If you buy an EVO 4g off craigslist for the price they are selling them for, you deserve it. I think it'd be cheaper to buy it on a new line for 199.99 and take the ETF.. LOL
all the ones around the atlanta area were for around $650... I think I can wait a week and get mine for $199.
However, I can't say it didn't cross my mind to bust out my check book.
I wish I could just put myself into a cryogenic sleep for 10 days.
... on a side note, that might be the nerdiest, most pathetic thing I've ever said.
There's more of a cost than just ETF, taxes, etc...
I got mine pretty cheap, cheaper than the $199 cost + ETF, so for me anyway I won at your logic..
Plus if you get one of the I/O phones, you get an extra $10 off your monthly cost (which they don't list it as a year or two year thing either...) because it's a dev phone.

where'd you get one for less then 199???????????/ tell me plzzzzzzz
people paying like 6bills heck even 7 are the dumb ones..
Someone here in Orange County was selling his boyfriend's for 350, he said he got it for a tech blog to review and just needed to get rid of it. Don't think they knew how much it really was worth. D;

$199 + ETF is not less than $199.
I myself am going a route that is not to be discussed on this forum... but I don't want to buy a phone for $450 + Taxes (around here it's roughly 10%), so in the end it'd have been close to $500. So instead of that, I paid less than $400 with a free month of service (including 4g, and the option to go the dev plan route later).
But yes, $600-700 is too much, but there's a decent amount of people out there with more money than time. Just like Wii, iPhone, etc.
I paid 500 for mine straight up, new in box. After having it a week I will say it was worth every penny! This is the device I have been waiting for all my life.
i'm excited for the phone, but you guys are like fiending for it... the device you've been waiting for all your life?
I got mine for $500. It is out for delivery right now. The anticipation is killing me!
None listed for my area but I can wait some people are flipping out to get it early

Same here. I'm not remotely eligible for upgrade yet, so I'd be paying $450 + tax for it anyway. $500 for the phone and getting in on the $10 off via the Google I/O dev deal is worth it!
So I want to sell my Xoom, I was lame and should have returned it within the 14 days, VZW isnt like Sprint and gives you 30 days (lame). Any way I will either buy a Samsung or a WiFi Xoom, I just do not want to be married to VZW for 2 years (have sprint and dont plan on going anywere anytime soon).
Have it on CL for $550 if someone assumes the contract, comes with case, perfect condition.
Does this sound fair?
Worst case, you can try Gazelle, see what they offer you if you don't get any hits.
The going price on eBay seems to be 700-750 right now
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
With a contract, it is $600 new from vzw with none of the hassle of transfering the contract. You might need to go a touch lower than $550. But, you never know. Some people are stupid and have no idea what it is worth. Example - I sold my ipad a week before the Woom came out for $750. Considering a new one was $829 and newer tablets were literally weeks away, that guy must have been crazy.
If you really want rid of it, I'd try to ebay it for $700ish and eat your Verizon ETF.
Outside of the return period, you're going to take a hit.
Yeah... married to a 2 year contract I'd be hard pressed to shell out over $400 for a used tablet in any condition. I hope you get at least $400-500 for it!
PS: You should put a post in the main marketplace subforum, you will get better responses.
I've had a few people offer 750 off contract for it. Leaves me $400 after ETF and eating tax and activation.
I'll give it a few days, see what happens.
Im not trying to sell it here, was just seeing what everyone thought of my pricing.
Damn Im an idiot for being an early adopter. THought I'd use the data more than I do.
So Best Buy has a trade In program, Where you can trade in your old device for credit Towards you new one. At first I thought It was a good Idea, Intil I saw they will only give $150.00 for my current Note 10.1. Is It just me? or is this a complete rip off? I understand they have to re-sell and make money. Everywhere I Look online, used Note 10.1 going for $300 min. So Best Buy Doubling there money seems a little selfish to me. will anyone be taking this offer? If not what Will you be doing with the original 10.1?
Tmobile is doing something similar, which offer I did take advantage of. I traded in my Note 2 for credit towards my Note 3. Tmobile is offering $275 for the Note 2. Which I thought was far. Cause they do have to resell and make a profit.
I Looked how much best buy was offering for note 2. Which is $200 and only If in perfect condition. If all Best Buys trade in's are giving offers like these, I Cannot see how anyone would want to do it, Has anyone used Best Buy's trade in service? Where you satisfied? How much did you get, for what device?

They aren't quite doubling their money. Many people turn in damaged tablets without all the accessories. It's the lemon theory of economics at work. It's also a lot of trouble to get rid of a tablet at full market place. You need a good reputation to sell on ebay or risk the fact you might get murdered or raped on craigslist. And best buy is a business. You are paying for the convenience and they make money off your. Don't feel entitled; you are not required to sell to them; its a nice option for people with busy lives that actually don't have the time to pinch pennies and get maximum value reselling their old tablets.

