Looking to sell 8GB 3G Iphone

Due to me upgrading a month early onto an 18 month £30 contract which includes a Blackberry 9700, 300 mins, unlimited txts and unlimited data on O2, I am looking to sell my original Iphone.

The iphone itself has minor wear and tear marks on the front but on the back has some scratches and a crack which starts at the bottom of the back casing and goes up about an inch. The phone is in perfect working order and was originally a reconditioned handset and would come with the original box in which i received it and the manual and mains charger but no headphones.

What price should I be looking for for it? Should I look at Cex or cash converters?

    Should get £10 or more for it. Depends on what the buyer wants to pay.
    Check out ebay or gumtree and see what people are asking to what buyes are paying.

    I would recommend the Ebay route. I sold my pristine 2G 8 gig Iphone for well over £200 around six months ago. This was considerably more (even after fees) than Cex or any of the usual companies who buy phones.

    Well if you check out any of the recycling websites like o2's (using it as a base for this), they would give you £165 if the phone was in pristine condition, as it's not, you will get considerably less

    Info below taken from o2's page:

    Your phone has taken quite a beating, you might be best selling it to a recycler.

    Even in a non working order you get £70 - http://www.mazumamobile.com/sell_mobile_phone.php?action=view&prod=1179

    Yours in kinda of in the inbetween area so £100 is just about reasonable.
