It's rooted with CM 4.2.8
Includes an 8G microSDHC class-6 card
And recently switched to using RA-dream-v1.5.2 for recovery.
No case/holster.
Does have a screen protector.
It has the tiniest 1/8 inch long hairline scratch on the screen itself. It does not distort any viewing. Otherwise, has no other scratches on it.
What do you think I can sell it for?
I'm planning on getting the Nexus One when released.
My wife doesn't want my G1 - so I may sell it. Am just curious.
they usually go for between 100 and 220(max, usually 200) but i would check craigslist and ebay if i were you...
I was hoping for $100, as it's a year old.
Im glad to hear $200 is possible.
Thanks oshizzle!
160 is cheap for a decent one. If it had a cracked screen I could see 100 being a possibility, but 150 at least if that's the only scratch.
It's insane what the freaking G1 will sell for on ebay.
If you choose to sell it do yourself a favor first, get it unlocked.
Unlocked phones seem to add $75 to the going rate.
If its clean, rooted with a current mod, and unlocked....$140-$175
I fail to understand why a phone that, I can get for $129.99 with tmobile, will sell for $129 on ebay ... broken.
I watched an auction for one that had OBVIOUSLY been run over by a car.
The guy even said, all the plastic parts are cracked or broken. The screen is broken, it does not work, the thing is falling apart. It's junk!
The freaking thing sold for $92.
Personally I think the Chinese are buying them all up and refabing them into operational units or selling them for parts. I mean I can buy every part I need to make a G1 except the mother board and the daughter board off of ebay. (and pay about $129)
Thought about going and extending my contract so I could get a new G1 and then selling my old one one ebay. I figure I'd break even at least.
wow, G1's are being sold for more money than I bought it for. When I purchased my G1 at release w/ a tmobile contract, i paid 125 dollars for my g1, i nabbed it a day early from release . but still, are you telling me that g1's are going for that much out there?

That's what I'm sayin' ... WOWZA!!!
If that's the going rate, I may just buy some functional GeeWons and root them and unlock them and flash them with the latest CM and throw on a $0.99 screen protector and get DOUBLE-DOUBLE!!!
I feel I did a terrible thing when I bought my G1 judging by this thread. I paid almost 700 CAD and ended up signing onto a 2 year contract after the fact because I needed data as well....
There should be an icon for getting pounded in the bum.
Remember everyone,
These are the "current" prices.
3 months ago G1's were going for about $50 broken, and $120 used.
After the phone first released, they were like $450 for an unlocked phone and even more if it was one of the first rooted phones.
To many people are buying the G1 because it is the new Super toy. My friend with an Iphone, another friend with a Nokia 900 and I are constantly playing the, 'Oh yeh my phone does..." game.
The more people who buy them, the more the market floods and the faster prices can drop.
A large handful of these people you have met...we often see them with posts like "HELP! I just bricked my phone!"
Prices will go down when the Nexus One gets released because it will become the new HOT item.
Then we can all buy super cheap replacement parts for our G1's that are also running the Nexus software thanks to people like Cyanogen, Dwang, and all the other great Devs who have been working on these phones.
As far as paying to much...can't help you there. Research is always your best friend.
$125 that seems good
G1's in the US in perfect condition are about $200-$250 on ebay... I got mine a couple months ago for $190, and felt lucky at that price. Perfect condition, only 2 hours of talk time, guy got the phone to test for a magazine, used it for 2 weeks, then sold it. I did plenty of research and spend a month waiting for one in the right condition at the right price to come my way.
Anyone that thinks they only paid "$125" for it are ignoring the fact that was the 2yr contract price, the actual price of the phone new is more like $400.
If all it has is that one little scratch, it will go for up to $200 if unlocked and in an auction. If you do a buy it now posting, $150-$175 will sell quickly and is more than fair.
I push them to $400 AUD ,,, if someone wants their rooted phone they can pay the price
I will buy them for $300 unlocked if I have someone wanting a phone rooted
they are $460 New
If someone Brings me their phone I will root for Free ...

