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.
Lie_ui, please may I have your box?

Is there a forum specifically for selling my Hermes? I have changed phones and have no use for it any longer.

Hello,
No, we don't have a forum for selling phones. A couple reasons is because it would more than likely become a breeding ground for spam and fraud.
That being said, we do "allow" some more senior members with a trusted history on the forum to sell off their device if they're moving on or upgrading to a different device.
Your best bet may be eBay or something more local.
Good luck!
Theres HowardForums, but I've never understood thier over the top prices. Who would pay $500 for a Wizard when they go for $120-$180 on Ebay?
I'd suggest Ebay or Craigslist. I've had a lot of good luck with Craigslist, but then again, I live near a college campus, so the risk of scams are hard when you have plenty of traffic/witnesses around.
how much?
how much you looking to sell you 8525 for. pm to let me know we can work something out
I was hoping for a "for sale" forum as well.
I purchased my 8525 from ebay & it constantly goes to a white screen.
Luckily - the seller agreed to a full refund.
I was told from a guru on this site that it is prob best to stay away from ebay for these phones so I was hopingto find a reputable seller over here.
Anyone wantingto sell an 8525?

The more I thought about missing my old one, the more I yearned to buy another .. didn't take very long, but I just purchased it with BUY IT NOW on eBay. I am positive their ad is mis-leading .. It says it has voice - and - even voice dialing. That's impossible, right ?? Not that it matters, I am just curious. Do they know something I don't know ?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190240409191&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fshop.ebay.com%3A80%2F%3F_from%3DR40%26_trksid%3Dm38%26_nkw%3D190240409191%26_sacat%3DSee-All-Categories%26_fvi%3D1
Looks like just another numpty seller.
When it arrives, demand a partial refund because it can't make phone calls.
That'll learn 'em!
I wonder where he/she got that WRONG information?? Looks like they sell lots of computer 'stuff.' I don't care really. I will be happy to get one again. I really missed mine. My a/c went out at the beginning of summer and had to sell mine. Been watering my money tree and it was ready to be picked this weekend !!! Yippee !! Of course, being the 'rotten kid at christmas' that I am. I paid extra for overnight shipping ..

Pantaloonie is right. Demand partial amount back or tell them that you would leave a negative feedback. EBay changed the policy on feedbacks. Now the buyers would not receive negative feedback at any cost.

Has anybody tried voicecall with bluetooth device?
Read an article that said it was possiblehttp://www.elitezoom.com/htc-shift-preview.html
Actually, they said they didn't know in rather poor english.
To answer your question though, no it isn't possible to make a voice call from WM at present. Also, since Bluetooth also isn't available to WM, you can't connect a Bluetooth headset to it in WM either.
Regards,
Dave
OK foxmeister!
I don´t have A shift yet,so I am a noob on this device.
Hopfully i will have one nex week.

List the questions you'd ask the seller in context of Unlocked Samsung Vibrant.
Details:
Greetings,
I'm looking to buy unlocked Samsung Vibrant for around $400, (I'm not in USA and got a freind coming from there, will save me $100 eyes-closed).
I haven't really done E-baying ever before . I'v read some guides and obviously going to see the feedback and points the sellers have. (I'm trying to get the phone preferably from someone with TOP-SELLER icon).
I would really appreciate if you can tell me some of the questions that I should ask the person before buying UNLOCKED Samsung Vibrant.
Many Thanks.

Eh, I've had a horrible experience buying something expensive from ebay. It's a risk. Ask yourself, is it really worth $100? Ebay can be great but I stay away from it when it comes to electronics.
Agreed with the above poster. Ebay is great for many things, such as cheap stuff, but I would NEVER buy an expensive piece of electronics off of it. There are far too many ways to get screwed over. It's not worth it.
I've bought lots of expensive items from eBay, link a credit card to your PayPal account that way if you don't get any help from them you can always do a chargeback if you get a dud and the sellers a ****. Check their feedback if you see reds forget it.
Don't blame me, blame my keyboard's autocorrection algorithm.
Did you check on the xda for sale forums. Some guy was selling one for $300 with a ffc already installed. I too would not go through ebay, I have way better luck on Craig's list.
I've bought countless phones off of ebay (Dash 3g, Hd2, Vibrant, Hd7, G2, .....) and Ive never had a problem. You just have to know how to find the right listing froma seller with good feedback. And make sure you read the listing description at least THREE times before buying...to help you out...heres some vibrant I would consider bidding on if I were you:

I bought my vibrant from Ebay back in september for only 376. This included shipping and everything. and the phone was brand new in box...so my experiences with ebay have been good. Hope yours are the same...just be careful for ppl selling stuff with less than a feedback score of 5

Doing a chargeback is not easy unless fraud is involved. If u authorized the charge and get screwed the bank will not charge it back.
Also, the bank will make you call PayPal.

