If you don't really need anything right now just save it until you have an idea. I don't know about your situation and if you're going to college and if financial aid/parents/etc will cover your costs - but that $300 will be eaten up very quickly and it's fantastic to be able to start saving before you get there if you're not getting "all expenses paid and more".
Of course, it's always nice to treat yourself! You said no phones, but what about something cheap like a Nexus One ? Buy that, save the rest. You will find a smartphone VERY useful for college, especially if you will be moving out and doubly so if you're going to be in a new area. Learn to use it now and be ready!

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.

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.

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.
Has anyone ever done this before in here? I'm tempted to do one. I can afford it right now but just the thought that it's a waste of cash is bothering me . Part of me also says, you only live once...enjoy it. Dilema is killing me.
The catch, in a little over a year from now I should be able to buy what I want to rent but I am itching for this instant gratification.
So question is...would you do it? Secondly, has anyone done this before? If so, how did it turn out for you.
I'm toying with either a Dodge Viper or 6th generation Corvette...although likely Vette due to cost differences to rent.
Well if you can afford it it can be fun but think about it for the same price what could you do as fun and that it worth the money ?
Whatever your decision may be and if you do it make sure to drive the car to its limit

OK so to add to the Saga of f**k ups by Google, Managed to order 2 phones (one for me and one for my brother) ordered 2x16gb and received 2x8gb. Rang Google to play hell with them and they basically told me that I either return them and wait up to 4 weeks for stock to come in or take the hit and pay £279 for 8gb. This is totally unacceptable but what else can I do?? I sold my S3 when i got my order accepted. :crying:

Edit:I apologize for being an ass
thats sucks! well if i were you, i would just send it back and get the 16! and from then till now just use a chippie phone until it arrives... but what an inconvinience

Well, I hate to be posting this in a topic I have no idea if it will fit here. But I am looking for answers before i take a dive. I've been emailing this dude on Backpage and have been thinking about going through with a deal for a T-Mobile Note 2 for 350. Which honest to god seems too good to be true.I went on there because I heard that you have to pay for a membership to get in and I figured, why would this guy have a membership and be able to legally scam people if he wasn't legit? He's also telling me to go through Google Checkout and that there will be an email that i have to reply to that says that my payment will be secure and insured. (Obviously, I've never used it before.) Ships from Romania and after I get the package I have 30 days to return it to get my money back.
My question is, Should I go for it? I really need a new phone since my SGS II is having trouble holding a charge and my wife is giving me the ok to go ahead and do it, but honestly, seems too good to be true. He says he has friends in the factory and a contract with UPS to get cheap shipping. :x Help me out guys?

I could become a billionaire if I invest in the right things, but there's only a 50% chance of that happening.

So Strangers, what should I do with my funds?

Exactly. It's less about the individual stocks and more about the overall value. It's not as risky as it sounds although it's always gonna be a gamble.
