No one as of yet has posted in the South Florida area. Hopefully someone brings one home
There is a guy that claims to have 5 in hand here on the Seattle craigslist...$400 each. I'll wait until June 4th...
For me, the extra premium was worth it. I was going to get an Evo 4g when it came out and I'm only 10 months into my 2 yr contract with Sprint so after the ETF + the cost of the Evo 4g + California taxes on the original price, the cost would've been comparable. And this way, no new contract to sign or rebate to deal with.
I see your point. I am currently on AT&T using an iPhone 3GS, so waiting works for me. I am hoping to sell the 3GS for close to enough to cover the cost of the EVO plus my ETF.
wow someone has one close to me for $450 but ive pre-ordered already. I think i can wait...... .=(
Look on eBay. Noone in PA is going to have one so I bought one on eBay. Hefty premium including the overnight shipping I requested but totally worth it. I get it on Saturday! yay!
damn. there is one guy close by me but he's asking close to $700. i think im going to wait until the 4th.

yeah that is just silly. Wait it out like the rest of us and have some scratch to buy some cool accessories... like the HDMI dock or something.
Yeah the people putting them up for 700 are nuts. Call and offer them 400-500 and they will sell.
I just bought mine from some guys from another country and couldn't use at home, they are here for another week (SF). They had 2 more and were willing to sell for 450, they asked me if I knew anyone else who wanted to buy them.
I referred them here... so they may pop up in this thread.
O/ Roberto
Thanks for the EVO.
I have one to see and I am based in Cupertino and San Jose if anyone is interested.
I think $450 is too low, these guys must really want to get rid of it...
It includes a month's worth of unlimited usage and an 8Gb SD card and the ability to get the Google I/O plan...
I posted it on Craigslist for $600, but I'll let it go here for $550.
Let me know if you are interested.

What is the google I/O plan?
"Sprint is offering Google I/O attendees a special discount on Everything Plus Data Plans for new Sprint customers or existing customers who wish to add an additional line of service."
"After 30 days:
We would love to have you as a permanent Sprint customer.
Sprint is offering Google I/O attendees a special discount on Everything Plus Data Plans for new Sprint customers or existing customers who wish to add an additional line of service. This special offer is only available to Google I/O attendees. To participate in this offer, please call 1-877-527-8405 to activate your plan."
I don't know what the details are...
Anyone else care to elaborate on the "special discount"?
I'm just looking to join the dev community and do some documentation for DC. I don't need to do anything underhanded like complain to Sprint and whine for a free upgrade or whatever. Just curious to see if anyone knows how or if there are any deals that'll knock a few bucks off the non-upgrade price for me.
PS: I can also wait, I don't need the phone immediately. Looking for July sometime when they're back in stock.
There's a guy who posted earlier with thread title (evo 4g sucks), maybe he'll be inclined to sell it?

Oh yeah. I saw that thread. Maybe.
EDIT: In the words of the governator..., "NO DEAL!" He said no.
Can't imagine why he would want to keep it since it suks so bad..?
Search Bing for Wirefly. They're selling it for $480, but Bing Cashback will net you fifty dollars. In total, it will come out to $430. That isn't much of a difference, but it IS cheaper.
Or, if you're really lazy, you can follow this link: http://www.wirefly.com/eCommerce/SpecialOffer.aspx?cid=35808_4da6dc3a520b46b9832a393cf5eaa11d.

I am not sure if you have a current phone with sprint. I got the Hero in November '09 and was not quite at my upgrade. I was able to go to the sprint store and trade in my Hero for $80. So the Evo was $449 - $80 which I paid $369 for it. The good thing is November if they come out with a faster phone I will be able to sell my Evo because it is unlocked and get a new phone with the upgrade discount and it will make up the difference.

