[WANTED] T-Mobile Leo box

Does anyone wish to part with their T-Mobile HD2 box? I have all the stuff that was in it, but I don't have the box itself anymore (stupid dog). Would anyone be willing to trade for it? It doesn't really matter to me what you prefer, I'm just OCD enough to trade a battery for a box to have the whole set together.
I am offering to trade a new Leo battery for the T-Mobile box in good condition. PM me to make a deal. I will not discuss these things in the open forum. A new battery for a useless box is a good trade, no?

LOL. I knew someone would ask. I've got ORD pretty bad, but that's nothing compared to my OCD. I just like to have all the stuff together with the devices I have for future storage mostly. A stupid little dog ate my box.

I got a box how much are willing to put? 30$?

$30 for just a box? No, but thanks anyway. You also aren't active enough in the community for me to trust you with my personal information. I'm not trying to be rude, that's just how it is.

I'm in Tampa FL. Pay for shipping and you can have mine but the insert is missing since I was using it to hold phone parts. Its just a box to me so you don't have to pay me for it, just shipping cost
Sent from tin can with string.

I'll sell you my box. but instead how about i put it on Amazon.com to make it legit? I'll sell for fifteen dollars.

Are either of you offering the T-Mobile box?

I am pretty sure I still have the boxes that mine came in ( 2 phones ). In Houston. Let me see what the postage is on the thing and if you want it it's yours.
And for the people who are trying to sell a box? WTF where has help your neighbor gone?

I'm very grateful to both of you. I'm only asking if it is the T-Mobile version of the box. I am more than willing to put up the shipping costs. I thought I had sent out PMs to you guys about it. Sorry if it didn't go through.

yea I have the box. pm me if you want to talk

how about $15? i have a box

What does a community mean to you?
First of all, thank you guys for offering your boxes. Secondly, if you wish to help me out, please do it in a PM, as I would rather not discuss this in the open forum. Thirdly, I don't understand why some of you are so set to profit off of a box. I don't mind paying to have it shipped. That is absolutely not a problem, but I would never dream of trying to sell a box to another user on this forum, let alone make a profit on something so trivial. I don't mean to complain about the generosity, but come on. Would any of you pay $15, $20, or $30 plus shipping for a box? So far these are the offers I have received. I have sent PMs to a couple of others who were generous enough to offer their box for merely the cost of shipping, but haven't received a reply from them just yet.
To give an example, I received a bunch of screen protectors from a certain company. I only ordered one of them, but I was sent 15 for some reason. Instead of selling them all, I figured it would have been nice to offer them to the community here for only the cost of shipping. As it turned out, I found a book of stamps I didn't know I had and got a pack of envelopes for $1, so I decided to refund the minute amount that I had asked for in the first place. I wound up giving and shipping them all for free. Here was the thread, if you were wondering.
I'm not asking anyone else to do the same thing. I know that shipping a box is considerably more costly than a forty cent stamp. I said I was willing to pay the shipping cost and even a small amount for the time spent on this. I simply feel that it's wrong to send me PMs with things like, "I will sell it to you for $20 plus the shipping cost. That is my offer. If you don't like it, then ask someone else." That was a direct quote from a PM sent to me by a certain user here after I asked him why he felt the box was worth so much.
The point is that this is a community of users. I'm not saying anyone has to do this. I'm asking the community to lend a hand to someone. I don't think it's too much to ask that other users not try to rip each other off here. And if it is, then perhaps this isn't the same site I once knew.

The T-Mobile one is black instead of white, and has T-Mobile branding on the side, as far as I remember.

I like my T-Mob box as it's black & beautiful. I would never sell it for $20.
Like OP I like to keep box for accessories & device Retirement storage
Someone will come up trumps so don't worry.
Will people sell a box for $20? Um yes, keep an eye on CrimeBay (eBay to the too trusting), they can make good money lol

My phone depreciated in value more quickly than my computer.

I remember back when I sold my N95 after two years of ownership I got about 60% of the purchase price back.
I bought my HTC HD2 T9193 for about $550 a little over a year ago. You could say the more generic T8585 (int'l version) went for maybe $450. I'd probably be hard pressed to get more than $200 for it now even if it were in immaculate condition. That's 36% of what I paid after just a little over a year, or 44% if you consider it tantamount to the more common variant.
I have an Intel Core 2 Quad system that I built for around $600 total. Parting it out, I made about $400 back after over two years of ownership. That's 66% of what I paid.
My i7-920 was purchased at launch for $290 and change. I got $150 for it pretty easily -- still over 50% over three years later.
I guess what I'm rambling about is that mobile phones are moving really fast technologically. The competition is great and it's awesome to see yesterday's high-end become stupidly affordable now for pretty much anyone.
It seems the only smartphones that hold their value nowadays are iPhones, and that's only until the next incremental generation is announced. Once 1280x800 phones become the norm even the venerable Samsung Galaxy S II will probably be worth chump change.
I'm never going to pay more than $300 for a new smartphone (unsubsidized and contract-free).

