Cheap s8 from China, whats the deal? - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

I found alot of cheap s8 listings on taobao, $300. What's the deal with these? Too good to be true?
I can't post links, but you can search Samsung s8 on taobao and sort by most sales.

I think they are fake, or the price is fake. When u try to purchase the item, the price will change.
And there is one more possible that those are second hand phones.

Pretty cheap HTC Sensation on ebay

Here I was looking for one for myself, and found this one pretty cheap - sadly will not work in my region, so thought will share -
http://www.ebay.com/itm/HTC-Sensati...0670613262?pt=Cell_Phones&hash=item2eb8e68f0e
Bid start pretty low for ones looking for unlocked contract free sensation.
Again, I don't know the seller - so no responsibilities from me or anyone at XDA staff. But seller has feedback, should be legit.
someone is going to cry about ebay links, not that bad of a price though
I assume this had a buy it now price before? At the moment its an auction at 330 with 2 days left...
auction listing as offer are bogus, you never know when the price will go up the sky.
Yes, did have a buy it now of 300.
only stupid ****s bid over 300$ ****ing hate ebay noobs

Good deal if legit

Do not know if it is legit, but speak out if you know.

Unlocked Note $520

That's going to greatly diminish the value of the international notes if that's true.
The first one looks fake... they even mention you're actually buying it from Expansys.
I don't trust no-name sites like these, as they OFTEN mis-represent the items as new when they're refurbs or open boxes..

Swappa or eBay?

Okay so I see that Swappa has been linked with XDA... or at least the Nexus 4.
I was wondering what you guys think? Would you, personally, buy from Swappa or from eBay? The prices seem pretty similar. I just want to know which is more trustworthy.
I want to buy a Nexus 4 but I'm from India and Google stopped accepting Indian credit cards after the 15th of this month.
I don't know swappa, but I often end up buying stuff on ebay, basically looking at the % recommendations etc of the vendor. Keep over 99% and you should be OK
and if the price is unusually low, keep away...
good luck

Market Price for Used?

Currently Google is selling the 128gb model 6p in the US for $649.00 (+tax + shipping). Is that a reduced price? I'm seeing multiple listings for used 128gb models, but all are for more than $649.00. Are these Swappa sellers hoping to find a sucker? Or has Google dropped the price for the holidays? I can't imagine why anyone would want to pay more for a used phone vs less for a new one with a warranty. Weird.
It would make a lot of sense in markets where the 6p is not available officially, but most likely these sellers are trying their luck and taking their time with selling them at a higher price to see what happens. Maybe the slight possibility that these phones might be out of stock in stores during the holidays in peek demand, might be something to look at.

Supply and demand my friend. Its relatively difficult for folks to get their hands on these phones.
That is the retail price, it hasn't been raised or lowered. The 5X on the other hand has gone down in price.

Has anyone used eGlobalCentral UK?

Just wondering if anyone has used eGlobalCentral UK to order the Galaxy S7 edge (G935F) non-dual sim version?
Did it come with a UK charger? Their price is fantastic but I don't want to buy it if it comes with a european charger
Please see the below post for consumer information about this web shop, tldr; they are a bunch of scamsters, they will take your money and not deliver a product!

Yup, as the other post says, they're a bunch of scam artists. I've heard they resell used products as new, often with visible defects... Definitely use at your own risk!
If you're happy buying from abroad and are looking for a good price I'd stick with Gearbest. You can currently buy a OnePlus 6 from Gearbest for £330, FYI! :silly:
