Now that I've been successful, thought I'd share:
So I just came up for an upgrade on T-Mobile, and BestBuy.com had the GS3 T-Mobile upgrade for $179.99, so I decided "Why not sell this phone on Ebay while it's still semi-popular and get a S3?"
I called T-Mobile, got an unlock code, reverted to stock ICS, and sold my phone on Ebay for $350. After taxes, ebay+paypal fees, phone purchase+activation fee, I netted about an $80 profit after everything was said and done.
Thanks to all of the developers here for your hard work developing for the ugly stepchild of the SII line! I hope you all do well.

according to some leaked news about the next Samsung and HTC are both making each their own flavour of Nexus 5 phones
the model from Samsung it's going to be slightly inferior to the S3, but slightly better than the S2, and they finally put back the SD card, 4.8" display, slightly faster CPU as the previous Galaxy Nexus, the rest is vanilla
HTC is going to release a 5" version with supposedly 1080 display, instead of 720
it'll be interesting the kind of mess and confusion we'll see when both hits the market
Hey I think after selling my phone outright on eBay for that much I would of just found someone on Craigslist and purchased SIII outright and kept my upgrade intact. That's how you flip 'em.... Good job though and congrats

I somewhat agree with this i did the same. Sold my s2 for $320, was going to be $340, but i was a no show because of urgent matters and i gave the guy $20 discount for his troubles. Anyways bought the s3 for $400. So i paid $80 for an upgrade.
Now if you guys haven't heard. T-Mobile and asurion is cracking down on insurance fraud especially for s3. It doesn't matter if it's lost or stolen. From 1 week to 3 months, the s3 will be blacklisted if it was filed for insurance claims.
How did i reassure my purchase, I actually bought mine from the guy's house, he is actually buying the note to help him transition to the note 2. He was a really stand up guy. I asked him to hold the phone for me, and he did for 2 days. Other buyers were inquiring about it constantly but kept his word (note: the average price for s3 around my area is $450, so it's cheaply priced). He was the one who brought up insurance fraud and stuff, and he was saying how people ask him about that and he told me that's just dumb that people do that just for some quick cash. Told me not to worry that i have his number and knows where he lives so just give him a call or anything is wrong with the phone. Really cool guy, i can tell he's a phone junkie like the rest of us.
Tl:dr; insurance is blacklisting s3. If buying from CL get the guy's ID, address etc, you can judge his character, if it's sketchy, don't bother.

Lol it is, the s2 is generally selling for about 250-280 on average around my parts. So it's even better that i can sell mine for above average and buy something below market price lol.
The benefits of keeping your phone in good condition with all the box and accessories. Plus matching imei number and under warranty until february by samsung. Not sure if it carries over on T-Mobile though.
See you over on the s3 side soon lol.

I'm assuming you're kidding the s3 is fairly identical on all the major carries (besides lte capabilities). I definitely miss my Hercules but thankfully it didn't go far my girlfriend and have our upgrades staggered so I always get the new phone and she gets the hand me down. Now I just might have to sell her t989 give her the SIII and boom hello note 2!!
I was thinking of getting the note 2 or the s3 ...in Ghana here the note 2 is 1,590 cedis and the s3 1,450 cedis, so with the current exchange rate of 1$= 2¢edis that will be 725$ for the s3 and 795$ for the note.. but am still not sure as to which one to buy...its not really about the money but which one will be good. In Ghana its very difficult to buy things on eBay, cos you have to pay too much to get a credit card here and still wait forever for you item to be shipped in....have any of you tried one of these?...can you help me select...

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.

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.

Whats weird about the picture lol of the Nexus 4?
I hope no one buys this device from retailers. If anything, retailers sell it for the same price as google will. I'll be purchasing the N4 in the next few months because i feel like they will pull another nexus 7 move and release a 32GB version in the next few months for the price of the 16GB Version. Im still sad about it.
Don't mind the thread. Just a little fun until the device releases.
EDIT: the joke is.. why is there a big *** blue samsung sticker above the phone? And hey, they will sell you a replacement battery for the nexus for since removing the battery is noob friendly for an additional 60$. Whose stoked to buy?

