How much for my skyrocket - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

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.

I paid 175 bucks for my TB a few months ago. Got more than i paid for. as the reply above me says, the Charge is much more expensive and inferior. Motorolas are cheap, because they are cheaply made. Lower quality screens and since they arent unlocking their bootloaders on verizon, they are getting more money from verizon per handset, offsetting the cost.

Seriously? Do you have ANY evidence of Motorola having a financial incentive to lock bootloaders? Other than a "friend" who works at one of those companies?
I'm glad I have mine !

Motorola phones have the best build quality, the software is lacking but not the hardware. Every Motorola phone I have had has been built like a tank, including my old X which was extremely light but still a stronger, sturdier phone than anything out. If Motorola phones are cheaply made then all other phone companies could save money and build better phones by taking queues from MOTO.
Just saw this article today also, glad i only paid $150 for mine
As to the motorola comments, i find their phones to be very high quality and durable. If the Droid Bionic had been released before VZW discontinued their unlimited data plan to new smartphone customers, i would have bought one.
I didn't like the cheap feel of the samsung charge though...
If you buy your phones from Verizon retail it's probably one of the more expensive. But if you get them online from Amazon or wirefly you end up saving quite a bit. Ordered my TB on release day from Amazon Wireless for ~200 after taxes/S&H.
I know the Charge is 300 on Verizon's site but you can bring it down to 200 on Amazon. Was going to get my younger brother one but I think he wants to wait if the Bionic actually comes out on the 14th or not.
My thunderbolt was well worth the 250 price

I seriously doubt the iphone will have lte this year. Too much of a battery drain and inconsistent signal.
oh yeah, and I got my thunderbolt for 99 on amazon, free shipping, no taxes.

Agreed. My X was well built. HTC phones, not so much in my experience.
anything first of new tech is going to be expensive first time round

I can say this.. the TB is built pretty solid! I've dropped it a few times.. once on hard flooring.. though the battery came flying out.. not a ding or scratch on the device.
The gorilla glass is pretty solid.

Well damn, I haven't dropped my thunderbolt but its all scratched up. I dropped my X once and other than the tiny ding that put on the corner you wouldn't even be able to tell it had been used. I put my license and a credit card in the same pocket as my thunderbolt and when I pulled out the thunderbolt it had two nicks in the front silver bezel.
Yes sir, you are correct

When they say the tbolt is the most expensive phone, they are talking about the most expensive to MAKE, not to buy.
On another note, the charge being $300 is bs. It's mostly made out of plastic...

I agree that motorolas are tough phones, my droid 1 was a damn soldier. It fell out of my pocket while I was sitting on top of a 6-foot wall onto concrete with no case. The battery popped out and it dented in the corner on the bottom where it hit but it still worked great. In terms of overall build quality, I know I'll catch **** for this, but the iPhone 4 was just a dead f*cking sexy phone. My androids ran circles around it, backwards, but damn I loved the glass back and its screen was on top of the game for about a full year, which is forever in the smartphone world

I never said i ahve a "friend working at motorola". It's common sense. They are either using inferior hardware/manufacturing techniques, or getting better subsidy from verizon.

[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 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.

[Q] MyTouch 4G Value?

Looking for a little advice on the value of a brand new in the box MT4G Slide that I'm looking to sell. It's going up on either eBay or Craiglist but I have no idea what to ask for it. The eBay prices are all over the map. I can't return it or exchange it because I got it as a promotion.
(Got it for the wife. She played with it for 5 minutes and decided she's happier with her old standard non smartphone.....I don't know what to tell you. Some people are strange. )
Anyway...it's brand new. And I mean very brand new. The charger and USB cord are still wrapped in their little plastic bags new. SIM card is still attached to the plastic card it comes on new.
I'm pretty certain it doesn't have the 12/22 OTA update so it should still be able to be s-off'ed easily.
So first off what's it worth in the condition I have it in now?
And is it worth it for me to take s-off and unlock the SIM to increase it's value? (I'm fully capable of doing that. I just don't know if that might tend to turn the general public off as they might think that makes it harder to use or something...thus decreasing it's value.)
I sell stuff on eBay all the time but never sold a phone. So I'm not sure what makes it more valuable or less valuable to the average buyer. And is there a better place to sell phones than eBay / Craigslist?
Thanks for any help anyone has!
I know on CL in my area a new one by private owner is about 300-400. Really it is YMMV. Just put it up for what you feel you would like to get for it and if someone wants it and thinks the price is too high they will probably ask if you would take a lower amount.

