i was fortunate, last year i sold my 3g a few weeks before the 3gs came out for $30 less than the price of the 3gs. i used my 2g during the gap. wasn't looking to make a profit but was glad i covered almost all the cost of the upgraded phone. i had a friend who tried to sell his after the 3gs was released and could only get half of what i did for mine. by then the market was flooded with people doing the same thing.

Thanks. Bummer. No biggie. I figured it'd be worth considering if easy.
There are Web sites paying $100+ for my phone now, or I could get a trade-in credit of $100 at Radio Shack, I read. (I would get iPhone 4, plus the credit, but I'd need new accessories.)
I don't need the latest and greatest phone for my uses, though. I haven't loaded a single video on my iPhone in all this time, and have only a few audiobooks on it, no music. I got the phone for the Internet and e-mail (and have made great use of it, especially while traveling). Now that I have iPad, I barely use the phone. I figured if I could sell a 4 version for several hundred, I would buy a second iPad. I want one, but can't justify it.
