Julie's Gear Diary - 1G iPhone Trade-in Program - 2008-08-26
The Gadgeteer —
... I just received this information and thought I'd pass it along as this might be a solution for those of you wanting to upgrade your 1G iPhone to the 3G. NextWorth will allow you to trade in your 1G for $200 - $300 in cash. You mail them your phone, they mail you a check. Here are some more details... ...

You don't know how much you'll be getting until it's in their hands. It will give "up to" $200 for a first-gen iPhone in "light wear" condition, but only if it is an 8GB model or larger.
And the deal goes from "amazing" to "Detroit Craiglist" pretty quickly: a 4GB iPhone with normal wear, for example, nets only $139.50

NextWorth now paying for your old gadgets
CrunchGear —
I can’t tell you how much stuff I have lying around my apartment and office that I’ve been meaning to unload for the last few months or even year. I’ve used Flipswap and Gazelle in the past with varying degrees of success - $20 vs $45 for an old Nokia from college – and now NextWorth is getting in on the used gadget recycling game with added categories.
They originally started off with the iPod and iPhone and now they’re taking in old BlackBerrys, digital cameras, GPS units, video games and video game consoles. I quickly checked to see what I could get for my ...
NextWorth wants more than old iPods now
Crave: The gadget blog —
... I lost interest in eBay-ing my old tech when all the PowerSellers moved in making it more difficult to unload an unwanted or unneeded gadget. That's why trade-in sites make sense; I'm willing to take a little less cash than deal with setting up an ad, ...
What to do with that old iPhone?
IPhone news, updates and Iphone information —

Sell your iPhone 3G at a profit
iPhone Atlas —
... Not too shabby, eh?
Of course, with the sudden glut of used iPhones out there, you may have a tough time finding a buyer. If you'd rather not deal with the hassles (and potential wait) of selling to another individual, consider selling to a service.
iPod fix-it shop Rapid Repair, for instance, has an iPhone buyback program that's currently offering $230 for an 8GB iPhone 3G and $270 for the 16GB model. They even pick up the cost of shipping.
I also got an online quote from used-gadget buyer NextWorth, which offered about $220 for my 16GB 3G: ...
NextWorth introduces new recycling service for cell phones
Gadgetell —
... offered me $50.
Offers for other phones though were more generous. Got an original iPhone? They’ll give you $122 for it. A Palm Pre will get you $105, and a Blackberry Storm $83.

If you decide to give NextWorth a try, let us know how it goes!
