ATT (HTC) Pure starts selling today

The ATT Pure is official sold at ATT now! Can't wait for TP2 to come and I will really be a happy camper.

Price
If you read this article: http://www.pcworld.com/businesscent...nleashes_windows_mobile_65_with_htc_pure.html it says that the price is $150 with discount & 2 year contract. Umm, that's not what is on the site. Let's hope something changes. This phone looks nice IMO...
*edit* ok, so I'm an idiot... I'm a business customer and was trying to upgrade. You have to add a new line of service to get the $149

I just ordered mine last night online for $99 (I'll be getting another $50 back on rebate). I got $250 in online and contract renewal discounts, plus the $50 mail-in. Don't go to the store or call in...ATT has always made it cheaper to order online. I'm sure I'll be quite pleased with my $49 phone. lol

Got My HTC Pure
I got my HTC Pure Today.
Itz fantastic to have HTC make slim and light weight phones.
I found the phone very fast in speed.
It looks great too !!
The camera is really good compared to the other HTC phones.
Overall it is a very good buy for anyone who wants to have a highly functional and trendy phone.

Trading for a Thunderbolt

Hey everyone,
I have the opportunity to trade my 32gb iPod 4g plus cash for a Thunderbolt. Right now I have an Incredible, which I love, but the Thunderbolt looks SICK. How much cash do you think I should be willing to throw out there to get a Thunderbolt? I mean, it's worth it, right?

Yes Absolutely!!

I bought my thunderbolt from Verizon for $200 with a new 2 year contact and sold my 3g iPod Touch 32GB for $150.
Don't know how much that helps you, but there it is. The Thunderbolt is a pretty decent media player, although the output isn't quite as nice as the iPod.

I wouldn't think there should need to be much cash involved. I would totally trade in an iphone for a thunderbolt but not for a lot of money. It won't be the coolest phone for too long.

Turns out the guy wasn't really motivated to sell it. Wanted like close to retail price. Offered me $125 for my iPod. Yeah right!
And so my search continues. Back to my Incredible for now I guess! Darn 2 year contracts.

Buying the Infuse off contract.

So here is my dilemma.
I have been an HTC user for years. My Touch Pro 2 is hanging together by threads and needs replacing. Android is the way to go.
I have a Euro spec factory unlocked Iphone 4 on the way to me from my office in South Africa but I really do not like the Iphone form factor.
I considered the HTC Inspire but wanted to wait for the Infuse which seems to be getting great reviews.
I could probably sell the unlocked Iphone here in the USA for some decent money (they appear to be selling up above the $600 mark!!) and then use the proceeds to buy the Infuse off contract and still have some change so that when the Galaxy S2 comes out I could even sell the Infuse and upgrade to the GS2.
Does my logic make sense?
Any other suggestions?

I basically did the same thing except I had my iPhone for about a year before I sold it so it was fairly used. It was a 16GB black iPhone in fair condition and I jailbroke it before I sold it. I got $380 but I know some people who have gotten up to $450, just depends on the day.
I bought the Infuse off-contract from Amazon Wireless for $580, so it bascially cost me $200. But I'm really happy that when my contract ends next year I can either get off AT&T or sell my Infuse and upgrade to whatever the newest dual-core phone is.

I bought mine with 100 off for early upgrade. Trade in another phone, or sell for a little more and that brings it down more.

Your logic is great, except let me give you some info on what my situation was as it was very similar:
If you're in a good CraigsList city, which I see you're in SoCal... I'm in the bay area. Where there's a big Craigslist community like in CA, you can get pretty good deals on Infuse brand new. I bought several for $375-425 (started buying one for me and my friends wanted a couple so I ended up buying 4 total, haha).
I too came from iPhone 4. I had 2 unlocked iPhone 4s from the UK. The demand in the US for these is absolutely unbelievable. One I sold for $1100 2 weeks ago, and the other I sold for $1050 yesterday. Both sold on eBay. Keep in mind they were both less than 6 months old (one was a 6 week old white version, hence the higher price)... but there's a huge market out there for factory unlocked models. When the iPhone 4 came out, I flew to London, bought 4 and kept 2, sold the other 2 for $2000 each, so it paid off all four ... they're not cheap over there (about $920 USD), which is why they fetch so much resale.
I first tried the Inspire 4G. It's a good phone, but the killer for me was the battery, which to be blunt, sucked. I sold it and got the Infuse. I've only had the infuse for a week now, but the battery is much better than the Inspire 4G, and the overall performance is great. I did like the metalic build of the HTC, but I suppose I can't have it all, and the battery on the inspire was just a total deal killer.
Welcome to CA... hope my info helps Best of luck to you.

Many thanks for the replies.
Bella, thanks for the welcome, I am in SD.
I checked Craiglist here no Infuse adverts but there are quite a few on Ebay.
Another option would be to just pay the $199 to ATT for the Infuse and renew for another 2 years. Its part of a family plan so its unlikely we will change anytime soon.
I will put the Iphone which I think will be brand new in its sealed box, on Ebay. I assume when you sold yours on Ebay you did not allow for any returns?

