As long as your account is current, eBay is a good venue to sell your
phone and use the proceeds to buy a new one.

Big note here.

I'm in Southern California too, in Victorville. About a 90-minute drive from
Los Angeles. Our Costco's Sprint kiosk is operated by a Sprint authorized
retail agent whose policy is NOT to sell phones without a contract or a re-up.
They just won't do it. I don't know who Costco contracts with down closer to
the Big City; things might be different down there.
