Has anyone seen or used this website Cashforsmartphones.com? I was wondering how good their service is. They are offering $200 for selling them your Droid X, unless it has a cracked screen, doesn't power up, or if it is missing the battery. They give you way more than Verizon's Trade in program.
Never heard of it before but they are offering 25 for my Storm 9530 where VZW is only offering 2.80. Since I have two 9530s, i'll trade one in and see if I get the full 25.
Doesn't make sense. The ebay price is about $200 for the X, where is their profit? It's in telling you your phone was more used than the quote and now we are giving you $100.
I just sold my Blackberry Storm 2 on there for $100. I'm waiting on the packaging stuff to be delivered. Verizon wanted $44 for it.
Hope you guys respond back to this thread with whether or not that site's legit, I'd love to know for certain.
I was also curious about this website and how legit their buisness is. I wasnt able to find many reviews about it but i did stumble upon a topic on the macrumors forum for people trying to sell their old iphones. I imagine the same experience they had would apply to any item you were trying to sell.

For those who don't want to read the whole thing, lets just say you should stay FAR away from that site and the sister sites as well (cashforlaptops/ipads/berrys/iphones). They will give you a nice quote and then lowball you once you send in the device. If you ask for it back then they will up the offer just a little, but still nowhere close to the original "quote".
Do a bit of searching and if they're 1) not brand new and 2) don't have rampant negative reviews then you'll probably be alright.
gazelle.com is legit and offer's decent rates. Also they bump the offer a little if you take an Amazon gift card.
Hi Friends,
Any body tried this website cell2getdotcom. Gnote over there is 620usd plus free shipping and i have found a 25usd coupon as well. When i applied the coupon it was redeemed successfully, but i didnt go on with completing the order. Anybody ever bought anything from them.
I will call them in the morning to find out if they have any retail location. Google customer reviews are good and one customer was referring to a retail location in newyork.
Damn that's a good price. Lowest on Amazon is $699 right now. Tempted to pull trigger on this but still hesitant after returning my first gnote for screen issues. Let us know if you talk to them tomorrow...

the review is somewhat mixed for the site :x but ppl do get the phone they ordered. some come in perfect, some are locked, some are refurbished etc... so it's a gamble i guess. But since the note is still quiet new now, chance for a refurbished phone is pretty rare i suppose.

Definitely post back, please. I'd do a pickup too. But from their online rep, I'd wouldn't be surprised by bait 'n switch tactics. Most of the "good" comments are obviously manufactured - eg
Nice company to do business with. I don’t do reviews too often but felt compelled to share my overwhelmingly positive experiences so far these past four purchases. I just want to let everyone know that if you like shopping the old-fashioned way, then this is the way to go, with these folks!

