Yes people do. I've actually wanted to get a second one for a while.
I am not amused by your phones performance

New ones in the box seem to go for around 300 on ebay still.

So i'll sell mine for $250 shipped. $475 for the pair. They are att&t. But also one of the easiest phones ever to unlock. I'm glad to do it for anyone that wants it done before shipping. At the moment they've never been out the box.

Would it matter? I'm also open to trade. I'll gladly give them both away for an sgs2

I bet you would. Sgs2 on Amazon goes for about $550+. You said you would let them go for $475/pair. Yeah, I can see why you would do that.

Anyone that buys from this guy is a compete fool. No offense buddy, just looking out for the members. There's a reason u need a certain amount of posts to list in the market place. Lots of people getting ripped lately. Sorry buyers beware

Not sure how to respond. Because your absolutely correct. No one has any reason to trust me what so ever. And theres no way to change that. But my options are this or ebay. They have lost tons of value as it is because of the length of time I've had them. I'm sure I could get 500 on ebay, but by the time I pay their fee and paypal s fee for the money transfer and the shipping cost I might have 425 left. If you've sold on ebay then u know. And we all know what they cost so the thought of selling a brand new galaxy s for $212.50 seemed crazy. Wasn't sure what to do. I dont need the money but they'll be worth nothing if I continue to hold on to them. Its ok if u dont trust me.

Ha. I didn't know. I'm sorry I came off wrong. I was just trying to get rid of a couple extra phones. I know nothing about "scamming". Can we just delete this post? Its went completely in the wrong direction. Maybe ebay was my best option. Irony was I never thought about selling them in the forum until I noticed the"marketplace"

Try Amazon.

Why not try Craigslist?

Just bought a second one for my wife. I'll keep these until the Galaxy Note has been out for a month or two. Loving that 5.3 inch SAMOLED. No reason to go to the SGS2 that I can see. It is awesome, but not that much better than the Captivate.

Sure there is. I havnt sold in a couple years(another reason why I shy away, so much has changed) but i remember paying an extra .25 just to have a pic posted during search. Extra charges if you use alotta pictures. And the charge just to post, and the extra if you sell your item. Things of that sort. My accounts havnt been activated in a while. I went back to paypal the other day just to update that accout. New bank and such. Because i bought a few accesories for the captivate I use now. If the person thats interested perhaps lives in southern VA or northern NC maybe we could meet. I live on the line midway (Halifax County, VA) Or if there is someone you really trust on the forum I could send the item to the first. And when they get it they can let you know. Then I could recieve my payment. Of course it would have to be someone of high standing. I would hate to get ripped off myself. Just know I'm not here to scam anyone. I could take pics of the items if it helps. At least you'd know I actually have them. Beside a printout of this post so you know i didnt just copy a picture from the web. I'm trying here guys. I'm an honest person. I dont care if I sell them now. I guess now I'm just trying to build a little trust.

Post edited - You must post for sale items in the marketplace.

Any Cyber Monday Deals on the Skyrocket?

If anyone spots a good deal on the Skyrocket for existing AT&T subscribers, please post it here. I really don't want to pay $250 (or $189) for a phone that has recently sold for as little as $50 last week. I can't believe I missed out on that!
Thanks.

Its always been $149 here in Houston...

Gotta call ATT and complain to try and get it.. theres a whole thread on here about it.

I just found this online. 50% off AT&T phones. The only problem I see is that it's for new customers or for adding a line. I want to upgrade. Maybe this will help someone else.
http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/deals/linkshare-savings.jsp?partner=LinkShare&siteId=dZCX6Je2w8Q-WRaOFJ0lq8WlNJBcMid1NQ

Last I checked (about last week), and also noted in a thread around here somewhere, Amazonwireless has it for $0.01 (a penny!) for new subscribers, and $200 for renewing.

It's currently $190 at Amazon. I know I can do better than that. It's "Cyber Monday" and all the sales look like crap compared to Black Friday.

Yup, I got three of them last week - Amazon billed my credit card $.03 (three cents). Now that was a hot deal.....

