Anyone else do this yet?
What was the condition of your phone? I called the the person who answered kept saying it had to be absolutely perfect, no scratches or dent.
Mine just has some minor small scratches on the back.

Judging by the posts on RFD, depends on the rep... some have taken back fairly worn units, while others are a lot more picky.

My buddy called EB Metro today and asked about the trade in value of his iPhone 3G. He was quoted $80 and told that EB dropped the trade in values this week due to the high volume of trades.
