You'd know that.. jokes man.
I've never used it, did go on it, and didn't find it easy to use. Just use eBay at least what you pay for you get so better for you

id write more about it but , hey its xda ...

craigslist is ok for local selling/purchasing of junk. The problem is that everyone wants to lowball your already low low price.
Example: I had a guitar that is worth $800.00 I put it up on CL for $400.00 and people were still trying to either trade it for firewood (i.e. junk guitars) or try and get it for $350.00.
But another good example is I had an Apple 3g - and I was able to sell it for $200.00 no issues. So essentially I had it for free for the 2yrs I owned it.
... so as long as your dealing local and your a hardass - its not bad for selling stuff. Just don't try and purchase out of your area.
And stay away from the personals (which I think they closed anyways) Thats where all the Chester's are hiding with their candies and ice cream.

craigslist is the place where you transact and get killed.

Its the greates place on earth for a high schooler to find used cars.

I prefer to stay away from it

anyone heard of the craigslist killer?? no?? ok

It's pretty much the best thing ever. I buy/sell all of my phones on CL. Just sold my 6 month old Evo for $300 cash, then turned around and bought a Nexus S for $400. Ironically, I later found out the guy I bought the NS from is a fellow XDA-er.

Yea I saw it on TV. What an asshole that dude was

Meaning I got screwed or the guy who bought it did? Between you and me, I'm pretty sure I took him for a ride, it was probably only worth $200-250. I used it for a solid 6 months and it had a couple bumps and bruises.

Maybe, seems like the ones above $300 are either new or very new (within a month), I got mine the first day they went on sale. I'm happy with the 3 i got, maybe I could've gotten $350, but what's another $50.

Tried to sell my Thrill :) and had a hilarious phone call

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

To Revolution or not?

Hey all,
Currently a DInc2 owner and looking for a 4G device to play with. I can get a Revolution for $80 third party, no contract, etc.. Worth It? Opinions?
Sent from my Incredible 2 using Tapatalk

This is only my second Droid, so i may be biased but i love this phone. I had an OG droid for years before this so it was quite a change, but MT, Cubed, spc, and a lot of other folks have made this phone go from a pos to a really fun and versatile device. I'd say yes its worth the money, but again i have a limited base of comparison.

80 bux. Ya. Maybe try and shop around a bit more. There was one guy who could get his hands on one for 40 bux.
It is a great phone with mods. If you get one, well, welcome to the community.

Haven't played with the DInc2 at all. Had an OG DInc, and upgraded to the Revo. After modding it, it is a great phone. Does everything I need it to and more. It's perfect size; not as big as some of the monstrous phones that have been coming out, but large enough that it's comfortable to watch videos and browse the web.
There are some quirks about it, depending on what you want to do, but nothing that cannot be overcome, and there is a good community here at XDA to help out.
$80 is a great deal, off contract. Shop around to see if you can find it cheaper, but that really is pretty good. 4G phone, with 12GB internal storage, 16GB MicroSD, front facing camera and one click root? What more do you want?

I 2nd, 3rd and 4th this. My phone is a totally different animal after gingervolting, blitzing and supercharging. My wife has a Dinc 2 and I have started to read up on custom roms etc. for her on the Dinc2 forums and by far, this forum and everyone here has been a step above.

[Q] Would You?

So, I called Verizon yesterday because I'm a little frustrated with not getting ICS and one of the accessories I want is not made because they EOL the Revo already. They offered to let me get the Galaxy Nexus for $199 even though I'm not due for an upgrade and they will give me $63 for my Revo.
Would you do it?

I warrantied my Revo about 5 times and they sent me a Nexus as a replacement.

Not a sinle issue with mine to date.
Biggest complaint is the case and mount I ordered to use on my motorcycle won't work and they company is not going to make one that works for the Revo.

Tell the rep I want one, give me a phone number and a name, and I'll do it today. I'll let you know if it was worth it
It's akin to saying: "If someone offered you a Corvette for $30k, and offered $20k for a Kia Rio you owned, would you do it?"
"Only if I wasn't in a coma."
EDIT: I should probably add the disclaimer that Verizon is on the "screw you" campaign for its customers, so you'd need to examine what they were doing with your plan. Would you lose your unlimited data? Would you be forced into two years on a tiered data plan? Are they going to try to chain you to one of their "family shared, everybody wins except you (Stock holders, Verizon, etc.)" plans?
After all, no device is worth your soul...

