hi guys, im selling a brand new kaiser for $270 inlcuding shipping, if anyone is interested, pm me
You Joined Specifically to Sell your phone huh?
Wow,
Everyone, I have to caution you. You never know who is who behind their internet handle.
To skyler I must say that you would be better off Selling it on eBay, they have a buyer protection program which makes buyer feel soo much better.
Ebay gets a portion of the sale too..
I can't believe Jimmy actually came around.. lol
well if you are trying to sell
I would suggest listing the firmware & programs installed how long you had it, if it is unlocked or not type of payments you will accept. where you are located photo's etc asking people to buy a unit sight unsean with almost no description from somebody with no post what country even and does $270 shipped mean any where in the world this is a world wide forum with people literally around the world. anything you can do to raise you credibility will help you sell faster.
this person as jimmy said just joined to sell his phone so most likely it has absolutely nothing but the stock ROM included on it.
wow, well it is true i just joined basically to put my phone for sale which im sure anyone could figure out once you see i posted the same day i joined and have no other posts. i figure i would have more people interested here since everyone here is into modifying tilt or planning to get one.
i did post on ebay, too many charges and had one buyer who didn't pay after he won.
its a new phone i got through insurance because i lost my old one but then found the old one later on. all the stuff is still in it original wrapping except the phone and adaptor which i used for few weeks until i found mine.
i can post pictures of the phone if anyone is truely interested.
and if not then sorry for the inconvience............
is swoopo a trusted website to buy phones? or its a gimmick cause,
there phone are brand new and pretty cheap biddin...just wondering cause it advert on the forums but is some peops in here have bought their phone over swoopo?
thanks for the replys
Swoopo is legit, but you have to purchase bids..the more bids you purchase, the more you are you are able to bid....thats how they are able to sell stuff so cheap...
im not quite sure I understand, so the more I bid the more I save? but when I bid I actualy pay to them... so at the end I im not saving any money?

Isn't that kind of how "special deals" and things like that work? In the end they will always make sure they get their money. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to stay in business.
could not believe this!- http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290475556636&_trksid=p2759.l1259
how can you do that?! bet the firmware wasnt even built by the seller.. guessing that the prosedure would be- Make a Gold Card and run a RUU with official 2.2.. shame some people actually buy this..
your opinions?
if that sells i plan to make a lot of money in the future

yeah I know! still not right to do this.. PM'ed this guy
"you are trying to sell something that is online for free... did you even make this firmware?! FRAUD!"
Answer.. "Meh, it's amazing what people will buy "
..should I really be looking for a job? well its not righ so, Tesco it is
Aha all I can say to that is good answer
Yeah ive seen some stuff like this. Back earlyer this year when the Nexus One just came out people didnt know you could just go to googles online store and buy it for 530$ unlocked, and on ebay they were going for 700-900 so people got smart and made a buy it now listing for 25$ saying i will tell you how to get the phone for 530$ and people bought it and all they got was a link to www.google/phone
Wow you must feel so ripped of if that happened to you
Sent from my HTC Super Hero using XDA App which doesn't have the word iPhone in its vocabulary, and I wish I didn't either all on my custom baked Rom

ebay is a scam! i lost 400.
i remember people selling wm5 upgrade instructions, the rom maker can protest to ebay, but that's about all that can be done i think.
Sadly like when doing email scam, if just 1% of people who watch this buy it, then it will be profitable for the ones doing this fraud.
So they will keep doing it.
Just for the fun of it I checked out eBay to see what people are asking for the Nexus 6. And I must say I am honestly shocked. The phone is selling for higher overhead than the iPhone 6 Plus was.
Most auctions on eBay are already eclipsing $800 with some as high as $1000 for the 32 GB mode, and these are the ones with the active bidding. I have to admit, for a brief moment, I thought to myself "Hey I could make a quick $300 and then just wait until they are in stock again. Than I realized that even though it would be fiscally advantageous, I just cannot bring myself to give up on the opportunity of owning a brand new Nexus device. I would miss out on playing with the new features and finally having front facing speakers, something I have wanted for what seems like ages now. Not only that but I feel that in doing so I would be taking advantage of all those that were not as lucky as me.
I am just surprised at how much this phone is going for. If you got a pre-order, would you give up the opportunity to use the device for $300+?

No. I need a phone
Well to be honest, if I find out before I receive my pre-order that it doesn't work on Verizon for some reason, I'll probably sell it on Ebay.
Sent from my Cyanogenified S4.
I saw one listing go up to $2000. It's crazy.

I'm pretty sure that was shill bidding. Others had a buy it now price at $800 for the same thing and that listing was still being bid up with 2 days to go.
Hey guys, I just ordered myself a Grey Zuk Z1 from AliExpress seller called LuckyDog :silly:
It's $209 including shipping to New Zealand. Looks too good to be true but I did it anyway. The seller has only started selling on AEx earlier this year but he has 100% positive feedback.
I am waiting and not very sure what to expect. Everything in the ad looks legit.

Take a look and let me know.
I have also decided to mod the skin myself instead of the custom skins rip offs being sold around. I got a car Decal Vinyl for about 90 cents and it's going to look mean as.
Anybody?
its kinda too late to give you an advice, isnt it?
do you want to hear that this is a safe and good buy?
i would not buy a phone frome a seller with only 300 sells ... these sells may be fake?
i bought mine from amazon shipped directly from ZUK and did so because i want to have a good service in case the homebutton breaks, which will happen sometime.
i hope your device will arrive at your place and youre happy with the device

Actually it makes sense to do so, as I can cancel my order anytime before it ships. So I can still do so. How do you spot a fake Zuk, actually why would you fake something that is already very cheap?
I won't worry too much about warranty, I can fix things myself (hardware) when it gets to that as shipping things around from NZ is very expensive. Not to mention that with me rooting the device, I do not expect warranty anyway. Plus, people has been having troubles with ZUK's support so adds up to me not relying too much on warranty.
You are making a compelling argument nevertheless and the point you have raised which I agree with is regarding the product being fake.
i dont get it why you ask for opinions if you defend your position anyway
i just stated i would never buy a phone from a new seller especially at aliexpress. i rooted my device after using it for 2 months, now 7 months after buying it the home buttons feels sluggish.
i didnt pressed it for 5 months because i used mrcoldbirds rom and since a few weeks the nuclearrom but youre right, if you want to tear the phone apart you can fix it by yourself
no more answers from me
I didn't mean to sound defensive. You're right there.
Maybe I should break it down to questions, makes it easy to stay on track
- Has there been any reports of bad or fake Zuk Z1?
- Has there been any complaints of Zuk Z1 devices bought of AliExpress
- Any cheap alternatives to buy the phone for someone in New Zealand?
Thanks heaps for your input and time, feeling a bit ashamed for not thanking you earlier.
