Deal Details
It looks like GameStop is now offering Visa Prepaid Cards when trading in iPhone. As far as I'm aware, this is a new option compared to Store Credit or Cash, and valued higher.
From checking a few different values, they are competitive vs trading in with Apple directly and a Prepaid Visa should be usable almost anywhere.

The other two phones i traded in (iphone x and iphone 7 plus) matched up to the price on their website.

I had used it on other carrier for about a year.
Yesterday, I went to GameStop and traded it and get $240 Visa Gift card.
The strange thing is, they give you $240 for IPhone 8+, but only $235 for IPhone XR.

It scanned everything, like is it Jail Break or not, it run about 15 minutes and there were about dozen of tests it run through.
The clerk also physically inspected the phone. But my phone passed all tests so the computer showed $240 offer.

The card is inside a package, you can only see the serial number from outside. To see the Visa Card number, expiration date, you have to break the package.
Anyway, it is best to use it as soon as possible. I have a utility bill for about $225, so I just paid it with this $240 Visa gift card today. The remain $15 I would load it into my Amazon account.
They buy up these older phones to remove the extremely valuable alien space metal. GameStop etc are just middlemen for Apple, and Apple pays higher price for bulk?

One of simple reasons would be that there's a fierce competition among android market based on how much hardware gets released almost on monthly basis, for Apple there's no such competition really since their system can be only used on their devices, it's kind of similar to why monopoly is bad for consumers but good for companies.

Btw, iphone 7 is the oldest they'll accept in case you wanted to trade in an older one.

Usually I have a schedule for them to charged on my reward card on due date, but today I just canceled a scheduled payment and manually paid for this month's bill.

How does it explain a newer iPhone model XR being worth less than the 8+? Maybe you can elaborate more on your non-explanation explanation.
