Fair trade? - General Questions and Answers

About one month ago I bought the HTC one s from bell for $100 on a new 3 year contract. This was a big mistake as I should have waited for the SG3. I am thinking about trading my one s on a site to try and get the SG3. Would trading my one s with an otter box case + $100 for a used SG3 be a fair trade? Is that too little or too much? My one a is not perfect. There is one nick in the metal on the top. Also is there a specific SG3 that I would need to work on the bell network.
Thanks.

This seems like a very good deal if the GS3 is near mint. When I was looking for my GS3 I was offering my near mint white nexus + $150 cash

Who is it a really good deal for? I'm assuming for the guy with the GS3. The thing is unfortunately my phone isn't mint. There is one large nick at the top, and a bunch of really small ones around the micro USB port. How long did it take for someone to accept your deal?

Help me decide.

OK I have my sensation the phone have been replaced 3 times from HTC ( dust under screen) then I broke the screen and I pay $99 to fix it .
Now I broke it again my question is
1-fix it ( again)
2- buy a mi-one ( $500 )
3- move to sprint and grab a iPhone 4GS
I love the sansation but to many flaws at least to me;
And don't like any current T-Mobile USA phones.

it's your call. Apple is known for the good QA and you also pay for that with your money on the phone. You can also get insurance for your phone, which in about 2 years add to around $200 and it might even cover it if you were at fault. Stuff like breaking the screen is actually your fault so i don't think any good QA can fix that .
You also have another option: craiglist.->$300
I know I meant paying again to fix it other $99 .
And buying another sensation on craigslist its more like asking for more trouble

If you are willing to spend $500 bux on a mi one, why not just go GNex? Not your style?
I guess iPhone would be the way to go I guess.

[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.
Here is what I have:
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.

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".

Some people have had luck with amazon.
Luck of the draw.
I just bought three of them online on the at&t website... All three was refurbished though but still had 1.85

I dropped the damn thing and broke. I've got insurance through my credit card but I refuse to go back to an unrooted phone.
Sooo, short of living with the crack, I believe I have 3 options,
1. Find a rootable replacement to buy
2. Repair the screen myself
3. Buy a SGS3
#1 would be the cheapest for me, the easiest, and would be my first choice.... I just need to find one. Unfortunately, the way the insurance works, I cant buy a used one.
Thanks,
Billy

Buy a new one from wherever and transplant the new phone's screen into your old phone if it happens to be one with the newer firmware... The One X is extremely easy to take apart.
I got mine from Costco early Oct FWIW. They must have some old stock or something

How much should I ask for my inspire 4g?

I upgraded to a Samsung galaxy Sii, and now I want to sell my inspire. It has a cracked screen, but its only the top corner. It also has an otter box case, charger case, and another tpu case. What could I realistically get for it?

I bought mine for 80 bucks but if you try to sell it to gazelle they'll try to tell you 25 and that's for a better condition phone...just keep the inspire, its not really a bad phone just a little outdated

Check how much they are sold on ebay and amazon, compare to your local dealers and sell it accordingly.

It should not really. The phone is over two years old, single core processor, and officially no support past GB. ICS has been out for some time and now JB is out on its second iteration already (4.1 then 4.2). All of this drives prices way down. This is simply the way technology depreciates. The same thing happens with laptops and desktops...regardless of how clean it is.
I would base my asking price off what they are going for on ebay.

Anyone else feel the price of Galaxy S4 has held up very well?

I always buy my phones from eBay and last year when the S3 came out the price of brand new S3 locked to AT&T was around $535-550. But this year the S4 prices have incredibly held up very well... well over $600. I can't remember the last time a branded Galaxy S line commanded such price.
Bought mine for 700$ shipped on release day off EBay...best purchase I've made this year!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda premium
On contract doesnt make a difference for me. Bought mine for $81
I think the GS4 is selling for a higher price off contract compared to what the GS3 costed when it was released. I don't remember the GS3 costing $650 at launch. I bought my GS3 for $475 brand new off ebay a month after launch.

Wow you lucky guy!
I paid exactly 0.00$ for my S4. Technically I was given 8$ to buy it.
I traded in my wife's iPhone 4S. Best buy gave me 220$ for it and the S4 on contract was 212$. So I gave my iPhone 5 to my wife, and walked out of Best Buy with a brand new Galaxy S4 and an 8$ gift card lol
Couldn't be happier and I LOOOOVE the S4!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda premium
Did about the same thing, ditched my HTC One X at Best Buy and paid $87 for the S4 and a case on launch day. Thing has been a beast ever since.

That screams of a future IMEI lock. I'm happy to sell on CL but I've been burned lately with working phones that suddenly come up IMEI locked 2 months later for issues AT&T or T-Mobile can't seem to tell me about.
if only the price held up as well as the iPhone, Just sold my iPhone 5 for 475, not as much as I thought, but then again bought my 5 in sep

No, I traded in a 16GB, but Best Buy's trade in program has always been great. Newer phones tend to be under what you could potentially get selling it (they wanted to give me 350$ for my factory unlocked and jailbroken i5 when I could sell it for 500$ on eBay) but other phones were definitely higher, like the 4S.
I always try Best Buy first because they usually give the most.

They can still lock it. It's a nationwide database that all the carriers use.
Doesn't matter, if it's locked on AT&T or T-Mo it's locked on any prepaid carrier using the same network.
Just a FYI.
