Got a link to the ebay bid? Might be cool to see.
And maybe the HD2 will be known as something cool in the future, like how people still collect and use Amigas. With the dev community here and it's many possibilities, maybe it will retain some value, at least until a suitable alternative comes up (sadly, there have not been any)

No effing way!
I recently bought anotger HD2, a brand new unopened piece for US $285- a thousand bucks gotta be a sick joke!
Swyped from my HTC HD2 using XDA app
A thousand bucks is just a joke for phones.. I see many iphone 3g/4g for 1000 bucks.. Not sure why and I don't see anything special.. unless the inside is plated with gold or something
This phone is great and all but there is no way its worth $1000. I've seen places selling them a lot cheaper then that. I've bought several new
phones since owning my HD2 and I've stopped using them or have sold them and gone back to the HD2 every time and as much as I love this
phone there would be no way I'd be willing to shell out that kind of money for it. You could buy two Sensations for that price point. The seller is
crazy if they think they'll get this or anything close to it. Maybe the price didn't translate well or something,
I hunted the link down on ebay if anyone else wants to take a look..
Thanks for the link, the reason I kept one bnib was for one day to be worth a lot of money. Another seller on amazon has it for 999.95 not sure what version this are but my guess that's probably the reason for the very high price.

I can buy brand new t-mobile US model still sealed with sim & 16GB card & have unlocked free once purchased for less than 300USD ...
It's a great device but not worth a 1,000bucks to anyone.
You guys are bursting my bubble i already went through the Bennie baby crisis during the 90's not sure if I can take the hd2 not be worth money one day. I guess it has kept its value pretty well since being out around 2 years ago.
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda premium
Kept its value as device still competes in size & style to modern handsets & has a good physical construction feel, plus with custom cross rom development it made its own unique used device market.
Common faults & ****e faulty or bad repair handsets keep used prices sensible.
I think the seller is just kidding himself to have it at such a high price, especially when an HTC One X is half that. You can set any price you want for Buy It Now.
However, new, unopened HD2s are obviously rare, (mostly because nobody was such a fool to invest in electronics), and smartphones were definitely more expensive unlocked in the recent past, so maybe he's just out of touch.

I have a few questions. Where can I get an HD2 for a good price? It seems like no matter where I look, it's still selling for $300. Since it's a GSM phone, can I use it with AT&T by unlocking it? I have a tilt 2 but I'd really like to try this phone out, that's why I'm asking and this will definitely be a step up for me.
You can definitely pick one up for lower than 300$. If I were you I would look on craigslist in your area or even eBay. The prices of a new hd2 should be around the 250 mark maybe a little lower. You can also unlock the hd2 so you can use it with at&t. If you want a hd2 that will work with at&t 3g look for a Telstra hd2 (9193) that work great but that maybe around the 275$ mark.

lol, you can have mine for $250 shipped
I brought mine on ebay for $120. Sniped it at the last second. Normally though I've seen them sell on there about or under $175 even. You just have to wait really. Look at an odd time if you can like on a Tuesday morning bout 2am. Lol. Not a lot of people are up then bidding so you might have better luck. Plus a lot of people don't know for your best price you really should end an auction on a weekend like late Sunday when people are most likely to be online.

common man....they are all over Craigslist for $150 **mint condition** infact i am getting one today.... for a friend !!
Not real sure where you live but here in Maryland they're far and few in-between on Craigslist. But it does separate into cities so the sellers by you won't show up for me. :-(

Hi all.
I am thinking about picking up a solid, older model android phone to bring with me to Germany. I am moving there in a couple weeks and will immediately get a German prepaid sim (probably Simyo).
I have read a ton of good things about the MT4G and I think they run about $150 or so used. Just wanted to hear any opinions on whether or not you think it's a good idea or if I should look into another phone as well.
I would also love some help on what to look for when buying one of these used. I remember reading somewhere that some cpus are better than others. How do I know?
Thanks in advance.
I would look into other phones. But if $150-$200 is your budget, go for the myTouch. If not, I'd try for one of the new HTC One Series (One S, One X, One XL). Very nice phones. Hope this helps you in your decision

Yeah, I should have put my budget. I would like to spend under $200.