I think this is my best choice in all honesty. I have the same situation.
I COULD sell my launch HERO on eBay or Craigslist but I'm not confident that anyone would buy it for more than $100 anyway. A piece of the volume rocker cracked and some of the metallic paint is wearing on the back button.
I believe I'm also a premiere customer or whatever they call that, so yeah in October/November of this year if they release a new phone, I'd be eligible for $150 off or something.
EDIT: Another idea is to grab the EVO on Wirefly and get the $50 cash back, that's $430. Then try to give back my HERO for $80, that's roughly $350 for an EVO at that point. $350 isn't bad. It's kind of like a moron not mailing in his rebate and then ordering overnight shipping and having it delayed for 4 weeks. I could be comfortable being that moron.

I am not sure Sprint will do a trade in unless you buy the phone from them. If you decide to do this, ask to keep the battery for the hero. It is the same battery the Evo uses.
Get one for $450 and sell your previous phone to subsidize it. I got $225 for my Hero.

try this. have someone else put the phone under their name so you will get it for $199, then do a change of liability and put the phone in your name. not sure if they pay an etf cause they are transferring the contract to you. if not your all good. what i did was open up a business account and only paid 199 then i ported my old number to tmobile. 3 days later i ported it to my business account. paid an etf but only paid 199 for the phone and can sell my old phone to balance out the etf.
I ended up having to grab it off the Sprint website because Wirefly, Newegg and all the others stopped offering the phone. Unfortunately this means that I have to pay a hefty tax for the device bringing the total up to about $495 for the phone. To subsidize this though, I'm going to attempt to sell my HERO for about $100. I might even try to participate in the recycling program instead so that I can get $80 back and keep my battery/sd-card.
Either way, if I find that the phone sucks hard, I can just turn around and sell it. Also, if something more awesome comes out by October (my 1-year contract mark), I can upgrade to it and sell the EVO for a decent price.
consider this idea.. only an idea...
try Best Buy.. so they can give you instant rebate.
tell them you want to cancel your contract..pay the fee. i am guess it is $150.
get new contract.. have them port the number to new contract. get the EVO for $199.
Trade the Hero into BB for $80-100 (i have heard some have gotten $110)
if it works. 199 +150 - $100 = 250
maybe.. a shot

Wont work.
a. Unless you have another line available to add, you can't turn one off and then add a new one right away.
b. You can't port a number from a deactivated line (and usually not within the same carrier.)
I suppose one could try to pay the ETF to have Sprint at least change the contract from 2-yr to month to month. Although they'd probably be confused by this, and probably wouldn't let you do it to begin with. Then just sign up for a new plan, and start a new 2-yr contract. I really doubt that could work.
Alternatively, I suppose if one didn't want to keep their phone number...they could just ETF, and purchase the new phone and contract.
Really I'm not willing to **** around with any of that though. I was more interested to see if someone like...knew a guy who had a trick or coupon code, or had access to some kind of super secret "knock-a-few-bucks-off-for-a-friend" deal.

Damn! No underhanded stuff?! C'mon man...
I was gonna say you could just rob somebody coming out of the Sprint store with an EVO
Sign a contract with Sprint
and closed the contract?
I bought EVO 4g from RS on a launch day. I have been playing with this phone/ Android for some time now.
For whatever reasons I have decided to return it.
My question is, does RS charge restocking fee? Somewhere on this forum I read that one guy paid $35 restocking fee. I thought there is absolutely no charge to try this phone on Sprint.
So, has anyone returned it to RS after purchasing it from it?
I know many ppl like their EVOs and I too think its a very good phone but just wanted to check before I go to RS today.
Nobody paid a $35 restocking fee at a Radioshack. You can return it within 30 days without a hassle.
Thanks. I definitely saw someone mentioned about $35 fee but I could not find that thread. Anyways, thanks for your reply.
All I hear are owls. {hooo hooo!}
I am in a particularly good position to answer this. i work there. yes you can.
A BUNCH OF HTC EVO ARE DYING OUT OF THE BOX IN RADIOSHACK STORES I GOT 2, ONE BRICKED AND THEY ARE TELLING ME ITS GOING TO TAKE 3 WEEKS AT LEAST TO GET A NEW ONE. THERE IS A BAD BATCH OF HTC EVO.

