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.
The NC is $249 from best buy, B&N & walmart. Ya'll recommend any one place over the other?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897
Try Walmart as I hear they still have the pre new partitioned NCs, saves you trouble.
I got mine at best Buy because I needed to get an SD card at the same time. It really doesn't matter.
If you want to have the best shot at getting one with the old (non-sucky) partitions, try a walmart in a smaller town. If it's a slightly redneck town all the better, cause there's less chance that people are buying nook colors with any sort of regularity, so you're more likely to be able to get older stock.
Try craigslist. I've found some as cheap as $135. Some people got them as gifts and ended up getting Ipad
So they sell them cheap. Still in the box.

I got mine new/sealed in the box off Craigslist. Never saw a new/sealed one lower, but still.
If you don't mind a refurb Overstock.com has them for $225
But first go to overstock.com/coupons and click on the $12 off link so you get $12 off costing you only ~$216 shipped.
I would have linked to the pages except I don't have enough posts do that yet!
There was a better deal floating around with Overstock.com however the coupon code stopped working last time I checked. This is what I did and my NC should arrive Thursday.

The topic was refurbs, which B&N sells for.......
Ended up getting it through Walmart. Worked out best anyways, as their protection plan was half of what BB & B&N were ($20 vs $45 & $50)
Also try slickdeals.net...they recently had refurbed nooks for $180.

I ordered one of these yesterday...can't wait to get a NC and flash CM7 on it!
Just ordered one! Can't wait to put CM7 on it. Thanks for the discount code!
Thanks for the code. Bought a new one from B & N for my son, and had a blast putting CM7 and OC to 1325 Mhz. Very usable and fun device.... I want one for myself!
Was thinking maybe I'd wait for a cool Honeycomb tablet ... after price drops. But after looking at some reviews and PRICE$, why wait? For someone who moves around, 10" is too big.
Was kind of looking for one on craigslist or something, but this works great!

Nook or Tab?
Not sure if that tab requires some kind of activation or not? Read some reviews/videos lastnight comp Tab vs. Nook and the tab usually wins on most based on "out of box" exp. Don't think they had the latest tweeks on the nooks though. And most where comparing the Tab wi-fi only which is actually downgraded frim 3G one in a few ways.
Can live fine w/ GPS tether, no camera. Get by without actual buttons ok. Better dev here and build quality, and I'm getting used to the dpi and actually like it.

AT&T is selling a refurbished galaxy tab for $250, no contract. The only requirement is you have to buy a month of service, which can easily be canceled and refunded with a polite call to AT&T customer service.
My conclusion: DON'T BUY THE WIFI VERSION. Just don't. It is a scaled down version of the cellular version. So for the same price as the wifi one, why not? Also, both the nook and galaxy tab have great hacking communities so ROMs are plentiful in both cases, it just depends on whether the spec bump is worth it.

I received mine last week and registered it at Barnes and Noble. Then I received an email saying that I could buy the extended warranty, which covers breakage.
I stopped by BN last night and was told that you have two weeks from date of purchase to pick up the two year warranty. For $55 it sounds like a good deal to me!!!
Just curious if anyone with a refurbished nook has noticed any screen defects like dust under the screen or stuck pixels. I know I went through 4 nooks with screen defects before I got one without any problems. I know others have had similar issues. Wondering if a lot of these refurbished nooks are these returned ones.

It comes with the original box!!!!! Win!
It might be worth getting if it stays cheap, because we all know that the market for replacing the digitizer on popular phones is pretty fast to start offering parts or repairs, might be able to fix it for $20-$30.
The display is fused to the glass, so fixing that would mean a new display/digitiser/front-glass unit. That's going to be costly.
Might be worth a few bucks as a spare battery, but LiIon degrades just sitting on the shelf, so not really worth keeping one lying around.

Aah, I keep saying I need to look at the tear-downs... Yeah.. Although if you somehow brick the device, that mobo could be worth more than $40ish if it doesn't go too high
Already at $31 + 10$ shipping
were esiantse
Droid VNC server works on the N7 (with root); just confirmed. I did the same a while back with a Bluelight special.
If the broken glass/digitizer can be removed without damaging the display, it could be turned into a very nice wifi digital picture frame with lots of storage.
Google sells additional Nexus 7 Chargers at $25. That' easy money.
And if all else fails, for $50 sell that 16GB eMMC to someone who regrets going with only 8GB. Big money. I'm kidding. :laugh:
I was thinking it could be used as a media center for music in my BBQ area xmbc.., it would be nice to have 2 seperate xmbc setups in the house, one on the main media center and one just for out the back, it could mount the files on the other media center via UNC... BID!

Technically speaking, "Somebody" is a singular noun, and "their" is a plural possessive determiner. They don't really match. So it should be "Somebody... his/her..."

You are incorrect. The usage of "their" to show ownership of an object belonging to an unspecified or unknown gender, such as "somebody", is a proper sentence structure.

If he's your best friend, just give it to him for free. If he's a good friend, $165 is a good price, I just bought one for that price. If he's a crappy friend, $180-$200 depends on the condition of the phone. I would only pay $200 for a Nexus S if it has original box, accessories, and at least 9/10 condition though. Just make sure its a one time payment only.

Buy from XDA or Swappa, avoid ebay for used phones if you can unless there are lots of photos and a detailed description, speaking from experience here.
I snagged one up on ebay for 120 they have been going for less nowa days. 150 wouldn't be bad..
That is a bit low for a good quality GSM version, I can understand the Sprint version being that low.

Really I love this phone but I just picked one up for $75 on Craig'slist. Its my second nexus s4g because my last ones power button died. But let's be honest the hardware is being pushed to its limit and for the same $165 with some searching you could find a galaxy nexus. Like I said I love this phone and wouldn't trade it for anything but the price is kinda high.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
I think you should give him this at 165$ because he will feel glad and There's noot mych Difference between 165$ and 200$.Business with the whole world but not with your Friends...So Give him this at 165$ and he would get happy Too.Now all Depends On You.
i think 165$ is fine, in my country the used nexus s (97-98%) with box and accessories is only 150$ because it's m200s :good:
i think that 165 $ are a good price! in Italy Nexus S is sell at 179€
Good is good...but with 80$ plus you can find the Galaxy Nexus so if you have to sell it 165$ is a good price
I plaid $40 for mine, 2 weeks old from my friend, just the phone though.

The CDMA (Sprint) version is way cheap, but the GSM is easily $150. I just spent the last couple weeks shopping for one and, yes, the bidding IS ruthless. You will be VERY hard pressed to find a good condition GSm Nexus S for less than $150. It's not impossible, but you would have to have the cash on hand and be very patient.
What you will not find, though, is even a Sprint version for $60. Well, not one that works anyways.

Just give up, lol.
Bottom line:
4G > Cheap. Nobody wants CDMA phones
GSM > Not cheap. Nexus S still selling very well as decent replacements
Even similar phones, Galaxy S for instance, will share similar pricing.
