someone bought the one wiht no OS, the others will be posted soon
Hi,
When you listing the other ones? I'm looking into getting one of these.
thanks
Hey guys, ok sorry it took so long, but I now have one xda II posted on ebay under Crimsondie. I cant do Buy now auctions because im new at ebay and I guess I have to sell 10 items before I can do that so I set the price at $600 and made it a short auction. Good luck. :wink:
I'm lost.
Your first account has 18 feedback which means you could do a Buy It Now. But now you switched to an account that has been dead since Jan/Feb or something.
What's the catch? Who on this board has actually bought from you? Can we get testimonials? I think it is only fair since you are selling out of warranty (how can that be when it's only a demo) and old ROM devices.

Hi people,
I want to swop my current xda for an xda mk2 and was just wondering if anyone knew a good way of doing this - I Emailed o2 coustomer support and they said that they weren't operating a trade in at the moment but to check back later. However, i'm impatient ;-). Is there anyone whos traded an xda in with a high street shop or will my best bet to be sell it on ebay? On a sort of related point, has anyone found the cheapest site to buy a new xda2 (with contract, want around a £20-£25 a month one)? The best i've found seems to be;
http://www.e2save.com/e2001/php/matrix/disphandset.php?network=O2&handset=XDA2
on O2 Leisure Time Plus + 100 SMS.
For reference for trade in etc, my XDA is the 64mb version with the latest official o2 ROM, unlocked thanks to the unlock utility from this very site, Good condition (natural wear and tear, marks around the infra red port but still works fine), still got box+manuals+cd+cradle+charger+leather case but not the headset (broke). Comes sim free (still got 1 onth left on 12month min. contract, but willing just to pay that).
Thanks in advance for any help,
Mark
You would be better to sell it, but make it quick as Ebay is getting flooded with them. Or you could offer it for sale here on the forum, how much you hoping to get for it?
i sold mine 2 weeks ago, as soon as i heard the news that it was available from 1 november in my neighbour country germany, and got one 1 week ago. sold for 250 € and bought one for € 650
Well with the keyboard i was hoping to get around £200 or so. Need that much to make it worthwile to upgrade or I may as well stick with the XDA1.
Decided to put it on Ebay now rather than risk leaving it and the site becoming flooded - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2766011342 if anyones interested
I just sold my xda privately, I got £160 with all the origanal stuff and it looked quiet well looked after, when it's unlocked the "pay as you go" people cant resist the prospect of an unusual phone away from the usual boring nokias, and since my brand new xdaII was only 150 on a £45 p/m contract I`ve got one of the most cutting edge mobiles on the planet, and made a tenner
Hi,
Guys im selling my Universal which has just been replaced with a brand new one with brand new accessories so hence i decided to sell it.

Hi guys,
Just wondering if I can get some advise.
I just bought a Tytn II and am now going to sell my T-Mobile Vario II. I was wondering what sort of price I should be looking for one now-a-days.
It's got the original box, but no warranty. I can put my hands-free kit in from my Tytn II as I really don't need it.
I've got the original charger and a USB sync/charge cable are easy to add.
I can also throw in my Tytn II's case. I don't need that either.
It's in near pristine condition. I got it in about April after sending my first one back to T-Mobile for repair. They replaced it instead. However, on the corner is a small, but very obvious scuff which I plan on showing when selling it.
Just wondering if anyone can advise me on what sort of price you would expect to pay for this phone if you was buying it so I can get a rough idea of what to expect.
I'll be putting the Official T-Mobile Windows Mobile 6 on the device and it is unlocked.
i reckon £130, but saying that the official wm6 and unlocked aswell wouldcrank it up if u put it on ebay. dont seel for less than 130 though.
Thanks for your reply.
That kind of price is actually quite a bit above what I was thinking. I was looking at more about £70. Especially considering the scuff on the corner is quite visible with the device being grey and red.
It's not damage which will effect the device in any way shape or form, but it is clearly visible. That's it's only downside.
I'd look at the prices on ebay... On Aussie ebay most Hermes sell for around $200Aud. This is my observation for about 2 months... Watch how they sell on ebay for a week then decide how to go about this.
Most people tend to bid in the last few hours and I've seen a Jasjam go from $55 to almost $300Aud in the course of 20 mins.
I don't know how it is on UK ebay but my advice is watch and learn.
Cheers...

