Decided I want a normal phone instead. Whilst I love my Exec, I reckon I almost never use any of the PDA functions (other than bubble breaker :wink: ). I only surf the net at home, so I can use my wifi enabled laptop for that. So, for me it's just a big heavy phone.
Anyway, you all know what it does and the specs. I'll leave my current install on it, 'cos it's running dead quick (gspm++, magicbutton, resco explorer), unless you want me to hard reset it.
It's two weeks old as of two days ago. As new condition. All the box contents are there.
You're welcome to check eBay for the prices, but I want £425, which I think is reasonable. Would prefer collection from Northampton (or nearby), but can sort postage out if you want (buyers cost).
PM me, or reply to the post.
cheers,
Matt
hi,
would you send by courier to ireland or is that international as well. Payment would be through paypal immediately.
Thanks
Leave it with me. I'll get some quotes for shipping and let you know.
Matt
You've got pm mate.
Ok, no response from Liverpool, so is anyone else interested? I'll now send internationally if you want, though you'll have to pay all the shipping. Paypal is preferred (as it's dead quick).
Anyway, send me a pm if you're interested and we'll see what we can do
Check your PM, Matt.
SORRY 4 HI-JACKIN YOUR THREAD BUT I ALSO HAVE A XDA EXEC FOR SELL

My local o2 shop have XDA II's in stock at £350 with a new contract sadly even though the upgrade is only £350.00 too and I get to keep my XDA (WOW) I havent been with o2 12 months so I cant do it yet (Sulk)
Carl

hi mate any idea on how much per month? im 17 and want something cheap per month lol.
i can afford the xda2 just dont think i could handle the contract
gaz
Not sure I didn't ask but I guess it would be the £25.00 per month one plus some data package as they all tend to be pop into your local store or ring them I'm sure they will know better than me
Carl
ill think ill leave the xda2 lol im gonna go for this instead
http://www.mobileburn.com/news.jsp?Id=505
Looks nice enough but the screen seems a little small, also no mention of Bluetooth a much needed part of any phone these days.
But each to his own good luck with it
Carl
yeah ive also looked around no monetion on touchscreen :| cant live without touchscreens now lol so XDA 2 it may be
also if you want a xda 2 try get intocuh with this guy......
dunno if its legit or not ive been chatting to him via email hes from east yorkshire in hull he says it near leeds but hes selling XDA 2 for £160 delivered but he has no obligation of you going to pick up. i live to far away to see if its for real
his page on ebay is:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3357936944&category=3312
but he seems to be hesitating on his address :\
lmk if you get intouch and find anything out
Hmmmm!
I suspect that these units are off the back of a lorry or something. It's just tooo cheap.
The guy's ID on eBay also has no rating, no feedback, and is not a verified user. You'd be MAD to buy from him without further info. I'm going to watch these bids closing out with interest...
yeah but if you live not far away its worth a try the guy said he has had 100 units and now oly has 30left! not suprised at this price.
even if they weref rom back of a lorry who cares lol you didnt know they were nicked init
even if it gets blocked £160 for a 400mhz bluetooth pda not bad
gaz
The main problem is he has no rating on Ebay you may send money to his Paypal account and get nothing I've emailed him a number of times and got ... well lets just say odd replies.
I'd warn you all to be very careful indeed I've been had once before on Ebay and never recovered my money.
Having said that if one of you get one from him and its gen please contact me on my mobile number as I'll be away 07866 739331 and I'll get one too lol. (just realized I'm kind of saying you lot can take a chance SORRY) lol

Can you tell me what you mean by "odd replies"?
Don't want to put anything down here I could be complained at for, but I do a lot of business on ebay and it just seems to good to be true.
Lets face it the o2 shops are only just getting these in and they want £350.00 on contract why would anyone have 100 (now 30) and be willing to sell them sim free for £160.00 delivered look at his other auctions too they are all top of the range phones.
Normally if it seems to be too good to be true it is.
Carl
I was offered several of these machines from this ebay seller and when I said that I worked in a nearby town and offered to call to collect the phones, the emails dried up and I've had no further contact since yesterday. I suspect this is a con.
i have a house phone number and his addy :| i just need someone to go check it out
hes from hull
ronald morgan his name is also there are 2 other peeps.
3 total are running it:
Carl Wilburn, Andy Lill and Ronald Morgan.
not had replies from the other guys but ron seems to be alrite but i dont se ehow he can do them that cheap :\
anyone want his info lmk and ill send you it so you can go investigate and if true lmk and ill be on my way down in an instant lol (about a 4hour drive)
With the name/address, you could look at the electoral role to verify....something like UKINFO 2003 or www.192.com might help....
Just for information, I have been in contact with this ebay seller today. I've reserved two of these machines. Hull is only a hour drive from where I am, I have suggested that I pick them up from him directly. Just awaiting his email back, will let you know what happens.
Regards,
Chris
yeah he even said i could go pick them up too....
but its over 4hours drive away from where i am so its a no go
gaz
gazzaman - I'm in Hull right now please send me the address and I'll check it out.
pmed you it mate let us know the outcome if you can go just ask if he is selling them and if you could have alook at one or somthing

I have a project where I will be porting an application (VB and SQL) to WM5.0 and the target is expected to be an O2XDA Exec, Orange SPV M5000 etc... Universal??
Anyway I am trying to figure out if these are dodgey at all but there seem to be plenty of new O2XDA Exec on ebay with prices way below what the same units would/should cost from O2 et al without contracts.
I expect a few members might have bought from ebay??? so asking what peeps views are.
The sellers always seem to have 20 or so units but everything is anonymous and seem to have to part with money in advance and cannot do this in person so more than a bit cautious.
I am going to need a couple for development and testing.

