Now that the Marketplace is closed, where can XDA members trade / sell their accessories? I know the Q&A or the Accessories sub-forum are not a marketplace, but where can members now make these arrangements? I have two cases I'd rather sell / trade with XDA members, so what do I do?
I know there is eBay, but since these are fairy small value items, I'd rather I make some XDA member happy and/or trade for something else, instead of going in the millions of generic auctions out there....
Is there a "parallel" process now?
Ok I guess there is nothing? It leaves us PMing and some way to let people know you have something of lesser value to trade or sell...
So anyone wants to know, just PM me... I can't see anything else

I've seen other users list things in their signature blocks here. Maybe that would help?

Sorry, but this forum is used to post links to specific deals, not just to general deal websites.

Showing people how to manipulate a carrier and mobile comany is against XDA rules, please dont do this again.
*sigh*
This sort of thing is why most companies don't bother with decent giveaways or promotions.
They give us £22 for nothing. Free money. Yet some people still have to find ways to steal more from them. Yes steal. :banghead:

Make a free version and a paid 'pro' version?
Make a single free app with in-app purchase that will upgrade it to a pro version.
I think the second way is more convenient because you don't need to handle two apps but I see the first case a lot more often on market.

I was asking myself that same question for months. I decided to go with your first option. I know most people are going to say that micro-transaction is the way to go now but I feel like its cheating the buyers out there.I recently bought a game for $3 and it also had micro-transaction as well. I paid for the game, dont want to keep on paying for perks that should be free.
I guess it just depends on the developer. What type of game are you looking into developing?

In all honesty, I see PAID apps on their way out by 2014. Everyone always goes for the lowest common denominator. So, the objective from a marketing standpoint would be to release only free apps and have them all have in-app purchases. Everyone will download something for free, and then without having to go back and download something else, they'll just tick the in app purchase box.
But, the pro apps that offer a lot will do just fine as paid.
IAP(In App purchases) have been the trend for a while now. I get your point about customers who rather download a free app over a paid app. In the long run customers will be spending more money on those free apps because of the IAP! I know someone who downloaded a free game and paid $40.00 for an IAP that gave him all the weapons and items.
I feel like if you have a good product, it will sell.

Also pro for 2 apps is they will give you 2x exposure on the play.
But if paid version only removes ads, will customers buy it?
You would need to add more features in the paid app to attract the customers to buying the game.

Like some time your app price on $4.99(this is too high).You put a price for everyone on like only 5 day(time you get).Put the price on $0.99 or Free.(This is one of the marketing strategies)

I've also thought about doing that same thing with my app. Have a special for a week or so sell it half price. Even after the special is over I can do another special in the future as well.

I'm thinking what if I make both — pro version and free version with in app billing option to upgrade?

You can have ads in the free version, and have an option of telling the user if they want to get rid of ads buy pro version now. Either way sounds good.

Yeah, free version with ads and option to upgrade to a pro + separate pro version. Pro version will have no ads and more functionality. Would be this fine or confusing for users?

This is the way most developers have been doing it for years. I don't think it would confuse users.
What is the difference between pro and separate pro version?

No difference, I think.
Was watching a few people talk about this new lockscreen app that pays you. Already made a buck but hey free money is free money. Thought I'd share.
