Are we allowed to advertise items for sale?

Without getting banned I'd thought I would ask the question first!
If I had a new XDA Trion for sale, could I advertise it here rather than put it on eBay?
I've done a quick search through the forum & couldn't find any rules.
Thanks
Jamie

It is good that you asked, alot of people think that trying to sale you phone on here is not good. But i think that sometime it is ok, but then sometimes not!!!
I think that if you write some thing and let it go for people to read, then ok, but some people i have seen will try and keep it at the top of the list and it just bugs people!!!
But if you are nice and dont bug people, i dont think anyone would moan about it!!!
so a long story short, i would do it but if some one does not like it, take it out!!!

There is truth in what Funman says. In general we do not allow selling of devices on the forum except now and again when someone is letting it be known their older device is now for sale. Occasionally it's ok on a device specific board if it's for spare parts. Also I think it best that such adverts are kept away from device specific boards and put in General or Off Topic. If I were you I would PM Flar our admin for official guidance.

Thanks for the advise. I think I'll just eBay it. I don't want to risk getting banned!
Thanks again.

This Sickens Me - Selling Android Builds on eBay

ttp://cgi.ebay.com/HTC-HD2-Android-2-2-Evo-Operating-System-/330486566191?pt=Cell_Phones&hash=item4cf288cd2f
This is a disgrace. Anyone who exploits the hard work and unwaged development of Android/Linux on the Hd2 should know that you are only doing the community harm by discouraging devs to continue progress. You basically stole their knowledge and are hawking it off as yours. Disguisting.

This isn't the first time this had happened. Its hapoened like 5 other times thati know of. Yeah your right its messed up.

I wish there was a way to reply to his auction and scream "FRAUD!".. or give the seller negative feedback over and over again.

Damn... why didnt I think of doing that and making money... lol
Just kidding... Yeah the guy selling instructions is an asshole for sure
THUMBS DOWN!

have a look at craigslist.

I just filed a report against the item as being copyright infringement.

What an idiot, he got that picture from XDA too. I think its from mattc?

i've filed a report as well. What a low life scumbag. Wish we knew his handle on XDA so he can be banned for life.

he should send to death sentence!

ive reported it as well.
i think the best way to fix this is for everyone to file a simple report of violation of android GPL. and intellectual property.
if ebay gets enough reports of similar auctions, it will go on their banned list. unless you can prove you programmed it.

Damn why didn't I charge my friends for spending 3 hours on installing android onto their phones.
Report submitted.

Yah. I think everybody should report this..I just reported too!!!
This kind of person should be banned from xda forever!!!

Sometimes you learn more form the seller when you're in contact with him.
maybe his mailaddress is a part of his account on XDA so you'll be able to track him down.
Stay in contact as long as you can, that way you will gather more information.
This is indeed a dis-craze to all hard working developers, accept when the seller is one of the developers hare at XDA...
to all developers, don't stop because of some stupid ass, your work is really appreciated!

I don't know if it's a coincedence, but there's a user here at XDA that has the EXACT same name as the e-Bay seller.
Link to his profile is: mv1luv
I think it's time to get the mods onto this
Grtz,
Degake
p.s. The hometown of the XDA member (Bakersfield) is also the same at the e-Bay item location.... so I guess we got him

Time for the Mod's to get involved and sort this matter out, reported it to e-bay but they aren't really going to do anything which is sad, but the mods here can!

Unbelievable! Just out of curiosity I did a search for "HTC HD2 Android" on eBay and there are several other no-conscience sellers peddling instructions on how to install Android. Outrageous! One seller "alpleco" out of Long Island has sold over 600+ of these instructions at almost $2 each.
There's just no shame!

Even more pathetic are the people who bought it, If they had took 2 seconds to search google for "HD2 Android" they would have an abundance of instructions for free.

Yeah You right

Yeah You right. This is not the place. But i have mentioned why i bought this thing here. Second! perhaps you don't care. But some people of XDA working hard to do this stuff for free. And someone selling their hard work for own interest. So may be they people have some serious care about this. I am sorry if i have offended you.

i agree that is really wrong!!! these instructions were given to all of us for free. and now its being sold off! i hope ebay bans the guy that is trying to make money off of piracy! i would report to ebay but its not my work being copied and sold.
xda should take action!

I reported it to eBay and also posted a question saying "This information is availabel for free at xda-developers.com", which will appear at the bottom of the page.

Questions only appear at bottom of page if the ebay seller chooses to put them there, not just when anybody asks a question.

Oh...... Fail. lol

I don't believe xda needs to care about..
--
People buying this on eBay are most probably not too tech savvy and this can have a positive aspect as well :
-redundant questions will be directed to the seller and not (again) in anew thread here
But if somebody feels bothered by this, the best way would be to pm the buyer with the link to the free rom, this will most probably lead to a bad seller rating on eBay..
I personally don't mind, if I can sell something for $ although it is available for free, I am a lucky person then (or the buyer not too bright)
Maybe I should sell some air in a jar,- have some around here..

maybe..
not a bad idea
this might save people from making new threads, and staying updated..

Nah, a sticky would be a bad idea. It would be abused by people posting their own ebay auctions, which are of course not allowed to be posted on xda.

Upgrading? Want to pass along your SPH-D700 to a wannabe mod'er?

Hey forum newb here!
I was lucky enough to receive an SPH-D700 earlier this year as my first smartphone! :cyclops: Problem is its kinda busted up and the USB pins are broke.
So I'm really bummed I can't upgrade to CyanogenMod. At least not without a lot of trouble (attempting the latest MasterKey hack for example).
I know its a shot in the dark, but I thought I would just put the word out if any of you guys are upgrading and want to pass along your old phone to a wannabe mod'er... I'd really be interested.
I'm willing to pay shipping.
Send me a PM if you're interested!
Thanks!

You can use the Swappa link in the forum header. I'm not sure if the mods will keep this thread intact given the subject matter.

Oh I didn't realize if this might be off topic.
And just to be clear, I'm not looking to buy a phone right now. I'm just looking for a kind soul.
Doesn't hurt to ask.
But thanks for pointing out the Swappa link. Will consider it in the far future.

It's not that it's off topic, it's just that buying and selling is no longer allowed within the forums of xda. That's why there's the swappa link, so I'd head there first for a phone.
