I posted this on the hermes section I didnt even relize there was a section for the touch pro so I thought I would post it here too...
Hey guys just wanted to share the deal I got and share how to do it if your looking at getting one. I thought I was going to have to wait a few more months for it to get down to my $500 price point that I would buy it.
Basically the deal is you get 30% back (up to $200) from live.com cashback.
heres the link on slickdeals on how to do it.
http://forums.slickdeals.net/showthr...75160&t=952519
Heres a quick run down of how to do it in my words.
1. go to live.com and search sony ps3
- there will be a small banner at the top for ebay getting 30% cash back
2. click on it
- it will take you to ebay and you should see a small banner at the top of the page saying 30% cashback
3. search for the htc touch pro
4 click on one of the buy it nows
- after going to the one you want to buy you should still see the banner
5. click the buy it now this will take you to a page that confims your getting the deal before you have to commit to buying.
6. go through the checkout process
7. finally you will get to the page that looks like the screen shot I attached.
8. you will get an message from ebay in your ebay messages you follow the link and either sign into your cashback account or make one.
The catch is you have to wait 60days to get the 200 bucks. But Ive been using cashback for a while and you do get your money. So if you can afford to put up the full 700-800 and wait 60 days to get the 200 back this is a pretty good deal in my opinion.
Again Im not a seller on ebay or anything, just wanted to share my deal!
The cashback thing actually works! I used it to buy my laptop. I was thinking about this, but I am going to wait for the Fuze because I wan't 3G!
It is 3g tho isnit?

UPDATE SOLD
Thanks
Have you considered selling the wife instead?
VERY low price !?? got mine for £200 inclusive of phone and contract costs over 12 months on the first day it was selling in the UK !
stunno's suggestion makes sense
yeah i agree dump the wife.
no way she can be as useful as the diamond.lol.
proberley be easier to replace as well.
hummmm
my low and your low are too diffrant things i think
just read your sig....diamond and pro...your just greedy
Knock £100 off that price and you might get somewhere.
you won't sell it second hand for that much

I think your right - I'm just greedy - hence the presure I'm under from "her" to sell one and the Pro is much better of the two so sadly its the Diamond thats on its way????
I did research the prices on Ebay first of all and its still as new - nothing other than the phone came out of the box and its had less than 8 hours exposure - Rom's all reset and the phone is as good to go outa the box now as it was when it arrived - will it sell? Who knows - hence the "best offer" option..... but I'd expect you guys to push the price - of course we would but I'm sure someone will want it un-branded, no contract and original HTC.....
I did look for a catagory for listing "wives" on Ebay but apparently its not legal??? Shame???

ok i was anticipating the att fuze being on sale (50percent off) but i just calleda nd only the quickfire and the matrix (lame feature phones) were buy 1 get 1 free...Im so upset i was really looking foward to this and i would have put my money on them having the same sale as last year especially since people are dying to make a sale because of the economy...maybe i can haggle em
I'm very upset aswell. I thought there would be good deals. Our economy really is in the drain. I didn't even head out for black friday. The deals were horrible.
Microsoft Cash Back seems to have 25% off
I searched ATT Fuse from Microsoft LIVE and got a 25% off link back to AT&T. That's no 50%, but better then nothing. You must be logged into Live for this to work.
its actually 30% off now

Got any more info on how to do this? I searched for it but just see general info links, nothing about discounts...
Thanks
Yes I can't figure out this deal either, but 30% is definitely a lot. I would like to have some more info too.
can't find it anymore
it seems like they pulled it - live search had the 25% cashback logo next to the at&t text link.
its still there, i swear i feel like i've explained this 20 times...
1- go to www.live.com
2- search for "buy it now" or "cheap wii"
3- you'll see the save 30% on ebay link at the very top, click on it
4- this will take you to ebay, and you'll see a 30% off thing at the very top of the page
5- search for whatever you want, and when you buy it now, you should see the amount of cashback your getting
good luck
omar
but who wants to buy a fuze off of ebay& theyre going for like 400-500 bux? it would be chepar to get it directly through att unless you are stuck in contract and not eligable for an upgrade...
OK...so if you search enough times the cashback ads in the grey box will come out, but I also read that it is only for new lines, not upgrade or add a line and things like that. Man I miss those coupon codes.
25% off from ATT Store - no upgrades
Use this link, be sure to click on the ad in the grey box, not the search result.

