You can browse the Marketplace section of this forum. There are many devices for sale.
Also you can check eBay, and if you want to do business locally then Craigslist is an option.

Swappa.com is a good website to purchase used phones. It is safer to buy on there than ebay, because the swappa staff actively works to prevent scams. As for prices, I use the price on Amazon as the market price. I think it's more official than ebay.
As for looking in the xda marketplace, you gotta have at least 50 posts and be a member for a year to access it.

AVForums is quite good. Normally, it's cheaper than eBay and it's similar to the marketplace here but new members can access it.

Thank you and
But what do you think that there is a one source which gives you the all price information across the web?

I think there are a few but it is often better to search websites individually. The search engines normally miss sales and you will find a cheaper price by searching the main sites listed above. Apart from the ones above, you could use Gumtree.com...

Most of the sellers are in the UK but many are willing to post overseas if you pay for the posting costs.

Cheapest Price?

What is the cheapest price people have found the touch pro?
theres no cheapest price, theres only cheaper price, which you will need to go hunt down on your own if other found it, im sure you could too
Simply stunning. That is the most useless response and unnecessary response ever.
In the world of buying non-U.S. based phones over the internet there are plenty of trustworthy websites and plenty of non-trustworthy web sites. To ask the question of where the cheapest price that has been found is, in no way, out of order for this forum.
If you have nothing to add to a thread, save us the trouble of having to read your inane responses. Upping your post count is not worth bugging the rest of us.
On a side note, I haven't been able to find the U.S. version yet. It is supposed to be released but I cannot find it. Does anybody here live in America and have you found a US version?
supposedly the fuze from att is released, probably need to wait for a bit before any mass stock on ebay or att itself
Thank you theclueless. I will search for fuze for further information.

well, actually...your question was a little vague.
There are too many variables to consider which is why it was proposed that you go have a hunt yourself.
you didn't say if you wanted a contract or SIM free for starters...that could give you a £3-400 price difference...
new or used could also save yourself some cash.

The site is reliable, but don't expect much quality (screen, construction, materials) or development options on Chinese phones (most of it will have to be made by yourself).
Look up on internet if there is a developers community for the specific model, but if this doesn't bother you, you like the features of the phone, and it's a good option for you (price), buy it.
Greetings,
I usually buy from Amazon, be careful with eBay there are some fake electronics there with poor quality, especially in terms od cheap chargers and phones.
Buyincoins.Com (china) is reliable in terms of delivery and payment. Also, free shipping and they know to mark stuff as a gift to avoid import costs.
Actually, about 70% of the stuff from DealExtreme (dx.com) comes from buyincoins. (it literally said so on both the packages I got from dx, but they charged me twice what buyincoins asked and took 6 weeks longer to get here.)
Just don't expect the pictures on the immitation products (like a nameless ipod) to be accurate.

[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....

[CLOSED][Q] Best website to sell phone online in India?

Hi,
I'm thinking about selling my smartphone online and wasn't sure which
website would give the best value and is also authentic.
Please note that I'm more interested in companies that directly buy your phones
and not individual bidders like ebay or olx.
Some such websites I've come across are:
http://www.atterobay.com
https://budli.in
http://www.karmarecycling.in
http://www.reglobe.in/
Can you tell me if you've had any experience with these websites
or if there's some other good site to sell your phones in India?
Thanks
eBay.in is good to sell smart phone
Thanks but like I said, I'm looking for non-ebay type websites
or companies that buy your phone directly.

[Q] Where to buy?

Hello guys, I'm new one in these forums and I would like to ask you guys if you know any trustworthy site where I can buy the oneplus one in the lowest cost(of course the original one). I found it on geekbuying for 340 $ (I would prefer it in €) but I don't know anything about his site or any other site of its kind so please if you know anything about this, reply to my question <3
Ps looking for the 16gb version or 64gb only if it's under 300€

Whether OnePlus ship directly to Greece doesn't really matter, you can use a freight forwarding service like Shipito to get it there.

There are so many invites around at the moment, why not simply go through the normal way and purchase it direct from OPO?
