Please have some time to read this
Any recommendations?
Thanks for reading
Did you buy it off of Ebay? They may refund your purchase price.
Did you use Paypal to pay for it? They might help you, too.
Very sad thing, amigo.
Buyed on another country where system for refund a device is different...I´ll be getting a refund but for a lower value
Yes Amigo, very sad indeed
If you see a good deal around please let me know
Ok, life is good to me
I found another great deal for an unlocked Snap and this time I got it!!!

Good luck
Q.
greetings !
My name is Jehal kangoosariam , I would like to pay £70, 000 for your item by western union - I am buying it for my brother in Nigeria as a pancake day present ........ :lol:
seriously mate - just tried to sell mine on ebay and got so much crap it was unbeleivable ! gave up in the end
Good luck though (and be careful ! )
Ha ha! So true.
I have already had responses from people such as this ... a jumble of words so random and bizarre as to have surely been run through google's translation service and then read out into a bad speech recognition program by a Guatemalan goat herder with a slight hunch and a hare lip.
Thought I would post a reminder! I always forget to bid on auctions and therefore don't win. Only 3 hours left to bid for your chance to be a winner! Don't miss out!
Hi there - hope the auction goes well - how did you unlock it - or was it unlocked by default?
Aution won by a new user with no feedback - good luck with that... :wink:
Cheers,
Steve.
Hi it was unlocked by default.
Oh ye of little faith!
It was bought by a charming lady in London.
Who wanted it shipped to her husband.
In Nigeria.
It's legit right?! :roll:
Scam the Scammers
I read about this guy who sold his powerbook, and it was bought by an obvious scammer. He sent a big woden block with POWERBOOK written on it and old keyboard keys stuck on it, and posted it to the guy in nigeria, claiming its value as $1200. Of course, the guy who received it gladly payed the 20% import tax on it from customs and excise, as well as the $50 recorded delivery cost. I honestly suggest you do the same, shaft these low-lifes who waste our time
Also, in the auction, block buyers will -1 or less feedback...
a few weeks ago i sold a iPAQ hx2110 ob ebay. Not for bidding, for "Buy-now". Who boughts it? An Australien who wants me to ship to Nigeria.
Is there anything you can sell on ebay without selling it to these damn bastards of the nigeria connection???
Hope you sell it the next time to a "real" buyer!
I suppose, if they pay for the goods, then does it matter where you send it? The key thing is that they do actually pay. One other problem is that if they use PayPal with a stolen credit card, then apparently, the funds can be withdrawn from you at a later time - not nice at all. I think PayPal should be more rigorous about that sort of thing and take responsibiliy in that situation. Some hope.
Cheers,
Steve.
just create your auction, using a BUY-IT-NOW with immediate payment only, that way they have to pay you in order to close the auction. I've used that each time I've sold any electronic item since someone tried to scam me when I sold a mobile phone a few years back. Never had any problems since
Please, the store I got it from won't take back my phone unless I have the molded cardboard insert.
I will pay you cash, paypal or otherwise (sexual favors) if you can get me a cardboard insert or complete box (EXCLUDING THE OUTSIDE SLEEVE WITH IMEI/SN, I DONT NEED THIS).
Please, please, I have tried other forums and I am still out of luck!
If you have it, please PM me, I am 750$ 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?

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!
Hi!
I'd like to buy LG eXpo (GW820/825), so if someone wants to sell it and is willing to send it waaay to Europe, please let me know.
No screen scratches please (screen protector used from the start), minimum visible usage and a warranty cards or any other proof of purchase for a possible reclamation with the manufacturer and/or AT&T.
Members with some posting history preferred (no one-post-wonder scammers).
Thanks
you could probally find a seller on american ebay that would see you an expo for a pretty good deal.
I know and I monitor eBay. But it I encounter many problems there:
- Seller does not send abroad.
- Seller does not have a warranty card.
- Seller can't provide quality photo of the phone.
- Seller does not communicate.
So I try even this approach
good luck to you. I hope you can get an expo this forum is lonely.
Yeah, but this one is better
i am ready to sell the phone let me know

If you really want one I will sell you mine for $300 I really like it but I have a few other phone I could use. Very good condition with a screen protector on it from day one. I still have the box and everything that came with it.
I posted mine there too...and if you really want, i guess i can ship it to you
Same here ill sell and ship. Also good condition. Like to get abt 225 out of it
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
mine for sale too, with about 10 pcs of accessories ,
let me know,
btw, im on lg-expo.com too, and few ppl mods r friends of mine! so no worries
let me know if you still looking.
Thx.
Thanks for your offers. I got Acer M900 in the meantime, so for the time being my demand for LG eXpo is not actual. If I find the Acer not suitable for my needs, I'll renew this thread.

Summary:
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.
