I had one guy in books a million offer 700 but what tripped me out was a dude and dave and busters saw me on it and knew what phone it was right away.....asked if it was for sprint then pulled out some cash out his pocket and was like ill give you 800 for that phone right now we can walk down to sprint and get it activated lol.

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.

If you choose a $1000 deductible on your car and it is only worth $5000 in the blue book...that's 20%. You get what you pay for. Best Buy insurance has no deductible but costs more. They also don't cover lost or stolen.
I got my wife a used Epic on swappa.com for $165 about 3 months ago.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
Yeah I picked up my epic on ebay practically new for 165 about two months ago, then sold my evo shift for 200 cause sprint wouldn't just switch me to this phone even though they offered me nexus. Just gotta make sure its got a clear esn. So id say by the end of the year u should prolly drop ur insurance cause even if u gotta pick up another one it would be around 100 for this phone anyways sprint usually sends u a referb anyways. Terrible and good part of android phones depending on how u look at it is they lose most of their value by 6 to 8 months after being released.

Being the son of an insurance agent, I can say that people who choose $1000 deductibles have ****ty agents. My mom would have fully explained the cost differential, as the difference is not that much per month.
Using your analogy downplays the severity, My car was 20k used. if I had to pay $4000 in the event of an accident i'd have some problems...
As it stands now, I only have to pay $250.
If asurion offered more than one policy, I would choose one that gives me the best advantage...
Ah but to avoid a 25% increase in your policy would you have accepted a change to a $500 deductible? Assurion used to be $50 regardless of phone. Now phones cost a LOT more and are a hot item to steal. Since they cover theft rather than increase the monthly cost to $12 they went the way of an increased deductible. I guess they could have kept the cost down if they removed the lost or stolen part.

So just got home and found out the wife dropped her phone and broke the gorilla glass. It was in a Seido Active X case.
She took it to a repair center and they said no insurance, buy a new phone.
Haven't several people on here gotten this issue fixed for like $35? Contract not up for like a year, so full price not an option.

tell her to live with it and think about her poor defenseless phone every time she makes a phone call.. Or worse case, buy her a flip phone..
or you could try buying a bad ESN phone off ebay and see about switching the glass.. Maybe you could find a tutorial somewhere.. Either way.. good luck

You should just etf for 100 and upgrade today. 100-42=58, so 58+199=257, which is probably worth it. Only 50 more and you upgrade today. Cancel the backorder.
That's just my opinion though. Not sure if you have to pay the deductible on the backordered epic. If so, definitely etf.

He doesn't have to etf. He can pay $50 for early upgrade with how close he is, like I did. So $50 - $42 + $ of device he upgrades to. All in all he pays $8 extra to upgrade now.

Unfortunately since mobile odin is not available on our device yet, you need a computer.
And just to warn you about walmart, I have never bought from them, but Sprint may not support you if you buy from them rather than sprint. They may not fix your device if something happens to it, depending on how nice the associate is and what store you go to. Also, if you change your contract after 30 days and before 180 days (6 months), walmart will charge you 375 I think.

Just make sure before you buy from a 3rd party retailer, read the terms and conditions to decide if the initial price difference is worth it, and read reviews from people to see if they got screwed or not.

You have to pay to reset your upgrade, but it's based on how far into your contract you are. At how close he is he would only pay $50 like I did. And the offer for a fully working Epic is $42. I just did all of this this month when I got my Nexus.

Just found out I'm eligible for my upgrade so I'm thinking its time for the S3.
I was thinking of listing my Epic with what ever rom you want on it
16gb memory card
Sedio case. Zagg shield on the front.
4 batteries. Oem 1500. Oem 1800. Crappy 1500. Brand new as of Friday Anker 1800
I'm thinking 120 would be decent for that and I can cover shipping in the US cause I got a hook up.
The goal here is paypal. That way I can buy the new phone right away and move my account over cause this is my work phone. I can't afford to be with out it for a day.

I have the SGSII running CM10.1. To trade it in for the $75 bucks, do I have to go back to stock or does it not matter since they're going to reflash it anyway?

I agree with this. Just like Gamestop, they'll buy your product back for as little as possible. Meanwhile, they still have the product they're buying back from you on their shelves for the original full price, or discounted & it still beats the price they would have pay for yours. Put it on craigslist, ebay or amazon.
Meh... Craigslist is full of Nigerian spammers. Maybe I'll sell it here on XDA.
