You said gazelle has it at $160, so that's $CDN176 + shipping.
Assuming mint and all accessories.
AT&T bands right?

I don't even know why we are discussing gazelle here. Like cashforiPhones, it's an online pawn shop. You'll get no where near the actual value.
Here's what they do:
1. Offer you $180 for an item that is worth $400 (a lot of people think that's a good deal since they only paid $200 for it and don't understand subsidization).
2. Email you after receiving the item and tell you it's not worth $180, because it's scratched, scuffed or whatever, and offer you $130.
3. Hope you'll accept the lower offer rather than asking to have it shipped back to you (most people that chose this service will accept since they've already made up their mind that it's an easier option than eBay or Craigslist).
4. Pay you $130, sell it on eBay for $400 and make $270 profit (around $240 net profit after factoring in PayPal, eBay, and shipping fees).
5. Repeat.
If you want to maximize your profit, just put it up on craigslist. iPhones sell themselves. It's not difficult and it doesn't take long.

That's assuming a craigslist sale is time consuming and difficult. I don't think it is. You'll likely sell it to the first person who comes to see the iPhone and it only takes a few minutes to take a picture of your phone and post an ad on craigslist. In fact, it probably takes about the same amount of time that it takes to buy packaging, box it up, and drive to FedEx or UPS to ship it to gazelle.
But hey, if you want to willingly throw $270 away because you think it's an easier scenario, go for it. I'm just pointing out how you could be upgrading for free.
I can't wait until Kijiji expands to the US so you can see how awesome it is. It started in Canada but is (from what I hear) expanding soon. It's like Craigslist in concept, but miles better in set-up.
Got a second Nook for $175. His friend set the thing up badly so he was looking to dump. Was amazed at the night and day difference between Froyo and Gingerbread. I think I've been on the later about a year now. It's like comparing a 3G vs 4.
For awhile there was struggling to fix it and thought I'd flushed my cash but got past the blocks and on it now.

Well guys I managed to get overtime @ work and earn £200. £150 of which has gone to my grandad as he is pre-ordering for me this year. I will have at least another £150 coming for my birthday (today) so I will give that to him also! £300 down, £300 to go!
Selling on ebay or Craigs List is a much better deal than these buy it from you shops.
I sold my V1- which I stated in the description that the communications card was dead, but otherwise in near mint condition- for $130 (I think, it's been several years). This was about halfway through the 3G's life cycle.
There is always a market for iPhones, and you can always do better selling it yourself.

You can never tell about Apple what is upto under its sleeves. And then Apple wants to take the maximum profit from consumers before the launch of iPhone 5 and there should not be any surpirse if does that through an intermediary product.
we have 3 phones and I get the new one always then my son is next in line when we are eldgible again and hubby get's hand me downs (he cares not much about it) Now we only have a 3Gs 32GB when it is time to sell. I try to get it unlocked first.
This year I was thinking to get a phone without contract and unlocked as I do not know what is happening with us next year but changed my mind I can always pay off my contract if I need too.
Hopefully the next iPhone is back out at Springtime ?

Another iPhone in the springtime. Hmmm, two phones one year, seems almost porn-like
we can't be talking about the same Apple.
If Apple release one before september next year, assuming they release the iPhone 5 September this year, I will be severly peed off!
