Buy a G1 on Ebay or Elsewhere

This seller seems to have multiple G1's to sell, the price is insane but that's what you get for a pre-release device, if anybody's interested go for it and come back with information.
Weeeeeeee

I think I will wait until mine comes in on the 22. That price is ridiculous. $850 buy it now. ROFLMAO!!

damn i paid more than that lol

G1 For Sale
I can get a G1 for a pretty good price, more than the retail will be but it hasn't released and will sell out quick, so yeah. Would anyone be interested in a G1 for like $600 shipped, I'll send it out on Monday morning overnighted USPS with insurance? Brand new, still in box. Let me know.

hey...buddy...wanna buy a watch?

Or perhaps an Iphone?......LOL
Just kidding

I actually do need a nice watch, my last Citizen watch finally broke after like 5 years. My wrist feels empty.
As for the iPhone, I have an iPhone 3G brand new in box like 8 feet away from me... And no intentions and/or temptations of removing it from the factory packaging.
Back to the G1, I think I have someone set to buy, but I'll update here later on.

Isn't full price $399...? Only having T-Mobile specific 3G bands, the G1 wouldn't get past EDGE on other carriers like AT&T...

Exactly, it would only get EDGE on AT&T... Why do you think I'd never buy one for myself?
And yeah, full price is $399 but considering they're already sold out and then some on preorders, good luck getting one any time soon.
I could get the phone for like $450-460 shipped right now, but like I said, I have no use for it. There are people paying $1000+ for them, so I figured 600 wouldn't be too bad for both sides.

The pre-order alottment is sold out, yes. The stores in 3G areas will be getting them on Oct. 22nd though. I guess if someone in a non-3G market wanted one ASAP and didn't want to wait until 11/10 -- might be happy to find you

There won't be plenty in stores, if you preordered before October 3rd you'll get yours shipped 22nd-23rd, if you preorder after it'll take them longer to get it to you. I'm willing to bet this turns out to be a lesser iPhone surge, but like I said it's irrelevant to me because I have AT&T. I was going to buy and re-sell it, instead I just gave the guy who asked me contact info of where to get it for $460, I'm too lazy to go through that.

Yeah can't say im shocked about people like this who try and rip people off, if i had that much money to spend on a phone it sure wouldn't be spent on the g1!!

Pretty expensive right? 626,95 USD (4 670,03 SEK) incl shipping to Sweden + tax and customs, but what options do you have when ordering to Europe? Is there a better deal, preferrable "Buy it now"?
Maybe I should wait till it reaches the UK or what do you think? I'm getting tired of waiting of Android to be ported to my current HTC...

I got an offer of $400 shipped to me, I don't consider that to be outrageous at all. When the phone comes out, what will it cost? $400 + shipping.

I have mine for a few hours and already have it listed on eBay. I had to just touch it and look at it and now .. UP FOR AUCTION. I have the Xperia on order. I think it comes the end of the month. All I know is Windows Mobile.
Any way .. the phone is awesome. The thing I like the best as to the way it is built is the slide mechanism of the keyboard,. I think I have owned just about every GOOD PHONE out this year, including the HTC Touch Pro .. this keyboard is the nicest and the feel and the weight is just perfect. Hoping I like my Xperia as well ...

... I couldn't do it .. My auction was over $300 and I cancelled all bids and put my sim card back in. I will probably still buy the Xperia when it comes out - unless I fall in love with the dream. And if I don't I think I will give the Dream to my son rather than 'scalp' it on eBay.
Haven't had time to figure out how to just do the simple things .. I want to learn how to voice dial .. When I close a program is it really CLOSED or is it still running in the background sucking the life out of my battery ?? Maybe tonight I will take a closer look . . couldn't skip work 2 days in a row.

Viable to purchase unlocked g1's off ebay?
Hey guys,
I've found some "unlocked" handsets on ebay for sale, but was wondering if they would still be restricted to the 2g network??
As that's where I thought they were currently with their "unlocking" process...
Also does T-Mobile do anything special in order for gmail to push mail to the device, or is that just like controlled entreily over a standard data connection?

2g/3g isn't a restriction. Its a hardware limitation.

When the phone is fully unlocked it will work on any network with both 2G and 3G.

From what I know it will not work with ATT 3G as they are different frequencies and I have heard lots of problems with peoples Unlocked G1's syncing to google/gmail under other carriers other than T-Mobile.

Should I get the HD now??

Should I get this lovely device now or wait for a while? my concern is the price!!!

yes as it is a good device.

wait to see new roms, now Diamond is better...or iphone

Well, waiting will bring the price low and also new ROM will be available but by that time newer devices will be available and you will impress no one.

