Is trading for an invite permitted? - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I know buying and selling on XDA is a no-no, but what about trades? I would be willing to trade my generation 1 Nexus 7 for an invite, and of course pass my invites along to the XDA community. :fingers-crossed:
Thanks.

@Naddict, can you weigh in on this please?

I think its very easy to "scam" someone with trading for a invite since you're giving up a tablet. And chances are if they have a extra invite, then it would be expired by the time the tablet arrived.
So neither sides would feel very secure making the trade, thats just my two cents.

Understood, I would be willing to send the tablet first and once received, the other party could send the invite. I may have too much trust but I consider most of the XDA community to be very trustworthy, in my experiences. :cyclops:

^^^ This ^^^ And XDA really is not the place for it either as there is a transaction occuring that includes item(s) of value...so I suggest it go elsewhere...
Why not just donate the invite???

Me donate the invite? If I had one to donate I would be donating them left and right as I got them to fellow XDA'ers/OPO'ers (w/o devices ofc), although I am actually looking for one myself. In regards to trading the tablet and the insecurities someone may have, I would be happy to pack it up and send it via UPS and provide tracking information and pictures immediately or whatever the generous donator asked as I know the invites only last 3 days(?) and then 24 hours once given out. Just an idea. I was just hoping I would be able to purchase one by now so I did not become a member of the OPO community until very recently which I unfortunately assume sets me back quite a ways. Anyways, thanks for the information and I shall be on my way with my fingers crossed

I'll do it once my invite comes. I bought a OnePlus so I'm still waiting on an invite to come so I can send it.

I've had my OPO for about 3 weeks now and still no invites to give out. It'll be awhile.

There's people on eBay selling invites for as low as $40 that's how I got my OPO, considering what people are selling them for it was a deal. I would consider that route.

Pm me i have a invite

hey, thanks for all the people who have PM's me, I have traded the tablet away and am now cooking with bacon, thank you for all those who replied and offered invites it was greatly appreciated!

Extend Invites validity?

Hi guys i'm in very bad problems with Oneplus. I'm one of the storm winners and I received the mail that says that my invite will be good to use for 72hours. The problem is that i can't buy it right now, cause i don't have the money and can't find them in just 3 days! Any chance that Oneplus wull extend the validity of my invite, or send it to me later?
I would suggest just ask them per mail. I can't tell you however if they are going to extend it.
Already did, they didn't reply yet. :/

Actually nope :/

Actually good idea to give this invite to somebody rather than going waste and ask them to give invite later to you... invites u will get after buying will have more expiry...
Probably better to find someone trustworthy with lots of posts for example on this forum (a dev who wants the phone maybe) who you can give the invite to. Just make it a condition that they give you an invite back after oneplus gives them their 3 free invites eventually.

I would be happy to purchase it ND send the invites back to you. Just a thought. I'm a long time xda member. I'll give u my phone number if you want to call me.
They replied and as i could imagine, invites validity isn't expandable. I decided to give the first invite to my girlfriend, then take the second one that will come. Also when i'll receive the second OnePlus i'll give the invite to one developer, in order to improve XDA

That's a nice present...
Made the thread for giving away the last invite (when I'll receive it). Interested developers can go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53716549

Bought the phone....

payed 25 for a invite
but was wondering how long does it take to receive the 3 invites or is that even true you get the three invites when you purchase the phone lol
of course i will be giving them invites out:good::good::highfive::highfive::highfive::highfive::highfive:
I've had the phone for about 3-4 weeks and still have not received invites to give out to anyone.
It'll take time to get the extra invites to give out to others.
Congratulations on your new purchase. Hope you enjoy it when you get it this week.
Look at the invites section of your OnePlus profile, that'll answer your question.
PS. Questions go in the Q&A Section.

No invites to share. Once you have purchased a phone you will be assigned sharable invites as we have stock available. Please note that it will happen randomly, not a specific amount of time after buying. You will receive an email when sharable invites are assigned to you.

i guess its random who knows could take weeks when the phones public lol
well anyways thanks for the answers gonna try and close the thread:good:
Yeah I bought mine about 3.5 weeks ago, haven't received my shareable invites yet though.

