Someone is willing to sell me that for $250. Is that a good Deal? Zoom in a little to see the cracks better.

Is $250 their original asking price or did you haggle with them a bit? Does the phone come with box and all the original accessories? What's the condition other than the crack?

I think that depends on you. Can you live with the crack? Does it bother you? Only you can decide.
A new 32 GB Nexus 5 is $400, so you have to ask yourself is the crack worth saving $150.

It is not a good deal. LG charges about $150 to fix the screen such as this, leaving you with the exact same cost as buying a new one yourself.
Cracks in the screen can only get worse over time. I would maybe pay $150 for it if I was prepared to fix the screen myself for around $125.

He said it comes with the box and original accessories and a case. And said that the condition is great other then the crack.

As someone said, you do have to keep in mind that the crack can get worst if you drop the phone hard enough. If you baby your phone and don't mind the annoyance of the hairline crack then I'd say do it for $200 cash and not $250. To me $200 cash is a good price.

The insides might be damaged as well beyond the crack.

$200 will do
Thanks! I'll let you know if I'm able to negotiate it down to 200 and if I end up buying.

Personally, wouldn't do it. Too much for something that could possibly crack even more due to existing hair size cracks. Depends on the amount you can spend versus if its worth it to you.

Like when buying a used car, you get a mechanic to check it out first. In this case, meet the seller at a cell phone repair shop, should cost no more than $5-10 for the inspection.

Hmm yea, would applying a screen protector risk cracking it more since the pressure applied during Application?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
It might but usually very delicate with applying. It's all based on you and how you apply. But yes, more pressure might hurt.

My skyrocket is 100% functioning, except... The screen is broken as well as the glass, I can turn it on and see my files when I plug it into my computer, anyone willing to buy it off me for around 100~ all you need to do is to replace the screen. PM me if anyone's interested!

she upgraded to the s3. I almost got a i777 for 120 but that girl sold it to someone else for 100.
I don't need lte as hspa is fast enough for my needs. Maps, fb, scanning & browsing a bit.
Rooted Modded Now to mod it a little more.
Glad to have a phone that is good enough for my needs.

I don't know if this has been posted before, but I've been looking for a case that is Minimal and still shows off the back of the phone. I came across this one and went to look at the prices available... than I looked at the last option... $104,921.73!!!!! I HOPE this is a seller error... I really do hope... I just thought this was funny and I would share with fellow Nexus 4/XDAers. Have a good one.
Actually it says $13,99.
Or maybe the dollar devaluated again...

I was thinking if ANY case is that much it better have an extra 3,000mh (if that's the right abbreviation) battery built in, signal boosters for both WiFi and Cell Data/Radio, pure diamond and/or hardened steel, light-weight, and have an extra voice assistant that knows you by name and balances your checkbook.
Side note, I am thinking about this case but does it add a lot of extra bulk to the device?

Okay I'm not trying to sell my s3 here, but I need advice on selling it locally. My s3 is in great condition. the screen has literally NEVER been touched, but I did drop it on a church trip and a crack covers a bottom corner. Just one in-line crack on the bottom corner. I want to know a decent selling price is cause you can't tell the crack is on the screen when the screen is on and everything works perfect still. including where the crack is. I have the s4 now so I'm looking for a little extra cash but don't wanna rip myself or a buyer off. thanks!
the screen protector is dirty near the home button just so you know that is not the actual phone
replace the glass and you will get much more for it.

all you need is a 20 dollar part and a heat gun/ hair dryer.
there are videos on youtube. looks pretty "fool proof" if you are willing to risk possibly messing the digitizer up. if that happens you are at like 200 bucks in repairs.

Honestly, I don't believe it will sell as is. The S4 is out and that has caused some S3s on Ebay and Craig's List that don't have the crack for fairly reasonable prices.
I hope I'm wrong but I'd really try to repair it or at least get prices on having someone else do it for you. If you know someone who can fix it, you might get it done for parts plus a couple of six packs. :laugh:
Radioshack has a service they offer that fixes broken screens and it is less than a 100 bucks. I know in my area there are at least 2 places that fix screens for less than 50 dollars. Most of the phones on Craigslist in my area have already dropped in prices so don't expect much more than 200 for a broken screen.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
well I already have the s4 and a backup droid x2 (haha I know) so I may just sell it for around $100-120. otherwise it will sit on my desk. I have a friend that already wants it bad. He is switching from an iPhone of many years so I can cut him a deal to help him out. Thank you everyone for the advice!
Recently cracked my nexus 5 screen and I'm thinking about sending it to US lg (from here in Canada) for screen repair. Has anyone been in a similar situation and what's the best way to handle this?
Iv seen a few threads on this. Lg should charge about $150 USD the LCD and glass are fuzed together so you will need to replace the entire front panel. The part costs 100-150. If you are lucky you'll find it for 100 bucks. Its very easy to replace it yourself. But to have it replaced for $150 by the manufacturer is a no brainer for now. That is for the next for months. The cost of this part will go down for sure. I predict around 80-100 by may.

I'm not passing any judgment on you so don't get offended, but my guess is they figure since you took a drill to it, either a. they think you don't care about the money or b. you're an idiot and will pay without questioning.
But from the pictures, it wouldn't surprise me if it's not just the screen.
good luck!
It should be just the screen because I replaced it with an eBay one but the screen wasn't a original. It kinda work with the eBay one but it didn't. I sent it back and I'm guessing it was the screen. Everything in it is not damage and I live is the united States by the way.
Edit: Can anyone link me to an OEM screen ? On eBay or Amazon only
