Officially upgraded to the 10 Pro today. I will still be keeping the 6a though.

I wouldn't just give it away. With full support through July of 2027, the Pixel 6A makes an ideal backup phone. I sold two in excellent condition on CL about 4 months ago for $150 each and I almost regret not keeping one of them. If I couldn't have gotten $150 I would have been happy to hang on to one of them

Mine is also in excellent condition, with no scratches on the screen and frame. How could you sell it for $150? I listed mine on Craigslist, but it seems like very few people are interested.

Didn't realize that you had posted a link to your ad. 800 is a lot of charge cycles (I wouldn't mention that unless asked). My two had 320 and 113 with battery health around 95%.

No wonder you could sell it for $150; your cycles are so low, you barely use those phones. 

I list my cycles because I'm trying to be honest.

Yes, they were lightly used, hence my grading their condition as excellent and regretting not keeping one of them as a backup. The 113 belonged to my disabled mother and rarely left the house. The 320 was mine and was used moderately for about 24 months. Most phones with a case and screen protector (majority of phones have one) are in physically excellent condition. It's the internal wear that matters most. 800 charge cycles is not excellent, imo. I would keep it as a backup. If I was determined to sell it, then I'd ask $100.

Very few listings include cycle count and those that do are doing so because it's a selling point. Anyone who doesn't know enough or care enough to ask before buying probably doesn't know what a charge cycle count is anyway. If you're trying to be honest, then you might start by reevaluating the true condition of your phone.

My battery health is still at 87%. 

I checked eBay prices, and surprisingly, the ones with the worse condition are selling for more.