Dom
Universal from Ebay
I bought my brandnew O2 XDA Exec from Ebay for less than 2/3 the price you would pay for it from any 02 shop. No problems at all
OP, you've just described Ebay as whole ;-D
I suppose it's like everything else on that site: sometimes you get a good deal, sometimes you get burned. Personally I had good and bad experiences on Ebay, just like any other 'ad board' site or magazine.
EDIT: check out this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=53525&highlight= for a cautionary tale...

Ditto, why I was asking. Don't want to get burned for £500 and no XDA's.
Found what seemed to be a good deal at about 2/3 (£280) of the RRP (£400 ish) from one ebay trader. I wanted to exchange cash in person and all of a sudden it wasn't possible and there was this reason and that reason why they couldn't... all sounded far too dodgey to me.
BTW it was someone from O2 shop that said look on ebay when I said I just wanted the phones without the contract.
Dom
I got my MDA Pro from eBay for £250. It was brand new and sealed, I am very happy with it.
You have to be very careful when you buy from eBay.
Always email the seller and ask if you can collect and pay cash. If they refuse then ask yourself why? Maybe its dodgy - sometimes it maybe genuine.
Also check their previous selling history - if they have never ever sold any pdas/phone and suddenly they have 20 PDA's for sale then be careful - usually very dodgy.
Good Luck...
On the matter of refusing to accept cash to be fair I suppose I'd be the same. When you bet on something it clearly tells you how the payments are accepted: usually paypal.
Personally if someone bought my 500pounds device and wanted to switch the payment mode to cash right after winning the option, the alarms bells would be ringing too. I'd probably just say no and explain the above but some people don't like saying no and rather make crappy excuses instead... in which case the alarm bells would then be ringing in the buyer's ears this time round...

Oh wasn't before winning, insisted on emails with bidders before he would accept any bids from you. Would cancel bids otherwise.
It looked like he had the items as a fixed price and would sell direct just not through ebay and so no ebay protection etc... why I asked face to face and cash.

Dom
what kinda apps r u gona be porting?
I am porting amateur radio logging, prediction and rig control software(last one a bit of a non-starter as these do not have USB host and not sure can get rs232 connectivity working).
There will also be some additional Oracle, sql2000 and sql2005 monitoring apps written using VB .net

I bought my O2 XDA Exec from Ebay, Paid $650.00 for it new in box and have had no problems with it. The seller was UK based and I live in the USA.
Well, my contract with O2 was up for renewal a couple of months ago and I said that I wanted my PAC code as I was going to switch to Orange as I wanted a Universal. In the end O2 said I could have a new O2 Exec for FREE on a O2 500 tarrif for £25/mth. Of course I accepted.
Dom,
I got a refurbished Vodafone V1640 from a business seller on ebay for £240! It came with everything in its original box. The only flaws were a small scratch on one of the hinges (stated in description) and a little polarisation flaw on the screen (NOT stated in description, but it's not too much of a problem). Overall I think I made a good purchase.
Please, the store I got it from won't take back my phone unless I have the molded cardboard insert.
I will pay you cash, paypal or otherwise (sexual favors) if you can get me a cardboard insert or complete box (EXCLUDING THE OUTSIDE SLEEVE WITH IMEI/SN, I DONT NEED THIS).
Please, please, I have tried other forums and I am still out of luck!
If you have it, please PM me, I am 750$ down the tube without one.
mods plesse don't move or delete this thread, it is imperative I get this box or I'm screwed!
Where are you? What country?
I am in canada, I will gladly pay for any post involved with this!!!
THANK YOU IF YOU ARE GOING TO GIVE ME A CARDBOARD BOX
Seriously,
I'm gonna have to think about it. When I upgraded from a Magician I sold it on eBay in all of the original packaging and was planning to do the same when the time came around again.
I saw your other thread, what a crappy dealer!
Please!
I will pay for it,
Sales on ebay don't really get that much more, if anything when selling in the box. People go to the ebay for the goods, my self included!
You're the only person even willing to talk about it,
HELP! I still haven't found one and this is surely looking grim.
all I need is the box, not including your ouside sleeve that has the imie and such.
please!