Thanks for your valuable input on this.
If I should post it on ebay (most likely there than Craigslist), do you recommend I mention the technical details?
ie: it is rooted, has installed Cyanogen ROM 4.2.9.1 + RA-dream-v1.5.2 recovery
I know for sure I will definately take some high resolution pics of it to clearly show its fine condition.
Yes, realize what you pay for.
When you say that you are paying someone on ebay or craigslist the same price what you can get one from Tmob for, you are not. You pay that price at Tmob because you are signing a contract. On ebay and craigslist you are just getting the phone. That's why you get these phones for so cheap from any cell carrier. Because you are signing a contract. If you buy the phone without the contract, you will pay $300 plus for the phone.
Some people buy online for different reasons. To root the phone or use on another network.
And lately, people are not going to want to pay that much for a phone they are going to experiment on anyway. You can get a good used mytouch for about $150. When I had my G1, I bought it a year ago from someone for $175. But, if yours is in decent condition, you should still get a good price for it though.
I've been looking for an AT&T Nexus One for weeks now. Is there anywhere to buy them brand new in box other than ebay?
craigslist
Ebay and Craigslist... good luck
Google discontinued the at&t model nexus one, the only place to officially purchase it was through the Google web store which was taken down at the same time. Because of this the at&t nexus one is going to be extremely difficult to get, let alone brand new as there are no official channels for it.
So there are no places that any of you know of that will have any left in stock?

I think it was mentioned above, but no other place stocked them other than Google itself. Since you can't get it from them anymore the only place you might get one that is unopened is if someone bought a bunch of them and is selling them on Ebay or Craigslist. However, you can get a used one in pretty much pristine condition for around 325 dollars now days.
Do what I did, But a Tmobile Nexus, Call HTC, say youre switching to ATT and would like to switch phones. You send them the TMO nexus, and they will send you an ATT nexus. And my tmo nexus was all mesed up to, lots of nicks and blemishes, and i got a PRISTINE condition ATT nexus.
I'll sell you mine. Used for about 1 week now, no scratches. Interested? Give me an offer!

Wow, I had no idea HTC did that, wish I had known that a month ago. Oh well I managed to pick up an ATT Nexus One today for $220. It's pretty beat up but I plan on fixing it myself. Everyone ATT Nexus one I've seen on eBay goes for $400 plus...
I'm selling two, both in near perfect condition, AMOLED screens, unless HTC will swap them out for T-Mobile versions also. I just switched back to pink jesus yesterday myself.
Theres no way i would sell my n1, not only is it still top notch an perfect for root users but it becoming a collectors item
I picked up my ATT Nexus One a week ago on Craigslist. I got it from a guy who worked as an intern at Google, but didn't want to keep the phone. He just got around to selling it last week. I paid $410.
You can visit this page http://developer.android.com/index.html, register as a dev developer and pay the fee, then you can buy a new one from google directly...I think it cost about US$530

Phone itself is $530 and there's a $30 registration fee if you're not already a developer. That, and you're almost sure to get a Nexus with an SLCD screen instead of AMOLED, unfortunately.

I have one phone that is unlocked for both carriers.
I miss my focus reasoning is because of I wanted to save some extra cash for the holidays I returned my focus. But the reason was my (tech guy) walmart contact told me they have the samsung focus in finally and that it was 148.88 I was like well thats only 50 in savings from when I purchased then he told me that it came with a $100 gift card to Walmart! So if you are wanting the focus and to shop at Walmart the actual cost you will spend is 48.88! When my upgrade is reversed going to pick my toy back up!
Its effectively free at Walmart now, pay $99.99, get a $100 Gift card.
AT&T just started a buy one get one free WP7 promo. Good in AT&T stores only.
This just kills me! All these great promotions I can't take advantage of. Buy one get one free, uh...
Amazon also is selling it for 49.99, i returned my surround (i paid 99.99) and am getting the focus and $50 back.
The cheaper they are the more there will be! Go Walmart!
i bought one off of amazon when it was on sell for $50... Im glad i saved $150 for other things and if i dont like it i can just return and get the captivate or sell it on ebay for $500 plus and get a unlocked phone. but i have a feeling ill like it regardless off what everyone is saying

