Are those iPhone selling sites like Quibids legitimate? - midnightclub390 - 04-08-2014 08:25 PM
I have a 16gb IPhone 3GS. It's white and in fair condition. Cracked a little on the back near the port but an excellent phone. Think they'll buy it and for how much?

Quibids is what is referred to as a "Penny Auction". Where as they are not a ripoff per say, but more of a gambling website. For each "bid" of a penny, it will cost you a dollar to buy that bid. Your gambling that it will land on your penny bid when the timer expires. So if the item sells for 10.00 on Quibids, bidders collectively spent 1,000.00 bidding on this item, and the reason that they can sell this items "90% off retail". The rules are cleary spelled out and so its not a scam, but if you dont read them its your loss.

I doubt theyll take it. My sister and i looked on there and for every electronic we had, it said it was worthless, as in no money, even in perfect condition! Your best bet is game stop. You could also find an electronics recycling kiosk. If its in good working condition, you could get money for it. But i still reccomend gamestop.

No penny auction sites are not for used stuff.
Here's one site for Cell Phone, book selling usell.com
Craigslist.org, where you could meet face to face to sell to someone local might get you the best price.
