I went to the apple store bought a new iphone and a case, total came to 255 w/ tax. Came home unlocked my old iPhone put it on craigslist for $315, ended up selling it for $300 cash. so basically I made $45, and to top it off my employer offers 18% off with a fan discount so that will more than offset the $10 increase in the data plan. Just thought I'd share my story.

How much did you pay for your old iPhone?

I did the same thing for my iPhone too! Got the original one for free, purchased a brand new 16gb 3g phone, sold my old one on Craigslist for $350!
