>Used versions of the iPhone 5 seem to be going for under $100 on eBay. Even assuming a discount for new vs used, that would mean you value the iPhone 5 about $200-300 more than a typical eBay buyer.
An iPhone 5 purchased today would run poorly with current software, and the battery life would probably have deteriorated due to age. I took your question to mean that I’d get the same experience that I’d have gotten from purchasing a new iPhone 5 in 2012.