What do you mean? Apart from a few biased reviews like inforworld.com, it's been very positive in most of the places. Check the owner reviews in Amazon, they all seem to be happy though not all techies like the usual WM or Android crowd.
I'm hoping for a Black Friday deal on a no contract Focus. Not holding my breath, but it would be nice...

i meant the people who complained about how M$ messed up by not have 1 or 2 feature and blah, blah, blah ( some of them on here). Which i dont see why they are complaining, because its a new Mobile OS and it takes time to develop things. None of the other OSs were perfect @ start.
Same here, but it's not looking to good.
My contract with AT&T just ran out, so the last thing I want is another 2 years with them. I'd like to pick up one of these off contract to hold me for a little while until I can decide which carrier I'll eventually switch to.
Yeah, I haven't seen a lick of any kind of deal anywhere.
Anyone ever seen the commercials for this site? I've seen them a lot late night so o figured for fun, I'd check what a basically perfect Nexus One was worth...
http://www.gazelle.com/catalog/cell...ate[checked_ids][]=calculator_answers_248_531
What a rip! They offer you $59 for a Nexus One in great condition with all original accessories.
You can still get upwards of $180 on eBay..
Just felt like posting this, I thought that was outrageous.
Agreed. They probably sell it back through ebay making at least double the amount.

It is outrageous. Especially because if you look on ebay, they sell extensively there. They also are always the ones charging the greatest prices or highest minimums on ebay.
They're like GameStop for phones. They might as well be called PhoneStop.
Just playing Devil's Advocate here a bit as I do agree, $59 is outrageously low *BUT* when my contract came up with AT&T a few months back, I bought a white iPhone 4 32gb to sell on Ebay and had to relist 3 TIMES before I got a successful bid. One of which I actually sent the device out, Paypal revoked payment and I had to get UPS to intercept the phone that was already 'out for delivery'.. by the time it was all said and done, I sold the phone for $250 over what I payed for it, but after the 1st shipping fiasco, getting eaten alive by Ebay's fees, and just the general pain in the ass, I made like $50.. I will never use Ebay again. So, long story short, if I wanted an easy, painless transaction I just might take that $59 and be done with it.. but i would never sell my N1 anway

yeah ebay is my last resort if craigslist fails me I might try gazelle in the future, just maybe if other people havent sold on ebay before, here it goes someone bids an auction for X dollars the paypal that their cut for providing the transaction then ebay towards the end of the month then bills you a precentage of what you sold. Ebay is great for buyers but if your not moving bulk it kinda sucks to sell there I typically will overcharge on shipping so that I dont lose much and shouldnt I be paid to drive this thing to the UPS store anywhos

Just wanna get a thread started so we can list who's selling it to see who's got the lowest price (with tax etc)
I'm on Verizon and I'm looking to spend the extra cash because it's unlocked and the bands on the VS995 V20 on Verizon are identical to the bands on the US996 V20 (in fact, the unlocked has more bands than Verizon) so I have a feeling it's going to work fine. I'd rather have the chance of an unlockable bootloader and root than a locked down Verizon version with all their BS.
so far, we know B&H has it for $799. Problem is, if you want Silver like me, you have to wait weeks longer. B&H updated shipping to Mid-November for Silver, and Titan is early November. B&H comes with that useless little tablet as well, but the nice thing about B&H is if you're in Jersey like me, there's free overnight shipping, and they only charge tax if you're in NY..that's about $53 worth of saving right there.
Newegg is also selling it for the same price with the tablet and power bank. Newegg has specific release dates, though. Titan is November 11th, and Silver is November 24th. Newegg charges tax in NJ and it's like 3-5 day free shipping.
Basically, B&H is the best bet so far (for me, anyway.) Problem is that the headphone offer from LG ends 11/20/16...so wtf are these people supposed to do who are ordering this version and won't get it until the end of next month? Pretty crappy on LG's part; they can't ship the silver in time to these dealers, so the buyers get punished? Dumb.
I'm still waiting to see if Best Buy is going to sell it because I'd like to get the points from being an Elite member and use a gift certificate. Amazon doesn't have anything listed yet, either.
Anyone have any other places where we can look to buy the unlocked version?? Looks like we won't be getting it until the end of next month....shame, but we can atleast watch more reviews on the phone itself, and on accessories!
*UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE*
figured id update. I got my us996 from Amazon, and I run it perfectly on Verizon! gets HD voice and volte so everything is good!
I'm in the same boat as you. I've been searching all over for information about availability/ compatibility of US996, especially with respect to Verizon. As you have already metioned, the only places I have found that offer the 996 variant are B&H and Newegg. I did come across a link on LG's website, but it only lists B&H currently.
https://www.lg.com/us/products/wtb?modelId=MD05779514
I'm sure you've probably also noticed the discussion on reddit about US996 on Verizon.
I don't think i have. can you link it? basically I think the unlocked will work on Verizon no problem, as all the bands are identical.

