Hi,
Anyone have any idea where I can pick up a new, stock Nexus One in the UK? I lost mine a few months back, and I just can't fall in love with the iPhone4 I replaced it with.
I don't want a Vodafone bastardised one. Needs to be stock, unlocked and unrooted, and I'd like to know if I'm buying AMOLED or LCD ideally.
I know the Nexus S is coming, but I loved the build quality of the Nexus One.
Thanks.
Hey, ive got a IMMACULATE condition nexus one its less then 6 months old bought straight from google america webstore.
I am thinking of getting a iphone4. Would you be interested in a straight trade?
Bought a brand new one on eBay for 320 quid this Thursday. You can get one for 399 "buy it now" or hunt for a better bargain (and wait a little longer).
Thanks for the replies.
Syed, I reckon the iPhone 4 is worth a fair bit more than the N1, so I'll probably flog it on Ebay. Plus i really want a BNIB one.
Cheers.
haha lol woops fair point iphone4 is worth more definately, i meant nexus and cash.
But yeah if your after a totally brand new one then its upto you, all the luck anyway
Hunt in ebay. Close to £260 you'll get BNIB. I paid only 230 back in july.
Bit of a nightmare trying to find what I'm after on Ebay!
I'm after a T-Mobile bands version with AMOLED screen. Most sellers don't bother to say whether it's ATT or T-Mobile, and if the screen is SLCD or AMOLED.
And half don't even bother to say if it's a crappy Vodafone version.
I wish life were simpler! I wish I'd never lost my N1 :-(
Lol bit of a cheeky comment here but if you are interested in even having a look at how new mine looks i could always list some photos up? As i mentions is a defo AMOLED ordered straight from Google so its defo unlocked, etc
I have yet to see someone claim to have bought e-note from ebay? I see prices as low as $670 dollars (US) including shipping yet no one has reported to have bought one from them. what is the risk involved that people are still paying $740 from other places and no one seems to be taking advantage of new g-notes from ebay at cheaper prices?
I think its fear + ignorance which stops more people getting them from ebay. These things are made pretty close to Hong Kong, so its not suprising how cheap they are buying them from there through ebay. ebay used to be fairly shady too, and I think a lot of people still hold the fear of splashing $700 into a site which they may feel unsure about. However, as many of us know these days, ebay + paypal combined is an insanely safe shopping source. Not only is your sale fully ensured, but the amount of turnover most of these stores do, and the ability to access other shopper's comments does make it a really valuable source.
I'll be getting my note from ebay sometime next week (when the pay comes through), but have previously bought my SGS 1, and asus transformer from there, with NO problems, extremely quick shipping, and hundreds of dollars saved. I always recomend it
thanks for the vote of confidence. I am also thinking about getting my g-note next week through ebay.
Just read through the sellers past feedback. You should quickly see if the seller is reliable. Also read carefully through the description to see if it is new/used/damaged or if the title is wrong and they they are selling a 600$ notebook with a photo of a galaxy on it rather than a phone.
I got mine from eBay.
I bought mine from Ebay I paid 720 for it including shipping that was free. That's 2 Weeks ago prices were much higher.
It was a reputable seller and didn't have any issue the phone is running great
I went through 3 SGN's so far.. One from Amazon.de, One from Ebay.de and one from my Country which was the most expensive one but was worth the local warranty reassurance since I'm keeping this one. Received it today.
The second one from Ebay was a German model, no problems, sold it like I did with the first one from Amazon after I played around abit with it.
Anyway ALWAYS read the FEEDBACK! Even if it's a TOP Rated it means NOTHING! It might be a hacked account or a bad TopRated. Better safe than sorry.
Example: Someone is selling some SGN's in a very attractive price. Check the feedback if another person bought and received a Note from the Seller already. If the listing just came up then check it's feedback for some expensive stuff and not 2-3euros worth of items.
If the Seller has low feedback(<30-50) but it's 100% positive and every buyer is happy with him, then sent him a message first and see. He might be just a regular guy selling a Note.
Yes Ebay and Paypal did help me a couple times and they were very helpful, but Scammers will always be around.
Got mine on ebay for $760 about 3 weeks ago when they first came out. It arrived in a few days without any problem. It turn out to be a Polish model with a with a Polish provider branding.
Just rooted & loaded a custom ROM & now all OK.
I love this phone. Absolutely awesome screen.
Got mine from a Hong Kong ebayer with no problem.

