Going to Upgrade? NextWorth is Offering $250 for Your AT&T iPhone 4
Hoping to upgrade to the next iPhone? Do you have have an AT&T iPhone 4, either 16GB or 32GB, in good working condition with no heavy scratches or cracks? If so, this might just be a sweet deal for you.
Between now and the day before Apple announces the next iPhone, NextWorth is guaranteeing $250 for your device. Assuming the next iPhone retails for $199, this is like getting paid $50 to upgrade. Or something like that.
NextWorth claims the process is easy to get a quote, and that quotes are good for 21 days. All you need to do go to their website and answer a few questions, print out a pre-paid shipping label and carefully pack up your iPhone, and get it on a UPS truck. Once NextWorth receives and inspects it, you should get paid within 7-10 days.
Investing in that super-protective case when you got your iPhone 4 seems pretty smart now, right?

An update:
Finally sent the 3G off to Nextworth a week ago, got an email this weekend saying that since it has a 1/2" "crack in the back of the case" they're reducing the buy-back price. (Not by much, $7.) That's a TOTAL fabrication, the phone was case-kept the whole time & I cleaned and examined it carefully before packing with TONS of bubble-wrap and padding and shipping properly. It had no flaws, and I even sent it back in the original box, manual included.
Anybody who happens to stumble on this article do NOT use these scammers, now I see there are MANY complaints of them doing this & worse to people. We'll take the hit, but I'm lodging a complaint with Target also since they're the ones issuing the gift card for the value of the phone.

Not sure I want to upgrade from my iPhone 4 yet, but they're offering almost $80 for my Wife's 16GB 3G model which is decent enough. That thing is getting SO slow it's almost a brick.
