I've always bought used phones off eBay, won't pay more than $150. There are sellers on there that recycle phones professionally, just like the off-lease PC companies do.

Well, stop buying new shit. I'd estimate 80% of the things I own were bought used, created by me or found on the side of the road and repurposed/refurbished.