Like I said I no there a business and need to make money. I just realized I'm buying way to many tablets! I guess I just wished they would offer more, if so I would take the deal. After the new 10.1 I'll have 4 other tablets just laying around. Cause I always end up using the latest and greatest. I just figured if tmobile could offer $75 more then best buy. Then best buy might be a Lil on the cheap side lol..
I sold mine for$200. I was going to get the new Samsung but decided to just get a laptop instead.

And here's a cool thing. I bought my 6045i from Amazon.com on Dec 5 for ~$250. I saw this price drop, chatted with a CSR and he instantly with no hassle gave me a $50 credit back to my credit card.
Wow. Decent price drop. Wonder if it'll stay that price or if it's a limited time holiday special. Those contemplating on buying this phone need to act now.

..and if you want to double dip most credit cards nowadays have "price protection" and if you show them the ad plus your original receipt they have an insurance policy that will also cut you a check...that's how I got MY $50 back when the price dropped to $200 for one day only back in mid june or so...I purchased mine in may. Amazon typically will only do price adjustments within 10 days of purchase.
Awesome deal. I paid $179 during a promotion around launch time but after rooting and flashing cm12 it is easily worth more than $200.
Why is everyone so happy? 95% of the people that want this phone already have it. When they drop the price it just lowers the resale value.

The idol 3 was never gonna have very good resale value even if price stayed at $249 until idol 4 is released. I plan on keeping mine as a backup since the display and speakers are great and it runs a lot better on cm 12.1 or vanir. Should also get some MM ROMs in the near future.

The resale price would have been fine if they would stop discounting it into foodstamp range. The $150 sale on Cricket practically makes it worthless and now the unlocked version is back to pre order. $250 is a solid ask for the hardware, they are just insulting us by cheapening our product they refuse to update.

Do you think that the amount of people attempting to re-sell the phone outweigh the amount of people looking to buy a brand new phone for a very low price? Your argument makes no sense for anyone involved outside of yourself...

And why wouldnt i not buy a 200 dollar phone and keep it for three years? So your saying because i pay 200 dollar for a phone theres no point in keeping it for three years? Lmao wow ok i see now why samsung and apple dont have to work hard to get people like you in the stores to upgrade in couple months!!!
Actually what i'm saying is they are costing me money. If someone snatched $60 out of your pocket you wouldn't be so happy.

Now I feel really dumb. I fell for the pre-order rush to get a $200 discount which I used for Samsung extra's I didn't really need or want. This is less than a month after official release. I would have preferred to just save the extra $200. I wonder if the same thing will happen with the S7+ which I have on pre-order.

I completely agree with you. Early adopters know what pitfalls they are in for. Whether early software bugs or full retail price at launch, there is a cost associated with being first to the table. I feel no remorse about jumping in head first, do so every year. Sammy is out to make a profit and they got my sold without saying much.

Lmao you're like me, Samsung has me opening my wallet every year and they don't even have to do much. I always trade in so it never really hurts me because I put 50 dollars a month away towards the next phone and just put 50 dollars into the savings account on the 1st just this month when I pay most of my bills. There's some of us who just have to be first in line and we could care less about the price usually but I could see how it would bother some people though because when I was ordering at the time I wanted to see what the price was without the trade in and the phone itself was 1,299 without the military discount and after taxes it was almost 1,500 dollars so I'm guessing not many people have that much to dump right now. All in all it was worth it to me I love this thing but there's too many people nit picking about stupid crap such as the battery but with the speed this thing charges at its like no big deal.

I'm not entirely mad myself. It happens with tech, even video games. discounts happen due to poor first month or first week sales. I still made out with the sudo BOGO($1000 off 2nd phone) deal with Verizon since I switch both my lines. Then again we'll see in the next few weeks how much the gap closes in on me.
If you received yours late and are still in the 14 day window you can price match. I received mine last week and with the new 200$ off pricing I was able to price match to Best buy for an additional refund. I believe the item has to ship, but you simply go to chat and let them know that you would like to price match to best buy's 200$ off price. They will ask for a link directly to your exact model of N20U and once you provide that they approved my price match. 2 Hours later I received a notification of refund. I ended up getting an even better deal by getting it late. All discounts, free accessories, cancel credit and price match!
Samsung will price match Best buy. I got $200 credited back which after education discount, trade in, and cash back, I am around $700 out the door for 512 GB note 20 ultra

You shouldn't feel any type of way about it. It's the enthusiast tax. If you want it on release date with the earbuds to boot it's OK to pay a $200 premium. Worst case just sell your buds live and recoup most of your money if it makes you feel better :cyclops:
