Yeah, Swappa is pretty solid for tech stuff like this.

A bunch of people who upgrade every year put their phones on sites like this. So when you do need to upgrade, you don't have to spend nearly as much. Conversely, if you do upgrade regularly, this lets you get some of your money back, lessening the blow.
