by hanna cunningham

iPhone 5 is just around the corner. Its rumored release is one of the most talked about issues in the online community. People around the globe are waiting for the unveiling of this new gadget. If it becomes available, it will no longer be a surprise to see a huge crowd of iPhone fanatics flooding the Apple stores just to buy it.

Pretty soon these people will find themselves having two iPhone handsets: one, sparkling new, and the other, good but forgotten. And so, those who find it too hard to let go of their used iPhone 4 for donation might want to sell their iPhone 4 for cash.

So, here?s how to sell your iPhone 4 online!

Take your Pick!

There are a lot of ways you can sell your iPhone 4. But in case you want to sell it online, you have to pick your retailer first. Actually, there?s the long list of sites that offer venues where you can sell your iPhone 4 to. And this list would definitely bring you EBay and Craigslist.

These sites are obviously popular for their services. But, everything has a price. Their services will cost you something too. If you are successful enough to sell your iPhone 4 via these sites, they will get their cut from your sales. Now, would you like that?

How about being able to sell your iPhone 4 without sharing the money to anyone else? There?s nothing wrong with being uptight over something that is no doubt, yours. There are more choices than EBay and Craigslist that you can try. Say for example, cashforiphones.com.

NO PAIN, ALL GAIN.

Yeah, you read it right. This site works for free. And instead of taking money from you, they give it to you at your own convenience. You can sell your iPhone 4 to this company painlessly. I sold my iPhone 3GS to Cashforiphones.com when iPhone 4 came out. I gave them information like the model and condition of my handset. They gave me a quote and a shipping label which was free of charge. I sent my iPhone off the following day. After confirming the information I provided, presto! I got paid through PayPal. I wasn?t charged of anything. It was really no pain, and all gain!

Prepping up!

Okay, now that you know the smarter way to sell your iPhone 4, I shall give you the pointers on what you should do before you engage in the selling process. As a responsible seller, you must do a little preparation before you part ways with your old mobile buddy. It?s a simple thing to do, but it?s vital.

Before you sell your iPhone 4, remove all your personal data. (You should do this as it is for your own good.) Sync with iTunes and backup on everything. Click Restore button so you?ll get your iPhone 4 back to its factory settings. Leave no trace of your virtual self and have your old mobile buddy ready to meet its new owner.

If in any case that you don?t have your computer with you and you can?t sync with iTunes, you can also wipe your iPhone clean of all your personal stuff using the phone itself. This will still guarantee that when you sell your iPhone 4, your personal identity will not go to somebody?s hard drive.

As with the first step, create a backup. This should always be your Plan A before you decide to sell your Phone 4. Your Plan B is to check if your iPhone is fully charged or has sufficient amount of power. To make sure, just plug in the cables and continue with Plan C. Your Plan C is to go to general settings and tap Restore. This will take a while so you can do another thing while waiting for it to be done.

Beware of Scammers!

There really are people who don?t play fair. You should be aware of this to avoid scammers. When you opt to sell your iPhone 4 online, be conscious of the ways of your buyer in terms of their buying process. Usually, transactions requiring money order or wire transfer are shady. Payment methods through PayPal and mailed check are better.

Also, do not go for fake advertisements about how you have won a new iPhone or anything as phony as the above mentioned. Scammers will go as far as they can to take advantage of you. You must be very careful and you must stick to the ones offering you the simplest and easiest way to sell your iPhone.
