Australian Nexus 4 price if I trade in my Nexus S?

As the title says, I was wondering how much the Nexus 4 would cost if I traded in my Nexus S at any store in Australia that would sell this beast.
The Nexus 4 that I want is the 16GB version which will be $400 in Australia, but could anyone give a rough estimate of the Nexus 4 price if I traded in my Nexus S for it?

Places actually trade phones here? Never noticed that... Anywho, if they did, I'd really doubt they'd give you too much off considering it's trade-in (my guess is as good as yours but don't expect any more than what you'd get by selling the Galaxy Nexus yourself). I mean take a look at game consoles, they have horrid trade-in deals and just aren't worth it unless it's really just collecting dust.
If you sold it yourself, you could probably sell one $200-$250 at the moment depending on how quickly you want it to sell. Maybe use that for an estimate on the trade-in price.

I agree to this previous post, I don't live in Australia but for us, european citizens, problematic is the same.
Google will sell the Nexus 4 for €350 including tax + approximately €10 S&H.
Some distributors are on this price, they are buying a new...new..new Nexus S without any defects €63.
Today, an average Nexus S can be sold around €150, €180 maximum.

Well for me, that's a fair price considering I'll get a lot of money for Christmas (Minimum $200) and that money + trading in Nexus S = barely any of my own money for the Nexus 4. And I know some stores that trade, otherwise, selling my Nexus S would be another option.

Hopefully it's not like an EB Games trade-in and you get $5 off the price of the Nexus 4 when you trade in six old phones and a bunch of accessories with it, too! Haha. Which store would you go to to trade it in, though? I can't think of any stores in Australia that would let me trade in my older phone for a better price on a newer one. I think Mobicity do it but they are just an online store.

My first choice is JB Hi-Fi, and because they have the SGS 3 and Nexus 7, the chances are that they'll sell the Nexus 4. If they don't do trades, I might still buy it but $400 is pretty expensive for me. I was wishing that it would be $350 like it is in America, but Australia almost always gets a more expensive price
My second choice would be at my local shopping centre and keep searching until I find the right store. If I can't find a single store that sells the Nexus 4 and accepts trades, I'll just sell my Nexus S.

I don't believe JB do trade-ins for phones (I know they do for games). And about the price thing, it's really not that much more compared to America. We have GST included in the shown price whereas they don't so you have to add their state tax (not sure on the percentage but it comes out to be pretty close).

Hmmm... I might ask JB Hi-Fi about the Nexus 4 price :/
Then my other two options are:
1. Sell my Nexus S
2. See if JB Hi-Fi (Or any other store) can do any offers

The price should be about the same every (~$400 for the 16GB version and ~$350 for the 8GB one). Anywho, good luck!

[Q] Swappa Prices High?

I was on the Swappa site thinking I might purchase a Nexus 4 for less than retail but noticed the price is way higher than the retail for 16gb version ($349.00) on the Play store.
Why is this?

should be in q and a

Sorry about that, can I move it?

My guess would be people who can't purchase the device because it's not being sold in their market are driving 3rd party sales prices up

$350 before taxes and shipping. In my state that comes out to like $390.
Also a lot of those may have been put up when the phone was out of stock.
They put what they want to ask on there, so it's on them if the phone doesn't sell.

Might as well get one from the play store. It's cheaper there.

[Q] Display and screen gone :(

[Q] Screen gone
Hey guys
The day was not going good since the beginning and got worse by the end when I lost the display and screen of my beloved nexus 4.
The display turns on but the touch is not working at all. Rest the glass of course is broken.
I am posting a picture of the phone as well.please advise me from where I should purchase the display and what is the cost. Another question . Is the bezel attached to the display ? Will it be replaced as well(getting greedy )
Anddd if the display is expensive , we have a date for the nexus 5 as well. Any clues on its pricing?
Thanks a bunch guys

For parts look up eBay. I think there was a thread on where to get all the parts for N4. If someone can point out. Anyway, if the fixing price is over $100 I would just get a new one from play store. New cost $199 or wait for Nexus 5. Seems like Google going to announce it in October with Android 4.4.

How much will you get for your Nexus 4?

So, I'm assuming a large number of you will buy the Nexus 5 when it comes out. My question is this: How much do you plan to ask for your Nexus 4, assuming you plan to sell it. Do you think the fact that the Nexus 4 is sold out and obsolete will have any impact on your asking price, or more importantly, on the price a buyer agrees to?

Well here in India, it is still available at Local Shops, I bought the phone with Indian warranty just a month back for 418$ 16gb. I will atleast try to get 350$+ with it's 11 month warranty still left.

Check out sites such as eBay, Craigslist etc. to get an idea of what to sell the N4 for. Also keep in mind that the condition, accessories (box, original charger etc) and GB version, possibly even color (white or black version) all increase/decrease value.

They are still available here brand new, I just upgraded to one for free but they are selling for $300 unlocked with a plan (no contract though).
So I doubt you could get much over $250 with the way people are around here. That's Canadian $$ too lol

I will ask $224.67. I will get $213.92.

As an example, I sold my GNex for €150, I could probably sell my N4 for €250.
Then again, I just got it, so I wont

I asked to trade in my Nexus 4 at one of my local shops and they said they can't take it because apparently the serial number sticker is not there. I didn't think it was in important at all. Just peeled it off when it faded. Does that mean you can never resale without that back sticker. That can't be a reason to order a replacement surely.

$200-250 will probably be the market value in the USA once the N5 comes out. What other phones with similar specs and popularity are there? The closest competition are used Galaxy S3s (which I think is inferior to the N4).

Is the Nexus 10 a good buy brand new at $350.00?

Wal-Mart in my area has the Nexus 10 reduced to $350.00. I'm thinking about another tablet because I haven't purchased one in a while and want to upgrade. I was just curious if any of you think thats a good buy? I have never even played with a Nexus 10 is the only reason I ask.

I recently bought brand new, 32gb on ebay for $300. Still one of the best tablets available.

Hi,
Nexus 10 is still an amazing tablet, in the Best Tablets of 2013 by MKBHD he said that he's favorite is still Nexus 10! Here's the link: Top 5 Tablets (Early 2014) Collab!: http://youtu.be/Rrm4isCQDkQ.
I don't have any complaints about my tablet, it performs really well, also has an stunning screen. For 300$ (eBay) or 350$ (in your area) I think it's a great deal . Also, maybe it's worth getting on Wal-Mart there, because if it's what I understood, you will get it the time you buy, so no waiting for shipping or paying for shipping.
