Exclusive: iCracked will buy your old iPhone from you while you're in line for your iPhone 6

iCracked, repair and buyback for your tech

If you're planning on standing in line at an Apple Store for an iPhone 6 or 6 Plus tomorrow morning, you might be able to actually sell your old iPhone while you wait and have money available to buy the new device. iCracked has a brilliant idea they're trying out tomorrow. They'll have techs on hand to look at your old device, make an estimate, and if you accept, they'll hand you a debit card that you can use to pay for your new iPhone.

iCracked is an international company that employs 677 "iTechs" to do iPhone and iPad repairs on-site. The company also buys used equipment, and is known for its "do it yourself" repair kits as well.

Of course, not every Apple Store will have someone on hand, but we have the list of iCracked locations available here. If you use the service tomorrow, be sure to tell your tech that you read about this on TUAW.
