It is time to decide what to do with your old iPhone now that Apple has officially announced the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. The new models will be available on September 19th, which still gives you time to lock-in a trade-in value for your old device. The electronics re-seller Gazelle is currently offering up to $335 for select used iPhone models, but prices normally fall sharply when a new iPhone is announced, so you should act now.
Trading-in your old iPhone model for cash is easy and can nab you a new iPhone 6 for free. For example, the 4.7-inch iPhone 6 will be available for pre-order on September 12th starting at $199 and the 5.5-inch iPhone Plus will be available starting at $299. If you lock-in your trade-in value now you could potentially get up to $335 depending on the condition and model of your iPhone. That's more than enough money to buy a 16GB iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus.

Do not lie about the condition of your device or you will not receive an accurate quote. Finally, click the "Continue" button to receive your estimated trade-in value. If you agree with the price you can click "Get Paid" and log in or create an account. This will lock-in your trade-in value for 30 days and you can change your mind at any time.
