Which of these Mobiles will sell for the most money?

[TaketheCannoli]

Bit of research / planning on my part here so I hope you don't mind contributing

I found out today that my mobile contract can be renewed on 16th July and, to raise funds for other things, I'm planning on selling my replacement handset unopened and keeping my trusty S2 for another two years.

So, based on what they'd offer me today, which of the following would you say I should go for to raise the most cash? I know I can look on ebay but that only tells me so much. I'd like to hear from you as users, buyers and maybe previous sellers (and I suppose potential buyers of mine if I sell it here).

Today they'd offer me:

Samsung Galaxy S4 (black or white)
Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini (black or white)
Iphone 4S (black or white)
Iphone 5c (which I've never even heard of!)

Please remember that I'll want to sell it quickly and easily and raise the maximum amount possible.

Thanks for reading and for taking my poll (ooh err!).

Look on CEX

As said,, worth a look on cex.
Used them before and prices seem to be fair.

Look on CEX

I wasn't aware of CEX but a quick view has helped - thanks.

Have you looked at not renewing your contract and getting a sim only contract instead. It might work out better and save you the hassle of selling a phone.

Have a look here for sim only deals - http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/best...thread-1623625

The 5C will sell much quicker (priced right) than the others

But, in what colour?

I'm beginning to see that the 5C would raise the most £s but you're right Steve, the colour will be all important. Today they'd offer me it in black or pink but we'll have to see come July.

Check your small print. Mine now says you can't sell the phone for the 1st 3 months

That. I'm currently paying under a fiver a month for 2GB/1000min/100SMS - offer long since gone but you can get close to it.

Sorry I mustn't have explained clearly - I'm after the influx of cash the sale will give me rather than reducing my monthly payment.

Apologies for questioning your above statement, but get a bank loan and pay it back with the money saved on your monthly payment by getting a sim only deal?

Seriously, it seems a bit strange to pay for a brand new phone only to sell it straight away. Here's an example for O2:
iPhone 5c on cheapest 24 month contract total cost (nothing to pay up front): £33 p/m. Total over 2 years: £792
Same minutes/sms/data on sim only deal: £14 p/m. Total £336.

That's a difference of £456 and you'll get nowhere near that selling a locked base model 5c. If you got £350 for it, that would equate to an APR of 30% on the monthly repayments.

The OP knows the handset isn't free. It's simply a money raising excercise, which provides cash mow, to be paid back over time.

Some on here do it with watches on 0%.

I've always found selling iPhones on eBay is the best way to do it. They always surprise me with how much more they go for than I originally thought.

Exactly right. Thanks for all your help with this folks.

5c in white.

[Kinky]

The 5C will always go first. Although I must confess it holds absolutely no appeal to me whatsoever.

[nick wood]

definately the iphone out of those listed
