Nathan 287 Posted March 12, 2012 So has anyone ever heard of http://buyingapples.com/ ? I used them when I got the 4S. I was still under contract with ATT so for the 4S it cost me $450 bucks. I sold my iPhone 4 to BuyingApples.com and they gave me $300 for it. So I actually got the 4S for less than the 2 year contract price. I plan on using them again when the iPhone 5 comes out. Just wanted to let everyone know about my experience as I couldn't find a whole lot about them online. They will mail or PayPal you the $. I got mine PayPal'd.

SpikeTheLobster 61 Posted March 12, 2012 LOL, this'll show you my opinion of Apple... when I saw the URL, I assumed it was something about organic fruit. Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChuckTesta 37 Posted March 13, 2012 LMAO, organic fruits? haha I've not heard of that site. However, a lot of sites offer that. I typically just sell mine on Craigslist. Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nathan 287 Posted March 13, 2012 I thought about going on Craigslist, but they offered more money than I could get on Craigslist without the hassle. Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1ufakin 1 Posted May 19, 2012 Helpful post, will consider using this site when i upgrade my iphone 4 to a iphone 5. Just wondering do they ask about the condition of the phone? Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JHTech100 11 Posted May 24, 2012 This is nice. Maybe I'll end up using them when I get a new iMac down the road. Apple hardly pays anything for it, but it still runs great. Thanks for sharing this; I'll have to remember that site. Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
olliesub 0 Posted June 15, 2012 This seems like an interesting website! I think I will use this when my Mac becomes out-dated. Having the money Paypal'd to me would be great as well! I'm glad they put an option for shipping your Mac, because that's the only Apple brand device I have in my house at the moment. Thanks for the share!

Marc 49 Posted June 20, 2012 So let me get this right, you sell your phone at some point into your contract and then use that money to pay off your contract? Askin as Im wondering if I could do this with my S2 and get the S3 Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nathan 287 Posted June 20, 2012 So I get the new iPhone every time it comes out. That is 1 time per year. But each time I buy a new one AT&T makes me resign the 2 year contract. So every time I purchase one I pay the full amount of like $499 for a phone. With these guys I first go buy my new phone for $499 get everything swapped over then I mail my old phone off to BuyingApples and then give me a check for $290. Now if you are out of the 2 year contract with AT&T it would cost you $199 for the new iPhone as you can see with BuyingApples I end up paying the same as if I was a new account.

However Im thinkin of this in a different way. Ya see Im not bothered about being on contract. In fact with the amount I use my phone its actually worthwhile me being on one. However Im now wondering if there is some kinda sweetspot between contracts where I get my phone for nothing, then can upgrade it a few month later for nothing by paying up my contract with the sale of my old phone. Gotta be worth a try Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
