Hi girlfriend's phone contract is up for renewal in March and she's obviously gonna sell off her old one (16Gb iPhone 4S in white)

Thing is.. it has a cracked back, about half of it. Would it make more sense to get it repaired before selling it? Not sure if it will actually make her any money or not? It seems the recycle price is around £210, what do you think she'd get for it still cracked?

Also... with these recycle sites, would they accept a cracked phone, or is eBay the only choice really?

Recycle site won't give you 210 if it has a crack

I sold my 4s with a cracked screen for £200 when I upgraded. I was offered £90 for mine through a recycle site. Might be worth just seeing how much you can get as is. Less hassle and you may get someone who can repair it themselves.
