Best bet is to check ebay and compare prices

about 350 if you actually want to sell it, possibly 375

Thanks for the replies. Its brand new just that this guy dropped it in water and ssold it to me for cheap, you think its more than 350? LikeLike

I wouldn't pay any more than $300 for a refurbished phone. You can't say it's brand new, but refurbished.. Those 2 things are on 2 different ends of the condition scale. You could say like new refurbished.

Got this one for 433 on Ebay. There was a cheaper one, but my dad ordered this one cause they were in the same state.

Dramatic Difference In Screen Quality (PIC Added)

I just received my replacement t989 from TMobile, and realized my original phone's screen quality was horrible! I powered them on side by side, and my new phone looks clear as day with bold colors, and my original phone looks distorted and VERY yellow! I will post pictures after work. Has anyone else noticed this?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

Yes. Also got a replacement recently and I can attest the screens have gotten better on the newer-made phones.

Updated OP with a picture I took of them side by side. You can clearly tell which one is which.

Same here, my previous t989 screen was crappy and the moment I turned on my replacement phone I noticed a huge difference with the screen quality, felt like I am using a whole new phone.

I haven't got a replacement for my s2 but I've received for other phones from TMobile...i was just answering you...and yes they are refurbished...
But I'd like to know how long they had their s2's before they got the refurbs...maybe the screen degrades really fast...

I think the replacement just has a better screen. I don't see them degrading to that extent, especially in this short of time.
If you have insurance T-Mobile discounts the exchange to only $5 and you get free overnight shipping.

It was free, but they changed it to $5. It's worth it though since they added overnight shipping.

Value of iPhone 5?

I have a coworker that has the Iphone 5 and has had it past the return period but after playing around with my S3 she wants one.. I told her I would trade if she wanted and she does.
I have no intention of keeping the Iphone, but I figure I could sell it and pick up a S3 and make some money.
What could I expect to sell a flawless Iphone 5 for?
And what would be a fair price for an S3?

Carrier and storage and color? Check eBay, Amazon and Craigslist for comparison.

I've seen them being bid on ebay for 500$
Is it worth the trouble?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium

Around here (Albany,NY) on Craigslist an iPhone is fetching $550. My buddy listed one at that price and was getting emails and texts instantly. The GS3 is only getting $350-375.

That's what I'm thinking, I can trade for the Iphone sell it for 500$ and pocket a 100$ and rebuy the s3

Definitely. I'd do it.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

Why not tell her she can sell it and then buy an S III with the money she gets?
I mean I understand why you'd want to do it, to make a little change on the side, I just see some karma tied to this deal
Just my take

Well she doesn't want to deal with it all so I told her I would be willing to trade.. Just more of a convenience thing for her
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium

Why would you trade to an iPhone?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

I couldn't sleep knowing I screwed somebody over.
Offer to sell it for her and say you'll split end profits ( or even 60-40 to you).

Ok im back and have a GS3 again.
I ended up giving her my S3, otterbox and 16gb sd card.
In return i got a 2.5 week old mint iphone 5. Sold it for 550$ and was able to pick up a mint condition GS3 for $310, used the profit i made to order a 64gb card and new case.

I was gonna ask how you planned on getting another S3 off contract as they're expensive. But congrats.

You're better off buying it at Walmart, Best Buy charges you tax on their inflated full retail bogus price, Walmart doesn't.