I've had my captivate almost a year now.
It is probably worth half of what it was then.
Doesn't really bother me at all honestly.. I wanted to get the best tech I could and the atrix was still unreviewed.. so I got the best I could and have no regrets.
I wanted something that had great organizational abilities and to be able to play a few games.
Couldn't be happier still with ics rom running oses that aren't even released yet.
The rat race is for rats who can't research a device, and then be happy with it.
I made sure there was great 3rd party dev support upfront and I couldn't be more pleased.

a $600 phone worth less than $300 after only 8 months
welcome to the android world

Value is subjective. It only becomes an issue when market forces are called into play. For instance, my car is worth more to me than it is in the market. If i crashed it, my £2000 car would get back £1000 from Insurance, and an equal replacement would cost me £3000.
A new car will lose 80% of it's 'value' after a 20% of it's useful life.
If you want value for money you buy old, and keep it until it's dead. Early adopters get the worst economy, whether tech or cars.

Dirk posted some words of truth that are pretty priceless.
Another great option is to buy "recertified" type things.
I got an "open box" set of headphones that came with manufacturer warranty. MSRP was 360$. Average price new was roughly 260$.
I found them for 170$.
Always pays to do some research and find out what your options are.. sometimes you can get it "new" almost half off if you read the fine print of "open box."
Early adopters always get screwed though.. not just in cost.. Highest chance of malfunction ect ect.
Also.. especially in the phone world.. a lot of "upgrades" are really more flash than substance. Something else to keep in mind is that computers are stationary.. less likely to be dropped and whatever else.

Damn you Dirk! I was gonna do a car analogy.
Guess I'm stuck with this point instead.
The HD2 was, and still is, a MASSIVELY popular device. That has a huge effect on the market as everyone's 18 or 24 month contracts have come to an end so ebay is flooded with the things. You stick a "buy it now" price that you think is fair and you get some rich arse who doesn't give a toss and starts bidding at 1p, with no reserve. You can't compete with that.
This is just one of the many reasons why your phone was worth diddly-squat. I bought a HD2 on the UK release date for just under £500. I sold it 18 months later for £200 to a guy that made me feel like I'd just pimped my daughter when he asked me "So what's this Android software that's on it?"
There's plenty of other reasons, but this is one. Sad but true.
Edit: Incidentally, the guy I sold my HD2 to was holding an iPhone when he answered the door. I didn't just pimp my daughter out. I pimped her out to a serial killer.

Weird I know, but economics would suggest that the market value is much closer to what you paid for the device.

purchased galaxy nexus

just wanted to make a rant/rave thing.
just purchased the galaxy nexus off the google play store (lol play store) for about $392USD.
:crying::crying: tax sucked! $32 dollars for NYC
first time i spent this much for a phone, it was almost unjustifiable.... if i wasnt selling my old beloved nexus one for 150-ish. so i guess technically i am spending only about $240 out of my pocket, which isnt so bad if you look at it that way.
..... right? what do you guys think?

Stop f***ing moaning. That's what I think.
You can obviously afford the money or you wouldn't have bought it. We can't order the Nexus phone from Google here in the UK, so we end up paying way more to get it from another source if we want it.
If you weren't happy with the cost then you should have stuck with your old phone

Look on the bright side: your tax dollars go to the state which "might" come back to you someday.

The price you paid for what you got is dirt cheap. I can't believe how little Google is charging for them, off contract. I bought one for my wife when they were still $399 and I have no regrets, that was a steal too.

I paid almost $700 for mine from handtec when they first came out and I bought 2. I could have purchased 5 total with the prices now. With the next nexus I might not be so quick to get, I think I'll be able to wait a few months for prices to come down....hopefully.
Google should really sell the next nexus for $400 straight from play store. They would kill the market for sure.

What do I think? It's the best bang for your buck. And honestly, if you're using it while on contract, you're wasting your money. Contracts are a thing of the past. Take it to T-Mobile's $30 5GB, unlimited text, 100 minute plan or to Straight Talk's $50 unlimited everything (runs on AT&T or T-Mobile, whichever you choose). Don't forget you have a pentaband phone, which is rare even nowadays.
I paid $575 out of pocket (after trade-in credits from Amazon) for my Galaxy S III i9300, so don't complain.

Nexus 5 - Best Buy Price Match - Share your story!

