Although the Best Buy product listing reads "Save up to $1,140.00 when you trade in a similar device [archive.ph]" (screenshot [archive.org]), there is currently no trade-in value that high. When I collected the data from all 2816 eligible trade-in SKUs, the highest trade-in value was $950.00.

Here are all the trade-in offers as a spreadsheet: Best Buy SKU 6559251 – All Trade-In Values.xlsx [archive.org]

Interesting math:
Google Pixel 7 Pro ― $600.00 base + $250.00 bonus = $550.00

I wouldn't trade my iPhone mini 12 either. It's still a great phone. The size is perfect for me and easy to put in my pockets.

I don't even like apple but I agree, Google pixel is not worth the price they are charging. And this is coming from someone who is currently using a pixel 6. Next phone will be Samsung Galaxy ultra 23, it has a better battery, faster charging, and a processor that doesn't overheat.

Currently I'm considering it, but only as a step in getting a new iPhone 15 pro max. Trade in for my phone is $580 through apple. Leaves $620+tax for the new 15 PM.

This way, I get the pixel 8 pro + pixel watch 2 for $80. I'm hoping to get $1k between them, $750 for pixel 8p, $250 for the watch. Worst case I'm thinking I'll get $800 ($600 for phone, $200 for watch). I'm taking a bit of a risk that I can get the higher side of of that. Either way, that's a better valuation than the $580 trade value through apple. Local value for my iPhone is between $600-$650. We'll see if the risk is worth it. I also like that the trade in is in person with Best Buy.

Don't do it. Pixel are really hard to sell. Google priced them crazy this year. Prices will tank once the phone releases just like Galaxy z flip 5.

When 4 generations old base iPhone 11 is worth more in trade-in than the last generation Pixel 7, it really makes me feel sad

Me because it's my wife's old phone(she just got the 15 pro max) and instead of selling a used iphone with 80% battery health I'm going to trade it on and sell a brand new pixel 8 pro and watch and probably come out ahead.

I know it's not directly accurate for everyone doing this trade but for my case it makes sense to me. (Especially since new phones are easier to sell than used imo) so it does make sense for some

Seconded, I tried flipping an unlocked P7 Pro from the Mint deal last year and, after about a month of rejecting lowball offers, I ended up breaking even on the sale price and felt lucky to do so.

It made sense because I needed to re-up my data plan and the sale bundle had a 6 month bonus, but I wouldn't try flipping a new Pixel with the idea of recouping more than trade in value + bonus. Folks thinking they'll get $200 for Pixel Watch are dreaming. I'd say they'll clear $1-150 at best for the watch and $5-650 for the watch and phone together.

7 years of updates will skyrocket resale value. No other phone gets that level of support.

Lol 7 year update doesn't matter when your phone's not gonna last more than couple of years. Pixels value sucks. Even Google themselves don't pay a decent trade for their own phones.

Haha. After ios 10 android 10 nobody cares...
Pixels have a bad reputation of being buggy for the first year. Google doesn't care. It is not their core business

These latest trade in offers seems to target Apple users to make the switch to Androids eco. Trade in on Androids is pretty bad
