Hey all. This hasn't been a very easy decission to make, but given the financial situation I just put myself in by purcahsing an Alienware laptop, I need to sell one of my phones, and sadly, the Tilt lost the coin toss.
Since many of you are like myself and love a great deal, I decided to leave my Tilt in it's "modded" state for sale. The ROM is an offical at&t ROM, but themes and CABS have been left in-place, as also some of the things I got for it like Tom Tom etc. Everything I have for this device is included. All original box items, even the original box. Leather caryy case, and even a brand NEW Motorola BT Headset. Also a 2G memory card. I just listed this on eBay since I'm an eBay junkie, and the price is a staggering low of $250.00! I figure it may get a little auction action, but I can live with parting with it at $250. Not happy about selling it at all, but it's a money thing. Unless someone wants to "donate" $250? haha riiight. Ok, well if anyone wants a sweet deal, and this phone doesn't have a mark on it and the screen has has a screen protector on it from day 1!, then bid away.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170211542910
I'm interested!
Just bid on it.
Thanks. Rub it in.
Just kidding. It's not a happy choice to sell it, but I've been trying to get an Alienware for ages and finally won (auction) one. Oh, and great, I just noticed my other bid on another Alienware seems to be winning so now I'm gonna have to sell myself for a few nights of dirty sex to pay for it. Figures!
Dude if i had 1 million dollars I'd help you out man. Hope you get a new Tilt soon dude. Seems like a sweet deal. Too bad I have a phone or I would have won that auction.
Thanks. The same thing happened when I had my Hermes (8525), but in that case I just got bored tweaking it and decided it was time to move on. I wasn't quite done "playing" with the Tilt. Hell, I didn't really get started aside from a few flashes.
$280, with a day to go. Man, every time I look at the page I feel a pain in my gut.
Trust me your phone will go up in price...a lot of people do not bid until the last minute then it goes crazy!!! I just sold my Samsung i760 on ebay a month ago and the price was $250 for the first 6 days....on the last day I ended up getting $380 for it!!!!
Relax you will get a good price
Legally you can't sell software thats on your phone. You dont own it. If you read the EULA it states that you are buying the right to use there software and that it is non transferable. Be that is it may I would pack my 8 gig with so much stuff and just state that Its the buyers responsibility to delete any unlicensed data.

I'd be surprised to see it go for less than $400. At least that seems to be the going rate these days.
Dude, I hope the TOM TOM is yours that your selling. Hate to think someone buys it and then not able to get the serial# or something for it.
i really don't get why people announce that their kaiser is for sale in a kaiser forum. kinda pointless IMO.

He just trying to get the word of mouth thing going to get the auction to sell for more money.
Don't know if this got posted already, but thought I would share:

I wish I could ask for my money back every time I saw one of those bluescreens of death in Windows...
I don't think it's funny at all. I would be pissed.
Pretty much every company would do exactly the same thing
They backed off
I read yesterday that the laid off workers will get to keep what they were paid after all. I guess MS decided it wasn't worth the bad PR to get the money back. Kind of too late though, isn't it?