New Nexus 5 owner here. I was a Nexus 4 owner until yesterday. I sold the N4 (8GB) to my co-worker for $200.
Well... I went yesterday to my local Best Buy (Laredo, TX) and went to the Mobile section and this (pretty) lady was at the desk. I told her that I wanted to get a Nexus 5 without a contract, cash. She took the keys and opened a drawer behind her and took the N5. I asked her for the price and she told me it was $450. So, I opened the browser on my phone and searched the N5 on the Google Play Store and told her that Google was selling the phone for $350 and if it would be possible for them to price match the phone. She told me that it was possible. She took my N4 and verified the information. She called the manager (a rocker-tattooed kinda guy) and he authorized the price match. They have to put the store to be matched as Other.
Success!
My recommendations. Be polite. Just act casual and don't be nervous.
Share your stories!

best buy is the only retailer i know that matches the online price of any product. i didnt know the nexus 5 was sold in stores.

Yes, they do match prices of other online stores, but the list of the stores they match is limited. The Google Play Store is not included, so, this is why the price match of the Nexus 5 is YMMV.
From Best Buy:
"Amazon.com, Apple.com, Bhphotovideo.com, Crutchfield.com, Dell.com, Frys.com, hhgregg.com, HP.com, HomeDepot.com, Lowes.com, Newegg.com, OfficeDepot.com, OfficeMax.com, Rakuten.com Shopping, Sears.com, Staples.com, Target.com, TigerDirect.com and Walmart.com. We will match prices between our stores and BestBuy.com®. We will also match prices post purchase if we lower our price within 15 days of your purchase."

Try to flirt or something with the BB employee. I think I did that inadvertently.

Worked for me in Madison Heights, MI Best Buy. Picked up a 16GB Black and sold my 32GB black I had purchased from the PlayStore. I did not need the extra space as I still have 10gb free on my 16gb.
Comes with a Sprint SIM in the phone but no SIM tool, so just used a pin, popped it open and put my AT&T SIM in and have been using it since.
$370.99 out the door after MI 6% tax.

Comes with a Sprint SIM in the phone but no SIM tool, so just used a pin, popped it open and put my AT&T SIM in and have been using it since.
$370.99 out the door after MI 6% tax.

Nice.
When did you get it? I got it yesterday at 7:00 p.m. approximately.

If you can price match the phone at Best Buy, it is a way better deal than getting it from the Play Store. You don't have to pay shipping and you don't have to wait!

Back on November 20th, I believe (receipt is at home) . I had to stay late for an evening meeting and stopped by BB after reading some posts about people PM to BB on another forum. Took all of 3 minutes or so. Manager came over to authorize the $100 price match to online price with no questions.

Its always a gamble......HaHa, see what I did there?

I got Best Buy to price match the day it came out. They didn't really give me any issues. Yes, there is a list of sites they price match, but if it is a reputable site, they don't really care. I also had a $100 BB gift card for switching my electric company, and I sold my N4 for $200. My out of pocket cost was like $70 after taxes..

Now that's a good deal. Hopefully N5 retains a good resale value in a year or 2 as well.

Got a second one for my girlfriend (secret Christmas present) today, price matched at the same store.

Not nexus 5 related, but last year I was able to buy to S3s for 2¢ using price match off an Amazon deal...

Not that awesome,lol. But I did go with sprint and just recently cancelled. They waived my etf by returning the phone, which was a cracked screen disaster. So it was sorta like contract free...:victory:

I'd go in person and say the same thing. When the sales associate won't listen, ask to talk to the manager. Say the same thing to him. When he won't listen, bring up the Play Store, and go to technical specs. At the same time, go to Best Buy's site or Sprint's site and go to technical specs (whichever will show the ACTUAL specs; BB's site doesn't seem to go into too much detail). Then just Google "Nexus 5 versions" or "Can unlocked Nexus 5 be used on Sprint?" and show the results. Basically show them that everyone knows that the devices are identical except them.
Of course, showing them that is no guarantee that they'll honor the price match. As this whole thread states, YMMV when it comes to them price matching.

How my Best Buy Preorder Went Down

So I went into my Best Buy Store today at around 2PM PST to preorder the new S6 Edge and wanted to share with you all my experience on how everything went down and some things that might dissuade you from going to Best Buy to preorder.
So when I asked what color I could get, the rep said only Black or White, no gold or green unfortunately. I asked if it's just this Best Buy but she said that it's for every Best Buy location. I said ok and decided to get the AT&T 32GB White S6 Edge. To preorder, I needed to put down a $50 deposit that comes in the form of a $50 Best Buy gift card. You get the gift card right there and when you come in to pay for the device when it's out, you can use the gift card towards the purchase of the phone or buy a case or something if you want.
As for the free wireless charger promotion that Best Buy is holding, I could only preorder it in black, no white or any other color.
Preordering the phone itself took around an hour by the way because of all the technical difficulties in their systems. The rep told me I was the 4th person to come in today to preorder so it's not that hot in my neighborhood but seeing as how the system wouldn't work for a while, I suspect that it's a really in demand device in a lot of other locations. I also couldn't get my preorder in the for the wireless charger due to the same technical difficulties, and so instead of waiting even longer, she decided to just take my number down and keep trying on her own time and call me back when it goes through.

