Does anyone still buy the captivate?

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.

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

Best Return Policy?

Who has the best return policy?
I thought I read somewhere where someone bought a TF700 and had 30 days to return it.
I am curious so that I have plenty of time to try this out and if I don't like it, I can return it.

With Amazon, not only you can return it in 30 days, they will send you the replacement before you have to send the original out. It's so convenient.

Best Buy's return policy is 30 days, dont throw out the box and dont take off the sticker near the dock connector with the serial number on it.

Sure, just ask for refund when you fill the online return form.

If you're a silver member at Best Buy, you get 60 day returns or exchanges.

Another vote for best buy since they are swapping my six month old prime for a TF700 at no cost to me.

Ok, just to be clear you just didn't walk in and demand to buy a new product and they refunded you a 6 month old product. I have no idea on how people do these things? Here in NJ you can't do ANYTHING like that. Every store has such strict rules about returns it is amazing. Most stores have policies if you OPEN up the product you can't return it. Only exchange it. I'm so surprised to read things like this. I even have had issues at Walmart one time trying to return something. For some reason the employees that work at these places act like it is their money.

They refunded it to a gift card. This is Best Buy company policy. They service every item they sell. If they don't carry that product they replace it. The exchange is the remedy for them not servicing the product.

Actually, best buy will take it back at any time that it's still under the manufacturers warranty. I just returned my Prime that I bought in december and got a store credit.

The key to that is as long as it is defective and not a serviceable SKU. Which the Prime is not serviceable, as in they can't send it off for repair.

Sad to say he was incorrect, it should have been covered under manufacturer's warranty. They should have prorated returned the ADH and let you rebuy it.

To add to my thread....Can anyone comment on Amazon's return policy?
I can either order from Amazon today for my TF700, or I can wait till this weekend and order through Best Buy online and skip sales tax because MO is doing a sales tax holiday weekend.
I am just curious as how easy Amazon's return policy is incase I get a defective unit.

Wow you got lucky. I dropped my galaxy tab 10.1 the other day. The screen cracked so bad it was starting to come off the sides, and the tablet wouldn't even turn on. I brought it back to best buy to get a credit since they don't sell that anymore. Best buy told me I had to send it in to get it fixed, and I won't get it back for 2-4 weeks. When I bought the warranty, however, they told me if the screen cracked I could come in and get an instant replacement since it's not worth fixing a tablet if the screen is cracked. I am now without a tablet for a month, and I had my hopes up to get the infinity. Never again am I buying a warranty from best buy.

Insurance advice - broken gs3_ Help please!

Hey guys less than 30 days ago I bought a GS3 from best buy on Verizon. Last night I dropped it and of course it bounced and fell down a 3 story stairwell and shattered the screen and broke. Since its been <30 days I should be able to get protection from best buy or Verizon (Asurion) or others, but I wanted to ask you guys for advice on what I should do and if there is anything I'm not thinking about. I really really don't want a refurbished phone but if it's my only option then I have no choice. If anyone has a recommendation on what insurance plan to get please let me know. Thank you in advance!

I would check to see which plan would cover the device faster. I may be wrong and probably am, but assurion used to have a 2 week window in which you could not make a claim from the date of insurance purchase. Not sure how it is now. Their reason for the two weeks was to make sure the device was working when coverage was purchased to cut down on folks buying broken devices then turning around and filing a claim. Hope this helps.

I used to work at best buy when I was in college. In order to put the protection plan on the phone after the date of purchase you have to have the device with you so they can make sure it isn't already broken. Unfortunately if you didn't get the protection plan when you bought the phone the best buy route won't work.

Good luck OP...I hope you plan on keeping the insurance after you purchase it.
Not sure if this borders on fraud...kind of like having a house fire while on the phone with the insurance company trying to add coverage

Whos getting insurance on there New s4?

http://www.squaretrade.com/
Are u getting insurance for your new S4?
I know some people think its a waste and some people live by it! Well i have squaretrade on my nexus 7 and im getting it for my s4 to. I like knowing that if i brick it or whatever that im protected. Some people will say dont brick it or whatever, lol!
So are u getting insurance on it through tmobil or whatever plan u choose??

Yes, I am. I went 1 year squaretrade with my S3 for a great price, but they don't offer it anymore so I will go with the 2-year.
For me, it's peace of mind. For something I use so much, I don't mind the cost. Just look at a couple of the recent threads about people breaking their screens. If you have insurance, you will get a new/refurb device instead of opening the case up yourself, etc.

for me not worth it i never broke a phone ever so i guess i am very careful with'em

What's the difference between square trade and asurion from att?

same here, never broken a phone before... not worth the $84+ a year plus tax (verizon charges $7/month) plus then you get charged $100 if you break it....
cheaper to just replace the parts you break imo. also ive seen some water damage tests and it seems fairly water resistance compared to the s3... obviously not considered a water resistant phone but chances are it wont get water damaged...
just be careful with it lol

^it's $99 for 2 years of ADH
I'll probably get it since I usually give my old phones to family members who tend to break

Just got two years for 85. Used a coupon code from a newsletter.
$3.50 per month is worth it. If I accidentally run over it with an Abrams tank, $99 and I get a new phone.

If only it covered lost and stolen. It's crazy that ATT went up on monthly insurance so it could include a service that no one wants.

i always considered lost/stolen to be kind of useless, for me at least... i never leave my phone in my car or anything, and its pretty slim chance that someone steals it right out of my pocket without me noticing lol...
though i did have a co-worker who had one stolen right at work, and i work in a verizon store... guess what? they wouldn't pull the tapes and they considered it his fault. he had insurance though so that's good.

does anyone have a squaretrade coupon code they can share with me ? id like to get 2 Years + ADH. :fingers-crossed:

After leaving my previous phone on the hood of my Jeep, safe to say I had to get insurance for my S4.

I never get a phone without insurance. Too risky, & costly.
