Trading Phones?

Hi Guys,
Quick Question, I have a Nokia N80 (yes, blasphemy around here - I Know). I don't want to sell it but instead I would like to trade it for a windows mobile 6 or 6.1 device.
I found a few sites that are for cell phone trading, but they seem to be more for profit of trading in old phones to buy new ones, not straight up trades.
Anyone here know of a good cell trading site, or, interested in trading a win mobile device for a N80 with a bunch of extras? It's all legit, I bought it myself in Brazil and paid for some apps for it etc. No stolen crap
Thanks,
Matt
www.swapz.co.uk
That's the only reputable one I know of
Thanks Leoni,
This site looks rad, but, because I'm in canada, shipping and mhz/voltages may be an issue.
I'll keep an eye out here though, look to be some great deals.
Thanks,
Matt
Have a look at www.esato.com they have a good marketplace going, and the a lot of the users are from different countries and quite a few international trades take place.

Dawso,
Thanks, this place looks great. Its too bad I have to wait 30 days before posting to the marketplace though
Thanks for the link either way, I'd never seen this place before and looks quite active.

HI Guys
I received a mail from a friend to look at a website www.I'm_A_Scam.com(I don't like scams)
They offer PDA's, Phones, PC's, Laptops, etc at amazingly low prices (an Apple powerpro for 250 euro!). It seems to be a Chinese website and maybe our Chinese friends from this forum can check this and if this site is scam, then we should spread the word or try to remove the website.

www.elephantcellular.com/
if in the UK
http://www.cex.co.uk/index.php
also http://www.3coffer.com/ looks like a scam site!
http://www.3coffer.com/
has SCAM written all over it, one of the classic signs of a scam is that they will use a free email account - they use yahoo in this case.
an Apple powerpro for 250 euro!

Now that is a legal store but I've always found that to be way way overpriced for second-hand gear.
all depends really,
i found ebay sell items £20/30 cheaper however CEX give a 12 month warranty with their items! and if you get grade A / B they are usually mint!
i got an unlocked XDA Trion grade A for £175 which i thought was a blinding deal!
XDA's on there are the highest price range - SPV's lowest so check out all the names for items and you may find a better deal

[Q] buying in the UK?

Buying in the UK
Hi
I purchased one of these on ebay.com and had it shipped to here. Unfortunately I ended up having to pay £50 vat at customs. I have seen them in Amazon but they havr been priced at around £450. Including the VAT I had to pay it still worked out at about £270. I only received the tablet yesterday, and the first thing I did was to flash the rom to TNT lite. Love this machine and it works so smoothly. Hope this is of some help

I live in Germany and ordered via borderlinx... Worked out fine, I was able to participate from low price from electronic express, who only ship within States. Make sure you search for some coupon code
Have you thought about the advent vega tablet? It is pretty similar if not the same HW as the g tab. Dont' know about the details, but maybe some investigating pays of... probably people ins this great forum know mpre about it )
Good luck!
If I lived in the UK I'd just get the advent vega.

Yep. Looks like pcworld has the vega back in stock... just get one. Its easier..
I got mine to Portugal cause a friend brought it to me.. else would try get a vega
thanks guys for your help[= been looking around and seemingly people are getting these g tablet roms to work on the vega which was my main worry in buying it[= thanks for all your help[=
I bought it on Ebay and it took about two weeks. One reason I bought it was because the support for g-tablet seemed to be much more than for the advent vega. Another important reason was that advent vega ran out of stock!! Both are good I think.

[Q] Any Reason NOT to Buy From Wirefly

Looking at getting a couple new phones, a Note 2 and a Galaxy Nexus on Verizon. Wirefly seems to have the best deals on the phone, but I wanted to check with people here to see if there is anything hidden, or pitfalls I should look out for.

My dad has ordered from Wirefly numerous times and has yet to have a complaint. I have never ordered from there but I don't see why not. Cheers!
Honestly none at all, I am one of their many satisfied customers, items ship quickly, prices are reasonable and they often have killer deals in addition to all the newest devices... It doesn't get any better... (well other than Amazon that is)
thanks for the info.

Looking for Reliable online Shop

Hey people Merry christmas and happy new year in advance.
I am looking for an online shop that sells android phones like goophone i5 or HDC I9300 and other awesome copies. I am from mauritius and well stuff are rather expensive here and by expensive i mean Real Iphone 5 is lets say approx USD 1100-1300. And well i really dont want to use that much money on a phone.
I've seen some sites like fastcardtech, chinaecarts and others, too many reviews with many different opinions and bad experiences like wrong product etc and also scam. Figured i could ask help from you guys.
Any links to some shops with good service, aftersales, response, handling, shipping, honesty. Well lets say great shops all in all. Please post them with any reviews and personal experiences that might help me out.
Or if you know high quality android smartphones for under $300 that play in the category of the likes of "LG Nexus 4, Galaxy S3" Lemme know.
Thanks,
Arshad

I'd recommend Everbuying. I sometimes get stuff from there and I find it pretty trustworthy
Thanks for the link i'll check it out.
Cheers
Any1 know where i can get the Yeezone S3 Mini. I can't seem to find any shop selling it,
And what do you think of the HDC Galaxy S3 mini.
Sorry im new user cant link.
http://android-sale.com/5i-4-inch-screen-1ghz-dual-core-mt6577-cpu-8mp-camera-phone.html
ok so i have settled for this phone. But i am still unsure. After much research there are too many conflicting answers and reviews.
1 moment scam, 1 moment good, 1 moment something else. I've even looked here and its the same. I don't know if its unsatisfied customers or people who never had any experience with them.
Could some people with experience with buying from android-sale.com light my path plz.
Thanks.
Hi folks. Did anyone know GlaDeal Store? It's trustworthy?
Update (13 March 2017)
After buying a Redmi 3s international got no reply for few days, then, after my second e-mail, they reply that: The phone wasn't available (but still available inside the online shop) then offer me to send me another phone, or refund. I choose refund cause Xiaomi (unless it is marked as international or global) it's not working in most of Europe country's due to the lack of Band B20 (800 mhz). They say the give refund the day after... I wait 2 days and nothing happens, so i call PayPal and pass the pratice to they. Curiously after vistit my shop account-board I saw that the refund was started, but with 8 euro less to the total amount that i pay for the phone.
I'm still waiting for PayPal for a reply. Anyway, they grant me for a total refund of the price that I paid.
Plus:
The online shop has security issues about SSL and DNS traffic. And this is not good at all for a shop that pretend to sell stuff online.
Greetings