I ordered online at best buy and got the Edge 64gb from AT&T on the next plan and got the black charger for free. The thing I don't understand is I only got charged $38.66?! I thought I was going to have to pay tax on the full retail price?! Can anyone shed some light on this for me.. I tend to miss things like this.

That's strange, you usually pay tax on the full retail price. Would it be possible to post a screenshot of the order confirmation without your personal info on it?

Hmm, weird.
Got a text from my buddy that Best Buy was in fact taking pre orders for Verizon today and not the 1st. So, I went in after work and it took a whole 10 minutes to get the 64gb Edge in black along with the black wireless charger pre ordered. Went really smooth, and the employee explained everything to me while doing it all. No hiccups in the system or anything like that.

Well what state do you live in?
I'm in Cali and had to pay $70 for the 32 gb edge model.

Missouri. I paid like $70 for my wife's note 4.

I too placed my order with BestBuy. Went with the black Edge version for Verizon. Oddly enough, my store here in Miami was having some system issues as well, and the experience took long, but not bad due to having great conversations with the employees. I did get the free charging pad as well, but it had to be done as a separate transaction from the phone, and that again took some time due to system error. The employee just had me walk around the store till the transaction was complete, and he would just come find me, which he did.
All in all it was not a bad experience, just took forever to complete. If you're in a rush, then yes avoid BB till the system error is fixed. It could have just been first day hiccups, but who knows? If you do decided to go with BB for the free charging pad, make sure you have some time to stick around just in case...

Ordered mine off of BestBuy.com.. Got the Edge 64GB on AT&T on Next 20, $915 Total Price, divided into $45.75 a month. 12 Installments, then S7 lol.
I am actually a BB Employee and I chose to do it online as I know our in store systems are garbage and I didn't want to take a chance.
We also had it on display and the phones ran SMOOTH. I really hope AT&T doesn't botch it with their useless Bloat! The Camera launches in half a second like they have claimed and I really do think Samsung got the design right on both.

That order confirmation could not be more vague lol. The only thing to say is to contact Best Buy but you probably already thought of that. Did you check your bank account by any chance to see if a deposit of some sort went out? I had to pay a $50 deposit for mine so it could be like $50 + $38(due later).

Yeah I did go to best buy last night and I showed them but they didn't know why either. They said I have a confirmation # so I'm good. Checked the bank account and nothing. I guess I will find out for sure when it comes in..

I paid $64.05

Went to best buy and got two on verizon. One edge and one regular. Only cost the 50 gift card for each and got the 2 wireless chargers pre ordered as well. Went pretty smooth for me. He said they where having issues with verizon though because they had to find a loophole since Verizon isnt officially doing it until the first. I wanted the gold but I got to play with a black and I like it so I am happy. They also said if I do edge I will only pay about 130 for the two phones when i pick them up and will get $28 off of each $40 line a month that basically covers the edge payment if I go with the 10gb shared family plan. Sounds like a good deal. Then i can edge up for the The sgs7 or the m10. Whichever is better. This will be my first sammy device since the m9 is falling short this year.

Anyone have any experience with BestBuy and ATT next program. I currently have a phone on the ATT next program, which if I pay $96.00 I can then trade in the phone on that program to get another on a next program. The question I have is am I able to keep my current phone even after preordering in store at BestBuy until the Galaxy S6 Edge is officially released and I can pickup. I don't have issue with waiting until release, but don't want to be without my current phone until release of S6. Hope someone can shed some light on it.

Yes you keep your phone until you pick up your new one and sign the new next contract. After you get your S6 tho I'm not sure how you get your old phone back to AT&T.. I pre-ordered mine thru BB online so when it's shipped to me I go into the store and sign the next agreement and pay the taxes on it and get it activated.

Does the wireless charger promotion only apply to devices being purchased through an upgrade? Because I don't want to use my upgrade for this one but the wireless charger would be nice. Also I wonder if they'll price match AT&T. because AT&T is selling the edge for 815 and not 850 like best buy is claiming.

Yes you get the charger even if you buy the phone off contract.

Once you pick up the phone, Best Buy has "return kits" they give you. Should give you a box and prepaid shipping label so that you can return your phone to AT&T. This gives you a chance to get your stuff moved over to the new device and all that jazz. Pretty straightforward process, and when my dad upgraded this way, a lot easier than I thought it would be.

Any of the Best Buy preorders shipping?

I haven't seen anyone saying they have. I'm checking my email every day and hoping.
