redkow97 Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 I have an iPhone 5c that I paid $1.99 for along with my last Verizon contract. It's about 4 years old now, and does not have nearly enough storage for modern apps, operating systems, and videos of my adorable children. I want to 'upgrade' to something with more storage. That does not necessarily mean a newer phone. a 32GB iPhone 5c would be fine. I rather enjoy being able to fit my phone into my pocket, the tail bag of my bike, cup holder of my car, etc. So which site is reputable and won't price-gouge me? is eBay a viable option? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimTheAzn Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 Does your place of employment have a for sale site or something? Mine does where employees can sell stuff, theres always phones and electronics, cars, furniture whatever up there for good prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted March 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 We don't... looking on Swappa right now. 32 GB version of the same phone I have is $130. Plus I can probably sell mine for $75 later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redkow97 Posted March 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 my Aunt is white-knighting this shit! I guess my cousin's kids are spoiled little tech brats, and she has a 16GB iPhone 6 that's just sitting in a drawer. $0 upgrade. that will work, even if it's less storage than I wanted.

Bad324 Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 came in for answers, wasn't let down. Will have to check out this Swappa thing. My 16gb 5S works great but I could use a 32gb or 64gb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary#17 Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 (edited) We've bought several used iPads from Glyde.com and they've worked out great. They sell phones on the site as well. Edited March 8, 2017 by Mary#17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

durk Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 I've been looking into doing something like this. If you buy an unlocked phone will it work on any network? Are you better off buying a used phone from the same network or a new unlocked phone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to look at the phone and then check to see if it is compatible with your provider. Verizon will be the one with the most issues, their network is a tad different.
