Question about buying iPhone 3G

[i.Annie]

Ok guys, I'm gonna put up for sale (not right now, this is a figurative question) an iPhone 3G and was wondering how much you'd pay for it. Here's some info about my phone:

1) iPhone 3G 8GB
2) New RED housing
3) Bootloader 5.8 (for the experienced, we know this means it's always unlockable by baseband downgrade)
4) comes with original charger/sync cable
5) comes with Speck Candyshell white case
6) comes with yellow Elago slim fit case
7) comes with 4 mirror screen protectors (1 already on the phone)
8) scratch-free cuz of new housing, screen was just replaced today
9) of course jb and unlocked on 4.1 (can downgrade to 3.1.3 of course if need be)
10) problems: power button and vibrate switch do not work, volume rocker is working fine

I ask because the two buttons/switch doesn't work at all and I don't know if I want to replace the flex cable to fix it. If I can still get $250 out of it, I won't bother to fix it. I figure $250 cuz I spent money to get a new screen and housing, so I'd like to ultimately get $200 but cover the other parts that I bought with the extra $50. So would you guys pay $250 for it even with the buttons broken? The rest of the phone works perfect. I appreciate your inputs

I am sorry to say but no... I would not pay your asking price for it because of the buttons being broke.

Ok well say I replace the flex cable and fix it, would you pay $260 for it?

From my comparison on ebay you would not be asking to much for it if the buttons were fixed. For me I rather buy my toys brand new from Apple.
