On one hand, you just have to sell an iPhone 13 Pro and make a little less money.
On the other hand, you have to sell BOTH a Pixel phone and Pixel watch (unless you can swing a bundle). Given this and other recent deals, it's quite likely the market will have already been met / saturated in this context, so you may make barely any more money despite the extra hassle (of doing the trade-in, doing two sales, etc.).
Given this, I'm leaning towards just selling my older iPhone and calling it a day.
I figure the value of my 13 Pro Max is $600 on Swappa. At most. This deal at Best Buy for me is $138 after taxes. So I'd be good with selling the combo at $850 to make a smidge more. ($712 if I sold at that price) But how hard will it be to find someone wanting the combo. And then if you sell each individually, it's double the pain to sell and who knows what you might up end with. Some are saying the watch won't sell for over $50. Yikes!
Tough call here. I just know my Pro Max is dropping like a stone now in value and no other good deals out there to upgrade to an unlocked 15 Pro Max.

There's a good chance they'd have already bit via the Google Store (possibly after seeing a bunch of marketing in email or otherwise online) or via Best Buy, right?
It was fun last year when the Pixel 7 was close to free after trade. But with the price increase and lower values this year it's not something I would do just to flip.
Alternatively, you can buy iPhone se3 for 149 from Walmart, trade that in for $460.

But in terms of video I think the iPhone is going to still be better (we'll have to see)
The new Pixel might heat up like the six and seven did and if that's the case then even if it takes good video you won't be able to take it for long.
The iPhone 13 pro Max is still one of their best phones.
I would wager that even a heavily used 13 max will have much better battery life than a brand new pixel 8 pro
TIA
1. Get 2 phone for trade in ( has to be different - i.e one iPhone and other Android) reason being both trade in generates different sku based on different phone and that is key. If u trade same platform phone twice sku are same and it will not work as only one coupon of same sku works.
2. First get both trade ins done ( 2 times you need to sign) make sure each trade in gives you bb gift card and single use coupon -total of coupon and gift card should ne equal to trade in value u see online.
3. When entering tradein if they say u will get just 200 or 300 ask them to apply promo code google that's the trick
4. Only select unlocked phone colour black ( e.g for blue their is restriction that u need verizon and if u take verizon thank watch promo not apply)
5. Make sure to get watch added in same order ( as unlike online watch doesn't get added automatically?- dont be fooled by bb employee tell
specifically to add watch)
6. Watch color only black make sure also its wifi else it will mess up entire order.
7. After seeing all good then only pay for remaining.
8. Coupon values - of both phones reduces price before tax so effectively u pay tax on net amount apart from gift cards.
In my example I traded p7 and ip11 and got 200 × 2 gift cards and 250 coupon for p7 and 300 coupons for ip11..so net transaction 999- 250-300 = 449+ tax on 449 is net amount - 200-200 gift card = so 49+tax on 449 is the payment amount.
Watch should show 349- 349 = 0.

I got 6a for 250 with recent deal and love it. Played with 8 in Best Buy and thought it was good, but not worth sticker price
For 400ish? Absolutely