Good advice.
I'd say as well (having sold a couple of phones on ebay) decent descriptions and pictures add more than you would expect to the price, so spend a bit of time writing some decent text and describing the functions in detail.
May as well watch http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200242138578 - it's a similarly replaced Vario II so should give you an idea of what it will go for, once it completes.
Good luck!

i only paid a £100 for mine 12 months ago and that was virtually new, a midwife had got it on contract and then found it far too complicated to use. £130+ to me is way off the mark. I have tried to buy a few on ebay and they generally sell from £70-£100 depending on the condition , accessories included etc.
PM me with a price as a friend wants one , if you dont want to use ebay. Or if you do pm me the link
EDIT:http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200242138578 Someone is taking the piss on the bidding with that one its at a £155 with two days to go, i think someone is pulling his leg.
average price for one if these is about a £100
http://www.gumtree.com/london/69/26751569.html <---£100
http://www.gumtree.com/london/69/26751569.html <---£110
http://www.gumtree.com/london/25/25809225.html <---£100
http://www.gumtree.com/london/23/26155423.html <---£75
Thanks for the suggestions,
The item linked by Marsbar is going for a really high price.
To be honest, I think I'll put it on there for £70 with full pictures of it up and working then let it run for 7 days.
I just sold a Samsung Tocco on there (free upgrade from Orange) for £200 on a buy it now. That was done within hours. I think the Tytn could fetch quite a bit more than I anticipated.
Anyone had any experience of buying a phone off eBay? I bought mine second hand for £331 the other day and it was as advertised. I did a hard reset so I could start again and it works really well. Maybe I was just lucky!!!!
I got it for 280L via ebay.. new as described (unwanted upgrade).. had to unlock it and viola works perfectly ( for 3 months now )
Yep I bought an HD off eBay and it was as described. In fact the seller had mentioned two small scratches which I still haven't managed to find!! The phone had also already been flashed with one of Dutty's ROMS so was ready to go!

havent bought an hd off ebay but i am buying a lot of stuff from there (included a couple of phones), i must say that in the last 2-3 years the quality of the items and the precision of the sellers is getting more and more professional. I would definately recommend a search on ebay for a phone or whatever else, provided you ACCURATELY read, read, READ the description and everything
A long as you find the seller legitimate and able to read the description clearly, you shouldn't find it hard. Just try contacting the seller always before deciding to bid. If the price is listed ridiculously low, make sure you insist him why it is priced low. Most importantly, ask him twice if it's the original HTC phone or the chinese clones spread over AliBaba!
I've bought the following PDA phones off eBay
XDA IIs (2006)
XDA Exec (2006)
XDA Orbit (2007)
XDA Orbit 2 (2008)
HTC Diamond (2008)
HTC HD (2009)
I've had no problems at all, but only because I was careful with checking out the seller first. I use a website called www.goofbay.com to check what the seller has bought, sold and selling and to filter his feedback so I can see all the neutrals and negatives.
Most of the time though you cannot be too careful; the XDA Orbit 2 was a pain when I bought it. The seller didn't respond for about a week, had to keep calling him, he was never in, only spoke to members of his family. Then after a while he sent me an email saying he was a way and will post the phone as soon as possible. A few days later I receive a Xda Orbit One (Artemis), not the newer XDA Orbit Two (Polaris/Touch Cruise) and I had to post it back to him for a refund. But luckily the seller was a decent bloke who really made a mistake so he offered to refund everything, including return postage and postage he paid to send phone to me. He was really apologetic and to be honest he probably would have ended up paying compensation if I asked for it lol (but im not cruel )
In the end he made a bank transfer of the total refund and he kept in touch the whole time via text messaging (lol).
After awhile I bought another XDA Orbit 2 of eBay and when it came (it was fine this time!), I really despised the phone. Slow, buggy, chunky, touchflo sucks, typing is also slow, just in general it was a crappy phone that was expensive. In my opinion - the XDA II, XDA IIs and XDA Exec were very fast. Only after getting the XDA Orbit onwards did I start to notice the higher spec phones getting slower!
Best phone I own is the Touch HD (of course ) but it wasn't as fast as my Diamond.
I am probably going to end up buying the Toshiba TG01 PDA - Windows Mobile and a 1Ghz processor! Best of all a bigger screen than the touch HD lol. Should be interesting when it comes out
Oh and by the way anyone thinking of selling on eBay, if you know someone who has lots of feedback and experience in selling let them do it for you instead of opening a new account; If you sell it yourself with a weak account, you will get less bids, more scammers, and more people who buy legitimately with the intent of doing a chargeback a couple of months after buying the PDA from you!
Been buying and selling phones and other on eBay for years and rarely been let down. Just remember to DO YOUR HOMEWORK FIRST!!
Always ask lots of questions and check the sellers feedback!!
Goodluck
I bought my HD off ebay and I got a new phone at a resonable price. Just look at description of what you are buying and make sure the seller has a good review.
ebay is the place to get your best price...just verify seller etc.
got my HD off ebay for about $370 from Europe (idividual seller)...
Hey guys, as the popular term goes, I'm a long time lurker, first time poster and have to say what an awesome section this is! I was hesitant after bad reviews whether or not to get this bad boy, but after reading countless positive opinions on this forum I have decided to take the plunge. My only question is, do you guys think it's safe to get it off eBay for 400$au? It just seems very cheap and I want to know it's factory unlocked and not hacked before I get it, thanks in advance and keep up the good work!

