10.1 16 GB Tab Metallic Gray for Sale

Steve Jobbs is still a pain in my a$$ from the afterlife... My wife must have a iPhone now that it has come to Sprint so I'm selling my Galaxy Tab. I've had it since release day but it is in great condition... It's always been a case. It is rooted and currently running a TW Rom but I can load what ever you want or just leave it as is if you know what you're doing. I'm asking $350 paid through pay-pal or local buyers near Sheppard AFB. Any takers?

Just get her the iPhone 3gs, she won't know what version it is, ios looks the same on everyone of there devices. And it is free!

Go done to $385, bestbuy sells Refurbrished tabs for $400, & the iPhone 4s is only $ 200, tell her wait & save up. No point in lossing money on the tab to buy a slightly updated iPhone.

I'll better that I'll take 350.... and shipping is included.. anyone?

Deprecation

Im going to go on a 24 month contract, looking at S3 or maybe the One X. What I'm worried about though is I bought my current Sensation XE SIM free for £450, about 6 months ago and now they are selling for about £200-250 I think.
Will the S3 keep its value better? How did the S2 hold value? New to Android, had iPhones before which Sid hold value well I thought
Cheers

The second buy a smartphone it is basically worth half what you paid for it. Fact of life. Doesnt really matter what you buy.
If you happen to buy something good though it will maintain that value for a year probably.

Expect the S3 to quickly lose value after autumn where superior devices will be released... Performance wise this device is sadly not as future proof as the S2 was at its release.

Except for an iphone.
Depending on how you got it, it actually rauses in price.
$1 gets you a reply

Certain phones are more desirable than others and therefore hold their value well on ebay and such.
GS2 is still one of the more desirable ones and can be sold for £250+ on ebay or recycled for £230. (after around 18 months)
Personally I reckon the GS3 will be just as popular and will hold its resale value well.
Obviously it's not in the iphone levels, but normal consumers know the galaxy s brand and it will probably stay in relatively high demand until the GS4
I see the HTC One X selling for £300 BNIB on ebay.. Although it's an excellent phone, I don't think it will be as lucky as the GS3

only apple products keep their market value because of the fact that apple uses price fixing tactics.

Yeh Apple do keep better price, I don't think I'll buy another or brand new again unless part of a contract as looks like I'm going to lost about £225, 50% after 6months

Sad fact
It is actually a sad fact to see the Galaxy S series loses value more than the iPhone series, simply because I think that Galaxy is so much better in terms of flexibility and "mod-ibility".

Apple products hold their value better because there are alot of idiots with more money than sense.

Not necessarily true, the SGSII hasn't lost a lot of it's value just look online therefore i doubt the GS3 will

Slight correction: phones with less competition better maintain their price (because there are fewer alternatives). The moment that viable competitors come out, the price will drop.
The iPhone is sufficiently differentiated, through brand alone, that many consumers are willing to consider it apart from all the competition. And Apple is smart enough to limit competition with itself by only releasing once in a gray moon. (Also by suing the hell out of everyone who has the audacity to release a rectangular phone.) So there you go.

You could be on the receiving end of this trend if you want; just wait a few months and you can buy it for hella cheap. It's sort of a gamble though; the Galaxy S2 held up price pretty well (it's differentiation was probably beat only by the iPhone or the Note), and it remains to see whether the S3 can do the same.

Fair enough but I would suggest that the Galaxy S series has reached some level of brand recognition..so that when lay consumers (rather than us tech geeks) think of the best phones available, they think first of the iphone and then of the galaxy S series.
I reckon that after the initial depreciation (from selling second hand), the GS3 will hold its value well until the next GS phone..
Or at least I hope it will because I'll be getting a GS3 once it comes out!

The Galaxy S II was so good because it was better then every other phone on the market, the Galaxy S III is just a bit better, or at least on par with other phones now.

What other phone is faster than the SG3? What other phone dose what the SG3 dose?
Anyhow the SG2 is still selling for loads and even phone recycle places pay over £200

50% drop?
Then that means it is down more than 50%

Not right now, but just wait and see. Even the dualcore S4 Krait matches its speed on certain tests, there will be more ARM's A15 chips coming in near the future.
That is not to say its a bad phone, but it's not a major leap like the SII was. The price is already a give away imo, $700 after VAT, so before that its cheaper. The Nexus and Note was $800 when they were released. I think that's simply a good thing though since phones were getting too expensive. We have the OneX at $600, S3 at $700, Nexus at $400. I think its positive for consumers, could be $50 lower still.

When I saw the title I was wondering what's being condemned.

Just Been Offered....