So i'm thinking about selling my nexus 6 on a facebook community buy/sell.
I usually give my devices to my family, but its not needed this time so i'm after some opinions on how much i should be asking for.
The phone is 3-4 months old, i lost the reciept recently but its around somewhere... 32GB, bought outright, so unlocked from any network, in perfect working condition. etc, there's just like maybe, 5 to 6 tiny little dints in the screen from keys in pocket :/. You literally cannot feel them, nor see them when the screen is on and takes certain angles to see them when screen is off (thats the only thing wrong with the phone, which i plan on telling on my post). I paid $876 AUD, do you think i could ask for $400-$500?
Opinions? If you were going to resell, what circumstances would you lower the price for & if you were i, how much would you ask for?
amazon is selling the n6 brand new at 399 for the 32gb version, so your $400-500 would be considered a joke, especially a device with a little bit of damage.
@rhystagram,
Your best bet is to go to Swappa.com and look at recent sold prices.

But Amazon is still selling it for much cheaper brand new. Most prospective buyers will look on Amazon first to see what prices are for both new and used.
What local retailers sell them for brand new means nothing when it can easily be attained somewhere else for a cheaper price.
I normally give people hell on those Facebook groups for asking entirely too much for a phone or tablet. Especially if it is used with even the slightest damage.
For instance, a woman was trying to sell a Droid Maxx for almost $400 USD claiming it was new and never pulled from the box, but her pictures clearly showed otherwise because of the damage on the phone and the fact that it didn't have any of the factory protective film on it anymore. The device in mint condition used only goes for about $150.
Basically, it's better to be fair instead of thinking you can charge top dollar for it. Much less troubles in the long run.
Good luck.

I'm sorry, but how is pointing out the proper process for preparing a Nexus 6 for resale completely missing the point? I'm trying to help you avoid future headaches. ???
If you're looking for resale prices, check completed listings on swappa or eBay.

I agree with checking eBay or local buy/sell/trade sites for prices to get a feel for how much it will cost.
Note this, however: Amazon Australia does not sell the Nexus 6 that I can find. It is true that there was a Prime Day deal today in the states for it (pretty sure it's over now), but Prime Day is only for the US site, not for the international versions.
Plus $500 AUD is $368 ish USD.
Mate. Put it on Gumtree. You could likely get around 400 to 450 bucks for it if it is indeed in the condition you say.
I was in the market to replace my parent’s old Galaxy Note 2. So I’ve been searching around for comparable phone that has slight upgrades. My Budget is around $300. Parents need a phone with removable battery and good GPS so I’m limited to the LG G3, G4 and Note 3 and 4. Also wants screen at 5.5 inches or larger. So was concerned to read about this widespread bootloop issue. After reading up on this issue it seems all old models/ will eventually be affected. I usually purchase phones second hand off of eBay or Swappa but in this case It seems I must be very careful as it seems many people are unloading these devices which will eventually fail. Some have sold their devices beforehand because of this and I’m sure as second hand buyers we will inherit/get the issue in time. Also not sure about how warranty works for second hand buyers. I’m with T-Mobile by the way. What do you guys think about buying a G4 right now? Safe bet or stay away? Also if you guys know any comparable devices that meet all the criteria or most let me know. Thanks
I'll throw my two cents in here. I bought an LG G2 about a year ago and loved the LG style of hardware, button placement, and great performance. I had the old upgrade itch rear its ugly head and so I decided the G4 was the phone for me. Generally it wouldn't bother me to buy mint used phones, but I decided in this case I should do some research. I found out about the bootloop issue and decided it wasn't worth the risk (for me). An awesome deal came up on eBay, brand new G4 in box for $348, snapped that up right away, got it yesterday and from my time with it so far I love it. Best phone I've ever owned. Sorry for the long preamble, here's my advice, if you can swing the extra $40 -$50 for a new boxed phone (assuming a deal like that pops up on eBay again) I would say go for it. The extra $50 in my mind is well worth the peace of mind knowing that it has a warranty. I will say that when I was looking at Swappa I saw a lot of like new T-Mobile refurbs for the G4, however I was still a bit hesitant on those because I couldn't find much info on T-Mobile's refurbishment process. You may be more comfortable with T-Mobile refurbs than I was though so something to consider. I hope you find something that will work well!
Thanks for the advice

