Talked to the Sprint online chat people and they said I can get my early upgrade now.
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?
put it back as stock it doesn't raise a red flag.

Honestly man, I would try and sell your phone on ebay or craigslist for 300 bucks instead of trading it in, unless it's not a big deal for you! :thumbup:

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.
I traded my GS3 into Best Buy and got $250 which covered the cost of my GS4. All I paid was $25 for tax.

Was just browsing the samsung site after i got my new S3, and wow I can't believe it! My S2 gets a quote of $135 from Samsung directly! that's right! i can mail in my phone to samsung and they will give me a cheque for it!
anyone tried this service? do they pay you exactly what is quoted?
Seems to work in US and Canada ATM.
also is the S2 worth more than $135 on the used market?

Your s2 is worth more when you sell it privately. Avoid these type of 'deals' unless you really don't care for the phone and don't wish to make much profit off of it.

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.

Best buy does price match so if you take a picture of the price on the gs3 and take it there you can get the gs3 for 150.00 that is what I am going to be doing.

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 always heard some good experiences with ebay although I cannot speak on the amount of money you would get based on how you configure your sale. I personally always go for craig's list because it allows you to work out an arrangement that you both can agree on instead of settling. Works best if you use the built in auto forward email feature so that you do not have to disclose your email address to potential buyers and leave the possibility of being bothered later when the Nexus is long gone. Good luck!

I think eBay will get you more money as far as "hey, I sold it for $175" but then when you pay the fees and the shipping you end up with $125 in your pocket. Craigslist will give you cash instantly (no gaming playing with PayPal), and you will probably get more in the end if you sell it for less money.

Yeah but its not like you'll be out of anything besides time. You don't send the product until they pay. Some jerks will bid on a item with no intentions to pay but its not like you take a loss financially. Ebay will refund all fees associated with listing the item if the buyer doesn't pay. But it does suck if you have to go thru the hassle of relisting it again lol.

Myself and everybody I know skip over adds that don't post a number, when I actually want to buy something I want to talk to you now not wait for you to ignore my email because your to lazy to take 30 seconds and delete your add (which really is that easy from an android phone) after a sell like a previous reply implied.

I would try another tech forum like Hard OCP or Anandtech or similar. Both have established markets with few incidents. Make sure the user can verify themselves, uses Heatware, etc. If that failed, I'd try Craigslist, meet publicly, cash-only, etc. The hits from either Paypal or Ebay alone is OK but NOT both. I only sell things on ebay if I know I can't sell it elsewhere (needs bigger market, niche item).

Agree with Scott and thread will probably be closed--but my two cents is S5 is not much of an upgrade over S4 for my needs and imho--that can generate many comments pro/con also--
Thread cleaned. Watch the language and treat each other with civility please.
Next time we have to come in the thread will be closed.
Thank you.
If you could sell your S4 i would do that and buy the S5 outright. I have the S4 and see no reason to jump to the S5 right now. It looks to be a great phone but not worth the move right now for me.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk
I have the s4 and wife has the S5 and all I see is more att cap on it. Though a nice phone wife won't let me root it.
As for the next plan it's pretty good you pay 15 for the line and 25 for the phone. Your not tied to a 2 year contract and you can upgrade every 18 months. Now if you don't go next you get tied in for 2 years and the phone plan goes back to normal to 40 per phone. Either way your paying for the phone it all depends on which way you want to pay for it. So next is not bad you get more data and your not tied in. The only thing when you upgrade in 18 you have to give phone back to forgive balance on it or pay balance to keep it.

Just be careful with Craigslist there's nothing but scammers on there. I was selling something and the person said they paid through PayPal. I got notice from PayPal that funds were there but I was not allowed to see them until item was shipped and verified received. So I looked into it with PayPal and they verified they NEVER hide funds from anyone, so it turned out to be a PayPal hoax. If any with Craigslist buyer has to be local cash only face to face meet with me.
And even then I show up strapped I don't play with Craigslist buyers.

I would say 250-300 go on ebay and see what their going for there should give an idea of price range. When you advertise it push that it's on MDL or MDB and doesn't have the upgrade that Locked everyone else's bootloader.
It's all up to you and how fast you want to sell it. Remember people can upgrade for 200 and now that the S5 is out I'm sure price will drop. The only advantage is your still on MDB.
