Nope.
Why would a two year old used product be more than... The brand new one? That sort of says it all, doesn't it?

So each year you make a couple hundred bucks and keep getting the newest phone at the same time.

this is probably why I have stuck with the iPhone from the start. even an old 16GB 4s sold easy for $300. yeah, you have to keep renewing agreements, but you would anyway getting any other phone too.
downside is AT&T removed their annual upgrade for biz customers, so now its every 20 months.
the new "upgrade anytime" solutions from AT&T and Verizon are a blatant RIP OFF as you don't get any discounts on the monthly service and paying full price for the phone
