Where to sell my captivate?

I have a captivate which i recently got exchanged for a new one under warranty and since i have an upgrade pending i am gonna get some other android.
Any suggestions on where and how to find a good resale value? I went to one local flea market and they offered $120 which i believe is low. Please advise

You could check out eBay and CraigsList for price comparisons of units in the same condition as yours.
You could check gazelle.com...they buy gadgets.
You could ask at the place you buy your next phone to see if there's a trade-in value. My wife got a free flip-phone when we signed up, then got jealous of my Captivate. So we hit a store to see if she could upgrade. She got a $30 credit for the free flip-phone. Add in the $18 fee for early upgrade, and she walked out with a Motorola Bravo for $38.
And if you decide the money isn't a big deal, you could always donate it to a developer who needs guinea pig devices for mod/rom development. I'm sure you could find a taker or two in this forum.

eBay is probably the highest return, even after counting the ridiculous fees and such.

thanks for the reply guys. I will give craigslist a shot and see how it goes.
Thanks again

Try Craigslist and remember that the value of your phone is less ask for a reasonable price and be patient you can also try trades

Nexus 4 on eBay

Hey guys,
Just wanted to share:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Google-Nexu...ocked-GSM-Phone-4-7-True-HD-NEW-/181030542181
I just bought one, price is lower than most of sellers, only 1 left! Hopefully I like it more than my s2! :good:

that's expensive D:

You are an idiot for purchasing that. Sorry.

I cannot buy off of Play store, or from local stores, since im from South America.
It was not a bad deal, I sold my s2 for $400 =D

Damn I sold my s2 for 260 with accessories, you got a great deal

A lot of people on ebay are profiting like crazy because they were able to buy like 6-7 phones. Sucks for us users that either got on the back order list or didn't get one. Google should have limited to 1-2 phones per address. If you cant buy locally then thats fine.

If I wasn't able to get mine from the play store I would have paid up to 450 for the 8 and 600 for the 16

Yea, I got a prime for it, but it is always the same. The phone I owned before my s2 was a bb torch (1st gen) which I sold for $380 and bought the s2 for $420. You'll be amazed on how much we pay for techology devices over here (Ecuador).
The s3 is around $900 atm, lol, (with contract for 1-2 years)

lol, it is not mine, thought this info was probably important for some.

Hopefully you do not have an issue with it. As soon as Google has them back in stock these greedy eBay sellers will wither away..
Kind of ticks me off that Google did not set limits or if they did they set them too high.

Issue as...?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app

Issue as your phone being damaged or not working..I don't believe Google honors a warranty made to someone else which leaves LG meaning you would most likely be without a phone for weeks.
You have to ask yourself if out would be better to wait a week or two or pay more and take a risk. Keep in mind that when ever we buy like this from these people it only encourages them to do it more.

BS "8 available / 27 sold"
It looks like some were able to order a lot more. I think this is total BS! It would have been awesome if no one would buy one off of ebay for these ridiculous prices and let the seller be stuck with them.

WHY?
You just got ripped off buddy

500.00 on Ebay is a fair markup. You figure the phone from the Play store will be around 375.00 - 400.00 after tax and shipping. The seller will make a 100.00 to 125.00 profit.

Not even that much. You have to factor in eBay costs and PayPal costs. I recently sold a pair of ice skates and I got hit with over $40 in fees.
So you figure my 16g n4 came to me for around 400 from Google. That means in order for someone to make any profit they need to sell it for at least 450.
With that being said posting it for $500 is not unreasonable. They are making like $50-60 bucks profit. I think that's fair for the effort of posting it etc.... I loath the people selling it for $800+ however. Just my .02

i think people who bought massive amount of the phone solely for flipping deserves to burn in hell.

[Q] Price matching

Hey guys, trying to get the new note, without a contract. Anyone know the lowest cash price? I managed to get my 2 for ~650 shortly after it came out.

Check craigslist, some people are selling them for 550 to 600.

I buy from Craigslist all the time. Ask him to come to AT&T store and do the transaction there. Have a store rep help you swap the phones.

That's great advice.

I got mine from Amazon for $724.99. It's a prime eligible item also. It should be arriving today. Woo hoo!!! It's not a great price reduction considering that that is what the AT&T store had them listed at. At least I didn't have to pay tax or shipping. But AT&T said they would only sell me one if I bought a Galaxy Gear also. Ridiculous

I bought mine from Amazon as well with no problems. 725USD
(And I had an E970 Optimus G as my previous phone. Are you me? )

I got best buy to match my local corporate stores price at 724.99 make sure to mention your buying it out full and they should match it. If your not wanting to wait for it to ship.

I went to an At&t store to preorder the phone, they "couldn't let me just buy the phone outright (even thought the website has the option to) I preordered my note 3 from on the next program (which is pretty much still a contract in my opinion). With next you can pay off the phone anytime, so as soon as I picked it up from the store I paid it off.
I paid $665 total and had paid the tax when I went into preorder $42.
So about $707 total, which is much better than paying $724 without tax included.

Price drop

For those waiting on a better price, Amazon and Best Buy have the Galaxy Gear for $239.

I got mine for Christmas and best buy honored the exchange refund. It was originally purchased at BB.
Best buy website says original price is $299.99 and on sale. It doesn't say the sale price but it is there.

Craigslist my friend. Bought my mint condition Moto X from someone for only $180 about two months ago that included a incase snap case(worth $30) and the Motorala skip(worth $15).

I was able to get $60 off yesterday.

Buy one from Republic Wireless for $299 every/any day.
This only works if their service works for you. And you only have 30 days to try it out. There is no call center and you are expected to use WiFi where it is available. And don't ding up the phone if you expect to get a full refund -- minus $10 shipping -- on it. (On a serious not, as opposed to most of my post here, their RMA contractor actually does look at returned phones under a lighted magnifier.)
Would you be willing to pay $5, $10, $25, or up to $40 a month for service though? Especially with no contract?
On top of that they are only rated number two in the PC Magazine poll for best carrier.
Maybe just skip it.