I just bought mine off Ebay, in the same condition as yours and paid 285, but they were going as high as 350 to 400.

Just bought one from theXDA Market, paid $220. The seller unlocked it, had S-OFF and CWM installed. It was used, but barely, is a great device.
I'd suggest unlocking it, you'll get more.
Ebay is tricky, they'll charge you fees and if the seller pays through PP they can decide they don't like the phone and take their money back. I'd sell through here (XDA market or CL locally)

Brand new usually go for about 300-350
NIB off craigslist run about 285-300 in my area.
I got mine for 180 off craigs list.

i727 screen on E-Bay for $694.99!!!!!! OUCH!

So I broke my screen a while back and was pricing them when I ran across this page on E-Bay.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/AT-T-Samsun...-Screen-Assembly-/230715379939#ht_3312wt_1163
Are these people insane?!?! How in the world could they even begin to think they could price it at that? Sad part is, there are 2 different stores on there with the same price, $694.99. I don't get it. Luckily I found one for $169.99 on another site, so no big deal. But still, that kind of price tag just pissed me off! Ok, my venting is done.
Wow that's an insane price! It better not have any lines or blobs. lol For that price, you could get a Galaxy Nexus. It makes me wonder what these people think when they set a price like that...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA App
You can buy the whole dang phone on AT&T's website outright, no contract, with their no commitment pricing for only $549 ?!?!?!
Ebay is a scam and I've never found anything that went for less than what I could get it someplace else for. Search for the phone itself (on Ebay) and you can find it all day long for less than what these idiots are trying to sell replacement screens for, not to mention most site are selling this phone for mid $500's. The best thing to do is not buy from these people and put them out of business.
For what its worth, most of the time you can get this phone on Craigslist for $300 - $400...
So I contacted the company by chat to ask what the heck they were thinking. They replied back that when you see a price like that, it means they are out of stock, even though it says more than 10 available. Makes no business sense to me. "Hey, lets put a HUGE price on something we don't have, and then say we have 10!" Won't get any of my business. Why not just say "out of stock". Geez, what are people thinking these days?
Looking at their past sales history, it looks like they were selling the part for around $190, which is a lot more reasonable.
I guess the moral of the story is, if you're willing for pay $190 for just the screen why not just invest in the Mobile Insurance Plan... pay the $199 deductible and just get a new phone?
No way I would pay $199.00 deductible when you can get the screen for $169.00 elsewhere. Plus, it comes with the AT&T logo so for all they know my warranty will still be in tact. Ordering it tomorrow. The E-Bay price and circumstances just caught me way off guard.

You void your warranty once you take off the white security stickers that cover the screws you need to take off to replace the screen. The same stickers that turn either blue or red when they come in contact with water.

I have taken apart the device, and no such stickers need to be removed. I was a bit surprised as well. Yes, there is a litmus strip in there, but it does not need to be removed/tampered with. Unless you strip the screws during removal and or replacement, it would be almost impossible to tell anything had been touched.
Wow then I am surprised. They always cover the screws with stickers. Well on my blackberry there was always at least 2 covered. Well if thats the case then better for us.

Same thing with my old man Captivate too. (Galaxy S1) No stickers. Few screws and the thing popped right apart. Guess Samsung doesn't think too much about warranties in their final steps of build processes. Ohwell! Haha