Yeah the scary part is it seems people are just unloading the phones and you cant really know which ones will have issues later. If i buy new from ebay will i still be covered by T-Mobiles warranty ? I thought to get that you had to buy the phone direct from them ? I will keep looking around to see if any deals come up.

I don't think you'll be covered by T-Mobile's warranty, but you should be covered by LG's manufacturer warranty (I would think anyway) as long as it's new in box. Also a lot of the new supply is likely to be manufactured after the date when they had issues. The issue dates were from months 05-08 of 2015 (from what I've read in the forums). The phone I got from eBay was manufactured in 09 2015 so it should *fingers crossed* be just fine.

your right. Before i buy it ill have to ask the seller a lot of questions like when was it manufactured and whats the serial numbers and such. Will look into LG's warranty coverage for eBay. I think on eBay you can also buy squaretrade coverage as well.

Have had mine since about a week after release last year. Zero problems. Will have it for quite a while longer.
there is a new in box on swappa right now, but the seller says he opened the box to remove the sim. Do phones come with a sim already in place like that?

I'm not aware of any phone that comes with a sim pre-installed.
T-Mobile phones come with an unactivated sim on a punch out card. They are not "installed" in the phone. The Swappa seller is not including this sim in his listing.

Used prices are roughly 300 used so new would cost 500ish but there have been sales that brought the price down to 400ish. Keep waiting and it'll drop even more.

well right now the G4 (H811) is going for $400 (Full Price) and just recently there was a $75 off from $400 but ended already....just wait or if you have $100 more to spare just get it, but i just recommend to wait a bit to see a permanent price cut on the G4 or even the V10.
Hello, im thinking of purchasing my first Android in awhile. im able to get a Nexus 6 64gb sealed for $200. any other options that do not surpass $350 or im i getting a good deal. Any help will be nice.
Don't get those sealed new boxes on eBay. Every single one of them are fake. I bought two and returned both. They are ALL used, refurbished items packaged very meticulously using the clone packaging red paper wrap.
Here is what I did. Looked up on Amazon for deals from Amazon warehouse. That's the only partially more dependable place you can look into for peace of mind. If anyone says, BRAND NEW, simply ignore. Use common sense.
I bought a Like New Cloud White from aforementioned place for 202. Came exactly as advertised. It was stuck on 5.1 from May of 2015. Absolutely unused. I contacted Motorola to see the warranty status. It expired in Feb of last year.
I updated it to the 7.1.1 yesterday and have been happy with my experience of purchasing. Best part? I have 30 days to return this. I'm still in talks with Motorola to give me some sort of warranty on possible future issues ( since I bought it like new from Amazon). Long shot but still...
Stay away from the eBay deals.
In many ways, the Nexus 6 is still a good phone. At a good price, I recommend getting a used one. Of course, you need to like the screen size, and do without a fingerprint scanner.
You will probably need to replace the battery soon. Not expensive, and not too difficult to do yourself if you are careful.
Also, the N6 is 32 bit. Not a problem today, but a few years from now, it may mean that not all new apps can run on the phone.
The Nexus 6 was unveiled on October 2014. Do not believe that after > 3 years there are unused Nexus 6 devices.
I just bought....
I just bought a Nexus 6 in 2018.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/391877228362
Coming from Hong Kong but the seller assured me it will be sealed.
Reasons why I bought it
Stock Android 7.1
High specs
Awesome display
Cheap from this person, ($90 cheaper than Amazon)
sounds good dude make sure its not a china copied one tho sumone on ebay is selling one for a 100 quid
I picked up a certified refurbished off of amazon a few months back for $150. Money well spent!
Swappa or Ebay, used but mint is good enough for $150 for 32gb, IMHO
As much as I love my Nexus 6 it is getting a little long in the tooth. I'm not planning on upgrading until the 2018 pixels come out (if they put Qi back in)
I'd buy a refurb replacement to get me through to October but I have a spare right now so, barring two calamities in the next 9 months, I should be OK.
I bought one from a private seller on fb marketplace for 120$./mint condition, unlocked clean imei three weeks ago. I love it. Running 8.1 nitrogen OS.do it! So much potential!