I have seen a few Sensations sell for right at $200, not too bad of condition either (battery backing all scuffed up, light nicks around the bezel- easily covered by a case or buy a new backing) but the MT4G is still a good choice for under $200
Not the best phone on the market, but for a almost 2 year old phone ain't bad at all

Hello all, it's finally come time to get rid of my faithful HTC HD2. I've had Android on it now for a couple of years, essentially saving the phone from a dusty cupboard since upgrading to the SGS2. I use both phones, the GSII mainly for net and the HD2 as a phone because it's got hardware phone buttons and means making and taking calls is so much easier.
I considered putting it on eBay but there's a fair few on there and i've had scammers come at me from all over the place back in the day. I ended up using a comparison website to find out how much i'd get and to be honest it wasn't that much less than I expected through eBay.
So i've got rid of my HD2 and i'm using the money to put toward the Galaxy S III when that comes out. I also have a second contract with a GS II so maybe next year i'll do the same, or even sell it now and pay the contract off
Anyway, if anyone else wants to have a look at the site it's www.onbay.co.uk/recycle
Not worth it in think you better off selling at a pawn shop or craigslist.

Did you try your luck on the xda-dev's seller forum?
All you really have to do is post up your device, and look at the offers from other members.
Not a bad deal in my opinion.

I'm just a bit wary when Joe Bloggs is involved, there's a lot of nutters out there. Pawn Shops rarely give me what i'd like, plus they'll be selling it for £100 more within the hour. Even if the recycler does that...at least I won't be able to see it.

I have listed a phone through there but nobody took interest. I've seen some scams too, plus it all seems to be 90% USA.
Thanks for the replies anyway
Fair points, we'll how much did you get for it, if I may ask?

*Shrug* probably old stock, though I've never heard of cowbooms and would probably be weary of making a purchase from them.
Ebay has em around 247 or so new in box from various sellers (though there was one 139$ one that was actually a T-Mobile MyTouch [Magic] but they put G2 in the title).
Not sure how good that is. I've seen many people having issues (mostly with Apple products) being sold as either used/new and being in bad condition.
I have a newer HTC one s that I've had for a month or two now, I got it on a future shop warranty upgrade as a replacement for my old HTC desire. I am tied into the warranty for another year and a half paying monthly. It was $10 a month on the desire now its $13 a month for the one s cause they consider it a higher end phone than the desire was I guess. Anyways I miss the desire and a few things about it like expandable memory plus money is tight lately so i have been thinking about trying to trade the one s to someone for their older nexus one or similar phone and have them take over the monthly warranty payments. My girlfriend still has the desire and I like the look of the n1 a bit better and would prefer not to have the exact same as her. I also liked the huge selection of roms for the desire/n1 and prefer stock android.
What do you guys think chances of getting a trade, I see some n1 advertised about 2 hours from where I live between $120 and $180. Maybe I could buy one and sell mine but would prefer a trade as things may go much smoother. Thanks for any ideas or advice.

Please rest with your new One S!!
I would change my N1 with that if I had money to spend as-of-now..
Nexus One (such as Desire) have lots of problems, such as Multitouch axis issue, faulty hardware (mobo to replace sometimes), no more official Google support since ICS, etc.
There're a lot of issues here.
Just my 2cents.
Sent from my HTC Nexus One using xda premium
Well I haven't had the multi touch issue and I don't play any games on my phone. I have only run custom roms forever so no real issue with updates. No mobo problems with my old desire, my girlfriends or my friends. Mine had a menu button and home button failure which I think was caused by me sanding the paint off without disassembly. (made mine polished chrome). I have no issues with the one s except I already ran out of space on the internal sd card but I still miss the feel of my old phone even though it may not be quite as fast.
Anyways it looks like I may have made a deal purchasing a nexus one with extra battery, dock and a 16gb card for $115 so I will be selling my one s for enough to cover that and the extended warranty balance plus some.
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda app-developers app
What are you selling your one s for? And is it unlocked? Have had my nexus one since day one and still love it. But i was maybe looking to buy something new.
Sent from my Nexus One using xda app-developers app
It bootloader unlocked and rooted not carrier unlocked yet but I think I will do that with the tools on here. I'm thinking $400 with the otterbox and one other case, screen protector on it and the 17 months remaining over the counter warranty (only good here in Canada).

You're really crazy to sell your One S and buy N1 ! ! ! !
Don't do that Please ! ! ! !

If I was happy with the Desire is their anything much worse about the n1? The dock is a big plus to me, and call quality is probably better than desire because of the dual mics. The one s has dual mics as well and does seem noticeably better than the desire.
I miss my desire and figured the n1 would be pretty comparable. I already sent payment for the n1 anyways and will be advertising my one s locally. I think I got a pretty good deal on it even if it is a bit beat up. Selling the newer one will put me ahead financially.