as I seller I have problems with scamming buyers. Actually got scammed out of a HD2. lost the phone and money
I have had a few issues with ebay. Specifically after they changed some of there rules regarding paypal and buyer complaints. That said, if you trust your friend get him some money and have him try craigslist in his area. My .02
my .02cents on this topic... Craigslist is a great place. In my area there are 20+ vibrant many for $250 range.
The benefit (and drawback) is you get to inspect the phone before you hand over cash.
As a seller and buyer I've gotten beat a couple of times. You live and learn what the signs are that someone isn't trustworthy. I've sold items in the thousands to Indonesia and Thailand with no problems, I've bought stuff in the hundreds domestically and gotten a defective item with no recourse. Bought a Sony 850I that concked out on me me, couldn't get no warranty love cause it was grey market.
Don't blame me, blame my keyboard's autocorrection algorithm.
Hello everyone,
I was just wondering if my supposedly new zoom I just purchased from Best Buy was actually new or a return. It started up like it was new with all the setup stuff. What seemed kind of funny was when a went into my user defined dictionary there was all kinds of foul words in it like it had been used before. also it had software on it that didn't seem like it would come with a new device. Software like Craps, Blacjack, US presidents Trivia, Vampire Trivia just to name a few. Was I sold a used Xoom as New. Thanks for any help.
Keith
My Xoom case was sealed. The Xoom itself was in plastic i hade to take off. And none of the apps you mention was on mine. I have the Wifi Xoom, maybe things is different on the 3g Xoom.
I would consider taking it back.
When you got it, was the seal on the box broken? Did it have the protective film on the screen? If it wasn't like this video when you opened it, I'd say so. And also, was it advertised as completely new, or new condition?
Thanks for Quick reply. I actually never had the box in my hands. I had them put a Zagg screen protector on it. Sales person took it in back room came out with screen protector on it. I think they tried to pull a fast one on me. Some of the words in the user dictionary were f**king bit*h a**hole amoung others.

Yes....the games installed were a dead giveaway....they sold you a used one, not even reconditioned, because then they would have wiped the data. Someone returned one for whatever reason, and when they took it in back to put the ZAGG on it, they made the swap for some reason.
I would not even bother with dealing with the sales people...take it straight to the manager and raise holy hell. Say your kid had used it for school, found that language in the dictionary...permanently scarred.......going to sue...blah blah. You will come out with a new one and a case AND a giftcard.
Thanks for the help taking back as soon as they open today. I will raise hell with them. This was way out of line. Those salesmen should be fired!
I also have to get all my personal data off here before I return it what a big waste of time.

Be careful not to wipe any of the stuff that was already on there.
I would either get a new one or keep the one you got with benefits as some money back or free accessories.
A returned device should always be sold at a lower price and the customer has to be informed that the unit is a returned one.
On a funny side, tell them you are like Jackie Chan you don't curse and don't use guns, and you felt awfully offended by the words specially when your kids are insulting you because they are too smart for that tablet and found the dictionary before you.
Just sayin....
hope you get some goodies.
definitely a used one. maybe a demo one with salesteam. Great advice by folks above.
I used to bought one Samsung Galaxy Tab from Queens Mall Center the Srpnt Sales booth .
It was the last one but the sales person spinning his head(seriously, he spins his head to show definite yes to my question "whether it is a new one") promising that is a new/unopened one.
And guess what?
When I open Samsung Galaxy for the first time, there was one video in the device shooting the booth manager talking to customer (shooting from the manager's back).
I took it back, and show them the video. (strongest evidence I ever had and no dispute whatsoever).
And as a result of being disgusted, I just returned Samsung Galaxy and not planning to buy anyone from sprint for a while.
Take it back!
i had some isues with 3 xooms that google books were not working as youtube icon.
Well after i research the solution of my problem thanks XDA. i went to buy a new one.
Well the sales person at best buy offered me a new one on a seal box for regular price... and also had offered me an opem item while he said he had opened by mistake idk if it was return or not.
Well he offered me return item for $519.00 so i went for it. i got a girft card back for my remaining balance... abotu $70. i got my self a Motorola case $39.99 and i still have some balance on my gift card.
Until then i havent got any problems with it. was clean though.. like new..
Like peple had mention above you should be able to bring it up to Manager and come out with some freebies and some discounts.. good luck!
make sure you tell the manager it is illegal to sell used items as new. tell them you want COMPLETE satisfaction and a reasonable compensation for your time wasted, aggregation caused by their store and to help restore your trust in best buy. remember that you catch more flies with honey than vinegar. so stay calm, polite but firm and you could walk out with a major win.
I'd skip going to the store all together and write a scathing, but well worded letter to Best Buy corporate including the store number and all the pertinent information. Tell them you and your son were deeply offended by the words found in the dictionary. Make up some scenario where you were typing in a recipe for fudge in a text message and the dictionary suggested "****" as an alternative.
I've been in a few of these situations and have always found that going directly to corporate yields the best results. Do some Google searching or gather some intel at at the Best Buy in question and find out who the regional manager is. This is the information age and people's contact information isn't hard to get. Get people above the retail level involved and heads will roll, especially in the corporate structure where back stabbery and employees screwing eachother over is common place.
EDIT: Threatening legitimate lawsuits is a definite attention getter, and your case seems quite legitimate.
Can't you just match the serial number on the box with the one in the Xoom to verify if it was swapped?
Definitely go in and speak to a store manager. Threaten to call the BBB and while you're at it try and secure an OTG cable.

Agreed, snatch a free otg cable from them while your at it. It will save you a headache later on... plus you deserve it, I'd be pissed.

I'd take it back and demand some sort of compensation. You're most certainly not the first user.
Mine was an open-box return, but it was flawless as far as I could tell and they gave me $50 bucks off. At least tell them you want some accessories or a BB gift card or something.

I would also advise, while saying this do not start taking your pants off. This did not work well for me after following this posters advice.
so what happened?
Check the serial number on the receipt vs the xoom. Tale tale sign.