I bought a new Shamu from someone on the letgo app. I paid $175. In front of the guy I opened the unopened new box, cutting the tape. Put my sim card and it works. Phone, charger everything was wrapped and new. I brought it home unlocked bootloader, twrp, and now running 8.1 I believe I got a sweet deal. I've known never to use eBay. Amazon is sweet for it's return policy on used stuff. but buying from other people is cheaper and you can meet at a public spot and test phone before you buy. With the same app I sold my oneplus 5t for $450 prior to buying this Shamu today. I've had this phone and I just had to come back to it for the right price. Well I live in Chicago so there's someone hustling stuff. Just shoot an offer, low ball and you might get a decent price. Yeah, buying this phone in 2018 is still good.

A new phone needs to be charged before it can be used.
@NLBeev: A new device will come with a partially charged battery, roughly 40 to 50%. He'll want to top off the battery of course, which I think is what you meant to say, but there would be sufficient energy in the battery - even after two years - to power up the device.

Your right, We had to plug it up and wait a few minutes before the screen would power up. I didn't want to go into detail of everything I did...
When I bought my taimen phone last year new in box from Google it arrived and it had a 41% when I powered it on (my fav #). And the OnePlus 5t came with charge also from oneplus. Some newer phones have charge on battery.
With the Shamu I wasn't expecting it to be charged nor have juice to power up.

Seems like a bad idea. for that much money, you could get a new phone.
The shamu is great, but with my SOT being 3 hours or less, I am beginning to hate it. Cant replace battery, which leaves me to hate sealed battery phones even more.
Probably going to get a phone with a replaceable battery, even if it is a dumb phone. I am tired of planned obsolecence. My biggest issue is screen decay. My phone has horrible burn in.
Sure you can replace the battery! I can fix anything that

Sure you can replace the battery! I can fix anything that has to do with the nexus 6. I have owned 4 over the course of 4 years, and I just bought number 5 today. I always leave the N6 for awhile but I always come back to it. I like them because they are very easy to work on. I have had every nexus 6 phone iv owned took completely apart. One of the N6 I owned was midnight blue, well after about 6 months of looking at the same color I decided to change it up a little. So I bought a cloud white back battery cover and midframe assembly, and changed the blue to white, I guess I was wanting a knew phone and by doing that it made it feel new again. If you have a nexus 6 and want to make it awesome looking let me know and I will help you to change its appearance. When it comes to changing parts out of the N6 I'm good at it, don't mean to brag either. It's just something I really like to do. I bet if you change the battery it'll help with your SOT and if you wanna get the most out of your nexus 6, bootloader unlock it and root it, and install a custom kernel or find a good rom. Then download kernel auditor and tweak the CPU. If you wanna change your battery or anything else let me know and I'll help!