I give up! I spoke with my local AT&T store. I pleaded with an AT&T agent over the phone. I even tried to get the guys at Best Buy to match the 50% off, but I'm not adding a line. I'm just not going to get one until the price comes down. For the record, this is the worst Cyber Monday I've ever seen.

Instant rebates mostly and Sprint stores usually won't give as good a deal for accessories.

I had no problem with them when I pre-ordered my Evo 4G, picked it up on launch day with no fuss. I'm not a fan of BB in general, but the instant rebate and the early pre-order date won me over the first time. Why not again? Plus, if they're still offering the $50 trade-in credit for my Evo 4G, that's a lot of reasons to walk through their doors.

Doent this concern the LTE version of the phone?
So it is the One-xl
Different forum for that.
So moving now

I'm going to move this thread as its not concerned with the HTC One XL. If the admins choose a combined solution, then we can move these back here at a later date. There are enough hardware and software differences that I believe this phone will have its own fora.

Better insurance

I like to order from bestbuy mobile because their insurance, although $2 more then Sprint, theres no copay if u ef up the phone. $100 copay through sprints insurion service. Also they have the buyback program which 22months from now, you sell it back and have enough for the next upgrade.Plus I get the upgrade through my number, they switch to my number right away. SPRINT makes u wait 30 days.

Exactly.

I went to the link and it says to submit your email to be notified when it's available. So am I missing something? Cause if I can pre order today in store I may end up doing that. But sprint's site does say pre order and get it before others get a glimpse.

Any one looking for a brand new htc one x white?? Post moved

Wait so you don't want to pay a restocking fee yet you are hoping to get 530 for it.... you do know the restock fee is $35 right? You're losing money...........

Been around for 4 years and you make a thread like this? Wrong section for one and two no ebay links. Not buying the whole nephew story either. Not what I'd expect from an xda veteran.

Hit up Jcase if this is legit, hes looking to buy a phone, he stated that today in a different thread..

How old is it? 1st batch (1.73) or 2nd (1.85) batch?

He will be losing more than a little bit. After eBay, PayPal fees and shipping he will be losing about $120. Unless of course he is past his return widow then he has no choice but to sell it.

there is no restocking fee on an unopened item.......

What your nephew do?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

Don't have access to the Market board yet, but Im looking to trade my One X and an iPhone 4 for an S3, or sell them to buy the S3.

sorry been at work. att rep told me 15% restocking fee as did the manager. weather it is opened or not. sorry for placing this in the wrong place. yes this is legit. 15% of 594 $89 I would rather help a fellow here who wants one. then take it back to the store. figure i would sell it here. and not loose ( give att) about 90$.

My nephew did not graduate like he told me he was going to. so no phone for him. he can keep his moto razor flip phone. lol as far as batch, i dont know how do i check?

sorry man this is all true. not gonna return to att store, nephew let me down. paid full price 549$ plus tax.

ok so after reading the receipt... i had 30 days... june 6th was that date... so now i either stick with it or sell it. i was looking forward to a GS3. but maybe this phone will do.

Coming from a evo I must say the build quality on the hox has improved greatly.
The camera is fantastic, even my 7 year old can take some impressive shots.
Rooting/unlocking boot loader is a walk in the park with the AIO tools, Id say if your looking to upgrade anyways keep the hox and rub that phone in your nephews face every chance you get.

i like that. just every day have it sit there and as he does my yard work just use it for like pandora for my out door system... lol put very good use to it. thats funny

I posted in your marketplace thread. I'm interested

[Q] Where to Buy the Nexus 5? (USA)

Hello XDA,
I missed the small window of opportunity to purchase the nexus 5 from the play store (16 gb), and now it is almost a month out of stock. I am looking to buy the Nexus 5, but can't find a well-priced retailer. BestBuy andRadioshack (along with my carrier) tack on an extra $100 , which I really don't want to pay. Has anyone successfully purchased the nexus 5 from somewhere other than the Play store for less than $450? If so, is it still available from that location?
Thanks,
ccrama
(I am in the United States)

You may get better results if you edit your thread title to state which country you're looking to buy in.
