My s6 edge cracked because I dropped it from my kitchen and now I wanna sell it . How much is the fair price for such condition? If I keep and use it, will it crack further down the road (assuming i won't drop it again). Attached are photos of the phone. It's T Mobile by the way.
The curved screen replacement of S6 Edge was around $200 - $250. At worst case, I would assume S6Edge+ would cost around $250 - $300. Now, an international variant costs around $700 on ebay. So your phone cost just went down to $400 - $450 with a cracked screen. Now, there could be some who are okay with using the cracked display and they might be willing to get the phone for like $500 at most. It's hard to tell what is the market worth, however, if I were to sell mine, I would assume the cost based on this.
I'll give you a fiver for it, no problem. Send me your PayPal address.
I wouldn't buy a cracked phone
I paid $500 for my sealed in box s6e+ but how much would you want ? im interested
One of those coloured tempered glass screen protectors would cover most of that, just leaving a little crack in the corner.
Either that or get insurance, and claim.
I bought Squaretrade on mine 129.00 for three years protection and 75.00 deductible. Not sure why anyone would not do this.

It's rooted with CM 4.2.8
Includes an 8G microSDHC class-6 card
And recently switched to using RA-dream-v1.5.2 for recovery.
No case/holster.
Does have a screen protector.
It has the tiniest 1/8 inch long hairline scratch on the screen itself. It does not distort any viewing. Otherwise, has no other scratches on it.
What do you think I can sell it for?
I'm planning on getting the Nexus One when released.
My wife doesn't want my G1 - so I may sell it. Am just curious.
they usually go for between 100 and 220(max, usually 200) but i would check craigslist and ebay if i were you...
I was hoping for $100, as it's a year old.
Im glad to hear $200 is possible.
Thanks oshizzle!
160 is cheap for a decent one. If it had a cracked screen I could see 100 being a possibility, but 150 at least if that's the only scratch.
It's insane what the freaking G1 will sell for on ebay.
If you choose to sell it do yourself a favor first, get it unlocked.
Unlocked phones seem to add $75 to the going rate.
If its clean, rooted with a current mod, and unlocked....$140-$175
I fail to understand why a phone that, I can get for $129.99 with tmobile, will sell for $129 on ebay ... broken.
I watched an auction for one that had OBVIOUSLY been run over by a car.
The guy even said, all the plastic parts are cracked or broken. The screen is broken, it does not work, the thing is falling apart. It's junk!
The freaking thing sold for $92.
Personally I think the Chinese are buying them all up and refabing them into operational units or selling them for parts. I mean I can buy every part I need to make a G1 except the mother board and the daughter board off of ebay. (and pay about $129)
Thought about going and extending my contract so I could get a new G1 and then selling my old one one ebay. I figure I'd break even at least.
wow, G1's are being sold for more money than I bought it for. When I purchased my G1 at release w/ a tmobile contract, i paid 125 dollars for my g1, i nabbed it a day early from release . but still, are you telling me that g1's are going for that much out there?

That's what I'm sayin' ... WOWZA!!!
If that's the going rate, I may just buy some functional GeeWons and root them and unlock them and flash them with the latest CM and throw on a $0.99 screen protector and get DOUBLE-DOUBLE!!!
I feel I did a terrible thing when I bought my G1 judging by this thread. I paid almost 700 CAD and ended up signing onto a 2 year contract after the fact because I needed data as well....
There should be an icon for getting pounded in the bum.
Remember everyone,
These are the "current" prices.
3 months ago G1's were going for about $50 broken, and $120 used.
After the phone first released, they were like $450 for an unlocked phone and even more if it was one of the first rooted phones.
To many people are buying the G1 because it is the new Super toy. My friend with an Iphone, another friend with a Nokia 900 and I are constantly playing the, 'Oh yeh my phone does..." game.
The more people who buy them, the more the market floods and the faster prices can drop.
A large handful of these people you have met...we often see them with posts like "HELP! I just bricked my phone!"
Prices will go down when the Nexus One gets released because it will become the new HOT item.
Then we can all buy super cheap replacement parts for our G1's that are also running the Nexus software thanks to people like Cyanogen, Dwang, and all the other great Devs who have been working on these phones.
As far as paying to much...can't help you there. Research is always your best friend.
$125 that seems good
G1's in the US in perfect condition are about $200-$250 on ebay... I got mine a couple months ago for $190, and felt lucky at that price. Perfect condition, only 2 hours of talk time, guy got the phone to test for a magazine, used it for 2 weeks, then sold it. I did plenty of research and spend a month waiting for one in the right condition at the right price to come my way.
Anyone that thinks they only paid "$125" for it are ignoring the fact that was the 2yr contract price, the actual price of the phone new is more like $400.
If all it has is that one little scratch, it will go for up to $200 if unlocked and in an auction. If you do a buy it now posting, $150-$175 will sell quickly and is more than fair.
I push them to $400 AUD ,,, if someone wants their rooted phone they can pay the price
I will buy them for $300 unlocked if I have someone wanting a phone rooted
they are $460 New
If someone Brings me their phone I will root for Free ...

