Best Place to Purchase a "Non Upgrade" TBolt?

Hello everyone! I am trying to purchase a new Tbolt for my GF. She is still on contract for her Droid X - where is the best place to go for a cheap but good TBolt? I fear eBay, although maybe I shouldn't? Other suggestions:?

eBay, Craigslist, on here, other forums, etc.
Just be sure to check the IMEI and make sure its not a bad one. And obviously you'll need a new SIM card.

Why do you fear eBay? There is nothing to be scared of, it's not the shady sketchy eBay of 10 years ago. There is protection for your purchase from eBay & PayPal, no need to fear. Look on eBay, try to find an auction for a TB that ends late in the night. Most times, the later at night/earlier in the morning it ends, the cheaper the product usually goes for.

I got mine on ebay and the guy lived right by me, turns out he was a verizon store manager and had all the accessories, new sim card etc. Got the tbolt, windshield mount, 2 cases, extended battery and more for like $400, picked it up next morning!

I've sold two phones on swappa now, and I would recommend it. It's super easy, and they check the MEID when the seller posts the phone so you know it's clean.

Ebay is fine for the buyer always. It's when your selling that its a hassle. Non paying buyers and huge waiting periods before you get a credit. Lots of wasted time selling on ebay. Buying is painless thanks to PayPal.

Best place to purchase in US?

I'm looking to get a 3G P6800 and was wondering where others in the US purchased from?
Looks like NegriElctronics has them for $512 but I've never dealt with them before.
Thanks!

I, like a few members here, got it from them. Very reputable and fast shipping (at least in my case). They will be my go to retailer for future unlocked devices.

I have purchased products from On The Go Solutions for a number of years and they have been helpful. Not sure they are the cheapest but you get what you pay for and they work hard to deliver. they produced a second P6800 for me and the second had a 32 gb internal memory.

Got mine off of a 3rd party reseller on amazon and didn't get as good of a deal as that. Wish I had known about them. Oh well, still loving the 6800.

Im from germany ..... and got my p6800 from negri within 2 day express shipping!!!!
negri accept also amazon payment so for me it is also a save shop.
the service is fast ... you can instant communicate over the web!!!!
i hope this helps you

Darn cheap qi charger! But be aware!

Hey everyone!
Wanted to show you this:
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Wireless-Charger-QI-TX01/705466062.html
I'm very very unsure if this seller is legit or what's the problem with the product. Because it can't be that cheap.
Anyway I did order two of them anyway . (With a secure card btw)
And will give you a input if (and thats a big "if")and when I get them.
Sincerely

lol 20 dollars would be cheap, $1.50 shipped from Guangdong is damn sketchy.

i would not even touch that. i dont even feel safe giving them my payment information

Thought it would be fun to show you this. Yeah, I think it's scetchy as well.
But I have a really safe payment option from my bank and I did really make a order on two of these. Most to see if it comes and if it comes to see what it really is. I can spend that 1.5$ to have a look.
I have ordered this as well:

[Q] goophoneshop.com; safe seller?

Hello; i'm serriously considering selling my current motorola razr hd, and buying a new phone from goophoneshop.com. I can't find any info on this website, and due to chinese websites having a somewhat flakey reputation, i'm a little concerned. Has anyone bought a phone from this website.
Edit:
I've found another website with the phone i'm after.
http://www.dhgate.com
Does anyone have any experience with this website? I'm particulary concerned with this one, because paypal is not an option.

As I told to another user I suggest to buy from etotalk. It's really fast and serious and you can pay with PayPal. I bought a vivo Xplay and everything went good.

Unfortunatly etotalk does not have the phone i'm after. After observation, i've noticed the phone i was considering on dhgate, is not infact the phone i'm after; but instead a fake, and it doesn't have the one i want either.
I've decided i will buy from goophoneshop.com because they have paypal, and i will report back if they're any good.

The devices there are also clones.