OK not sure if I will get burnt at the steak for posting this, but a friend of mine is looking for a android. He has a unlocked IPhone 5. Not sure on memory. Think it could be a 16gb.
He wants my N4. Is it worth it.
My first idea is to swap it and sell the iPhone and just buy a new N4.
I have also said why not sell the IPhone 5 and buy one but he can't be bothered with the hassle off selling his.
What you all think.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2

Definitely swap. iPhones are far more valuable than Nexuses, you should theoretically be able to make an easy profit from this.

Flip that stuff man make yourself like a hundred buck profit and get a new n4 out of the deal

Make the swap,the bottom line is always cash. You get a phone that is worth a lot more IF it's ok. Sell it, buy another N4 and have some spending money.

Depends on how well you like this friend and how much your time is worth to you. Yes, you would probably make a profit by selling the iphone, but how much? If you sell on ebay, then your profits will be lower. Plus I don't know what condition the iphone is in. I've heard the anodized aluminum doesn't hold up well.
If you have your N4 setup and working the way you want it to, then I suggest keeping it. If it were me, I'd just help my friend sell his iphone.

IPhone 5 is like 700$ new off contract....
Sent from my Nexus 4 @1.5 GHz on Stock 4.2.1

Firstly, check how much that iPhone with comparable capacity, condition, etc is selling for on your local craigslist page.
That will tell you how much you will realistically get for that phone.
You also have to factor in wait time. How long will you be without a nexus? Is whatever potential profit worth that time, risk, and effort?
Up to you, just do your research. Good luck.

if you are broke then sure why not but if you are not broke then why waste your time?
sell your device wiped and back to stock for your friend plus taking in the iphone means down time from your google eco system,
to me this would be more of a headache and a nuisance than a possible measly 100 dollar profit.
you have to wait for someone to buy the phone
then meet and sell it
then go buy another one
wait for the new one to arrive
then setup and download all your apps again
recustomize phone to your liking and set all apps back to what they were before
overall just seems more of a pain in the butt than anything

Make it into a Barter Kings episode..... turn your Nexus into a Lexus.....it may take a few trades but you can do it.

I did that only with a iPhone 4 and a HTC Desire HD. LOL. At the time i was going to get the SGS2 anyways so i traded the HTC Desire HD for the iPhone then bought the SGS2 for $550 and was happy with still $50 in the pocket.

trading for a Note 3.

Alright guys, so I got rid of my HTC One M7 and got a iPhone 5s because I'm a tech nerd and can't have the same phone for very long. That was a few months ago and now looking at switching back to Android for a bit.
Question is, guy wants to trade his Note 3 for my 5s. I'm still not sold on the Note 3 because I've never had touchwiz, nor am I completely sold on the screen size, however I could get used to it. Would it be a good trade or should I just wait/sell my 5s and buy the S5/M8/Note 4 (when it releases)? I've only played with the note 3 a few times but it is pretty dang nice.

Completely worth the trade. In fact he should pay you as well.
Galaxy Note 3

Any android > Apple product...
I have Note 3 and right now wouldnt have anything else. I'd venture to say number one problem people have with Note 3 is size... I can definitely tell you a iPhone is toy sized compared to Note.

That's the thing. Biggest phone I had was the HTC Droid DNA which was 5 inches and I loved it. The screen on the Note 3 is pretty damn big haha, but when I messed with my buds today it was nice to have everything pop up and hit you in your face.
I like the 5s for what it is, a great camera haha. Main reason I got rid of my M7 One was because of the crappy camera and I figured I'd give the 5s a try. It isn't terrible but I won't consider another iPhone until they make a bigger one and fix some things.

I work with spreadsheets and office docs a LOT... Let me tell you, at the end of the day my eyes are thanking this large screen lol! It definitely is life sized proportion. Definitely still one of the top 5 devices out right now. For screen size battery life is still in the "excellent" category. When I got it battery life I was more an apprehensive about, but certain exceeded my expectations. I'm rooted, so installed a sound hack but out of the box I found volume to quite low but I'm old deaf haha

Me and my wife both upgraded devices from GS3's. I got the N3 she got the 5s, both 32gb. I love my phone she hates the 5s. Heres a few comparisons.
*Even when I dont have my ZeroLemon battery I go almost 2 days before charging, shes usually charging through out the day.
*Taking pictures/videos of our kids she uses my phone if I'm around, N3 is way sharper on the camera.
*We tend to throw alot of apks, pictures, movies etc on our phones with our kids. Way easier to do just swapping microSD cards out then transferring through the cable.
*I don't know if its our area or what, but I get alot better/stronger/faster signal on both 3G and 4G for some reason than her 5s.
*She thinks its still a little big for her, but she's 5'1 I'm 6ft and have a ZeroLemon and I have no problems with it.
*Facetime, the main reason she got it, it is alot clearer than Skype I'll give them that, but once again way nicer on the big screen.
*Multiple devices- I also have an Asus tablet and my sons Nabi 2. I can sync apk data to other devices, or if I'm browsing the market sign in under his google account and download apks OTA for him. I don't have any other Apple products in my house so I'm not sure if you can do that too with an iPhone.
Those are just some of the comparisons between my wifes 5s, and my N3. We're both on the Edge plans Im probably going to keep my N3 this year because I love it, my wife has already said she wants to maybe get a N4 or GS5, she'll never go back unless Apple really steps there game up.