Yeah SD is harder for CL because it's not that huge of a town. I used to live there.
The average price on Ebay for brand new infuse is at about $505... don't buy unlocked because it's a simple script to get your unlock code so you're paying for something that's free, hehe.
Regarding your iPhone.... yeah ebay on both mine. If you start them at $0.99 there's no insertion fee (hehehe, insertion fee, lol)... and it'll sell quick. They rape you on the final value fee, but it is what it is. I've been selling on eBay for years, and I never have offered returns (most ebay sellers don't)... it just turns you into a rental office if you offer people to try something then return it. lol

Thanks for the advise. I will hopefully the Iphone 4 in hand early next week.
I will then decide what route to take.

Hi Bella,
I just sent you a PM requesting some advice.
Thanks

I recently switched over from the Galaxy S i9000 which was a great phone, but this phone is just that much better. The Infuse phone feels smoother than my i9000 ever did with any custom rom or overclocked kernel, and to think we don't even have voodoo or any OC kernels on this device yet. It is definitely worth it. I upgraded my phone on the costco website for $129 which was a steal for this phone, best buy has the upgrade for 149.99. Glad i bought it, the screen is AMAZING.

I did an exception upgrade and paid $299, they added $100 for the early upgrade since it was less than six months out.

How much does the Captivate go for?

Whats the average price that a Captivate goes for? I've seen some on ebay going for like 300 which is no way in hell close to the real price...
So what do you guys think its going for?

I have sold bnib for less than 250 shipped
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777

Looking on Craigs list, looks like about $100-175, depending on condition. Non working goes for about $50 +/-

Good condition ones go for about 150. Recently got 2 for my friends (1st was 125 and other was 140).
I bought mine sometime back when it was about 175+ for good conditioned ones.

I paid $120 for a mint unlocked i897 from craigslist. It included the box and accessories.

How much for my skyrocket

if i sold it here on xda on the marketplace do you think 400 is a fair price?
need some opinions especially if you have sold phones on here before. If you dont think thats a good price what would your opinion be?
Ive had it since release day the thing is in amazing shape maybe a few light light scratches on the battery cover if you look hard but nothing besides that.
It comes with:
the really nice screen protector from the mall i think its invisible shield
otterbox commuter case
GSP case
32GB sdcard
Galaxy nexus extended battery
stock battery
original box with all manuals and unused headphones
official samsung hml to hdmi cable
kinda want an s3 so might sell it if i can get a good chunk of change lol

Sell it for higher. The phone itself should be about $350. SD Card is $60 if it's Class 10. Invisibleshield is $30. And the other things, I don't know.

Can buy it NIB on Amazon for $350, I wouldn't pay more than about $200 for a used one.
Accessories might entice someone to buy but don't add much to the overall value.

RE: Price
You can get used ones on eBay for $300 so with your accessories id say a fair price is more like $350

yeah 300 for the used. Might sell it for 330-350 if its in really good condition. I personally dont care about extra accessories.They just simply dont add any value to your phone. At least when sell people seems like yeahh whatever i just need the phone.

People on ebay are nuts, they regularly bid up used items and pay more than what they can buy new.

$250

I'd say between $250 and $300 depending on the condition, scratches, nicks etc.
I agree, accessories have no value on used items.
Why are you selling this awesome phone?

I had put mine as "feeler" for 340$ including the US only shipping charges and insurance .. Had to deal with few tire kickers in the market place section here on xda ... Then I deleted my post and what I can see is that I would be for sure a complete dump if I sell this awsome phone for 200$ or 250$ ... Never worths it..

Yeah thats always the case. Once you buy a phone a new one comes out and brings down the value.
Overall the i727 is still a good phone and not worth selling for $250. I would have sold mine for $400 if i could and bought the S3.

im currently selling my skyrocket on craigslist for $320. saw a couple of ads the prices range from 400 for unused and 300 to 350 for used. Some of them have scratches and about 6 to 5 month old. My phone is about one a half month old with 0 scratches . So far its kinda going slow I bet if I'll lower a price below 300 thing would go smoothly. Let's see... I once managed to sell used Kindle fire for 180 !!! who knows crazy people out there.

I got my skyrocket off of Craigs list for 300 and it came with box and usb and charger plus it also came unlocked and its in mint condition just a small Nick on the bottom left can't even tell its there so I'd say 300 to 340 maybe 350 if it Comes with all thoes accessories I would pay like 340 or 350

Selling a skyrocket
I live in a small town in the middle of nowhere, but I hopped on Craigslist instead of going with a traditional online sale, and I got $350 out of my skyrocket with very minimal scuffs on the battery cover, a defender otter box, an invisible shield and the charger. Depending on where you are, you may consider that, I'd imagine a bigger town might turn a little better profit than the rednecks I live around. :good:

I call bs on the fact that accessories dont matter mine would come with 48gbs compared to 16... I took the case off and the phone is actally flawless no scratches I posted it in the for sale section:

I think anything over three for used is too much

You're asking way more than what they go for new, guess the market will prove out what's a fair price.