Thanks for your valuable input on this.
If I should post it on ebay (most likely there than Craigslist), do you recommend I mention the technical details?
ie: it is rooted, has installed Cyanogen ROM 4.2.9.1 + RA-dream-v1.5.2 recovery
I know for sure I will definately take some high resolution pics of it to clearly show its fine condition.
Yes, realize what you pay for.
When you say that you are paying someone on ebay or craigslist the same price what you can get one from Tmob for, you are not. You pay that price at Tmob because you are signing a contract. On ebay and craigslist you are just getting the phone. That's why you get these phones for so cheap from any cell carrier. Because you are signing a contract. If you buy the phone without the contract, you will pay $300 plus for the phone.
Some people buy online for different reasons. To root the phone or use on another network.
And lately, people are not going to want to pay that much for a phone they are going to experiment on anyway. You can get a good used mytouch for about $150. When I had my G1, I bought it a year ago from someone for $175. But, if yours is in decent condition, you should still get a good price for it though.
I just picked mine up and was wondering if anyone has dropped this thing yet? I feel like if i drop it from 5 feet the screen will shatter
I'm fairly certain one would feel as if the screen would shatter on any smartphone of this caliber. That being said, I'm not going to be the one to volunteer my future Evo for the good of science.
Probably will...it's glass with a plastic bezel around it. I highly recommend not dropping it 5 feet.
Squaretrade offers alternative insurance to the cell companies. It's cheaper ($6/mo for this phone) and has a lower deductible ($50). Covers accidental handling damages according to the page. Not sure if I can post this: http://www.squaretrade.com/pages/cellphone-landing3
My T-Mobile G1 insurance with T-Mobile is like $6 a month and had a $150 deductible.
Not affiliated with them in anyway.
I dropped my phone from about feet and broke my phones screen. It seems like theres a cheap plastic layer thats all cracked up but it fully works. is there an easy fix? IT looks like the layer below is perfect. I called sprint and there repair centers do not fix evos. Looks like an easy fix. if i could get the layer. any ideas? i do have insurance but i do not want to get a phone with a crappy screen.
Your only hope is insurance at this point. I searched long and hard, and even if you find a replacement digitizer (the layer above the screen you shattered) It would cost around 100 dollars, and you probably dont have access to a clean enough room to replace it without getting dust under the screen. You have insurance, pay up the 100 asap and get a new one.
Just to let you know its 150 now. My pre broke about 2 mnths before getting my evo and thy changed it for all smartphone/touchscreen its 150.

