You can browse the Marketplace section of this forum. There are many devices for sale.
Also you can check eBay, and if you want to do business locally then Craigslist is an option.

Swappa.com is a good website to purchase used phones. It is safer to buy on there than ebay, because the swappa staff actively works to prevent scams. As for prices, I use the price on Amazon as the market price. I think it's more official than ebay.
As for looking in the xda marketplace, you gotta have at least 50 posts and be a member for a year to access it.

AVForums is quite good. Normally, it's cheaper than eBay and it's similar to the marketplace here but new members can access it.

Thank you and
But what do you think that there is a one source which gives you the all price information across the web?

I think there are a few but it is often better to search websites individually. The search engines normally miss sales and you will find a cheaper price by searching the main sites listed above. Apart from the ones above, you could use Gumtree.com...

Most of the sellers are in the UK but many are willing to post overseas if you pay for the posting costs.

Thanks man.

Stay away from the clones!

A bit off topic, but there is the odd person who comes to these forums looking for help with their S4 clone. I had often considered one of these handsets before and still get tempted by the lost cost/decent specs, but think I'll stay away for good now.

Although if the below story is true, even equipment from reputable manufacturers can be compromised, so its no just 'all chinese devices can't be trusted'.

I brought a clone at first. And while its mostly ran great the biggest problem was that its 4G/3G antenna was rubbish.

That seems to be the fall down in even the good ones from what I've seen, either a poor WiFi radio or rubbish GPS.

xda is not for clones and Chinese junk that cost as much as a case for phone I do not know why here allowed threads related to fakes

indeed.. got one from ebay ..it sucks

How do people get scammed into buying fakes? Always buy from reputable retailers!

Because we are all saying 'STAY AWAY'.
If one of us said 'Best phone I ever brought' it would be closed.
But in the end I wouldn't bother wasting my money again in the future with those phones.

Better way of not getting a clone is to check the hardware of the device .
Mainly clone or copy have same software but hardware is diffrent .There are many apps to check the hardware .Better be alert

I know right. If the deal sounds too good to be true then it probably is. If most people saw a Rolex watch on sale for 50 bucks I'm sure they would be skeptical.....so why would you fall for a knock off phone.

need some help from opo members!!

Actually, it is very easy to buy this phone in online market, 16G cost 1999 and 64G cost 2299 (both of them are in yuan)
There is a thread explaining the differences between international and Chinese one. Click here please.
According to my experience, there is no difference between international version and the Chinese one in hardware. The only difference is Chinese version's modem which locks some of brands and therefore, leads to some unusable network. However, it's very easy to revert to 100% stock cm11s including the modem. more information in here.
Sorry for my crappy English.
Regards

Yes. A noob from Chinese
Local shop will cost more money than online market so online is the best choice, my friend.
You can get this from Jingdong online market which is very similar to the Amazon. Website is http://item.jd.com/1142209.html .
You can also buy it from opo official website at 10 o'clock on Tuesday and Friday mooning but the number is limited.

[CLOSED][Q] Best website to sell phone online in India?

Hi,
I'm thinking about selling my smartphone online and wasn't sure which
website would give the best value and is also authentic.
Please note that I'm more interested in companies that directly buy your phones
and not individual bidders like ebay or olx.
Some such websites I've come across are:
http://www.atterobay.com
https://budli.in
http://www.karmarecycling.in
http://www.reglobe.in/
Can you tell me if you've had any experience with these websites
or if there's some other good site to sell your phones in India?
Thanks

eBay.in is good to sell smart phone

Thanks but like I said, I'm looking for non-ebay type websites
or companies that buy your phone directly.

Is it worth to buy this Samsung 6?

Hello, i saw one new electronic shop weakprices. com and i want to ask you. Is it worth to buy this phone? I cant show you link here..
Im waiting for your answers guys!

If you like it then yes!

I can't see a phone number on the website which would be a big issue for me. Can't find any reviews either. That site seems very risky to me.

Yes. Current one of th best phones

It's a flagship phone and you'll be getting new tech for sure. But be careful to buy from a reputable source as there are fakes of the S6 out there already.

I've not regretted buying mine
