Do many of you guys really do this, you physically destroy the phones, like some guys do with hard drives?

Selling a thousand dollar phone for 800 or so isnt difficult. I typically got the 256 gb instead of the entry level 128 so that definitely helps the value. But yes.

I use my old one as one of my alarm clocks, since I prefer its alarm over the one my new phone has.

do you get a lot back for it, good trade in value, but it's not like 3 yrs or something, then it would not be worth much?
