Default Selling iPhone 3G what's it worth?

I want to sell my iPhone 3G 8GB so I can fund my iPhone 4 . Early ugrade deal.

It's only 4 months old (so 8 months left on warranty) and has been protected front and back,also been unlocked by o2. The box will be coming with unused headphones too.

On envirofone they giving £150 I know that bottom price.

What should i realistically be asking for?

Unlocked. If you don't mind shipping to the US you'll easily get £250

I am going to be selling mine complete with box, in good condition. It will also include the apple dock and cables and I am hoping for around £260 as well

Careful with listings that say unlocked, check that it's an official unlock not some skanky backstreet job.

I'm hoping my almost brand new (as of last Friday - replaced under warranty) White 16GB 3GS will get me ~£250
I'm sure there will be a glut of them on eBay come the 24th June.

i dont think that's a big issue, as you can download the software to unlock yourself from the internet

Well that's kind of true Sam, you haven't been able to unlock a new iPhone for about six months, one mistake and you're locked out. Much better to get one unlocked officially.

If you have the latest iPhone with the latest Baseband 05.12 then it won't work. You'll have to wait until later this month when 4.0 is released. Maybe you're lucky but there is no unlock if iPhone is up to date.

Or perhaps you mean Jailbreak? If so then yes you can, but that's not going to help you when you put in a SIM from another operator.

Either way, not long to wait now.