The nexus 6 I bought came from eBay, I paid 204 its 32g brand new! But before I bought the device I asked the seller if the device was in fact brand new, and if it came with the manufacturer warranty. He assured me that it was brand new and it did come with the manufacturer warranty, plus It came with a 30 day money back guarantee can't beat that. It's always good if your buying a smartphone to ask them these questions, because that let's them know that you know a thing or two about devices. Most people wouldn't think to ask a seller if a device that they are advertising is new when the description says its new. Just because someone tells you that something is brand new doesn't always mean it is new. You have to do your research and ask questions. I bought a Xiaomi Mi Mix on eBay awhile back. The seller of the mix told me that it was brand new.... Well at the time I didn't think to ask him if it was new or not, it said new in the description so that was good enough for me. When the mix arrived the first thing I was gonna do was unlock the bootloader, but I didn't have to because it was already unlocked, so that tells me that the mix wasn't new it was probably refurbished or something. To make a long story short. I called the seller and told him about the bootloader being unlocked, and if it were new it would be locked. I didn't give the seller to much hassle but I let him know that I wasn't stupid either, I believe he got the message.. I really didn't carw if it was new or not because the device didn't have a scratch on it, if there had of been any signs of use, just one little flaw then I would have shipped it right back to him. I was gonna unlock and root it anyways, just made my job a lot easier. The seller offered me a refund but I refused. I just don't like a liar, be honest with me that's all I ask, but some people just wanna make a dishonest buck.
If you have burn in that'll cost ya around 130 bucks for a new lcd digitizer.. It would probably be cheaper just to go ahead and buy another phone.

Any of these NEW items is not new. Think about it. 2014 device brand new and sealed, no one opened or touched it, flew through scores of virtual and physical space untouched and landed in your lap 4 years later??? yea, pigs fly. I asked Motorola to share the IMEI associated warranty of mine. It said the warranty expired 2017 Feb. I haggled with them about buying it new from Amazon. With some back and forth, I was able to get one year warranty provided I kept the receipt.
So, in short
STAY away from new items of Nexus 6 on Ebay. They are not new. If the price--199--is too good to be true, it is. HongKong ones are even worse...right from the den of counterfeit items.
I went back to N6 because of front facing stereo, HUGE screen (not the fancy 16:9), quad HD, awesome battery, and above all, Pure Android. I am not a narcissist, so I can live with a 2MP selfie camera on this one. Good luck finding all these in one device (unless you are super duper rich and can afford to shell out $920 out of pocket for an unlocked Pixel 2 XL)
Well, today either my usb cable broke, which I doubt, or the charging port of my nexus is dead.
While I could fix both the battery and charging port, in the mean time, I just ordered a Lenovo Moto G5 and a bunch of charging cables. The G5 isnt meant for me, but might aswell get one for myself. Why such a budget phone you ask? It has a removable battery.
The problem isnt the technical skills(Bunch of youtube videos say very precisely how to fix stuff), I lack parts.
Appart from aliexpress and ebay, I know not of any other place to get parts. Im in central europe btw.

Any of these NEW items is not new. Think about it. 2014 device brand new and sealed, no one opened or touched it, flew through scores of virtual and physical space untouched and landed in your lap 4 years later??? yea, pigs fly. I asked Motorola to share the IMEI associated warranty of mine. It said the warranty expired 2017 Feb. I haggled with them about buying it new from Amazon. With some back and forth, I was able to get one year warranty provided I kept the receipt.

Understood! However I did buy a nexus 6 from eBay for 204. I had a good talk with the seller about what kind of warranty I would be getting,and I took screen shots of the messages we had so I could have them for future,if any issues arises. I did get a 1yr warranty. This is what the seller told me. The first 3 months was free repair or a full refund, and he would pay for the shipping. The remaining 9 months covers any kind of damage cracked screen damaged digitizer,dings and dents all covered but no refund offered for the remaining 9 months,and he would still pay to have the device shipped. I love the nexus 6 I have owned several. I also like how easy they are to work on. I had a few midnight blue devices, well I got tired of looking at the blue so I changed the back battery cover and mid-frame assembly to cloud white, I have used the back battery cover from the moto x pure ed 2015 also just to change up the overall look of my N6. I also like the front facing speakers the speaker grills are also replaceable I usually take them out from time to time and clean around the area were the grill snaps in. The device is also very good on battery life, if 7a know how to root and unlock the bootloader. I believe I'll be happy with the device as long as I get what I was promised. My dream device is either the international s8+ or the note 8,but I'm just like you I can't afford spend noore than about 200 ta 250 bucks. I want the international variants because unlock the bootloaders and rooting is a priority for me. Thanks for the reply, have a good one!