OnePlus One Invite

Is there anybody here who wants an invite to buy the OnePlus One? This isn't a case of first come, first served, I'll be selecting who gets an invite (if anyone)
Transmitted via Bacon
I'm tempted, but part of me wants to wait for the Nexus to be announced first. My One X has felt like molasses lately.
Throwing my name in, would greatly appreciate it.

I would love to get an invite. Both my dad and I have the one x for two years now, his has not aged as well and constantly has battery issues. He's been dying to replace it, and was disappointed that the oneplus one was such a limited release. I could use the invite to get him one.

looks like everybody from the One X forum is moving to the One Plus One forums. I am seriously tempted - but I will have to wait till it's available locally in India.

You can still get it in India, many Indians have bought it and had it delivered there by using a mail forwarding service. I also had to use a mail forwarding service (Shipito) to get my two sent to Australia. It only cost me about $35USD extra, I imagine the cost to send it to India would be similar.

Absolutely - but at that price range (including Indian customs), it takes me to the price range of Xperia Z2 with full local warranty - and that's making me pause
Any other invites?
If anyone else has an invite for a One Plus One I would surely appreciate one. I love my Evita but time is moving on and I have seen this community dwindle so I would be excited to move to a more active device.
Thanks!
kindly provide the invite code..

Last day for two invites!
Let's make this a little harder for bots
First comes GLFQ, then 8ENG, the third is XLG1 and last but not least LJVP
First comes GLSS, then JEIM, the third is XU1L and last but not least HDJ7
Please post something if you claim them :highfive:

Oneplus one invites to share

Hi all my fellow doubleshot users
I received another round of invites from oneplus and have two left that will expire soon
for those unfamiliar with the device or the trouble it is to obtain one have a look here:
http://oneplus.net/
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one
as you can see it has the specs to beat nearly any flagship out there yet costs a fraction of the price (even less than a nexus)
to boot it comes with a special variant of cyanogen as the stock ROM
This phone has been praised but just about every tech expert and i will say they are all correct, a fantastic phone that is worth twice as much!
the problem is getting one, you need an invite just to buy
so free of charge i have an invite for you! feel free to let me know why you want one
and note you must be ready to purchase within 24hrs from the time you claim the invite (payments are paypal only so have an account)
you all wont be disappointed, this is by far the best phone i have ever used and trust me i have used a lot!
also you must register for an account at the oneplus website
I would like an invite. My old phone is running like a champ... or it was, it is dying. I was going to hold out for a Nexus 6, but after hearing it will have a 6" screen... Well let's just say I'm not ready to take 6 inches in the pants....
I have received an invite. Thanks for the offer!
I don't know if you have any invite left, but I'm very much interested in buying a 64gb sandstone black!!!
The reson why I want one is simple, my wife keeps using my S3, so I'm planing to give it to her, and buy an oneplus one for myself.
Thank you very much!
Sorry no more right now but when I get more I'll post back

How had I not heard about this phone? Ever since I got my Doubleshot, newer phones really haven't grabbed my attention because it does everything I need and none of the new offerings were really compelling.... until now.
It looks amazing.

[Q] Better to go Chinese or wait for an invite?

Here's the situation, I want to buy this phone for my mother so I though I'd take a look at amazon UK as they had sellers listed as OnePlus themselves but I was suspicious, after some searching I found they only sell the chinese version on amazon which I've heard has more problems
I don't know a single person who owns one so getting an invite is kinda....impossible.
Should I settle for the Chinese version or scour the internet till I can get an invite, time is important here as she needs it for work.

Look around the invite threads here and on the oneplus forums, someone will probably throw you an invite. I'd give you one if I had any
Just to expand, in my opinion it's worth trying to get an invite to buy one from oneplus as I think there's issues with your warranty if you buy from anywhere else.
