It doesn't surprise me iPhones are not traded for Galaxy, however, no large screen premium Android phone is not traded for iPhone as well. If Apple would have larger version beside 4", Galaxy would be sold only into channel and to extreme Apple haters...
Mea culpa. I put No for water damage but I read it incorrectly as Yes is the affirmative that it is Free From Water Damage, hence my previous comment as noted in the screenshot below. They don't ask you about water damage on the iPhones I checked.
No problem. Just so many trolls on both sides these days I can't even tell whats real anymore. I'm stunned that the Galaxy S3 is worth more than the iPhone 4S. I'm glad you made me double check Gazelle.

I clicked on the first four Samsung phones that Gazelle buys, and the average price was about $15.
What phones where those? Where they high end phones from a year ago or did you notice that you your looking at one of the cheapest phones and trying to be a troll.
Nah, I think he's simply making the point that Android types are a bunch of cheapos.

It's also interesting that they don't care about the capacity which range from 16, 32, and 64GB options.
If they are trading in their phone now, what phone are these people going to use while they wait for the S4? :???:
Great question. It probably shows that the opportunity cost of not having a phone is pretty low for these folks. They're likely gaining a few bucks on their trade-ins by getting in front of the crowds that will arrive in a few weeks' time.
I find their main page more interesting. They have many separate categories for Apple's products as it's clear they hold their value in ways that is unheard of for CE, but also note that all other cell phones produced by all vendors regardless of the OS are lumped as a single item. On top of that there is no category for non-iPad tablets, and Macs get two separate categories despite their small number of models for each and yet not a single non-Mac PCs category.
Unlocked, flawless Galaxy S III with no water damage is $31*. Move it to the Verizon model and you lose $6.
Now lets compare: Apple iPhone 4S 16GB (AT&T or Unlocked) is $100. Not that much, is it? Oops, I forget to mention that's for a BROKEN iPhone. You move it to just GOOD, not FLAWLESS, and it's over $200. You have to go back to the iPhone 3G that was unveiled almost 5 years ago to get a trade-in price that is on-par with the Galaxy S III which was released only 10 months ago.

Uh are you looking at the same Galaxy S III as me.
Nah, I think he's simply making the point that Android types are a bunch of cheapos.
Don't take it personally. I am sure you are not.
If you go into Gazelle.com click on Samsung then click on At&t the first four phones listed are the Captivate glide (a galaxy S II variant with a keyboard) and the Captivate (Galaxy S Variant ) those are the only android phones on the list. The Glide is 67 dollars and the Captivate is 27 but hey it is 3 years old.
This ignores the fact that, as of today, the Galaxy S3 you cited is the current top of the line while the iPhone 4S is the previous generation.
I've been looking for a used 4S on eBay and Craigslist and it's absolutely amazing that a completely broken or water damaged phone is $200 or more. In like new condition, you're generally looking at a minimum of $300, usually more. Even iPhone 4 models are selling for a couple hundred dollars.
While there may be exceptions (especially when you choose to throw in a CURRENT model), most Android phones drop in value quickly.

Who said anything about Android? This was about Samsung phones.

He obviously just made a mistake, it happens. I even corrected him.
Edit: Saw his post. Thanks.

Android users don't actually use their devices. Usage share stats prove that. So trading it in now shouldn't have any impact on their daily lives.
It's also interesting that they don't care about the capacity which range from 16, 32, and 64GB options.

Don't be obtuse.
Just because people and use their iPhones A LOT (they are 700 dollars devices after all) that doesn't mean that android users don't use their devices.
Obviously they are not as good, but they don't have to be, after all...

Yep, why would they be using the iPhone 4s as a reference?
Even the iPhone 5 is soon to be the previous gen, as soon as the new iPhone comes out sometime this year.
