Not sure I would say it's a trade up. I played with one a couple of days ago and wasn't very impressed. You should be able to get $100-$150. Sprint sells refurbished Epics for $120.

No contract. Only $60 with employee discount. Same for the EVO, and the Nexus S. Might not be a corporate thing though. All my local Sprint stores are franchise.

So where can I find the epics for 120 refurbished...I wouldn't mind having a spare..or a nexus s

In order to take advantage of this, you must go to a Sprint store that is part of the Shentel(Shenandoah Communications) franchise. They are mostly in the Mid-Atlantic Region. Other franchise stores may have the same or similar offer, but I don't know. Corporate stores do not have this offer as far as I know. I also neglected to mention that you must exchange your current Sprint phone (functioning or non-functioning) to get the refurb at discount. They do this primarily for customers that don't have TEP, but they will do it for anyone.

So in other worlds, one have to go through a bunch of **** just to get the $120 price.

I called yesterday my local Sprint store and asked about refurbished phones and their answer was "refur- huh?". I heard her ask someone else and the dude said "we dont have refurbs, only pre-owned" and I was like "that works too". Apparently, when people return their phones withing the 30 day window, they cant sell the phones as new so they cut the price and sell them pre-owned, its just that it depends on people returning, so call the store and ask about them.

I suppose if you don't live close to one of these stores, then yes. Not much of a hassle if one of their stores is local to you.

Where is the cheapest without contract?

Amazon sell it at $529, no tax.
T-mo sell it at $500 + tax but have no interest installment.
Costco show $449 online but actually cant order. I went to three Costco (lakewood, signal hill, cypress, CA) but they said they only can sell with contract.
I saw someone said some Costco actually sell without contract. Is there any around LA/OC area?
You'll probably have to do Craigslist or Ebay.
You can call loyalty department and ask for a break. I got mine for 399.00

Yep. Though I don't remember how long you have to be with them to get into the loyal customer phase.
Thought I'd toss my recent experience into the mix. Got my G2 yesterday for $380 on Craigslist. Power adapter still sealed.
Very happy with my purchase. Figured if I end up not liking it, I could simply sell it for at least what I paid.
No intention of that though. Love this phone.

Nexus S 4g for $80 out the door

At a sprint store. I went to complain once again about my second evo's lack of working data roam and saw it.
I have an upgrade available. Should I?
No, Sprint dropped the price to $49. Also, that means new phones are coming out so they are getting rid off these older ones.
What would be the price at best buy
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA Premium App
It's $29.99 on the sprint website right now. Web only special, just bought one for my wife to replace her aging HTC Hero.
really? shouldve taken a pic i seen it for $29.99 at that store
also online
By 80 out the door i mean after taxes

OT here, but I was told if I purchased this from Best Buy, which I did, I would be charged the activation fee unless I purchase directly from sprint.com. Thing is, Sprint.com has different phones different prices than Best Buy or Radioshack.
I would wait with the upgrade, IMO. There are going to be so many killer phones come around the holiday season. You can suck it up for a couple more months
The only phone coming out that's worth getting is the Nexus Prime. Hopefully they cover all the carriers with it.

For 800$ you could make a profit...even if you bought another one right out, off contract. But I've had some offers...a sprint rep offered my 600$ for it, cuz I walked in to get my number changed, and like that guy, they all KNEW, and they hadn't even seen one.

You paid 600$ for the device. The how in the hell is it not worth it to sell at 800? When you wanted to return it anyway.. Sounds like you are just holding onto it for your amusement from the offers

Friday while I was looking for a case I had a Bestbuy employee snatch it out my hands and go crazy for it. Also had a guy at a cell hone store go crazy for it too. Gotta love the fact that only select people have this phone.

Sell my Nexus S?

I really want a Galaxy Nexus for AT&T but I'm currently in a hard financial state. If I was to sell my device which is in good condition aside from a small scuff on the corner, how much should I sell it for?
I'm still not sure if I sell right away because I might wait for the new nexus so the price drops. I'm just looking for a good reference on price so I can ponder it over. Thanks in advance to anyone who offers help.

When I was looking for a sprint one (which i since decided to cancel my contract shortly and go prepaid but thats another story lol) I was able to find a few for ~400 or so. I've seen a couple online retailers selling for ~450.
I haven't even seen any used ones though. Which kind of irritates me as that would probably be the only way I could get one. Seeing as I prefer to buy locally and not have to be without a phone for any major period of time.

Yes and no. Sprint sells them for $550 new. So online retails selling @ 450 are actually selling lower then sprint. Believe me I think its stupid too. This is one of the many reasons I'm ditching sprint in September/October and going gsm/prepaid
350 on the play store new when I'm only selling my phone for 130-150. Lol. I don't have that kind of cash to front at the moment.

HTC Trade-Up Program

I just got the email to register my information and to see if I'm qualified for the $100 gift card or if the phone is greater. As long as your phone is still usable with no damage you will something. I'm pretty happy because I'm going to get $100 gift card for this crappy Samsung Intercept that I have been patient with for so long lol.
Now all I need is the 'One' and life will be good :laugh:
just sold my One X for $360 on eBay..
might give up my old blackberry if they willing to give $100 for just any phone long as it in good condition
I'm currently on a Motorola Photon, but I also still have my previous phone, an HTC Touch Pro2... I'm thinking about turning in the TP2 for the $100 gift card, and turning the MoPho over to Sprint for the $40 statement credit... Double dipping.
Only reason I've been keeping the TP2 around was for occasional international travel, as the MoPho is a little hit and miss when it comes to recognizing data capabilities on foreign SIM cards (has something to do with being unable to read the APN on the SIM). I've actually used the TP2 as a wireless hot spot for my MoPho when traveling internationally, which is goofy. Hopefully the One won't have this problem, never was able to figure out if the problem was caused by Motorola, Sprint, or some combination... Each kept pointing at the other.

If so... might be a great offer And I would actually purchase the HTC One on release.

I wonder how this works? I'm on vzw with a thunderbolt, and will probably break my contract in march when the one comes out. When it says carrier, does it mean the one your trade in is on, or the one you'll get your One on?

I believe it's the carrier the one is going to be registered on. I plugged in an old treo i had laying around and it accepted it on the site so it doesn't look like it's limited in any way other than the pre-registration and the purchase date on the one.