I just ordered my from expansys. I was in the same position but I have read all of the reviews and played with it in the shop and I was really impressed. When I left the shop I wanted the phone more. Buy it either sim free or on contract which is what I did.

I second every word of this

of course u should get it now.
i got mine last week and i ****in love it. there is no phone better
lol at the guy saying the iphone and the diamond are better. especially the iphone. haha
i got mine for $790 with free shipping on ebay from a guy in miami, fl
i paid $710 cuz i had a 10% discount

I think the price is basically quite low, so I wouldn't expect it to get much lower before long.
What makes me wait a bit is I got so disappointed buying the Touch Pro when it hits the stalls, that I prefer now to wait and see more comments and ROM' improvements before going for the Touch HD.

who cares if it doesn't turn heads... as long as it turns your head it will be fine. read around on what the phone can actually do and see if it still excites you. remember you get what you pay for... i love the phone so far. great screen and the fact that I can customize every little detail to my personal liking is a plus.

thank you everyone i will proceed with my order now

AT&T 3G compatible Nexus One

https://www.google.com/phone/choose?hl=en&gl=US&s7e=
I hope they will subsidize it for us..

Who cares!?! That's great news!

ATT hates google and android, as shown by their using yahoo search in their "Backflip" so I'm doubting whether they'd subsidize it.... although it would definitely be a good thing, for all of us

Ordered my Nexus One - should be here tomorrow!! Fedex by 3pm... they offered free overnight shipping!

Ordered mine like around 4pm EST and I selected the overnight shipping option as well... so hopefully its here by tomorrow (oh btw I returned my BackFlip earlier today too LoL)

finally!! now i have to sell my acer liquid...

OMFG, I just got my backflip in and now the Nexus is released.. The Nexus looks awesome but I think I would miss the keyboard to much.

Funds
I wish I had enough money to spend on N1. Dying to get that. Stuck with mytouch.
@ elijah
Seen you on ATT forum as well. Dont understand you promoting ATT or trying to make ATT get cheaper android phones. Google launching an ATT 3G supported N1 is no step by ATT to give its customers anything.

The FedEx man delivered my N1 at around 11am yesterday... I'm still filled with excitement, its like I can't put it down. Sort of miss the keyboard on my Backflip but i'm slowly adjusting to the on-screen keyboard on this, played around with the speech-->text feature a few times too. Overall i'm just happy with this device and android, the Backflip being my first and now this.

Got my N1 today as well. First thing I did is setup VOIP provider and Google Voice which I use a lot. Just loving the N1 ...

Got my N1 Thursday! Love it so far . . .

I like how Google just released it with no fanfare and no joint announcement with AT&T. That tells me AT&T isn't supportive of it.
In fact, am I the only one that feels like buying the Nexus One is like giving AT&T a big middle finger since they obviously don't want to sell anything other than the iPhone?
Isn't it great?!
-Mc

Mine should be here tomorrow. Can't wait.
Suck it AT&T. Iphone is crap.

Wtf Nexus one worth 270 dollars?

So, I just sold my baby to my mom because I am leaving for the Navy in January. I'm still using the phone until I leave, but I sold it for a cool 150. I thought it was a fair price. However, I just came across this site called buymytronics and their site says the phone is worth $270! I checked the price on both the HTC HD2 and the 16 GB Iphone 3G, both only fetch about 120 in flawless condition.
I know Nexus's(Nexi?) are sort of a collector's item now that they are discontinued and only around 130,000 sold in the US(Pcworld article is my source). I just thought it as kinda interesting that some random site is willing to pay 270 for a phone when others of similar spec and much more popular are going for less than half of that. I almost want to contact the people that the site and ask WTF is up with that.
Oh, well I guess we can all revile in the fact that we have the the phone with the best resale value on the market However, if you are looking to upgrade, that Nexus S looks pretty sick, now might be the time to sell it to this stupid site.
Btw, I know multiple people who have sold electronics on this site, so it's not some cheetos covered nerd in his basement BSing all of us.

Which version was it..T-Mobile or ATT? You can still get the Tmo version by being a developer I'm pretty sure. Not sure where you can still get a New N1 with ATT bands though. That may increase its value?

I had to hunt down my 3 N1s I recently got and spent around $350 each and thats considered a great price. Mine were in brand new condition, with no scratch or mark anywhere. 1 of them has some dust on the bottom of the screen. Ebay sellers with good feedback get $380+ on mint condition tmo n1s, $400+ for att versions.

