Oh thank you this is helpful, I really appreciate this
There are kiosks at Wal-Mart and at the Shops at Ithaca Mall where you can enter your phone information, place the phone into the kiosk, and it either gives you cash, or a check. IDK which, possibly it's cash. ReUse, Thrifty Shopper, etc. are donation centers, they never buy items, only take donations. There is a phone repair shop on Cayuga St. at Ithaca Commons, if they won't buy your phone, they would probably know where you can sell it. Good luck. (try Craigslist?)