I agree. It seems as though it should work on Verizon. Honestly, I don't have enough knowledge to figure these things out for myself, but I do have a knack for acquiring information and following the advice of other developers such as yourself.

Sounds like we're both on the same path. I'm just glad to see that I'm not the only one out here who is ready to pounce!! Guess I better slow my roll. Excellent job with your efforts brotha. Keep up the good work!
:good::good:
here's hoping it'll work perfectly with Verizon and we get the headphones even tho it won't ship until later, and hopefully it's worth the wait
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S7 using Tapatalk
It seems like the best option for me. I'm not all that impressed with the Pixel. Would be nice to get those headphones, but I like over ear headphones better than in ear anyway. Just as long as I can optimize my chances of acquiring root I'm happy. Fingers crossed!
alright, just bit the bullet and pre-ordered at B&H.
$799 flat, no tax, and free 1-2 day shipping because i'm close in NJ and they're in NYC.
comes with the crappy little LG tablet too, which i don't need, but there's no point selling because the price is gonna be next to nothing when the market gets flooded with them and everyone is selling them online...so i might just keep it as a book reading tablet since it's only 7 inch, and my main tab is a galaxy tab s 8.4.
they're closed still for their holiday until weds, but i'm going to write to them weds to confirm what it costs to return it in case i get it and it won't activate with verizon. also want to know if i can easily cancel the order between now and then in case we hear more about it not working, but as of now, i'm confident it will work as it's got the exact same freqs as the VZW model.
i pre-ordered the silver because i don't want titan, so i have to wait until the end of november for it. newegg says it ships the 25th, so i'm sure B&H will get it around the same time. i don't mind waiting. already got myself a thin TPU case so i'm fine for now.
anyone else bite the bullet yet?
here a link to US996 on Amazon

ahh there ya go. but yeah 56 bucks more for tax. eh
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S7 using Tapatalk
I bit the bullet on Newegg, since it comes with a power bank and they have a more firm date. The 11th is annoying, since all carrier versions are already out....but I'd take an unlocked one over a carrier one any day. I'm also scouring ebay to see if any more H915s pop up.

I ended up preordering from B&H. I was reading that they will accept returns on opened cameras so I imagine shouldn't be a problem with a phone (hopefully without a restock fee).

Bummer. I might have to go with Amazon then.
If you have an AMEX Card, you get free ShopRunner membership that you can use on Newegg with free 2 day shipping and free returns.
I would either go that route or with Amazon prime.
Edit: I looked on Newegg about their preorder, and it does not allow the use of ShopRunner. It has a standard 3 day shipping, but there is no returns.
https://kb.newegg.com/Article/Index/12/3?id=1167#84 " Products covered by this return policy may only be returned for a replacement of the same item. If the original item is no longer available, a refund in the amount of the price originally paid will be issued."

I was checking out a forum for photographers that said B&H will accept cameras up to 30 days after purchase, but they may charge up to 15% restock. I feel more confident about Amazon prime with respect to returns. For me, the phone comes out to $869 with tax and free delivery. Which would be less than a 15% restock fee ($105) from B&H. So question is what's up with the restock fee?? Maybe I'll shoot them an email.