The following purchases on www.wireless.att.com are not eligible for Cashback Rewards ("Excluded AT&T Purchases"):
a.upgrades, add-a-lines or device purchases with GoPhone (prepaid) service;
b.purchases that are not completed using www.wireless.att.com's checkout flow
c.Purchases that have a total due today of zero
Live.com Search Cashback still works but...
I bought a new sealed AT&T Fuze 11/29 on ebay. The cost was $499.99. I paid through PayPal and received an INSTANT 30%, $150 live.com cashback credit to my paypal account. I transfered it to my bank account and it was credited on Monday. I haven't even received the phone yet!!
I followed "omaralt's" instructions, but I searched for the HTC Tilt. The Tilt appears as a cashback link to ebay. I followed the link, searched for the Fuze, found a reputable seller, and clicked the "Buy it Now" button. The cashback logo then appeared and the rest is history.
The Live.com Search Cashback still works but has been reduced to 20% at this time. Not bad if you don't want a contract (and want to keep your unlimited MediaWorks).
In my case, I paid $350 for a new Fuze; no contract and no plan changes.
Good Luck!
Hey, so I got these 2 £15 vouchers for expansys when I bought my HD2, but they are only valid until tomorrow and so I need to decide on something to buy with them or it is going to be wasted money, I bought a cradle with the other one, so now I have that it kind of stops me getting something like a silicon case as it would not fit in the dock and I couldnt be asked to constantly take it out. So have you guys got an quick inspiration on what I could get? they sell loads of stuff there not just phones stuff, so I have a wide selection to choose from.
http://www.expansys.com/
Alternatively if anyone wants to do me a massive favour and trade it for £15 if they were planning on buying something tonight, then that would just be great! However I will only trade if you are a trusted member of XDA.
Thanks for reading guys ^^
(BTW Click this link to fill out a little survey and you get a £5 off voucher for any order over £20 bair in mind it took me about 5 days to recieve the email)
Hey guys,
Just wanted to share some information that I got with you.
I got my Sensations 4G from the local Costco. I paid $250 for them, and will get $50 MIR. That sounds like the price everywhere else, right?
But no! Because when they start selling the phone for $99 in about a month - We can get them to match the price and get another $100 back! Plus we get 90 days to switch the phone to something else that just came out.
How I know all that? I am one of the many that did the mistake of buying an LG. And all that I just stated happened to me with my voyage with the LG. I asked if its the same policy with the Sensation - and they said Yes.
The story is that I got the LG for $250, got the $50 MIR, in a month - the price of the G2x was $99, so I got $100 back. I was one of the first that got the phone, and I got it for less money than anyone else! Ofcourse, the phone was a big disapointment for me and my brother, so we had to return ours, but we got the Sensation. No contract renewal or anything else. Just added the extra $100 to get the phone.
So go ahead people, get the phone from Costco and save your hard earned cash! Amazon and Wirefly and T-Mobile sell phones at the same price at Costco, but in the end - you will save a lot more with Costco!!
P.S. - No, I am in no way affilliated with Costco (thank god...), I am just one of the many consumers looking to get the best deal for their money.
P.P.S. - I don`t know how much they are asking for the no contract Sensation 4G. Did not care enough to ask.
Cheapest place to get it will be the Tmo website on Fathers day.
250-50 mail in rebate-50 promotional code-120 for the fathers day sale= 30 dollars.
Yes it's not 30 bucks that you pay right now but that is what it works out to be at the end of the year ( when the 10 dollar a month off data father day sale pays fully ).