Thanks for the response. I am just coming back from RS. I returned my EVO and canceled my contract with sprint.
One thing to note for anyone who bought from RS. They DO NOT refund you the gift card money. They just give you another gift card for $50. I never never shop at RS or Best Buy for that matter. I did not like this policy. Anyway it could be my mistake that I did not see that rule when I reserved EVO. Finally, I reserved iPhone 4 with that gift card. I won't waste my money on their overpriced accessories. Anyway, I am going to buy iPhone 4.
Lesson learned here. IF you really want to try out worry free any Phone from Sprint/ATT etc. DO NOT buy from these resellers. Buy directly from Sprint/ATT etc. Then you don't have to worry about these gift cards that force you to purchase something from those places (RS/BestBuy). Electronics items are cheaper online if you are not in a hurry.
So I want to sell my Xoom, I was lame and should have returned it within the 14 days, VZW isnt like Sprint and gives you 30 days (lame). Any way I will either buy a Samsung or a WiFi Xoom, I just do not want to be married to VZW for 2 years (have sprint and dont plan on going anywere anytime soon).
Have it on CL for $550 if someone assumes the contract, comes with case, perfect condition.
Does this sound fair?
Worst case, you can try Gazelle, see what they offer you if you don't get any hits.
The going price on eBay seems to be 700-750 right now
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
With a contract, it is $600 new from vzw with none of the hassle of transfering the contract. You might need to go a touch lower than $550. But, you never know. Some people are stupid and have no idea what it is worth. Example - I sold my ipad a week before the Woom came out for $750. Considering a new one was $829 and newer tablets were literally weeks away, that guy must have been crazy.
If you really want rid of it, I'd try to ebay it for $700ish and eat your Verizon ETF.
Outside of the return period, you're going to take a hit.
Yeah... married to a 2 year contract I'd be hard pressed to shell out over $400 for a used tablet in any condition. I hope you get at least $400-500 for it!
PS: You should put a post in the main marketplace subforum, you will get better responses.
I've had a few people offer 750 off contract for it. Leaves me $400 after ETF and eating tax and activation.
I'll give it a few days, see what happens.
Im not trying to sell it here, was just seeing what everyone thought of my pricing.
Damn Im an idiot for being an early adopter. THought I'd use the data more than I do.
Can you settle an arguement for me? What did you guys in the US pay when the a500 was first released? I think it was about 400usd + considerably less than here. Can anyone confirm this?

IIRC it was $449.99
I paid $300 for a 16GB, but that was with the Staples $100 off coupon. So at the time it was, obviously, $400. I wasn't exactly an early adopter so it may have been higher than that at release.
Thanks lads that settles it for me. A friend here is adamant that acer would never charge less for a tab in the states than here in their homeland, so I put him straight. It was 625 US here when first released.
It Released for sale ONLY AT BEST BUY .. THE Price was as said above 449.00 ..
everyone that bought it within 3 months or so of this date paid that price.. after that i think they started offering a 100 off special at some retailers... the 501 was not for sale here. i dont think ever until carriers like at&t started selling it...
Thought as much erica, he's convinced that the price in US and Taiwan was always on a par. I remember reading what you guys had paid for yours in various posts but thanks for confirming it.
Pay the Lady
yes i ordered mine first of april.. got it like 24th if im not mistaken.. anyone in us who claims to have paid less.. had a discount like worked for best buy or used gift card of some type...
But now im only replying to this post because im curious . WHY THIS MATTERS.. IF you win money in a wager or bet PAY UP... GIGGLES.
449
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
Paid 389.00 for the a500 16b when they first came out.
The reason it matters is because this guy is really sure of himself and claims it's his business to know this kind of stuff and I couldn't possible be right. So just to please myself is all it's worth
LOL
I understand... We have lots like that on this forum...Those that know everything.I know to get a discount on Brand new Hot selling hardware.From a retailer like best buy.Will be a very Tiny discount. maybe 8 to 10 percent.. There Employee discounts.. I dont think go in effect on these types of items until after a few weeks or a month.. But i can be wrong.. Thou i do know the discounts are very slim.
Why would someone discount a device. that is selling off the shelf at full price.. NOT Happening.. its just not logical.
