I found a HTC One X+ (AT&T version) on ebay. The matter is the price. The auction started in 370 USD. I think that is too cheap. The description says this
I am selling the latest HTC ONE X+ 64GB which is locked to ATT network. This is an upgrade in almost every department of the already fantastic and popular One X. Buyer assume full responsibility if purchasing to unlock and use on any network other than ATT. This phone is only two and a half weeks old and used for only about a week. It was in the Speck grip case from the time of purchase and is included in this auction. As you can see in the pictures the original charger and sync cable are still in wrappers. Included in this auction are the original box and manuals, phone, battery, AC wall charger and Sync cable, Sim eject pin, and brand new SPECK candyshell grip case. US bidders only and will ship to continental US only. I accept Paypal only as payment.

So I don't know if is this a scam, or there is a problem with this particular version, or it is impossible to unlock I don't know. What do you think guys about this version?
Well how many days are left on it? Nowadays people usually wait to bid last second on eBay and even if it was a scam and you paid your money eBay and PayPal will always side with the buyer usually

Are there any comments about this version?
You could try posting in the One X+ forum and checking with people who already own the device?

Auctions often start at a low price to attract attention. As mentioned, most the bidding happens on the last day of the auction, even the last hours/minutes. Bidding a high price early just pushes the auction price unnecessarily high.
Bidders determine the ultimate price of the item. So you can't tell if an eBay auction is a scam, solely by price. Look at the sellers rating.

I found the auction:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/HTC-One-X-6...1039819421?pt=Cell_Phones&hash=item1c2e89129d
There are four days left to go. Rest assured the price will go up substantially based on what others are selling for.
The seller has two feedbacks, both from selling phones, apparently both today. I would be a bit wary of this--who knows where he got these?

Thanks for your comments. I sent a mail to the seller asking this:
Hi
1.- Which is the firmware version?
2.- Did you try to unlock it before?
3.- Why are you selling this htc?
Cheers

He answered this:
I do not have the firmware version readily available. The phone is already boxed and ready for shipping because someone already had won it in a previous auction. However he was from Russia and I do not ship internationally and so this is a relisted auction. I can unbox it tomorrow and power it on and give you the firmware number. I have never attempted to unlock the phone but I have read that it is definitely possible but I am unsure of what networks it would work on. That is up to the buyer however it is my understanding that it should work on any GSM network worldwide as long as the bands are supported. I am selling the phone because I am somewhat of a phone junkie and have many different phones. I am currently using a Lumia 920 and at the moment prefer the WP8 platform. I also have the LG Optimus G and a Samsung S3!!! I will probably be selling those off too in the near future. If you look at my history I have sold already a One X, Focus 2, Atrix 2, and Galaxy S3

Hey guys!! I just joined recently!
Anyway, my question is the following:
I want to buy mytouch 4g, but I live in Canada. I found an online store called negri electronics! Now I haven't made purchases online beside ebay. They have this phone avaliable and I'd order it, but problem is i am uncertain.
Has anyone else bought a phone from them before? Is it really brand new and never used before (zero air time minutes). They have this phone unlocked at $535.50 and states it is brand new.
Is there any other online place I can order this phone from and get a better deal?!
I'd travel to states bufflo, but the t-mobile store is sold out completely!
Thanks guys!

I would say wait for it to be in stock at T-mobile. Retail on this phone is $450 and you will have a better chance of warranty in case anything happens. Unlock codes are super cheap nowadays, you can buy one for $5 if T-mobile won't give you one but I think they're have to unlock it for you if you buy it outright and as for it. You can also ask the store to hold one and call you as soon as they get it.
Other option would be to find someone on Craigslist close by and pick it up for $400 or less.
If you're really determined to pick one up from that store... just google it and see what people are saying about them. I've never heard of them, Wirefly OTH has MT4G for $539 (not including shipping or unlocking though) but they're trusted retailer.
And finally, if you're willing to pay that much money for a phone, why don't you just find Desire HD? Nicer phone IMHO (same hardware but bigger screen, better appearance and better camera.)
Good luck.
Oh, htc desire HD is better? I am not sure lol. I liked this one cause in canada we have Windmobile, their phones are pretty much crap for aws band .
Thanks for your insightful comment! I really appreciate it! and I will take a look into Wirefly OTH as well!
I have to pay $500+ anyway even for t-mobile store because the amount of gas that goes in, ends up around that price. I don't really wanna travel to the states because it comes down to same price, just with a lot of headache and driving and all lol.
thanks though!

OTH was my abbreviation for "On The other Hand"... perhaps not the best one lol It's just WIREFLY.COM . I used them few times, they are not bad at all and really cheap with contract. They are still more without one. Do you have any relatives in states? That could be your golden egg right there
Nooo, I don't know anyone in the states.
So, I don't really have a choice now. I just wanna make sure that negri electronics is a reliable place to buy such an expensive phone! I hope it is brand new and really the genine product! thats my main concern, I don't really mind paying that price, but I don't really have a choice now do i? lol
thanks!