Be careful!
I don't like the website it seems like they have everything.
Be very cautious of NYC based electronics websites. Unless it's a B&H Photo or other recognized business.
PATIENCE is the key. We have nothing to lose and everything to gain by waiting awhile.
Prices will go down, Development will be more matured, Many more used devices to chose from. Maybe something new comes out that's better. I have never been an early adopter. I respect those who are and love being the first on the block. I have saved hundreds and had far less headache waiting a while. Just bought the wife's SGS II used for $400 with a lot of accessories chargers and batteries, I bought mine used, Warranty new was not an option in the US anyway, May as well buy from someone who made it work for them.
Probably buy a used Note as well.. in a few months or when I see used prices below $500.
I ordered through cell2get, after reading reviews I was nervous. Online it says nothing about being out of stock but after making the charge and ordering it I received an email thanking me for my order. About 2 hours later i received another email stating they were out of stock. The money is still "pending" and I have not been refunded yet.
Edit: After 5 days my money has been refunded to my account.
"Cell2Get is one of the Nation’s largest cell phone retailers and is generally regarded as offering the best contract-free phone deals on the web"
Orrrrr, they could be a crappy fly by night store in Brooklyn that I've never even heard of (I'm from the area). That quote was from their "about" page. Dishonest on the page, dishonest to the customer's face.
Yep, i was on the verge of placing my order until i read the reviews and changed my mind.
Got it on craigslist factory sealed last week for 670 cash. Probably the cheapest you can find
And don't forget to send the link to the cell2get price to convince the craigslist seller to drop the asking price Works like a charm
Or use that link for anyone who promises price matches.
Disclaimer................I am no longer selling the Transformer due to the below story.
*So karma is a bi?!#. Yesterday while taking my 3 year old to potty at a restaurant my E4GT fell in toilet. I had just taken a picture of my family at the table and put my phone in my front shirt pocket. I don't normally put my phone there because I know what happened can happen but, I forgot. So I'm leaned over pulling my sons pants up when he jumps up and his head catches my pocket and pushes the phone right out and into the toilet. FFFFFFFFFUUUUUU££££$$$$$$!!!!! Yeah so I don't carry insurance on my phone because I have never broken or damaged a cellphone before. Doh! Yeah I immediately pulled the battery and and the restaurant gave me a bag of rice to put it in but, I don't have any high expectations since the phone was on when it went into the toilet. So now I have to sell the TF or do some kind of swap for a phone. So angry at myself, LOL* end rant
So I post my Transformer for sale on Craigslist last night. It's in mint condition and I have the original box and manuals. Also have a Case Crown case for it. I was selling it because my wife is awesome and bought me a Prime. I posted it for $350 or willing to trade for a 7 inch tablet and cash which the amount depended on what kind of 7 incher it was or some other crap like a E4GT or Photon. I said I was not willing to negotiate if it was a straight cash sale.
Anyways I am posting the text conversation between myself and some dude. I am am going to post it word for word except for *Redacted* things like names and or locations.
Him: Do you still have your transformer
Me: Yes I do
Him: Will you take 325
Me: No, sorry 350
Him: Oh well I have someone wanting 325 so Im going to talk to him
Me: Ok, sorry I just cant do 325
(Please keep in mind I have already had 2 other offers at $325 and I have declined them both)
Him: Alright its cool. If it doesnt go through can I contact you?
Me: Sure
Him: Hey man the other didnt come through
Him: Still have your tab?
Me: I do. Not going to be able to do anything tonight unless youre willing to drive to *Redacted* after 9pm. Im stuck at work until then.
Him: I can but can you do 325?
Me: I cannot. Sorry.
Him: Ok
Me: You still want it?
Him: Yeah
Me: I'll be home around 8:45. Dont take this the wrong way but, I have a CHL, so please dont try and rob me, ok? Good. I'll give you the address to my house, if you want to meet there, when I'm on the way home. I'd give it to you now but, my wife and kids are home alone and I don't know you from Adam.
For those that are curious a CHL is a Concealed Handgun License, which I do in fact have. Also I am not stupid enough to give him my actual address and would only have given him the street that backs up to my turn about which is another turn about. I live in a very affluent neighborhood in a very crime free city.
Him: Dude can just meet at a 7-11 or something
Me: Where are you coming from?
Him: Have you ever done Craiglist before?
Him: Coming from *Redacted*
Me: Yeah lots and someone tried to rob me a year ago next month.
This is true. Luckily my CHL came in handy, dude ran, I got his plates and the Police were able to arrest the idiot.
Me: I work in *Redacted* Same place he was coming from we can meet at my job tomorrow morning if youd like.
Him: Is your tab at your house? Because I figured we can just meet somewhere in *Redacted*.
Him: **Redacted*
Me: Yeah it's at home. If you want to do this tonight I can meet you at the *Redacted* Station on *Redacted* and Main in *Redacted*
Him: Well there is actually a *Redacted* Chicken right off of *Redacted* on *Redacted* if you wanna meet inside I'm kinda hungry lol and it's public
Me: Yeah but, then I have to go home, get my tablet, then drive to *Redacted* then drive all the way back home. See where I'm coming from?
Me: It's rooted too by the way. Not a problem right?
Him: Oh yeah! Sorry. Well that *Redacted* Station is fine. Just text me when you get your tab so.I can start heading to *Redacted*
Him: I was going to root it anyways lol
Me: Cool
Him: And don't worry I've been screwed on Craigslist before so I know where your coming from. So we agreed on 325 right?
I'm shaking my head at this point but, since he's tried so hard for 325.....
Me: No, lol. I'll do 340 because youre trying so hard for 325
Him: I wouldnt mind giving you an extra $15 because thats not much more nut $325 is seriously all I have. I have a few more quarters in my car but apart from
Him: the cash that's all I have(had to buy books For school)
I'm kinda gritting my teeth trying not to be PO'd cause he's wasted so much of my time, but I was a starving student once too....oh well
Me: Damn dude. Bring your 325 and quarters....sh**
Me: Good thing I'm a fu**ing sucker for a sob story
Him: Nah nevermind man.
Me: LOL seriously? After I just agreed to 325? Whatever, guy.
Him: Like your doing me such a grand favor by dropping it 25. I'm sure some other guy will buy it. Cheers
REALLY A**HAT!!?? WHAT THE EFF!! Yeah dude I feel like I am kinda doing you a favor by dropping it $25 when my post said I wouldnt negotiate and I already told you twice that I wouldnt sell for 325....But I'm not a jerk.....so
Me: Dude you worked me down 25 bucks when my post said I wouldnt negotiate. Ive passed 2 other offers of 325 down. Your textbook story is what sold me when the others couldnt. Never said I was doing you a favor but, instead of taking the deal and running with it, you get your feelings hurt over a good natured ribbing? The should have shown you I was joking. I don't need to sell this thing so it's not hurting me to keep it. Good luck, I hope you find what you want.
END
Effing people....This conversation started at 3:30pm today and finally ended at 8:05pm.....what a waste but, once I looked back at it I found it pretty amusing.
Anyone else have any funny stories about trying to sell their old gadgets?
Haha, you wouldn't like my dad, then. He is one of those that has to win in a negotiation, even if it's a 50 cents difference. I've seen him walk away from a really good deal simply because the seller refused to go down $10. This was a piano. My dad's a musician and he deals a lot with pianos. Both my brother and I at the time knew the piano was worth a lot more (probably twice to 3 times what the owner wanted). My dad also knew this. The owner didn't know the value and so wanted to sell it for $300. At the time, we could have sold the piano for $1,000 easy. Been dealing with pianos all our lives. Anyway, my dad wanted to bring bring it down to $250. The owner refused. After talking back and forth, my dad finally declared that if the owner was willing to sell it for $290, he'd buy it right away. The owner refused to budge. So, my dad left.
Again, we've been dealing with pianos all our lives. We could have resell that piano as-is for $1000 easy. But because my dad was hard-headed...
Anyway, can I buy your tablet for 349.99? That's all I have, I swear

