How Much Is Your Smartphone Worth On eBay?

I’m the first to admit that when a new smartphone gets released, I’m tempted by the additional features.
The thing is, most of us can’t justify purchasing a new smartphone, or you might be stuck in a two year contract.

Well, eBay says there’s now $6.4 billion reasons to consider selling your old phone, and then using the money towards purchasing your next phone. eBay data estimated that there are $6.4 billion worth of second hand handsets sitting in drawers across Australia, with models selling for an average $286.