Great retailer...
Samsung LG...Copied + Pasted info from Google Play (notice how it is incorrectly formatted and doesn't fit in the page's margins)...Massively Overpriced...need say more?
The Samsung logo is there on purpose to confuse consumer, people only know two brands, Apple and Samsung, most never even heard the name Android and can't grasp a concept of what an operating system is. So LG and Nexus are not enough buzzwords but a Samsung is. This retailer has horrible ethic.
Hey they're on Devon Ave in Chicago the Indian street...lol. Yeah I wouldn't trust this retailer. All of the electronic stores in that area are pretty fishy...only if you're desperate.
Hahaha SAMSUNG LG GOOGLE
Hope no one buys it
Hey, it has free shipping anyway
But dang, just take a look at the other phones they offer and their prices. I know a iPhone 5 might be a bit pricey, but I'm pretty sure a 16GB model isn't worth $1,099.99 lol; and even a Galaxy Tab 10.1 (which is a bit dated) is worth the same price...

Sorry i meant best buy. I normally buy my phones from best buy off contract because they give us the highest value for our phones. Currently the GS3 is worth 360$ plus 50 gift card sign up promotion they normally do in January plus an additional 50$ gift card for their trade in if you have their protection for a total of 460$ last i have them price match sprint which is 550$ meaning i only have to pay 90$ plus tax. anyone go this route? or simply upgrading?
My local best buy said 230 for s3 in new condition and 699.99 for the HTC and they will not price match for contract phones even tho I'm paying retail. How did you pull that deal?

Wait... what? If you're paying unsubsidized price for a phone, that's not considered a contract phone. You should show them their own policy.
(http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Payment...ee/pcmcat297300050000.c?id=pcmcat297300050000)
I don't think ANY phones via trade-in will surpass the amount that you can get for them selling them individually. Best Buy provides that as a service to customers -- not so people can make money off trading phones in. I would strongly suggest just selling the S3 and buying the phone from Best Buy with the money that you obtain from the sale.
I called a few and they all say they will not price match phones at all. My problem is none of my sprint stores or the main sprint tele sales store will even sell me one unless I add a new line. I've gone to 3 stores in person and they all said it will be a month or so before they will sell the phone at retail price.

You might try asking after the 19th as well, as I know I was told they can't price match during pre-order. But once it's released for sure, they might be able to.
Are you opposed to buying the phone online?

Thats not true. best buy is hurting because now they even price match amazon.com which they NEVER used to do. I dont know who you guys spoke to but its not true. i have receipts to show the last 2 years. i have had the EVO 4G, EVO 3D, Epic 4G touch black and white. EVO LTE, GS3 IN WHITE, THEN OPTIMUS G, GALAXY NOTE 2 THEN BACK TO THE GS3 IN PEBBLE BLUE. So trust me when i say its true. Call a store in atlanta and they will tell you the same. Im actually considering just using my upgrade and getting the additional 200$ on a gift card.

Its 340 not 360 my apologies. Heres a screen shot of the worth of the sprint gs3. But I have doing this since the 1st evo and have never had issues and is always able to get the latest and greatest. Plus my 2 my 50$ gift cards. 1 from a promotion they do in January. The second from having their protection plan and upgrading.

I'm not 100% sure but I remeber reading on the best buy price match policy that since they are now price matching online retailers one of the exclusions was mobile phones. Not sure if this was only for contract phones or all in general.

Can't you just add a line and buy out contract next day?

i would not suggest that as buying it out that early is quite expensive. if your within 2 months of your upgrade i believe its only 50$ and they add it to your bill no up front cost.

I'm not sure about price matching amazon's mobile phone but i know they will do sprints. what they will do is go on sprints website check the retail price and take it from there

I linked BB's price match policy above. It excludes contract mobile phones.

now that i didnt know i used to have the white till i traded it for the optimus G. i think its because the blue is less common than the white. im the only one i know that has the blue. i know at least 15 people with gs3s maybe more and all of them have the white.
Yeah, I checked all the carriers s3's and they are all around 220-260. Only the Blue sprint model is that high

Between a new phone and listening to everything going on in Boston on the scanner, I do not believe that I will be getting any sleep. Going to be thankful for coffee.