yeah it is kind of too late. however, I believe some of them really didn't deserve the amount they got in laid off pay and none of the news sites brought that up. think about it this way, if your employee got fired after 3 months of working with you, do you think it is fair for them to receive 12months pay as severance when they were only supposed to receive 6 or 8 months worth? after finding out that your HR dep. gave them too much, wouldn't tell tell your HR to get back the overage they paid out?
it is roughly if not entirely the situation, but from the majority of articles and blogs I've read about it refuses to put it in actual context; which end's up being like a double dose of bad PR for Microsoft.
if I were faced with this situation the truth is: I would try to get back my money because in the end it would be unnecessary loss for my company's bottom line.
for an example: 1400 people got laid off, each made $20hr on an 8hr shift 5days a week. that's $800 a week, $3,200 per month, and $38,400 per year (MS workers makes more than this right?).
now 400 of those 1400 workers got over paid; they were supposed to receive 8 months severance but they got 12 months.
so my company has to pay $38,400 to each of those 400 = $15.36 million.
this works out to be $5.12 million unnecessary lose for my company.
WHAT? HR better find back my money!
Hello!
I left my night shift job last month and still don't have a job. I'm actively looking for a job, but even then I won't make it to my first pay at this pace.
Is there any way I could make a few bucks at least for gas in the meantime, just so I don't reach the negative balance?
hey sorry about that better times will come.. in the meantime I'll give you my advice and this one comes from personal experience(yes I've had a few rough times, who hasn't?)
Last time I was short on the "thing you use to buy potatoes"(sounds better in portuguese) aka money, I sold something(s) that I had and was not making use of, like my PSP for example. Broke my heart to let it go but you gotta do what you gotta do.
The point is, we always keep things we don't use anymore because we think "well I might be needing this some day" and probably will need that thing again but until then there are more important things one might need.
hope this helps
I have been out of work for 6 months...
are you handy around the house? why not post your talents online (painting, wallpapering, cleaning) on free classified postings...
I lost my job in february due to a work injury, and I was physically unable to do most work with out the use of my left arm. I have healed since then but stopped receiving disability pay in october. It has been 10 weeks and unemployment still has yet to come through and help me out.
I also have sold off things that were luxury items like my ATV and an engine I had built sitting around in my garage. A friend of mine supplements his unemployment doing odd jobs he finds off craigslist and I have helped people move and cut firewood for cash. Hoping the economy picks up locally so i can get back to work soon.
Good luck and look everywhere. Craigslist is a good place to start.
what response have you received from the unemployment office?
Have you gone to them?
If you have, did you show the letter stating when disability payments would start and/or end?
They may be waiting from a response from your previous employer...
I don't get unemployment cheques, but I'm getting a job internview this morning. Thankfully, I don't have many financial responsabilities (college student here), but I could use a few bucks just to close the gap 'till I get a job.
As for putting gas in my car... I got rear-ended yesterday, total loss, and 5 minutes later Staples calls for a job offer!

CA-CHING!!!!!!!
I can already feel your neck stiffening up and a slight loss in feeling both of your pinky toes!!!
Not really, the car took it all so I'm feeling fine, but still. Now I have to get another car with what the insurance company judges my car is worth (360 000 km, but in better condition than anything that mileage).
Trouble likes company

There are lots of sites that pay you to fill in serveys, you only get a couple of dollars each but do 10 a day thats 20-30 dollars suppose lol
Just make sure that the company you represent isn't from Nigeria...
Dang it I hate this laggy keyboatd!!!
Is anyone else going?
It looks to be better this year than it was last year. I'm just happy that I'll finally get to see Alice Cooper perform (a)live.
I've been four different years, it gets worse each year. I have never paid to go, I work a few hours and get to play the rest. I'm liking the lineup this year, and I'd actually consider going (I didn't go last year), but my brother's graduation is the 9th, so no such luck.
Have fun, though!
I was looking into volunteering so I could get in free, but I just shook that off and gave them my money (maybe next year, if the lineup is as good). Friends wanted me to go last year, I didn't do that either. This will be my first year there (mainly for the good lineup). I hope it's good enough for me to want to return.
And thanks!
I didn't volunteer, I actually worked with a food vendor. My first year there we were actually on shakedown street, it was nuts.
Definitely have a good time, but remember to be safe. There's free water all around so keep yourself hydrated.
Last time I was there I ran into Jack Black at the Spicy Pie stand (great pizza, btw). He was strangely a very normal person.
Ahhh, gotcha.
My friends' band, Alabama Shakes, is playing up there, and I can't wait for it. And yeah, there will be plenty of water on my end and no drugs in the convoy. And I have all the camping equipment I'll ever need. I'm just extremely excited at this point.

