Selling used phone cases worth it?

[Joshua Luther1]

I have 4 iPhone 15PM cases that I’d like to get rid of. In the past, I’ve either included them in the sale of the phone or just tossed them. Is it worth it to try and sell them either individually or together on eBay? Would you buy a used case for say $10 or a lot of 4 for like $30-$35? Just trying to gauge if it’s worth the hassle to try and sell them or not. I did just sell my Quad lock case for the same price that I bought it for after only using it once. But that’s unique case made for a specific use. Of the 4 cases I have, 2 of them are made by bigger names in the industry. I was thinking of selling them all together along with the 3 extra glass screen protectors that I have for my phone for around $35-$40 plus the buyer would pay for shipping. Or I could just pay for shipping, which would kind of diminish the value of me selling them in the first place. I’d just hate to throw them away since they are all in excellent condition as I’m not hard on my phones.

Also, has anyone had any success selling things like phone cases on fb marketplace? I guess that’s another option so I don’t have to deal with packaging and shipping.

If you can afford an iPhone I am guessing your time is worth far more than you would recoup in trying to find ways to sell old accessories.

Right. It’s not about the money or recouping the cost. I was just curious to see if anyone had done it or if it was even worth it. My gut was telling me that it isn’t worth it.

seems like more aggravation than what it's worth

I find it difficult to even give away nice cases for older Pixel phones due to low demand. Instead, I bring them to Staples, which will recycle them (in addition to lots of other stuff: https://www.staples.com/stores/recycling#rec You can get rewards points on your Staples Rewards account for recycling (which can add up to credit for purchases).
