I was just checking my trade in value for my iPhone 7+ (128GB), and the best I got from eCommerce sites here is ~$120.
Money is still money, so anything to be put towards a newer phone is probably good, and less old stuff in your house. When you guys are trading in your older iPhones, how low would you accept until you think it's not worth the trade and just keep the old phone?

Well for me, I've used Swappa for many sales and purchases. I use this website to estimate used value. So when Apple gave me just about the amount a used XS Max is trending, it is worth it for me. Relieves the hassle of trying to sell, package, and hoping for the best when shipped.

This is how I value trade in

I always sell myself. I’ve never had an issues and always get more than I could by trading the phone in.

Ditto here. Swappa is great. But if the trade-in value is within $100 of what Swappa shows as their sale trends on a device, I'll just trade it in due to the hassle factor.