I was pretty impressed with the release notes yesterday. Ive been nothing but happy with my N6 (got it new since it came out), but ive got the new phone itch lol.
Also since im on Project Fi, they were offering the VR gear for free (most likely would not have bought it on my own, just my personal opinion). So ive got my order in for an XL. We shall see how that goes.
imo I think it is really pricy. Cant justify myself spending so much for a pixel. beside that I think my n6 and n5 is still usable at least till the next pixel release.
No Pixel for me. Not going to pay that kind of money for a phone. I got my N6 just a year ago and it is still working perfect. If i buy a new phone then I will spent no more then 400 euro on it.

I agree, I was a bit surprised at the pricing.
Although, the days of renewing your contract and getting a $200 smart phone are gone. I think every phone company (around me anyways - ATT, VZ, Sprint, Tmobile, ect) are all charging full retail for phones now ($650+)
Its not as bad of a hit having it over 24 month payments and them not charging interest on it.
I'm getting it. Most of the people on here too are. No matter what they say. They will be craving it by xmas.
I preordered a 128GB Pixel XL for $921 to get the free VR headset deal, but I decided to cancel my order a few hours later. I'll wait for some reviews and root confirmation before I drop that kind of dough on something I'll be bored with in a year or less. Hopefully there will be a black Friday sale next month or some holiday deals at the end of the year.
The Pixel looks like a really really nice phone, but being a full time student with no job puts a big crunch on my budget for toys.

This just sounds like you have a good head on your shoulders and your parents taught you some responsibility/how to prioritize lol :good:. Something I seem to see/hear less and less of with younger generations.
worst case scenario i might just pick up a used 6p or a xiaomi flagship at half the price

£400/$500, yes. Current prices, absolutely not. Where do you get "Most of the people on here too are" from? Based on the number of people who say "Wow, that's a very reasonable price" or what?

Yeah, however I'm on Verizon and if you've been with them before they removed the contract pricing, you are still allowed to upgrade at contract price for around $200-$300

Hmm did not know that.
I had them for 10+ years but got tired of paying soooo much for my bill (grandfathered unlim data). When Project Fi was announced, I hopped on. Kept both VZ and Fi for 2-3 months to compared reception in the areas I spent most my time. Fi held up just fine and is LESS THAN HALF of what I was paying big red (just dont get unlim data).
Wonder if they will keep that trend going.

I was tempted to switch to Fi before, but I always had the idea in the back of my mind that someday I might grow tired of Nexus or the new iteration won't be as good (Pixel).
Anyways, if you still have a line on VZW, you can check it out, otherwise you can try to woo a representative into giving you the contract deal
I have no idea what makes anyone believe most people on here will buy the pixel. Literally 95% of the posters have an extremely negative opinion of the device on the threads out there. I would rather buy an iphone than a pixel at those prices. Too many other decent options to consider.

Well it's mostly because I have more expensive hobbies (cars). I just finished a big turbo project and I need that money in case something goes terribly wrong. It shouldn't, but **** happens... Having a running car is more important than having the latest gadget.

My N6 is way better than that overpriced phones. So no thank you. I'll wait few more months until prices go down and buy an op3 or even a axon 7. Or go adventurous and buy Umi plus. Which is easy sexier looking phone!
So N6 was my last Google phone ever.

The N6 was equally ridiculously overpriced in 2014, so I laughed at the idea of buying it. Besides my Note 3 was only one year old, just reached the age I cared less if the knox flag is 0x1 or not. Also a SD805 upgrade over a SD800 is not an upgrade. And the Note 3 had a better camera.
And a year later I changed my mind.

The price is high, but the constituency here are tech heads. People will groan and grumble, but eventually get it. Provided their is good community support.
When a phone like our N6 starts to lose community support for being old, it's not very gratifying to own.
The only thing that would possibly stop me, if the bootloader was locked down tight with no option to root.
UPDATE: Ok, I did check the price. Pixel XL with 128g is probably about 900+ with tax delivered. Yea, that might push me out.
