Bestest Place to buy Devices? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I have seen people mention a site called swappa. Is this the best one. I have been looking for a tablet and don't trust huge sites like eBay. Is swappa a good choice? Asking fellow users.

I have used them to buy. They get my vote.

Read into them. Honestly it'd be my first choice if I'm buying outright. Read all their tos and whatnot. As far as I know only clean esn's are on there. I have read into it and it definitely is a lot better of an option than eBay in my opinion

Bestest?

the correct english is " most bestest" dumbass

I bought and sold on swappa. But be cautious of sketchyness. My first one I bought turned out to be a scam and my money ended up I'm China. The whole thing was so sketchy. But PayPal is awesome and got my money back in a couple of days.

I vote swappa. Simple as hell to use.

Here on the US west coast, Craigslist is king for used phones.

For safe transactions and reduced prices, you can check out the "outlet" from the company. A lot of companies sell the slightly used tablets and refurbs on their outlet's website.

verizon online has always been the winner for me.
they always give a hookup.

actually what i always do is, shop around on the site and see whats available. then i call them prior to me checking out to confirm everything and they usually give anywhere from a 10-15% discount.
KEEP IN MIND:
i have a business account
i have 4 lines under my name. All 4 are smart phones
and i get 21% discount on all accessories because of the company i work for.

Photon Q at Best Buy for $49 now

In case anyone was still on the fence but considering it, now's a good time to jump...saw someone over on Phandroid post about getting one for this price and verified for myself:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Motorola+-+Photon+Q+Mobile+Phone+-+Black+(Sprint)/6036051.p?id=1218716261717&skuId=6036051&contract_desc=
So glad I just spent 2 hundo on mine...
Sent from the collective. Resistance is futile.
Had I waited a week I would be fine. Went last week when it was $99. Ah well, better than 2 bills Sprint still wants.
This makes me wonder if the plan on supporting this thing. Shame, as for a phone whither a physical keyboard its pretty nice

Bestbuy will pricematch other retailers as long as retailer has the phone in stock, so bb should price match costco's price.

It's more like a meeting for like minded people. Cyanogen mod has a keynote, other people speak, and it's a lot of fun. Some people probably do some work when they are there (there is going to be 1000ish people this year, chances are someone out of them does).

Says they want you to do this for third party marketing and yet the next sentence says Verizon will not give out your information outside of Verizon?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
I find it rather disgusting that verizon offers you a coupon for your personal information. Google just invited our family into a similar thing but they mailed 5 real dollars. And you get a $100 gift card per month if you let them install a router in your house to track data usage.
So how does that wonderful coupon look now? And to think your info is worth hundreds if not thousands of dollars to them.
Hello and welcome to the data mining that is as old as the internet. Nothing new here other than giving you the choice to opt out.
I hope that none of the people here on their soap boxes, complaining about this ever use Facebook... they do this ALL the time and rarely let you know... let alone opt out.
If they traded whoring out your info for a discount off your bill or a upgrade in half the time that would be better than a ****ing coupon. Pricks.
Better and funnier than your tapatalk signature
I'm just shocked that people pretend to be shocked over this.

S3 still the best on verizon market?

Hey I have a chance to get a phone on contract and switch it to my unlimited plan on Verizon. I have an s3. Is this the best on verizon. My friend for some reason has really bad credit but has a chance to get new lines with new contract price. Then he is just not going to pay. Now this isn't something I would do but he did offered me a chance to get any phone I want for cheap price. Should I keep my s3 or just get a different phone and sell it.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Do you like the Note 2? I'd get that if I had the chance. If you want to wait a few months then we may see the GS4. The best phone currently announced is Xperia Z which who knows will ever come to VZW.
I do like the note 2 but it is pretty big. Is that the best phone to get

Its really a matter of preference in screen size. And the fact the note has a quad core. I would wait and get the galaxy 4 when it comes out. I love my 3

Try craigslist. You can often get better prices on ebay even after the fees, if you are lucky.

That's dirty, man.
yeah when you said "for some reason" your friend has bad credit.... Doing stuff like this is the reason. It's also why lots of people who are just joining verizon pay a $300 deductible for service. That being said, my gf has the SIII, and I'm still rockin' the GNEX running ParanoidAndroid. I'm upgrading my work phone and going with either the Note2 or the DNA. I think you'd get a better re-sale price for either of these 2 phones than for the SIII if that's what you're looking for.
Tell your friend I said thanks for doing his part to make my service more expensive.

Honestly you should blame the verizon reps. We went today and he was 250 past due. Usually they don't open new lines. He was going to pay it but the rep said its Ok I have a way around it so you can pay later. I was on the side like WHAT. What would you do. So not to a note 2 at 350? Instead of full retail? I ended get the note 2 for my gf which it is pretty cool.

Ya have you heard the rumored size of the note3. It's going to be 6.5 inches. I think the 5.5 is pushing it. I held the note 2 is not to bad but anything bigger than that is pointless to me unless you are on bluetooth headset all day for calls. The battery has to be humongous to power that bad boy.