No, actually I find a complete box and manuals etc adds around 25% to the sale price. The older the phone is, the *more* important it is too, as people will think it's been looked after etc etc - a newer device people will not care so much esp. if still under warranty.
And I don't have a prophet so can't help, sorry.
Richard
LOL well thanks for the tease,
bye.
\\ Anyone else can actually help me out?
Do you think a magician box will help you?
I believe I still keep my magician box somewhere, I do not have the magician anymore (given to my brother) but I keep the complete box. Magician and Prophet have the exact same measurement.
May be you can tell me the size of the Phophet box and I would confirm if my magician brown tray will fit in it or not.

I had a magician previously and I can confirm that inside bits of the box are indeed identical.
Thank you the brit for confirming they are the same.

Hi,
I bought an MDA Pro at eBay and it took me two weeks to get it.
I never tried to win an auction of a "refurbished" one, if the seller wrote that he "never turned it on".
If I have a broken device and get a refurbished one in exchange, why wouldn't I turn the exchanged device on and test it?
My advice to you:
1) Rewrite your text.
2) Limit your auction to EU and write in big letters that you do not ship to Africa, specially to Nigeria, due to all the scammers. This way they probably won't waste time with you.
3) Test your device. Take pictures of it when turned on. Explain all eventual faults, like scratches.
If you give a good description and if you test your device, you will certainly get serious bidders.
Cheers,
vma
Yeah saying you have never turned it on just looks suspicious. You gotta turn it on, try it out, make sure it works, and take working photos of it. Otherwise you will have a hard time selling it. I wouldn't buy based on what you've said.
Cheers, Mitchell
thanks....i have now switched it on and it works fine. your recomendations are greatly appreciated.
Good luck with your sale!
My beloved MDA dropped today...it still works, BUT, the usb port is loose, and Assurion doesn't have any to swap out under insurance...they offered me the Wing (gag me!). I am seeking a working Wizard with a solid usb port...locked or unlocked (hello lokiwiz)...
I will not respond to "you can have mine for $300"...I can get one on ebay for $160 or less.
If you have moved on and want to part with your WORKING Wizard, please contact me.
"you can have mine for $300"
Thanks.
You know, my mama always said::
"EVERYONE LIKES A LITTLE ASS, NO ONE LIKES A SMART ASS"
I'm serious. I am willing to pay the $110 insurance would charge me, up to about $160-ish, which is what I have found as the asking price on ebay
...if anyone has an old, but WORKING, Wizard, and you have upgraded to a new device and don't know what to do with the Wizard, please contact me. If the condition is good and your price fair, I would be very interested in getting it.
Thanks.
Y not take Wing?
It is the same thing as MDA but just thiner. Oh well - tastes are different, although I have Like New MDA that I am using currently and not really want to move on cuz it works for me at this moment. If it happens I hear from some1 that wants to sell, I'll pass that onto you.
Anyway - I wouldn't recommend eBay to anyone when it comes to buying MDA. Friend of mine bought 1 - supposedly refurbished perfect cosmetic condition and received BEATER!!! Scratches all over the phone, screen damage, opens on its own - I mean he was looking to get the deal and got bad beater phone. Later on he got brand new Wing from Tmobile.
MDA story was completed by seller not responding to his e-mails and he filled with paypal a dispute so he got the money back and never sent the phone back to the seller. He sold the phone as is on the ebay for 170$ ... with all the explanations and everything...
I bought mine on ebay and is LIKE NEW (Or even new!)
It depends on who you buy the products.. There are many sellers and many are legit!
If you havent bought yet dont say that...
pm'd with offer
If you go through eBay, just avoid "rob3474." I got a Qtek 9100 from him that was supposed to be "like new." Suffice to say, it has a lot of wear and needed some attention before it would function semi-properly. Still having some issues with it a month later...
I sent you a pm with an offer
Still looking...
I have not been very active since having surgery. I got some great PM's but a couple fell through, so...
I am still seeking a working, reasonably priced Wizard-preferably a G3. My main concern is not with cosmetics, I just need a well working Wizard with a very SOLID usb port.
I have been quite busy with doctor appointments and physical therapy, so please be patient with me, I will respond to PM's.
I am thinking about upgrading shortly, I have a fully unlocked G3 Wizard. Will let you know if I do decide to upgrade. It has typical scratches on the body, usb is solid and it works great.

Well I had a potential sale fall through, so I am again back looking for a good condition (solid usb port, gently handled) Wizard. Preferably a G3. I am willing to go as high as $150 with shipping, and will pay with Money Order or Visa Gift Card, or if you bank with Wells Fargo, a direct money transfer. I will NOT send cash (I do not trust the USPS and want to have a recourse if the payment is lost in the mail), and I cannot use Paypal because my account is frozen due to some supposed fraudulent activity (I suspect someone tried to hack my account). If you have an MDA in good condition and want to sell, please PM me.
Thanks.
Ill trade you my MDA for the wing that you are going to receve.
It is in good shape. (although I have to be honest I dropped it once or twice)
It was mostly held in it's case untill I lost it. then I bought a black plastic cover/skin for it. It doesn't look like I just bought it. The plastic cover I bought for 10 buck makes it look like it.
I could use an upgrade, but I'm not due untill september.
I love my wizard. it is very durable, and well worth the cost; so I won't be upset or offended if you don't take the offer
I hope you find what you are looking for. if not PM me