About Desire HD, I don't think you can find one online for less than 650+. I've been looking for days and it's only available on ebay for around 700+ or on some UK websites that don't look that good like expansys.com and handtec.co.uk
for around 650.

I can get u one brand new unlocked for 500 and u pay shipping, let me know asap by PM ;-)

I currently have an HTC Vivid and after looking at my 2 options, I've decided on the unlocked international HTC One X. Im gonna by it from Clove in the UK. My question involves your past experience with them. They have 2 shipping options seperated by only 8 pounds sterling. Out of the 2 methods, which would be the better shipping option? Airsure or DHL? I've already had a bad experience with DHL here in the states, driver stealing packages, and would rather not use them if I don't have to. Should I go cheap and use DHL, or should I pay the extra and use Airsure? This will be my first time buying internationally, buying an unlocked smartphone, and buying an unlocked international smartphone all in one order and want use the most timely and secure shipping method. Thanks in advance for your help.
BTW, anyone who drops relative information will get a "Thanks" added to their stats.

So now the S IV has been rooted. People have had their hands on it for a little while.
eBay sellers still show pre-orders. Can't find a shop with stock since the phone hasn't been released.
Where are people getting their S IV???
They must be devs or beta testers and or reviewers.

S4 isn't for sale anywhere - but in Denmark you can make a pre-order in about 20 shops at the moment. First delivery end of April.
Right and stores in Germany and the UK are also taking pre-orders.

Does BestBuy have an advantage over AT&T? I am asking because I am trying to decide if I want to go through AT&T to buy mine or another brick & mortar store. I'm not going to buy online because I want to be able to physically see and hold what I will be buying in this case. I plan on buying it at full price, but that might change if I can get a deal on a plan if I subsidize it through AT&T.

They usually charge less. Also if you get their warranty, it's much better. Covers everything and you don't have to pay for a replacement or repair.
AND, the next time you purchase a phone, they will buy the old one back. Usually not as much as you'd get on eBay for it, but could help defray the costs of your next phone.

Thanks for the reply. It sounds like a pretty good place to buy from but I am a little unsure if BestBuys is going to even be in business in 2 or three years when I go to get another phone. I guess its going to come down to how much less they can sell them for versus AT&T.

First off I'm not trying to advertise but I'm going to sell my two black 16gb devices.
So out of curiosity what would you ask for or
What would you pay for one? Something fair obviously under googles price tag.
Assuming they are mint condition lol
Just check your local classifieds and see what they are selling for. And decide from there. Low to sell fast, high if you're in no rush.
That's definitely the best way to sell anything.

I have mine listed as $200 mint with sg ballistic case.
There's no local listings for nexus 5 phones and any
People that have messages me have acted like I'm asking too much?
I think that's fair considering google lists the phone new at $350
Do you guys think I'm asking a fair price based on your locale?

More than fair. It's actually too low if in mint condition. I don't think anyone's selling them that cheap.
I can only imagine they see a low price and are trying to drive you down even further.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Search eBay for completed listings so you can see what they're selling for. Also search for what the used case is selling for too. But being that it's yours, ultimately it is your decision as to what you want for it. I think $200 in mint condition + case is more than a fair asking price.

I would list it for $270
Remember that the website will charge you around
$15 between ebay and PP for total listing + post sale charges.
The fact that Google subsidies its cost, doesn't mean that we have to do the same thing again
They wont get a similar phone for that low.
I would see what they are going for on Swappa.Com (list it, it is free and their fee of $10 is added to what you ask), ask for more than that on Craigslist, and Ebay will get you more, but have higher fees.

This. Swappa is a great resource to see what phones are selling for.
I use Swappa for almost all of my tech buys and sells. It is free to list and $10 for a sell (paid for by the buyer, so if you list for $200, the buyer sees the price as $210). So you just pay shipping (and technically $10 since you lost out on buyer's $10 to Swappa). eBay takes like 10% + shipping. I always forget this until I get my eBay invoice and realize I took huge losses when I thought I broke even. I sell a $300 tablet, I end up with like $245 after eBay fees, shipping, and PayPal fees. Craigslist is good if you're in a city, but it is terrible for rural areas. Sometimes I find good deals on there, but when I'm selling, no one wants to pay me asking price.
Thanks fellas. The phones are mint.
And you were spot on when you said people kept asking for a cheaper price.
But to be honest I just sold them for what I owed to t-mobile, as I just wanted out of their
Financing because I has a bad experience on their network lol.
But they just finally sold about an hour ago. He called himself a "phone geek" so I'm sure he knew what a deal it was!!

Phones were sold about 14 hours ago.
While this didn't "specifically" break any rules with regards to selling on the site, it was very, very close. Even so much as listing the price at an almost invitation for PMs about it type of nature.
Regardless, the phones are sold, Thread Closed.
Has this device got a planned UK release date at all? I cant find any info about when I would be able to walk into a brick and mortar shop and pick one up. It was announced 2-3 months ago, reviewed a month ago and still nothing. Its ridiculous. Same with the htc desire 820. Its like they are phantom phones. No info on expansys, cw or simplyelectronics websites. All a bit worrying.
Anyone know anything about a UK release?
