Full FeedRapid Repair’s iPhone buyback program
Got an original iPhone that’s just begging to be upgraded? It’s awfully enticing, with all the increased storage space and 3G capabilities, and how could you forget the new plastic case that’s just waiting to be scratched? Yes, there are a ton of reasons to upgrade, but it’s hard to justify the cost when you have a phone that works. Rapid Repair might just have a solution for you.
Rapid Repair now has a 1st generation iPhone Buyback Program. It’s fast, it’s simple and they feel the prices are fair. It could be a better idea than eBay where you aren’t guaranteed anything except fees, fees and more fees.
They’ll even buy (in some cases) broken iPhones. So, if you broke it, they might buy it. Not bad.
If you’ve decided it’s time to part with your iPhone, go to their site and fill out the (short) form. You’ll be contacted by a representative who will give you more information and details on what needs to be sent where.
The current prices for 1st gen iPhones range from about $100 to $200 (4GB to 16GB). [Fast Voice] Prices are subject to change, contact Rapid Repair for qualification, see site for details.

Our new podcast: Meet...
We know. Podcasts are so last year - but this one you won't want to miss. Whether it’s a rumor that won’t die, a new product announcement, or just a really good Macintosh or iPhone app find that we have to let you know about, we’ll make sure it’s covered on Appletellcast.
iPhone App Reviews
iPhone Apps. They were great when the App Store was first announced and we could all pick and chose what we wanted, but the number is now overwhelming. Here at Appletell, we'll detail the great iPhone apps we find, and steer you clear from those that aren't worth it even if they're free.
iPhone Game Reviews
As Apple turns the iPhone into one of the most popular gaming devices, the staff of Appletell--gamers and Apple fans alike--are here to help you get the most entertainment value out of your app store purchases.
Even with the fees, you can get (at least) double your money on eBay from what you are getting from Rapid Repair.
Rapid Ripoff is more apropos.

I use ebay for a lot of things, including technology, and have never had a major problem with a buyer. But when I discovered PowerMax for computer trade-ins, I never considered ebay again even though I could probably get more money that way.