I sold mine last week for $500 AUD ($502.25 USD) and was the T-mobile model.
Not bad considering I paid $600 AUD for it 6 months ago. They are holding their dollar value really well in Australia.

i bought mine off someone on CL locally about 3 weeks ago for 300 with the box and all accessories, it was in good condition but had been dropped once and has a few dings from the fall as well as a small scratch on the screen. it was a screaming deal for sure. most people want at least 350 if not more. most t-mobile ones on ebay sell for around 400 and broken ones will sell for anywhere from 100-200+ dollars (i know i bought and resold a broken one hoping to fix it but ended up finding the one i got now for 300)

It doesn't specify which carrier it is. It just pops up the HTC Google Nexus One. I tried searching for a T-Mobile Nexus One no luck same listing.

That's crazy. Mine is in mint condition. I have never dropped it on a hard surface; carpeted only and that was only a couple of times. I guess my mom got a killer deal. I told her she needs to take care of it. If Nexus phones keep value you never know I might make money off of it one day. I will probably buy it back from my mom once I get back from RTC because I will have a ton a money and nothing to do with it.

i just paid $400 on ebay for my att n1, mint condition with CM6.0 and root already loaded up... i considered that a great deal, since i had been seeing plenty of att n1's goin for $450-500.
these are great phones, and that guy got a steal even for a tmob version.

Never sell your nexus one. It was the beginning of an era. It belongs in a museum.

I am just wondering wht you would call it a "stupid site" seems to me it is a site that knows what it is doing!

haha this thread is pretty interesting. Idk how much my rooted running CM6 would cost. been dropped a few time and there is one small scratch on the bottom. overall it's great though. especially i take care of the screen even though the multi-touch is crappy as hell but just a small problem. I paid $30 for a piece of sticky plastic made by zigg to cover it. but all the deals you guys been saying would probably be half of my nexus two. only if the nexus two will rock my face like my baby N1 did. otherwise I'm keeping it.

oh yeah thumbs up for the Google Museum

The funny thing is it is a stupid site. They will pay me a whole 47 or something odd dollars for my mint condition Nook. I freaking paid 185 for that new. I paid 550 for my Nexus and they will give me half that. Roughly, they are willing to pay 20 percent more on the dollar for my Nexus than my Nook even though the Nook is in better shape and has less wear. Also, the suckers that out right bought an Iphone, or even signed a two year contract, get only 120 for their phone. I just wish I had more obscure tech than this site is willing to buy for top dollar.
I like the idea of a Google museum. I had a G1, one of my brother's friends has a Cliq, my old boss has a MT3G. Most of those are antiques by now. I say we start tomorrow lol

Hell, I needed the money. I sell all my old tech to my family. I figure I can keep tabs on my family's tech needs better if I already know how to run it all. I'm the only tech savvy one in a family of 12, so there is a lot to do. So, I cut operating costs, opps I meant time lol, by letting them use the stuff I already had fun with. My Zune 32 Gb is going to my dad, and my computer is going to my sister when I leave in January for the Navy. Now they can call me any where in the world and I will understand what the hell they are going through. Although I really wish they didn't. I'll probably running a nuclear reactor or something when my mom calls to whine about how the touch screen is going out of wack on my old phone.

Well does anyone have one that they want to sell cause I would like to buy
Sent from my HTC Magic using XDA App

never sell! You can't even get the ATT version any more can you?
This is honestly the first phone I've EVER owned that is COMPLETELY scratch-less almost a year after purchase... that's taking absolutely NO special care of it either... I treat this thing like it's a set of car keys and FLAWLESS even today. That's the majority of the incentive for me hanging on to it for so long and not jumping to another phone... prior to this I was changing phones 3-4 times a year all 500+ a pop.

Exactly, spoiled people like you dont count unless you have been feeling our pain today

yes
god when does this fone come out i need it!!

I swear this phone should be flawless about time it gets into our hands, the wait has been enough

Yea,
I don't think it will be flawless though.
I am going into a T-Mobile store today to look at the G2. Also to find out about a year contract instead of a 2yr contract. I had a year contract that expired a couple of months ago and can't see myself having the same phone for 2yrs.
Online and on the phone they are not offering it, but I heard from a couple of places that they may be offering it in-store.
I am just not sure about the DVP.

I myself have been looking at the webpage daily and sometimes hourly.
Anyways, I am sold on the DVP, I know it is going to be my next phone & I am ready to put down the $200 for the 2-year contract. I played with the HD7 & Windows Phone 7 is definitely a great OS, its smooth, beautiful, and functional (which the previous Windows Mobile wasn't). All Windows Phone 7 can do is just get better & better, hearing about a January update which might add a few nice features, it just makes me want it even more.