wow wtf 150. that really sucks i wont be able to for 2 weeks just bought a macbook
honestly cannot believe how cheap this screen is built i bought this without the 2 year upgrade... fulll price 475 1 week ago. i could throw my hero at the wall and this wouldnt happen. it fell from a height that i didnt even think twice about it breaking. then i picked it up and my jaw dropped. w.e tho i will have to wait 2 weeks.
Replaced a cracked evo screen through TEP Sprint insurance just a few weeks ago, it was still $100
I will have to get a rubber case after i get a new one. anyway how do i go about "un" rooting my phone to send to asurion?
The Assurion deductible is $100
I did the same thing and ended up just doing the insurance claim. The deductible was $100 not $150. It sucked it happened the first week I had the phone but I did get a brand new in the box Evo. Also based on the stuff I read on the forums I kept the battery, charger, and SD card from the old phone. On the return envelope it said in fine print "return phone only, no batteries or accessories". Not worth a hundred bucks but at least I have a spare battery.
Sometimes when something falls just right it breaks easily. The bottom line is its a glass screen and has more surface area than say a hero. Best if it doesn't fall.
squaretrade has a $50 deductable and it cost $75 (customer discount) for 2 years including accidental damage. I think normally it's around $100 for it.
wow i wish i waited a few months. i paid $400 dollars and split up the cost into 4 monthly payments, just paid my last $140 tab bill, ouch.. maybe time to dump it on ebay before the price goes down more
my tab has alot of scratches in the screen since i have taken off the screen protector. seems gorilla glass isnt as tough as they say. what can i do? does tmobile or samsung have any kind of warranty?
Not against normal wear & tear unfortunately. The scratches aren't covered under warranty.
ok well what could happen to my tab that would be covered?
Here's the actual warranty coverage info...
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/service/warranty/SGH-T849ZKATMB
What does the title in this thread mean?
Is it true that the T-mobile tab is now $250 w/2 year contract? I don't see this at the t-mobile site.

Don't think for a minute that it cost a lot for a screen....There may be high sales now but soon the true cost will be no more than $80.00. Remeber true cost for many phones to OEMS like Apple is $65-100.00. What do you guys think! Here are a few links that I came up with for LCD, and digitizer replacement. Feel free to post and add more for those in need that will be organized into one thread.

I am on t-mobile and got insurance for $7.99/month. For ~$100 per year it will pay for itself for two years if I replace the phone once.
Insurance is worth it imo because screen damage is only one possible problem. There is also water damage, theft or other defects that may present themselves after the manufacturer warranty expires.

Yes but carriers may soon have parts to replace screens for like free or a small fee. I paid 35.00 to replace my EVO 4g cracked screen

Last time I checked Squaretrade was a much better option, but doesn't cover theft. It's only offered for the first 30 days of ownership. Also, the deductible for both is very high.

Oh I didn't know that. That is a good deal if you can get them to do it.
Ouch I didn't know there was a $150 deductible. Now I am regretting signing up for it. :crying:

Its better then Sprints. I just got my phone the other day and they told me that insurance is $11 a month and that the deductible is $200 :crying:

I used to work for them. A lot of people assume that they get their phone replaced with a new one in-store, but they don't. It gets shipped out and repaired if possible. Cracked screens are almost always repaired. They try their hardest to avoid giving the customer a new phone. But if they have replace the phone, it's a refurb. If there are no replacements available, they get store credit for the amount they paid for the phone.

This information is very outdated as it has changed a bit ago. The phone gets sent out (you can get a loaner phone if available for $50. This gets refunded when the loaner is returned). Usually within 1-5 business days you get your replacement phone (same model).

Soon? Psssh yeah right, not believable for a minute when a t959 vibrant (gs1) LCD screen replacement is $89 + free shipping and a t989 gs2 is $149 + free shipping, both from amazon and is the cheapest I have found.. which is about the same pricing as LCD replacement sites from China and wholesale sites like Alibaba and Aliexpress.
True though, their wholesale price should be about 3x less than retail but I've been searching extensively for weeks and there are no wholesalers selling for anything less than what I've stated above. It will be years until we see LCD screens for the gs3 at a respectable price, like claimed in the OP. By then the value of the gs3 will become greatly depreciated from what it is today since higher end phones will be available.
P.S none of those links work

My screen cracked, don't even know how. Then two more small cracks developed while the phone was in my pocket for a few hours.
I mean, wtf.

Look at it...scratches. I dont have a screen protector but I've only had it two days and I keep it in a leather holster. Don't know how the hell it happened just after two days...FML!