I took the deal and the Nexus should be here Friday.
No changes to my contract as I was already on the 4Gb data plan(The wife has the unlimited data) and my contract date is still December 2013, so not a bad deal. I wish I had a different choice for carriers, but here in Wyoming they are the only one with decent coverage.
The more I read about the Nexus the more I like it. More to follow on Friday.

I'd trip over my own feet running to the store from the joy of being released from this hell pit of a phone! but, yes I'd defiantly take that offer any day. But, what was the accessory that you wanted but they no longer had since they EOL the phone already?

I wanted the Kraken AMS from Trident so I could clip the phone to my motorcycle handlebars, but they only made the Kraken II and from the person I talked with on the phone since LG has EOL the Revo they will not produce the Kraken AMS for the Revo.

It was a two part complaint. The other half had to do with no ICS for the Revo.
Go ahead and use it if you want. I'll only charge $5 for the use of this claim to get a different phone.

agreed. I have ways out of this phone if I want. I have 2 other lines that are up for renewal, both have regular flip phones with no data plan. I can renew one of those and get a new phone and transfer it to my line. I am a firm believer in paying for your mistakes however, and carrying this phone until upgrade for this line is my pence for impatient and not waiting for 4 months.
I am also very unhappy with Verizon. I have the unlimited data plan and there is no 4G in my area. Verizon promised me 3 different dates but has yet to deliver. Now it looks like I will not get to take advantage of unlimited data on 4G ever because by the time it hits my area (Verizon is now promising by end of 2013) I will have had to update and will have lost unlimited data. It's not like I live in some obscure remote village in the mountains. I live in Ventura California. I'm 40 minutes north of LA. Sprint service and coverage sucks, but right now the unlimited data, selection of phones, and roll over minutes are looking pretty sexy right now.

Just got off the phone with Verizon:
Sending back this second Revo (very recently began to Vibraboot again) in exchange for a Razr Maxx, no upcharge.
They offered the straight Razr (pun!) but I mentioned I had an extended battery and needed something with juice. Two minutes on hold and the 'supervisor' said no problem. Should be here Thursday.
Edit: fwiw, the Razr ics update is scheduled to start rolling out next week.

Great to hear they got you taken care of.
I've had my GN since Friday and I've got it Unlocked, Rooted, and running CWM. Also through in a custom rom and kernal and I'm really loving running ICS.

I had 0 warranty replacements. I bought the second one used from an individual. Just depends on who ends up on the other end of the line I suppose..
Also, the razr is pretty damn sweet. At least, coming from a revo. ; )

Asurion Replacement

So I lost my beloved One last week and I'm still waiting on Asurion to ship me a phone. Has anyone had to get an insurance replacement yet and if so how long did it take? Every rep I speak to gives me a different time frame. Some say 1-3 days and some say 7-10 business days. I'm getting antsy and want my One back.

You need to get Sprint on that as well
retention number 888-273-9460

Retentions pretty much said "Sorry about your luck" and told me to open a new line for a phone if I couldn't wait 3 weeks for an insurance replacement and didn't want to pay retail. Kind of let down over Sprints customer service through this process. I love paying for service and not having a phone.

I just dropped my One and the screen is shattered, plan to file a claim soon. Biggest worry I have is that they won't give me a One but a different phone. I don't mind waiting a few weeks if thats what it takes. Thoughts?

Iv'e heard this happening to a lot of people. Going to call them to make sure they don't mess up.

How does everyones phone get lost or stolen from them? Isnt a phone something you keep in your pocket when not in use?
I have a feeling people are just taking advantage of Asurion policies on lost and stolen phones.
I heard they getting rid of that policy really soon anyway.

So I just got off of the phone with Asurion and they're telling me they seem to be getting regular inventory of our phones in now. They said mine should ship no later than Thursday. I stil find it ridiculous that this is taking weeks but at least I'll get one soon.
I actually went to Sprint and paid full price for a new One this weekend after another talk with retentions. They told me to do that and take it back after my insurance replacement comes in. Seems a little extreme I should have to shell out 600 bucks while waiting weeks for an insurance replacement but they promised me the restocking fee would be waived.
Also to the guy claiming there's too many people abusing insurance replacements; sorry sir but not all of us live in a perfect world. My phone actually walked off from one of the more classy bars in St. Louis where you wouldn't think there are any shady characters around. I set it on the bar for less than 2 minutes inches from me and somebody was smooth enough to swipe it without me or anyone else in my group noticing. There are thieves around regardless of where you are and thinking there isn't is pretty naive.