Yeah but the dude was getting it for the 325 he wanted it for.

You're braver than I am. Selling stuff on amazon and ebay is as far as I will go. I stay away from craigslist like the plague. And I have an arsenal of guns in my place.
I try to believe the best in people but I'm prepared for the worst
when you post on CL you have to be prepared for offers even you dont accept them. Same goes for ebay.
That guy probably trolled u.

I've sold SEVERAL items on craigslist. What I usually do, I'll buy a new latest and greatest phone for upgrade price. In a year, I'll sell that phone for the price of a new upgrade phone. Therefore, I end up getting the newest latest and greatest phones for free. I can't tell you how many sob stories I get, with people trying to tell me there bad luck, and can I lower the price 50 bucks, 100 bucks etc. I even put that in my ads now. Please, no woe is me stories to get me to lower the price. The worst, is when you are dealing with someone for a few days, back and forth, and you keep saying the price is xxx amount. I won't take anything less. Then they always show up and say, oh, all I have is xxx cash. Will you take it? Then they continue to go on about how someone screwed them over, and they don't have the full amount. I never sell to them, and they end up wasting my time, gas, etc.... Still, quite frustrating, but I NEVER back down.
I can't tell you how many, "my wife has cancer, my brother has parkinsons, or some other disease", they made up. I understand trying to work the angle, but I think just about everyone knows this. Either way, it's frustrating. Stick to your guns man. You will get 350 for it.
I would have told the guy to do one after the first few lines of conversation
This is why I hate CL...