Cool, do they let you switch the phone in the next 90 days ? Its all about the perks, not the price only. Plus in future the price will be lower.
It's still 100 ( if they drop the price 100 in the next 30 days ) vs 30 but you do only get 30 days ( depending on location, we get 30 in California ) to exchange.
Bird in the hand and all.
oh well...
Im just trying to share my experience, and hopefully I can help someone by doing so.

Same here, cheers.
I am going to upgrade my phone soon. So it will be mint. I am getting a new one sent to me from tmobile because I have device protection plan and a button is not working correctly. So the back cover and battery are the only things that wont be new. It will come with all original things in the box and an otterbox case in ok condition. So new phone old back and battery but in good condition. How much?
There is a recent completed auction on ebay where a new one went for $270. An unlocked used one went for $240.

Just put it on e-bay and you will find out for sure!
.
Thread moved to Q&A due to it being a question. Would advise you to read forum rules and post in correct section.
Failure to comply with forum rules will result in an infraction and/or ban depending on severity of rule break.
So do u think that it would be fair to put it up for $200 o.b.o?
Is time critical?

No I will be selling it about the 15th of this month because it will be paying for some of my HTC One S that I will be purchasing on the 22nd when it is released for tmobile.

Here are some links to recent closed auctions on new HTC HD2's. Draw attention to the newness but let them know the truth. Used ones are going for a lot less.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/HTC-HD-2-Bl...0949268003?pt=Cell_Phones&hash=item3f15d5ba23
http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-HTC-HD2...0693935639?pt=Cell_Phones&hash=item43aeb57217
If time is not of the essence, then put it up for 7 days set to end around 10-11PM Pacific. (most of the US is at home around those times so they are more apt to be near their computer if they are watching the item.) But don't set it to end on a Friday or Saturday night.
I would start bidding off at $1 with a buy it now of $230 or so. Buy it now is for the sap that just has to have it and you take a little trade in price for the early sale. The $1 opening bid will attract a lot of watchers thinking they will get a good deal. They may, but you will most likely get what you want.
Look at the links of the high sellers that I cited above and copy their auctions. Read the text well and make sure it is truthful. Since yours is not completely NEW, be sure to list that it is pristine EXCEPT for the following....... blah, blah, blah. Do that part at the top of the details so there is no excuse if they don't see it.
Don't use a generic picture. Take pics of the actual phone you are selling, including the parts that are not new like the battery cover so the people will see that it still looks brand new even though the battery cover is used.
Most important..... Put in the auction title/description the carrier name and NO CONTRACT!!. THAT DRAWS THE MOST ATTENTION TO YOUR PHONE.
Something to the effect of " Never used HTC HD2 T-Mobile Smartphone. NO CONTRACT"
List the auction as new with the exception of .....
List your accessories in the body and picture them. List in the title if you have the room. Simply add "w/accessories" and list the items below in the details.
Shipping is your choice. I would list it as being able to ship out the next business day after confirmed payment or ships same day if payment is early enough. You can charge for shipping or offer free expedited shipping. (Flat Rate Priority USPS box will run you $5 plus a couple of bucks for delivery confirmation)
I would do paypal only. If they want to send a check, pass on it or let them know it will not ship until 5-7 days after receipt of the check for it to clear completely. But really I would not even go there.
Good luck.
That is what I would do. Just my two cents. This is how I sell my old phones and I have always been successful at getting top dollar.
Thank you so much. I will do exactly this when it is time to sell. I will start bidding around the 11th or so so that I will have time to sell it and get the money so that I can purchase a new phone. I just need it as long as I can because I dont want to be without a phone for to long. Again thanks for the help!
Post back here when you start our finish so we can see how it went.
Good luck.
Ya for sure! I will post a link to the auction when I start it.