I once wanted to use dhgate to buy some ton of case and sell them locally had a bit of research seemed pretty legit if you ask me and some other reviews approved aswell...
Its kinda the chinese version of ebay..

[Q] price £ or $???

hi folks
am after a little help please. i am looking to buy the 64gb version of this phone if i can get an invite. but that is NOT what this thread is about. Im a little confused over the pricing structure and was hoping some folks could explain it to me and maybe say what they did?
Ok so i looked here http://oneplus.net/one and the price shows as $349 which converts to about £215. great that looks like an awesome price for this spec. Im sold and now i want one.
However, this morning whilst doing my usual reading and searching i happened upon this http://oneplus.net/uk/one which shows the price as £269?!?! Ok so now i am confused. there appears no difference between the phones linked and they are both apparently from the same official source. SO why the huge price difference??? Could i not just buy from the first link and save 20% or would they not ship the phone to england if i buy from that page, or worst still would i get hit with huge custom charges? If it just means the shipping takes longer than the price would justify the wait.
Sorry for the questions but im really on the edge about buying this phone and for £215 im sold but at £269 well thats a different sale i need to make to the missus lol.
Thanks for looking and for any help advice you can offer,

Its because of tax reasons, haven't you noticed that tech is expensive in the UK?
The US is generally the cheapest place to get tech.

So do you think I'd be able to buy it from the first link and pay the same price as they do in the u.s.? Tyia

Price in UK is £269. Including VAT. If you buy in USD, I think you'd have to have it delivered to the US. £269 is still a fantastic price though...

Cant argue with you that its a fantastic price. but id managed to convince the other half when it was £215 but boy does she love to disagree with me :crying:
SO i presume then if i order it through the usd link they either wont send it or will simply add the tax on at customs or something?
Cheers for the replies folks.

Divide any price you see up there by 6.13 to see the final price.

So is there no one here from the uk that has brought this phone?

Of course there is they just have not seen your thread. Honestly the price is still great regardless and the trickery you are trying to achieve is not worth it. Go ahead and pull the trigger

helpful? How could it be?
My question was why are there two different prices listed for this phone one in gbp and one in dollars. And can i or anyone in the uk purchase the phone and pay in dollars? If its possible would anyone here know if we would have to pay customs duty?
With that restated you have attempted to derail my thread by making it about using the search function.
The first is a link to a comment from opo saying this phone can be purchased in the uk.
Your second link is an off topic thread for folks in the uk. Both not even from xda
The third link is about using the phone on threes network.
The fourth link is about someone asking where the phone can be purchased and appears to end with folks talking about selling/buying on gumtree.
The fifth is about someone asking about how long their order may be in the delivery process.
Would you care to elaborate how that in anyway shape or form answers my question? Or can you answer my question? Or would your searching powers be able to show me the link to that answer?
If not i dont really get what you hoped to achieve with your two posts. And would humbly ask you to please reply no further.
I have just had to waste 5 minutes of my life to respond to your comments which im never gonna get back. If you dont like/agree or have any useful info to provide to a topic please just ignore it!
Apologies to anyone else that has had to read these comments they are pointless and achieve nothing. They will also undoutedly prevent me from getting an answer to my original question.

They are UK related links with individuals from your area that would be better equipped to ask your question.. This is why I posted it but derailing was not my intention. I felt my info was helpful if you did not then OK....

then fair play and i thank you for your help.

ok guys just in case anyone else comes across this issue i think i know the coup now.
I went online to order the phone via an invite i was kindly given by a member here. It automatically took me to the price in us dollars so i went through the order process and when i tried to pay via paypal. It said i was in the wrong store and it forced me to the uk store and to then pay in gbp. So it did indeed ultimately cost me the extra 20%. I know i could have got it sent to a pal of mine in america but i didn't.
Hope this clarifies the situation for anyone else wondering.

It also applies for €.

Its pretty clear the oneplus/UK site 269 pretty simple? In us its 349 something like that. There's a difference in price because of different vat etc.
I bought a one plus one I'm in UK I managed to understand....
