Offer too good to be true? - HTC One S

If you're in the UK, and haven't bought this phone yet, tmobile-ukdirect on Ebay has recently sold 130 One S phones at £134.99 each. Sold out now, but might be worth keeping an eye out for another batch put up for sale.

I bought a second hand One S a couple of days ago, for around £140. Dammit!
Or am I missing something obvious here?!?!

Maybe s3 variant which sucks?

I ordered one, arrived today.
Box is marked Z520e so suggests it's the S4. It's branded and locked to T-Mobile.

Original full price for NS4G?

What was the original price for the NS4G when it was first released? Trying to figure out how much I'll get back for it when I sell it to Best Buy
599 or 699. I know after 6 months u get like 350 back

I bought my 4G from BestBuy on release day flat out for $699.99.
Why didn't you have them price match the Sprint retail price? Which is considerably lower. Just saying if you are paying "retail" then you have a case more than disputing a contract price.

$199 with contract.

I'm not disputing anything, don't they give you whatever percentage of the retail value back to you with their buy-back program?
Yes. Its 50% within the first 6 months. Here is a link.
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Misc/Buy-Back-Program/pcmcat230000050010.c?id=pcmcat230000050010
I wasn't saying anyone was disputing anything. What I meant was, if you were buying it retail you should have told them that Sprint sells it for $549.00. Would have saved you $150.00 on the release day.
Edit: Also in terms and conditions it says that the buyback program does not start til 30 days after the purchase. So in all actuallity you have til the 7th month of purchase to sell it back.

You folks must all be the daddy warbucks type. I got my NS4G brand new off craigslist for $170 in box, a month ago. Pays to arrive late at the party and pay way less.
They're giving em away for free a BB right now where i live
I traded my Evo for mine. Definitely satisfied with my end of the trade.

Free $10 RadioShack giftcard when you buy the One X

So i bought my original One X from radioshack since they where the only ones who had them during the whole customs problems. I returned it once att got them back in stock so i could get grey haha. So today i check my mail and i got a letter from them thanking me for buying a phone from them and they included a $10 giftcard. Im not sure if this is for everyone or since it was the first time i bought a phone from them. Just thought id let you guys know in case you were considering biying from them.

I bought mine from them too, I haven't received anything yet.
I got one. I preordered the first day it was available for preorder, and picked it up one release day. I had to exchange it twice though, and I thought that was why I got the card.....
now only if radioshack had anything worth buying that you couldn't get for 40% cheaper online...

Verizon variant market value?

I was looking on CL and came across a mint unit with box and case for $250. What are these actually selling for?
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
Well I don't trust Craig's List at all. But you can get a brand new one from Verizon for $400. They had Certified Pre-Owned ones for like $280 a few weeks ago but I don't see them now. Their CPO devices come with a 1-year warranty, so I'd rather go that route than CL.

If you jump, INSIST on original receipt and a face picture of the seller. If it's legit, those two things shouldn't be a problem. But tred carefully on CL.

[Q] HTC One X+ (AT&T version)

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

[Q] UK version

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?

Dude that is crazy. I am using the European model with 2gb and came from a z2 with 3gb and this is faster. The chinese model is problematic for UK users but if you prefer more numbers then pay extra. I paid £355 for mine and its best phone to date. I have owned loads or I would not be on xda
32gb on ebay for £419.99
guys in UK, if you want the 32gb, there is some from HongKong selling 5 on eBay
£419.99 for 1
