Even more pathetic are the people who bought it, If they had took 2 seconds to search google for "HD2 Android" they would have an abundance of instructions for free.

Yeah You right

Yeah You right. This is not the place. But i have mentioned why i bought this thing here. Second! perhaps you don't care. But some people of XDA working hard to do this stuff for free. And someone selling their hard work for own interest. So may be they people have some serious care about this. I am sorry if i have offended you.

i agree that is really wrong!!! these instructions were given to all of us for free. and now its being sold off! i hope ebay bans the guy that is trying to make money off of piracy! i would report to ebay but its not my work being copied and sold.
xda should take action!

I reported it to eBay and also posted a question saying "This information is availabel for free at xda-developers.com", which will appear at the bottom of the page.

Questions only appear at bottom of page if the ebay seller chooses to put them there, not just when anybody asks a question.

Oh...... Fail. lol

I don't believe xda needs to care about..
--
People buying this on eBay are most probably not too tech savvy and this can have a positive aspect as well :
-redundant questions will be directed to the seller and not (again) in anew thread here
But if somebody feels bothered by this, the best way would be to pm the buyer with the link to the free rom, this will most probably lead to a bad seller rating on eBay..
I personally don't mind, if I can sell something for $ although it is available for free, I am a lucky person then (or the buyer not too bright)
Maybe I should sell some air in a jar,- have some around here..

lol i know right..

Seems like he also changed the outer trim...but that shows people can get away with things like that because the first ignorant person won't even search "iimited edition evo."

I just sent him a message telling him he's a moron

Here's his reply lol.
"Ur a sucker for even taking the time out to send me this message. Loser! And FYI I bet someones gonna buy it too!"

We need people to just blast this idiot in the face with insults.

it doesn't even look new. Check out all the scratches around the edges on the kickstand.

Yeah I reported the item as being fraudulent. What an idiot.

Can u set up an auction so the seller can't be contacted? I wanted to send him a nice little message, but couldn't see the ask seller a question link anywhere.

Reported as fraudulent. The seller deserves to get this listing pulled.

Why would you guys do that, want a good strategy to get him bad???buy it, leave him horrible feedback and contact eBay support saying the esn was bad...that will get him, he'll just relist it lol

At the bottom of the page there's a "ask a question" link, that's what I used.
And who made the offer for the phone today? He turned it down though.

What's up with the box though?

Thanks Spencer.
This listing would be totally fine if he had put just "Oreo" in quotes in the title to get people to look at it, but then explained it was simply a different battery cover in the listing details. But, its blatantly obvious he is trying to dupe people on this.

why not? at least he not hiding an affiliate link behind a url shortener. im glad hes being upfront and honest that he is a reseller and if he can provide phones at a significant discount, who cares if he makes a commision. it is his job after all to sell phones and contracts.
i see no issue here.

I never said that I was a moderator, simply giving the op some friendly advice. Not sure why you feel a need for sarcasm over showing someone new the XDA rules. I didn't make the rules ... it's really not necessary to flame the messenger.

Id hardly say that this is showing the op the rules. You sarcasticly opined "not gonna work around here"
You didn't cite a rule or even a reason until I prompted you.
How does that help the op to just tell him not to post this, but give no reason why? I honestly thought you were implying that the users wouldn't like it beccause its an affiliate link. You never mentioned a single rule in your first post to him.

That's seems to be a common comment from you. Just remember, if everyone seems to be arguing with you, maybe it isn't them, but perhaps something else.(yourself).

Craigslist - Verizon Galaxy nexus 400$

Alright this might sound sketchy to some of you, but I think alot of people can vouch for me. A guy on my local craigslist is selling a clean esn galaxy nexus for 400$. Said it was mint, said theres nothing wrong with it, just wants an iPhone. If I had 400 I would buy it in a heartbeat, sadly I blow all my money on tablets and other phones lol. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone wanted to send me a money order or cash via the mail, unless this guy takes paypal, I would love to buy it for someone and then ship it out to them. 400$ is a bargain for this phone, I think, anyway.

Well lets see. I have 7 feedback, very active, over 1000 posts, and 305 thanks because im a themer. Before you come running your mouth thinking im posting scams, find out who the OP is. Second, it has no phone number because not everyone likes giving out personal information in public, and with that comes to spam. Your an idiot.

a lot of fake ads on CL most likely you will get a reply like "i just sold it but you can get it cheaper at some website" I don't hit ads that have no phone number.

Where exactly are they handing them out, because when I do a search I can't find any new post, only post for people asking for them.

You can buy them on Aliexpress i tought the Bamboo styleswap covers . i read the are being sold normally in china without an invite.

I did buy from Aliexpress. Expect to pay a little more then OnePlus. I really like the bamboo. And it does stand out.