Agreed on getting two days of usage out of a full charge. Two nights of idle, about 2 hrs talk and about a little more than 3 hrs on screen time

You could sell the 5s and get something else. You'd probably even have leftover money.

That's true but Id be without a phone for a bit lol. I could sell the 5s for like 600-650 with all of the cases.
I guess that would pay for an M8 or S5.

You can buy the phone first then sell it. As long as the 5s is in pretty good condition, I'm pretty sure it'll sell easily.

Not a good trade at all unless he's adding cash. The 5S sells for a lot more, is more in demand, and retains its value longer. You could easily sell it since its unlocked. Just find a guy who will pay you top dollar and if you want a note so bad, find one on your local craigslist for 350. You just maximized your cash and would have at least 200 dollars left over..

Don't be a fanboy. An iPhone 4s after 2 years is still worth about $100 with a trade-in program compared to a GNex that was worth about $25.
Numbers don't mean anything.

I had a note 3 originally then traded it for a 5s and I couldn't stand the 5s just because of the small screen and it was to simplistic for me now Idk about around you but the iphone 5s around me is selling for around 400-475 on craigslist and the note 3 is 450-500 so it's really an even trade depending on what you're looking for

Resale price of Note 4 vs. iPhone 6 vs. iPhone 6+??

Hi Guys,
I currently love my Note 3 and have no plans of upgrading it on Verizon.
My contract has been up for a while I looking to renew it, due an upgrade and get a new phone and sell it here in US for some profit.
What would be the best phone to get with a contract renewal and sell?
Prices are with Contract:
Note 4 $299 (32GB)
IPhone 6 $199 (16GB) $299 (64GB)
IPhone 6+ $299 (16GB) $399 (64GB)
Please let me know what's the best plan.
I can use the money to get some AV gear
Thanks.

Note 4 if you wanna stay in future, but if you wanna go back couple years iPhone 6 LoL

History shows that the iPhone will almost certainly sell for more, regardless what we think of it.

Yes of-course I agree that Note series and Android is the way to go for personal use, I guess iPhone would have the better sale value.
What would you say the iPhone 6 or 6+??
I think 64GB might be in market as I don't know who would want to buy 16GB phone.
thanks.

Its hard to say but my gut would be that the 64 GB 6+ will net you the most profit. It's purely a guess though.

Just wait until you know Apple's off-contract pricing. That should give you a pretty solid idea of what you'll be able to get for the phone, especially if it goes out of stock for a while.

On Apple's UK site, the 6+ is retailing at :
16GB1
£619.00
Includes VAT of approx. £104.00.*
64GB1
£699.00
Includes VAT of approx. £117.00.*
128GB1
£789.00
Cheaper than the Note 4 for UK pricing, And they'll always hold their value due to the amount of people who love Apple.

Honestly I just sold my iPhone 5S 64GB on Verizon and got $390 for it, so you could in theory pay the contract rate and sell it in a year and if its in good condition and you have the original box and accessories you could get pretty close to what you paid for it.
I am getting the Note 4, done playing the back and forth game with iOS and Android. I always sell the iOS devices about 3 months after I get them from being bored, too small, can't do squat because its locked down like your date on prom night. Just no fun. That said Android always offers you the ability to be custom and make it your device with launchers, apps, themes and tools. What Android DOES, Apple STEALS.

If you want max resale value, iphones are the easy choice. Android phones drop faster in value. Sold a regular iphone 4 32gb unlocked a few months ago for 200 dollars on ebay. Who would've thought you'd still get that much for such an ancient phone.

So are you guys getting to figure out the best resale value. In order to sell and purchase a note 4 off contract?
Sent from the TermiNOTEr 2!

Actually one of the main reasons I probably won't go for the edge is that it's resale value will also. Oat certainly fall faster and to much lower points than a mainstream device like the Note 4.

Yes agreed Edge will fall fast in price compared to Note 4. Plus we don't know how functional the edge extra screen will be, it does have a lot of potential though.
Guys I will be getting 6+ from bestbuy. Should I get the phone activated on my line or just ask the BB employee to link it to my cell number without activating it. Remember I don't have any intention of using it just selling it on swappa or CL. Thanks.
