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.
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............
So I tried to sell my thrill, after having chosen the atrix after a day or two of comparing them in hand
I got one call that really made me angry
I was lowballed all the way to $320 for a pretty much brand new thrill [every sticker still on phone, a few minutes talk time, very careful and very cautious testing as to keep the phone in mint new condition]
The guy said "No one cares about LG"
and "no one cares about the thrill"
I asked why he wanted it, and he said "his wife"
I told him it was ridiculous to sell it for $320 when new inspires [HTC] sell for $250 and new atrix sell for $320, and why in the world would I sell a phone that is only a week old and dual core with a 4.3 inch screen for the same price?
He said it was stupid and that if he wanted to spend more he'd buy an iphone 4 for $340, to which I told him the iphone 4 won't even be worth $250 when the iphone 5 comes out. he then replies that's what 3gs is worth and I'm pretty much laughing..
then he starts saying, he doesn't care, and the best phone anyways is the sensation, the only phone worth buying is the sensation
to which I say the G2X is better than the sensation in everyway and that the thrill is a lot like the G2X...
anyways, he got really mad that I wouldn't take $320 for the phone new. I told them that on ebay they are $410 buy it nows and he said 'no one cares about ebay, ebay's dead"
anyways..funny..very funny.
i know someone will buy it eventually. i'm only asking $370 for it brand new with the car charger case screen protector etc
I would have laughed in his face and told him I was going to post this on the internet for the WIN!
LOL funny story though
Do you have his number? i will sell him mine for $320

Why would you guys sell it while you're still in the 30 day return window? Definitely worth at least $400 at this point on Craigslist, but you can buy it for $450 new without a commitment so you shouldn't expect to get more than that.
I bought mine for $330 and using with H20 wireless from craigslist

according to him, yes.
mind you I don't sell on ebay, always get burned
but according to him, ebay, the biggest auction site in the world, is dead.
he's crazy, I actually got a few offers today and no one lowballed the way he did, I should have the thrill sold tomorrow
hate to see it go, but I can't justify having both the atrix and thrill. will come back later if the lg gb or ics upgrade is crazy good or if a really good rom is at least stable.

I wouldnt say ebay os dead... But it isnt what it was 10 years ago.
Craigslist is the new ebay
ebay is over run with retailers sellung products at a 10% mark up over what you could buy it for elsewhere , taking advantage of unsuspecting fools that do not know better....that and overseas sellers (which i buy from frequently)
you have me tempted to sell mine for real... .$300+ for a $50 investment is almost too good to pass up....and it sure would give me some extra cash for my vegas wedding come 11-11-11

Went in yesterday to purchase my new Vivid (at the full price of $550, as I don't prefer contracts) and the sales guy walked me over to the accessories rack and asked me to pick out something. I thought to myself, "Well he's just trying to make a sale," so I said, "No, thanks."
He then said, "No, go ahead and pick out whatever you like and I'll take it off the price of the phone." I grabbed an external battery pack which can recharge the phone over micro USB, which was $40. He then asked if there was anything else and I thought to myself, "Really? How far do I want to press my luck?"
I had earlier noticed they sold Jawbone Jamboxes at this store. I really like them, think they're fine products. My boss has one and he's spoken well of it. So I said, "Well my boss has a Jambox and loves it, and I'd love to have one!", fully expecting him to say no but he just walked over and grabbed it!
I got $240 worth of free stuff with my purchase
good deal, they make a ton of money off phones and people being on contracts that they can always work with you on accessories. I worked at BBY mobile and we would throw around cases and screen protectors since they were peanuts vs. selling phones.
Haha, I still work for Best Buy Mobile. Good times here.
Good for you for getting a badass deal on the phone though, I wish we could do something like that here, since we make virtually nothing on selling a phone without a contract.

Wow what store? (Location)
At the AT&T store by Flamingo and West Sunrise, they were less than enthusiastic to even talk to me. Once I mentioned that I was interested in buying the phone, without a contract extention.

Hi
As the tittle suggests i got duped with a v40 i bought in Ebay a while back, i was looking for a new phone with good sound quality and came across the v40 with all the Dac's and so forth sound quality is amazing, as much on headphones or connected to the car stereo receiver, so i am quite a noob with smartphones don't really got much into to it, so i just went on Ebay bought this phone, awesome because now i had music at work high fidelity style, but it was simlocked, actually the obvious thing to do was contact the seller and send it back (USA) but i did not because i was still living in a reality that all phones could still be easily unlocked, i was working in Holland at the time and when the corona hit after a few weeks i had to come back to Portugal and with a lot of free time in my hands i started on the quest to unlock the beast but no good, i used a few services to unlock but none can get the code, can not find any software neither and i came across a blacklist check site and there it was :cyclops::cyclops::cyclops: the phone is blacklisted because the owner missed payment and probably that is why they can not get the code, so my obvoius question is there any way i can unlock it? i do use the phone for music, GPS routed thru my old phone for data connection, and go to the web when i am at a place with WiFi but would like to use it as my main phone.
Thank you guys.
No way to get around it that I know of. What was the ebay sellers name? Curious if it's the same seller that sold me one that was brand new factory sealed. I just returned it and got my money back eventually. Wouldn't be surprised if it was the same seller and he tried to resell it. Seemed like a shady character after trying to get a refund.
Sorry to say, but you own a hot phone. It was sold illegally by the original owner who didn't technically fully own it themselves. If you pay off the original debt, that may remove it from the ban list.

Yes it seems like it, well i see that as a lesson learned, i did contacted At&t in the USA they told me that they can not do anything about it and that i had to speak to the seller, too late for that now, i guess i just keep on using it as a supped up Flac player lol and it is awesome for it, next time i will cash out a bit more and buy from the shop
you can buy a used unlocked motherboard from Aliexpress for around 70USD and swap the motherboards. Thats what I ended up doing.
