uSell offered me $49.95 for my Droid X in perfect condition with all cables and docks and accessories.

Swappa offered me $140.

I can't believe they offered you that much. you should take it while you still can, unless you can sell it on ebay.

You can get a lot more money on eBay. Sure it's more work but they payoff is worth it.

Buy poplular phones. It's the same advice when you lease a car -- the more popular the car, other things being equal, the higher the resale value.

If you get a cell phone you like and it's not popular, there's only so much you can do when it comes to the resale value.
