I was hoping to get closer to $200 or lower.

I am going to keep mine. Sorry I can't go that low.

I might have a deal for you. Give me a day to think it over though.

The only gtab that was sold for under $200 on this forum had a cracked glass.

I think the retail stores are still $300+ tax so $200 is a little cheap. I can't see it going that cheap until way down the road. Even $300 since the eee pad is going to be $400 (if you can find one) is not unreasonable.
I have a sealed in the box I'd let go. $310 and I'd be happy, which is a few bucks less than retail at least.

I have one that I want to sell. It has the original OS so you can tweak yourself.
Asking price is $275.00

For sure you would be happy, but I highly doubt the buyer would be.
$310 right now is as unreasonable as these sub $200 requests, mainly because you can get one brand new in box with full 12 months manufacturer warranty shipped to your door for $275 all in from amazon.
Buy with any major credit card and you get another 12 months of warranty on top (for the same $275 all in).
That said, even at more common $300 (all in current gtab retail price), the extra $100 for a BNIB transformer is well justified (IMHO) given the IPS screen, native HC, built in GPS and docking ability.
To be fair, $250 with some accessories seems to be the norm on this board, which makes sense given that any of the accessories I have seen offered would have cost at least another $30~$50 (cases, docking station or skinomi's)
Would this get even lower ? hell yes, but not now, just wait till the transformer has enough stock for them to start sales.
As some has pointed before, your best chance at getting the maximum possible offer is a private sale to an unsuspecting neighbor via CL or Kijiji.
Best of luck any way ..

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.

[Q] What's my phone worth?

Im not listing this phone for sale, well not on here anyways, but I am wondering what the sgs4g is actually worth used.
Im a long ways away from upgrade eligibility and I really want a sgs2, so im thinking I have two sgs4g's, i could sell them both and probably get the sgs2 for less out of my pocket than the upgrade price, maybe
but ive searched craigslist and ebay just to explore the idea and see what they are selling for but from what ive seen prices are all over the board (150-250 and yes thats for used)....well who better to ask than a community full of developers
they are both rooted, sim unlocked, and in pretty darn good condition...one phone only has rub marks on battery cover from sliding around on hard surfaces, and the other has the same as well as a couple tiny dings on the edges....no screen flaws whatsoever
so what do you think is a reasonable price to ask for if i do decide to sell them?
EDIT: I checked on the tmobile trade in info and theyre trade in value for my phone was 95

About 200 or so

150 to 200 hundred.
Give it a week and that price will go down.

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
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2

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.

Ugh. Best Buy

So Thursday I went up to best buy to get me an ATT S4. I have the s3 and had an upgrade available and best buy has the trade in program. Says that they'll give $250 for an s3 in good condition which mine is in. So I go thru the upgrade process, have the sim card put in my new beautiful s4, start updating my apps, set up, etc.
The best buy rep now says 'let me have your s3 and so i can do the credit.' He looks at it and there is a tiny, miniscule little chip on the cheap back battery cover, so small that you can barely see it. He then tells me that he can only take the phone trade in value of $112! My jaw dropped and I pleaded with him to no avail. He wouldn't budge. Frustrated, I told him to reverse the upgrade and to give me my s3 back and I left.
I went to amazon and ordered a replacement back cover and it will be here monday. Im gonna go back and hopefully upgrade to the s4 then.
Anyone else have an issue like that?

Next time, just sell it. I sold mine for 350$

In my opinion.
I refuse to go to Best Buy for anything. I've never seen a good deal there and their warranties and support is not good in my opinion. The only good thing about Best Buy is I make money off of fixing Geek Squad mistakes.
Yes I do walk in from time to time to see if anything has changed.

Yep.
Sold mine two weeks ago on Craigslist for the same.
It was only advertised for two hours when the buyer offered to meet me at the local Ikea parking lot that same day and buy it.

Selling first is a good idea except I don't have a backup phone to use until I get the new one. Ive never sold on craigslist before. Success stories? Tips?

I'm not surprised at all. Just sell it on CL.

You could always make arrangements to sell it the same day you could goto the store to get your new phone.. Or you could always just have them meet you at the nearest best buy or att or whoever your carrier is and do the sale right there and go in and buy your new phone..
Always meet in person and never ship it somewhere.. Most of the people you get wanting to pay you more than your asking price and want you to ship it are a scam.. Craigslist is more local deals.. You meet up check out the item and go.. Its not like eBay where people all over the world are looking at your item

I had a One X. Tried a few times to trade it for a S3 on online classifieds. I didn't want to add cash so I stuck it out with the One X. Got a renewal and picked up a Note II, gave the One X to my wife and sold her iPhone 4. When she was ready for an upgrade she wanted a Note II like me. We tried to sell her One X for $200, no bites after a week. It was in good shape, no scratches, no cracks, no water damage etc. I was going to sell it on eBay, but after shipping and fees it was going to net me like $160. Best Buy said they would give me $150 if I brought the charger. I couldn't find the charger so I brought an old Kodak charger that was micro USB. All they did was power it on, set it aside and gave me the $150. The guy said earlier that day he gave someone $275 for an S3. Just like at&t customer service, it's all the luck of the draw. If you go back I wouldn't be surprised if the next person doesn't even look the phone over.

I sold my note 2 for $350 on kijiji no problems. Look for people buying used smartphones instead of just putting your phone up. The guy who bought my phone ships them overseas to his uncles cell phone store. They refurbish and box the phone then sell it like new....

Hmmm. I should have thought about this when i went up there. I also have one of those flip covers. What are the chances i throw that thing on there instead of the regular back and they take it for the $250?

Might take not. I'm not 100% sure but they probably send the phones they buy to their centers for rapid exchange like they do with the busted phones they do exchanges on. MFG will give them credit for the phones.

lol AT&T gave my folks each $100 for their iPhone 3Gs, both with cables, labels, stickers, chargers etc. funny thing is they were beat/scratched to hell and back.

Hell, even at gazelle.com you sell it for $165

Once you get the new cover just sell it on swappa.com..you can use your xda login.
You can check out current pricing and it works great...and only $10 fee.
Don't do ebay..you pay 10% fee based on selling price.

On Amazon, about a week or two after I bought the S4 on launch I sold my i777 S2 for $199 and my S3 for $369. Best Buy's trade in program is pathetic. Its fairly easy to unlock Samsung devices. Do that before you sell them and you're guaranteed an increase in value.

Sheer evidence that Best Buy is an awful company.
I just got my S4 on ATT as well. I heard they started the trade in deal so I went to find the nearest store. Luckily it was a stand alone authorized dealer (not an actual ATT retail store) that I called ahead of time to make sure everything would run smoothly. They accepted my iPhone 4S even though the lock button was completely unusable. They were very nice and made sure I was comfortable with my new phone, they even called back a few days later to make sure the phone was still working properly.
Something that's NOT going to happen at Best Buy.
Good luck!
