I think you'd have no trouble getting $100 for an Epic on Craigslist or eBay. I have no plans to upgrade to the Epic touch, but if I did, I'd actually rather keep my Epic as a backup and as a wifi-only device than get $100 for it.

I had to trade in my palm centro for $50 off my epic...I still miss that phone.
sent from my uncyanogen modded epic 4g. with the key skips.
I was speaking with my Sprint rep downtown last weekend and they'll buy back the Epic for over $100 right now. I can't remember if it was $105 or $110 but you can guarantee that's the cheap end. He even told me I could probably do better selling it online.
so is that $100 off of retail if you sell it back to them or $100 off the "contract" price?

I agree.
Sent from the future.
The epics are selling on ebay for $130 or so. After ebay and paypal fees you'd probably get about $100 for it. If I was going to get rid of my epic I'd rather give it to sprint for $100 than deal with selling it to a stranger.
they are going for about $200-250 on craigslist. go that route if you are in a major city with lots of CL activity.

Incidentally I was told $105 yesterday. They go for $125-130ish on eBay.
the other guy is right about ebay and paypal fees, your likley to end up paying 25 dollars in ebay and paypal fees.

new from store... 499 at sprint... that doesnt go down... or 699 at radio shack like they said above lol.
Do anyone know how long this offer is for? My wife got an optimus last week and its been having problems. So I'm thinking about getting her one of these Epics.
I'm just hoping sprint don't charge me a restocking fee. After all the optimus isn't working correctly. People on the other end of the phone can't hear her.

I worked for radioshack for 3 years. I deeply loathe that place. Please people don't buy your phones at radioshack. Its all they care about and those prices are so low because district managers pressure associates into not selling phones unless you get accessories with it. Don't believe me? Go ahead and try it. I guarantee you the salesman will turn you away not sell you the handset if you don't get something alongside with it.
Bottom line. Get your phones online. I bought both of my epics back in november for 100? If im not mistaken off of letstalk.com. amazon normally has awesome deals too. Save yourself the hassle of being hassled and don't put money into these corporate pigs pockets.

This looks like a good deal! but what are the chances of a new EPIC2 or a better QWERTY smartphone coming out very soon?!
Yes. The guy at my local radio shack was pushing me towards an Evo. Boo! he said there was no other phone in its class. I said what about the epic? And he just kinda scoffed and said it was a decent phone.

It bad. You get harassed and your job threatened everyday. Your NEVER good enough in that place. For those interested or want to work there this is what you will experience.
Radioshack gets angry if you don't sell they're quota of phones a day. If you sell your phone by itself they get angry. I you sell a phone with accessories (and they have a minimum like 20-40 bucks), cool. Now did you get the warranty? No? Your not good enough. Here's a write up. I remember when the i4 came out and they said it was mandatory to sell the 70$ applecare with it. Lol. Oh and don't forget about the plethora of other **** you gotta do there besides earn commission selling cell phones. Which is essentially the only real way to make money there.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
jeez, I've never had an issue buying a phone at radio shack. I've never bought accessories there and they just seemed happy I was getting a phone.
Lovely.. i'm within 30 days.. now I get to see if i can get best buy to price match/guarantee, or return it (stupid restocking fee) and get it for $100 cheaper.. if it was $20-40 difference I wouldn't bother, but $100.. that's worth some time to get my money back.
My brother is due for an upgrade and he's new to android. I think the phone will be great for him. So I was wondering where is the best place to buy an epic? I'm looking in terms of price and deals. So far, the best deal I found was at radio shack where I can get one for $49 + tax w/ contract after trading any old working phone.

Are you sure? the radioshack employee told me that it was $149 for an upgrade, then take off $100 after trading in any old working phone, which would come to $49 + taxes...said that the promotion was going to end saturday, so I'm assuming it must've just started.

wow, can't beat that. ridiculous that the evo is still pulling $199 on contract
Talked to two different radio shack stores just now. The first store that I called said that its for new contracts only. The second one I called said that upgrades were indeed eligible for the offer, and the first store I called didn't know what they were talking about. She even went on to say that she just recently did the same offer for an upgrading customer...so I don't know what to believe.
Well I manage a RadioShack, so I'm pretty sure that it is only for new activations. The store maybe able to add the $100 trade and save rebate but the store will charged back for it.

Don't hate the company because you left them or were terminated. Yes they do give a lot for iphone trade in but there is never a price drop for the iphone either. As far as love for other phones. A $100 trade in towards the epic to bring it down to $50 is pretty good. Love them our hate them you still get some of the best prices out there and employees who will go that extra mile for you instead of just clerking you out.

Looked at the radioshack ad. The epic price IS $149.99 on new activation, and the $100 trade-in IS also on new activation....
....Buuuuut...went to my local radioshack store. She took my cheap $20 virgin mobile phone, and rang up the epic under my brother's line. Kept ringing up to $198 after a couple tries, then she did something with the computer and it rang up to $98 after taxes...

Are you guys reading that right? The phone is $500 off contract or $200 with a contract... if you trade in your Evo you get an additional $100 off the $200 making the phone $100 WITH a new contract not existing contract... of course your existing contract wont stick.

best offer so far i got is 275 for phone if i toss in the case and extra battery i can get 300
my question with this deal is do u have to b up for an upgrade inorder to get the trade-in deal.

I don't think its that good of a deal. How much does a 3D cost off contract? $499?
You can definitely sell your Evo on Craigslist or Ebay for AT LEAST $200, and if you put that money towards the new phone, it would make an off contract 3D $299

Yeah I sold my Evo last month because I knew once the Evo3d hit the shelves, that there was gonna be a mass flux of people selling on Ebay - Craigslist - Etc.. You will see Evo 4G's going for $150 before the end of the week it is released in Mint Condition with accessories. I can almost promise this. I luckily had an Epic also, so I wasn't without during my loss of my great Evo, but now I have a Pre order with Radio Shack and $450 in saving and a $50 gift card to buy my new one. Exciting stuff. Though I really doubt that I'm gonna get it for $499. It's going to probably be $50 to $100 more expensive that what that ad actually says. Though I hope not.
I am not sure this has been posted yet, but for you wanting to get the E3D or another phone, get a $150.00 credit on the purchase of your new phone.
Just did this 10 minutes ago and got my new EVO 3D for $49.99
You can take it to a sprint store, or do it online easily at:
http://www.sprintbuyback.com/
Have fun!
Is this only when you're due for an upgrade or anytime?
You can do it at anytime. As long as it turns on and doesn't have a cracked screen or anything. If you don't have upgrade it would just take $150 off retail price. I wouldn't think that price is going to last much longer seems its being sold with upgrade for $99.

You are right, you can do it at anytime and even use other cellphones, but they might give you a lesser value.

My wife has an iphone on verizon... I have sprint because of my work... and you know what... 3d beats it!
We bought our Evo's for $119 before any number porting credits or rebates. If we were due for an upgrade it would be nice to make $30 on our phones trading them in for $50 E3D's for a net of about $20 to get into brand new phones. We are more than happy with our Evo's and already have batteries and too many accessories to consider following through at this point.
On my way to the sprint store now to trade in my og evo for a $50.00 3d? Will probably return it in a week though for the photon. Only time will tell.
