How to get the most possible money out of selling an iPhone on eBay?
I have an iPhone 4 8GB (White) on Verizon, and I'm looking to get the new iPhone 5.To get the money, I'm going to sell my iPhone 4 on eBay. First of all, I have the original packaging, headphones, and original charger. I will make sure that the phone is completely wiped down and clean, and I'm going to throw in my $30 Otter Box to sweeten the deal. The phone is in very good condition. I will also make sure that the phone is restored. The point of my question is this: I've heard that if an iPhone is unlocked and/or jailbroken, it will go for much more money. Is this true? And I know nothing about how to unlock a phone. I do know how to jailbreak it, however. Would you advise me to do this? And how do I unlock an iPhone 4 on Verizon? Thanks!

p.s. How much should I hope to get for it?

You are right: To increase the value of your phone, you should definitely get it unlocked, not jailbroken though. Unlocking will make it work not only with Verizon but also with all (non-US) GSM carriers, so even customers in Canada or abroad can use it with their carriers.
However, if you decide to unlock your phone, make sure you are going with a proper factory unlock from one of the big online vendors like http://www.cellfservices.com/ as jailbreaking voids your warranty, can permanently damage your phone and doesn't support iOS upgrades, so the value of your device decreases by doing that.
Factory unlocking your iPhone at: http://www.iphonefort-mobile.com/ can make your iPhone mpre valuable for resale.
- Which is better: selling on amazon or selling on ebay? I have an individual seller account and I've noticed that my products sell much faster or ebay. However, I sold two iphones. My final sale fee $1100. However, ebay charged me a final sale fee of $135 Then I was charged $40 by paypal Then I paid $60 total to ship both items. On my amazon account I sold 1 phone. The phone cost $180 Amazon took out $30 Shipping cost $10 So I made $140