I was selling a car a couple years back and had a guy agree to the price. When we met up he starts telling me how he's a church pastor and was trying to get the car for one of his parish members who's daughter had cancer. Long story short he didn't even bring any money and wanted me to "donate" the car to him. I told him sure but I'd need a donation form and the number and address for his church as well as a copy of his ID and that I needed to talk to my lawyer so he could verify all the information the guy was going to give me. Dude started going on about how I needed to trust in God to tell me if it was ok and there was no reason for me to talk to my lawyer.....whatever, guy. Adios
Cl buyers annoy me. When I was selling my epic touch a dude offered me like half of what I wanted and wanted me to drive to him after I kept saying no to low balling.

lol I had a similar experience but not as bad. Was selling my old modded ps2 with like 100+ games for like $70. These two kids had like $68 in bills but the rest was change. I only accepted it because they were cool about it and I could tell they were gamers like myself and really wanted it.I had a cool like 20 min convo with them so that kinda helped too. turned out the car they drove was like on E and the money they gave me was all they had. I would have hit the floor if they asked me to spot them some gas money lmao.

My apologies. The stroll wasn't directed towards you, but the entire situation.
She wants an "ipad" but by that she means a tablet. I can NOT justify spending $500 on a 16GB ipad or $400 on a 16GB Nexus 10 for that matter. The Infinity is really the only high end one that I would jump on but that is way overkill for what she is doing (pics, vids, music, web browsing, kindle). So I started looking for "budget" tablets and it was down to this or the Xoom. Xoom is $259-$270 manufacturer refurbished but we all know the TF101 blows it out of the water and Newegg/Tiger are selling them for $229 refurbished right meow. I trust Newegg and they have an amazing RMA policy AND they have extended returns all the way through January 1st no questions asked and free shipping. Kind of hard to beat.
Newegg deal $229 free shipping
Very excited to be getting this. She is not crazy big into rooting or ROM'ing but I'll be on here looking around so if she has any complaints that can be addressed by a ROM or something (like cleanROM on the Infinity) it'll be GTG.
Any advice for me before I wrap it up and leave it under the tree for her to wonder wth it is? Obviously going to test it as it is a Refurb so I have time to send it back and get a new one if its bad but is there like... MUST have mods to do to it or should it work fine for her out of the box stock ICS? Again, she is not an Android nerd like I am and only cares that it works and is fast for what she is doing. She wont' be doing any gaming minus light stuff to shut up our 4 year old in the car lol.
Thanks XDA
Any reason why you aren't considering the nexus 7 for her?
Size and expandable memory. Like I said she is going to be using it for pics, videos, books and browsing. Size matters to my wife. Lol
why are you not considering tf300? it's Tegra 3 and you can get a brand new one for around $270. There were a couple of deals in the last week for that amount and i'm sure there will be more of these...
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk 2
I've had a TF101 from day 1 and just got a Nexus 7 to replace it. The TF101 has been good to me but wanted something faster, that could playback high profile encodes, easier to hold and under 400 bucks. I strongly considered the Nexus 10 but 16GB isn't cutting it anymore and I'm not paying 100 for another 16 gigs. I prefer non-metal construction so I love the nexus devices. The metal corners of the TF101 cut into your skin after a few mins. The no SD card was a big deal to me too but then I learned you can mount external storage if you just get a USB OTG adapter. For movies and music, not apps. I will miss the back camera most of all for video chatting, showing people things and my 1 year old doesn't exactly sit still. You will enjoy the TF101. If you want another used one let me know

I agree here, return te TF101, while it is still a good tab, don't get me wrong, but getting her the 300 would actually be A LOT better in the long run. Less issues, JB out of the box, and only minimal mods to make it work fluidly. If she is a heavy texter, then I would suggest preinstalling a few apps like Tablet Talk (by one of our DEV'S here.) and maybe a few others that you think she might want to have on it.
But definately return the TF101 and get the 300. You're only a few bucks more into it, and in the long run it will be further supported. ASUS has already stated that they will provide KLP for the TF300 and up, where as the rest of us will be stopped at JB (for official ROM'S).

