iPad and iPhone trade-in programs now available from PowerMax
Apple authorized reseller PowerMax has been in business for nearly 20 years, supplying Apple users with all sorts of goodies from new and used Macs to accessories. This week they've announced their iDevice trade-in program that will accept your older iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.To take part, fill out the appropriate form for your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch. You'll supply information like model, storage capacity, condition and any included accessories. Since PowerMax will pay participants in the form of store credit (which can be applied towards anything they sell), they can offer more than businesses dedicated to the resale of iDevices alone.
Once you've described your item, you'll be given shipping instructions. Send it off and the PowerMax team will inspect it upon arrival and if everything is kosher, release your credit. PowerMax has been accepting Macs this way for years, and has a loyal following because of it.

How long does it take them to get a quote to you.

Don't sell to these people offering you 50% of what you paid, it's a scam.

Would highly recommend them. Just got my new MacBook Pro i5 from them a few weeks ago. Thanks Gary M.!
how are the prices in comparison to say ebay. I can get about $200 on ebay for a 16gb white iphone 3g.

I've done several trade-ins with these folks. In the middle of one, right now - for my next iMac. And I thought I was just joking when I mentioned trading-up for an iPad with a camera when they come out.
My rep's answer was they'd be ready to do it as soon as I was.
Thanks Dave! Our iDevice trade in services are literally taking off like a rocket.
