Selling Captivate

I know some of you have either sold or thought about selling your phones just wanted to know how much you have been offered or how much you would ask to sell on Craigslist. Phone is in very good condition no scratches or anything anywhere. Cause I'm thinking about selling it to get the Inspire 4G

a guy on here sold his carbon fiber skin wrapped captivate on ebay for well over 200 bucks, unlocked, rooted and romed!

Hmm. I would be good selling it for 200 bucks. Thanks.

I paid $300 for my captivate a couple months ago. It came with a 32gb sd card and an extra battery.

I would just sell mine with the soft case, 16GB card and rooted/unrooted, stock/custom ROM however the person would want hopefully I can get at least 200

whatever you do you want it UNLOCKED to any carrier. its the first thing most people will look for if they arent one of us...

They have been selling ~250$ shipped.

The problem would still be finding an Inspire for a good price...

I think it retails for $400? Could be wrong though. Just kick out the extra 200

If you want to sell your phones, you should try Marketplace.

Is there fine print?

What's stopping me from adding 2 lines to my plan, getting 2 skyrockets or iphones for next to nothing, then selling them for $280 each, then buying out the contact on the 2 new lines, and pocketing $160? Am I missing some fine print?

I don't think your missing anything. Its just a lot of work for only 160 bucks.

What? How?

Not really, I pay $9.99 for a skyrocket, someone gives me $280, I ship them the skyrocket, I pay $200 fee to buy-out the line I added, I pocket $80. Could do it with any phone that has a good deal going on.

Seriously? This is the worst idea ever. I know you need the money, but this is not the way to do it.
Like someone said, it's going to cost you $722 plus tax just to get them both off contract. You won't make a profit, period. That's even if you go for the iPhones because no one's going to buy a 3GS when it's about to be unsupported starting TODAY in like a few hours time. The iPhone 4 8GB is not worth it either when you can get the 16GB for the same price.
When people look to buy phones, they don't want them at retail prices, which is what you would have to do in order to make a profit.

Actually latest report I read said 3GS actually showed up on the leaked iOS6 file links.
*confirmed now
Seriously wish Android makers would steal this aspect from Apple. One of the biggest downsides to Android is most of the phones lose official support in 10-16 months. Apple is still updating 3GS after 3 years.

[Q] What is My NS worth?

Hi all,
I am contemplating putting my NS up for sale. Not sure what I can sell it for though. Ebay is all over the map.

Unlocked Rooted ATT version I9020A, black color
Wall plug wire
Limited Edition back cover, real not knockoff.
Samsung windshield holder with 3' cigarette lighter wire
Samsung desktop with USB/wall plug wire.
Amzer soft cover
This is the NS that I list on my sig.
What should I ask for this package, and what should I settle on?
Thanks

If even $200. Sorry to tell you, but with the Galaxy Nexus out, the Nexus S isn't really the hottest stuff on the block.

Thanks all,

In Greece is still at the stores. You can buy ona 9023 (slcd) with 200 euros.
So i guess that a used 9020 (amoled) could be sold at 140 euros...
Sent from my Nexus S using xda app-developers app

Koodo Mobile used to sell a NEW Nexus S (before it was discontinued) at $300, and their One V is currently selling for $175 outright.
With that in mind, even $200 is a little much. Maybe $150?

Hey just to be sure I didn't get screwed over.
Was my i9023 worth 260€ back in December? Do prices really drop so quickly?
I searched quite some time to find the cheapest one. It was also new and not used by someone else.

Cosmetic condition will influence the resale price. If you have a perfect screen with no scratches, and no scratches on the body, it should go for more. I wouldn't sell it for less than $150-$170, in decent condition, especially with the accessories/cover. Throw it on CL for $200, take some nice pics, write a thrilling ad, and see what happens.
... or keep it and use it as a dedicated "ipod/ipod touch".

Keep it and use it as a developers phone for porting roms

Yeah its pretty crazy how much our phones have dropped in price. I would say about 6 months ago when ICS came out they were easily selling on Craigslist for $300. Now people are lucky to sell em for $150-200. I wonder if we'll see an increase in price again when JB officially comes. People tend to want the "new thing".

Make a separate thread dude...

Considering selling. Pricing input needed.

Im really wanting a nexus, in order to get it I would need to sell my g2x. I was curious as to thoughts on pricing.
This phone has not had the reboot issues others have had. It has a slight scratch on the screen, but its only noticeable in direct sunlight. The bezel has a few dings in it. To be honest, its a great dependable phone that I hate to sell, but I want something that's better supported.
Any input on a price to sell it would be great.
Thanks.

if you can get 200 for it id say its a good sell... ive seen them on craigslist for as low as 150 but if you can get 200 id say you made out alright... at least you got out of what you invested in it

For a sale on XDA I'd start with $175.

I'm interested as well as pricing, I'm in Phoenix, AZ so the craigslist market is pretty good, and full of kids itching tto spend money. Mine is like the Guy's report stating no reboots and minor wear and tear. I'm putting mine up for 175$ cause people are going to low ball anyways. I'll be pretty happy with 150$ though, anything more is kinda hoping for too much.

I haven't gotten a phone on contract since the sidekick. So unfortunately I paid a bit more than 200. I hate being locked into overpriced plans. Prepaid is the way to go.
I was hoping between this and the g2 I have I would be able to get a nexus without adding any out of pocket money.. unemployment sucks, but I gotta feed my phone addiction. Lol.. looking like I might have to throw in some cash tho.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

I tried selling my phone with case for $200 and then dropped it to190 but didn't get any hits. You'll definitely want to go lower (maybe $175 is a sweet spot for some people).

I tried putting my perfect condition G2x on craigslist for $200 with 3 cases, 2 extra batteries, and a 16 GB Micro SD, and I got lowballed like crazy. Most offers I got were around the $125 range (one guy even offered $90! ) I eventually got somebody to buy it for the $200, but it took a couple days.

Mint g2x should go for ~200$
Good condition ~150$
That's with minimal or no accessories, don't let those lowballs get you down

Sell on Ebay and start the bid at $1. You'll be surprised how quickly the bids come in.
Sold a bb tourch for $175 on there. And my old MT3G for about $140.

Ebay insertion fee (for items that start auction at $0.01–$0.99) = $0.10
Ebay Value Fee (This is ebay's fee after you sell the item) = 9% of the total value
Paypal fee = 2.9% + $0.30 PER TRANSACTION
Not to bad, I mean, I prefer this route instead of dealing with it privately when its for stuff like this of course.

I got $265 for mine but sold to a buddy of mine with a bunch of extra 2 extended batteries and one stock battery. one naked shield and case and charger.

Sweetspot would be 230-250 euro if its in mint condition anything over that would be a hit and miss might take too long to sell, but depends on your location and where you will advertise it.

Thanks for the info guys

I'll give you $40 Tax free! :laugh: (that was a joke)
Looks like you'll get no more than $200 US for it if your lucky.
There is one on ebay right now with only a day left going for $10.
But if you want to sell.. Don't wait longer, they are not going to go up in price.
Good luck!