Oh yeah I had no idea the TF300 was available NEW for that price. And the nice thing about getting it at BB is I can get a 1 or 2 yr warranty on it. I think I could have with Newegg too but I like being able to take things to the store and talk to a person, even if it is the geeksquad...
Going to order the TF300 now and I'll RMA the 101 to Newegg when it comes in probably tomorrow.
Edit: Just ordered, picking up in store, $299 after tax, the TF101 REFURB was $246 after tax so an extra $53 for a MUCH better tablet. And factor in the $25 gift card and that makes it $274. I can use the $25 to get a present for my brother in law or something so with the gift card only $29 more to go to a new TF300 from refurbished TF101. You guys rock and THANK YOU SDFGHI for those links. Heck I almost bought two but I don't see myself using a tablet really that much. I think the screen on my smartphone is big enough and if not I got a lapdock for it for $50 last month that turns it into an 11" Android netbook. If I do get one for me I'll probably be a selfish ass and get the Infinity for me lol.

You are quite welcome from my end. At least we can see that you thought it through clearly and decided that a LITTLE more for NEW was better then a little less for refurbished. Correct buying it at BB you can get the extended warranty, get the ACCIDENTAL DAMAGE ALSO. Found that out with my wife's DSLR, strap holder broke, letting the camera fall from her neck and hit the iced over concrete. It looked like that scene from Terminator 2 when the liquid metal terminator got froze then shot and exploded.
Sadly (not really) they no longer made or had available the same camera I had initially bought my wife, so they had to *sigh* upgrade her to the next one up. Now if I buy something from them I make sure to get the max extended warranty and the accidental damage coverage.
Also as a side note, just root it before she even opens it. Set it up for side loading and all all ready.
I might root it... I dunno its all nice in the shrinkwrap right now and I'd like her to open something brand new. Then again I'd probably be better off checking it... And damn I completely spaced my own advice on getting the protection plan. Probably should gander on back and pick it up for the tablet. Either way she's going to flip **** because she says she doesn't really want anything for xmas but I KNOW she is dying for a tablet.
Greetings!
I am going to USA tomorrow (from Denmark) and I have bought a Nexus 10 32gb. The thing is, the tablet exceeds the cost of items I am allowed to bring back home, so:
I was wondering if anybody who had purchased the Nexus 10 from the German Play Store would PM me, and send over the confirmation email so I can show that to customs and claim I bought it back home. They would do me a great favor
The mail contains no critical information, so I can't (and won't) abuse it in any way.
I hope someone can help me out, I'm a student so I can't afford to pay an extra $250 in customs to get the tablet into EU if I get stopped
Why do you care that a tablet cost exceeds the import cost ?
No one really check what you're bringing with you in EU airports.
If you're really paranoid, just unpack the device and pretend you had it for ages.
I am gonna have it unpacked, but you can get grabbed by customs when you come back from USA, and if I had a purchase receipt from e.g. Germany I would just feel a lot more secure, since this is the only expensive object I am bringing back

Unpack it and throw away a box. It will be impossible to proof for them that you've bought it in the US. If you really need a box, just post it via US post declaring it worth 0 euros.

Yes, I agree with jodvova! Just use the tablet normally, throw the box away and before you land touch it a few times with sticky fingers... I don't know how much you paid, but at staples the price is $500, in € that would 375,88. On the official EU-Website it's said that the maximum value of an "electronic excise device" has to be under 430€ for air and sea travelers. Anyways is the N10 worth the money? Does your's have any problems with light bleed, gaming etc.? Just asking, because I'm also coming from EU and will travel to USA soon, totally gonna buy it there (since it's not available in my country...)