eBay comes with buyer protection anyway so you won't loose your money
just check the sellers feedback score and histroy, if it seems to be too good to be true!!
i brought my xperia play from ebay and was perfectly fine just sim locked when it came out
Hi man
Im in Australia and bought mine through Ebay for AUD $398 about 2 months ago so that price is right. It came from Hong Kong, it works perfectly, im heaps satisfied with it and there are no faults.
Also to let you ease your mind dude, they are unlocked so they work with any Australian mobile network and also when purchasing the phone make sure you get the R800i xperia play model as these ones work on all of the Australian network bands for mobile 2G, 3G etc.
Another thing also like someone said before, Ebay offers their protection program and if you use paypal they also offer their own protection program so you are pretty much covered if somethings goes wrong.
Have fun with it dude If you wanna know anything else let me know.
the r800a runs on telstras 3g network, not the r800i, and it costs a fair bit more to buy but is worth it imo for telstras far superior network(least where i live)
the r800i can use telstras old 2100mhz 3g network..but thats not long for this world..
TLR telstra:r800a, optus or anyone else:r800i
Thanks guys, I'm actually in china now on holiday so I'm wondering whether to grab one while I'm in hong kong, but as previously mentioned eBay gives the security of buyer protection... will let y'all know how it fares but either way I'm looking forward to joining the club
just bought mine through ebay, price was $394 (ausd). came with an 8gb card, case, screen protector and car charger. seller is based in hong kong and i'd gladly recommend him if you were to buy through ebay. no hassles, no stress, no problems at all. seller even used ups for shipping which allowed full tracking online. i bought my unit on a thursday. ups online said that the unit was already in melbourne by saturday. got my phone by monday morning (darn, no postal services on sundays =)
2 of my friends got it through the same vendor I think. He's called rose#somenumber#.
Trouble-free and they got it for 280-300€ depending on the change rate.
280-300? Geez, that's a bargain! I saw that rose guy (or girl) on eBay but Aussie price is 385, still a good buy, just wanna stop at HK first n see if I can haggle a bit with the locals

just be careful, mate. no offense to anyone honk kong related...i was based there for 2.5 years mind you...but a mate of mine dropped by hk recently. he bought a brand new xperia arc and haggled for a lower price. the seller took out 150 bucks from the phone. phone was working fine but when he got back to melby the phone stopped functioning.
if you're going to hk, try getting the phone in tsim sha tsui (kowloon). specifically, ocean terminal (right beside the ferry and bus depot). there's a building there called star city. second floor houses the best electronics from reputable stores. or, there's something similar in wan chai (hk side). but personally i prefer the one in kowloon as the one in wan chai can be a bit dodgy regarding some stores.
im not sure what country your in but if your not in australia you may have to pay import tax which will boost the price
Thanks for the advice guys, ended up getting it from wanchai paid 340aud so pretty happy, it is a wicked phone so far n I havent even rooted it yet! Need some help with but I asked in another thread and am googling as I type thanks again guys, looking forward to exchanging info once I suss it out.
