When the Note I came out Costco sold it for regular price with Flip Case and two Screen protectors. Does anyone know or have gotten the Note II
at Costco? If so does it come with same accessories? Haven't had a chance to make it down there to ask them.
I was told they are getting it near launch date. They already sent back original Note inventory. Accessories unknown but usually lame except for one OEM they include.

AT&T at Costco....
I was at Costco before as well, and noticed that the Kios/stand didn't have the AT&T phones anymore. I asked what happened, and they said they are no longer doing AT&T phone in the store, but will still do it online... I'm not sure if it's all Costco, or just in my region(Northwest)....
I asked about the Note 2 as well, and they were only able to answer for the carriers that had in the store..
I have not seen it online(haven't checked yet today) on the Costco site... so, just ended up pre-ordering from AT&T...
I work there...we still sell at&t phones and service through the with wireless advocates kiosk. I have no clue what the accessory bundle is going to be, but I'm pretty sure its going to be 279.99 or 289.99...we don't sell phones outright. Only new, upgrades, and add a line.

So, at least it's not all of Costco Kios that AT&T is pulling out of.. was hoping that they were still at the one in my area... as I liked getting the accessories as a bonus..
Do you know when it will go live online for order? I know when I ordered the SGSIII, I was able to pre-order it online.

I do know its only going to be for home delivery as of now. You'll be able to go online yourself or go to a kiosk and the employees there will order it for you. Kind of sucks, I understand why (note is still considered a niche category phone).

Unfortunatly, the person at that time stated that they couldn't order any AT&T phone at the Kios, and it has to be done only online, as they got rid of the AT&T display..
So, not sure what the story is.. haha... either way, I'm good with the online order from AT&T direct...
Thank you everyone for your input. I will be purchasing my phones from Costco from now on.

Depending on the type of account you have, they will honor the 14 or 30 day return. After that, 90 days for device swap for same device. Just an FYI for you. As long as you're not one to abuse this policy, they will help you anyway they can.
Only downside is they hardly ever have pre-orders. I've only seen the one s for tmo.
I was wondering if I can sell my Galaxy S3 so that I could by the Note 2. I only wonder because I bought the S3 several months ago under the 2 year agreement price. I of course would still have the contract but don't know about how it works. Thanks
As long as you fulfill your contractual obligation, you can sell it

You can sell your phone to an individual and buy a Note 2 (either paying full price or getting it used) and activate it on your account in place of the S3. Your contract will not be affected by that. Not sure I completely understand the question.

My intention is to sell the S3 to someone, then use the money to get the note through an upgrade on another line of mine. I basically just want to make sure the other person will be able to activate the phone.

People buy and sell phones all the time, as long as the ESN isn't bad in any way (like marked as stolen or currently in use on another plan) Anyone can activate the device on their plan.
When I was testing some things on the EVO 3D, I had someone send me their phone that I could use for testing purposes, and then someone else was kind enough to offer their other line because I needed to be able to test activation and real world usability of a fix. I gave them the ESN, and they were able to activated it without even having the phone in their possession. So I had someone else's device on ANOTHER person's plan. It doesn't matter to Sprint, it's all just numbers, the only thing stopping them is whether it's stolen or already in use.
So as long as I deactivate it from my account we should be good?

Hello XDA:
I'm looking to shop for a Galaxy Note 2, with clean IMEI number, anyone know of a best place to buy it off the contract? I want a brand New in the box etc...
If anyone know, please post the deals in this thread...
Thanks,
I'm sure it will help many people who are looking to buy one.
Went to best buy. Traded in my phone. They paid me about $200 bucks for my phone, and beat Tmobile's price of $319 for the note. Best Buy sold me a note for $219 bucks, and THEN they subtracted the $200 they gave me for my old phone. I walked out with a new note 2 only paying $37.70. (I must make notice that I also purchased their warranty which replaces the phone if ANYTHING bad happens to it *minus theft* and a case, which they also matched the price of another site on and since they didnt have any otter boxes)
All in all, i think Best Buy has the competition beat here, but i please IMPLORE others to post me a better deal....maybe then i can tell them to price match that and they can give me some of my $40 bucks back lol!

Well, it seems the Note 2 from T-Mobile's website is back-ordered. Does anyone know how long it generally takes for the new stocks to come in?

I got mine on contract. I thought that's what we were talking about. Calm down... The original person never specifically asked for either so I told them my deal. Can't get mad if you didn't specify!

Guys this guy and he sold me a bad imei number cellphone(note 2) last week in NewYork and it seems he has been doing this business on online forums and craigslist for a number of years.I regret being a victim but do not want you guys to be part of his cheating business.He gave me he box which has different imei than the actual imei number of the phone.This guy is a professional thief who is well educated but for the very wrong cause.He might change his id but his name is and do not deal with him.

I bought mine from a tmobile store owner for 650 cash. The owner had used it for one week and just likes to try all the phones out. Got a free 32gb Samsung card, case, battery and screen protector. Oh ya and some random car charger. Came with a bill of sale and IMEI number on it ^_^

Lol, scott that kinda sounds shady but i believe you. I just was not aware that any corp store could do that. Especially giving the accessories with it.
Kinda makes me wanna think twice about returning my phones next time. I do that alot...and by that, i mean like the guy, buy and try new phones quite a bit...at least, ones they don't end up sending me for free

It was a tmobile store but not an official one. It is called emobile in garden Grove ca. All I wanted was a legitimate bill of sale. I tried ten different people on Craigslist but no one would even give me a bill of sale.

Hey guys,
I'm buying a note 2 on craigslist, so I wanted to know what to check when buying it. Since, I'm going be using it in Canada I don't think it makes a differences if it's blacklisted... Just wanted to know if there's anything specific to check.
Check the bezel for dents, chips, and imperfections. Also check the buttons as a few had sheety home/vol/pwr, and of course the liquid damage indicator. Hope that helps and enjoy your Note !

I also bought mine off craigslist, 2 actually, the first one was factory sealed unopened. att version, paid 480 dollars.. called att and got a unlock code for free.., the second one was used but in great shape, t-mobile brand had box and all accessories for 500. no unlocking as I use t-mobile.
but be leary as some posted on there wanting to meet at an atm at night, that was awfully weird, so didn't follow through.. always meet where you have people, public place restaurant etc.. also be leary of the china copies that will look like the real thing study pics or go to your retailer and look under the batt at the sticker etc.. always test...
I would most definitely download speed test because ther are knock off siii and note ii that looks really good on the surface but can't fool the speed test

I bought a videotron (canadian t889v) one off craigslist also. Picked it up at his house. That way I can always hunt him down. Guy sold it to me for 350 $. Thought for sure he screwed up and it was going to be a note 1 but sure enough note 2 and working perfect.
PS. Cant you just unlock it yourself? There was some code you dial and are able to unlock it. Simple and free. Worked for mine.
Link for unlock. Only worked for me on stock.

I've been searching for one for a while now, but I can't find anything. Samsung told me I had to get one through Verizon, and Verizon said I have to get one through Sammy. Unless they aren't selling them anymore, someone has something backwards. Do you guys know where I can snag one up if they are still for sale?
When I called on Thursday they said they are no longer available. But someone stated they had 83 units left. I found one online used and just pulled the trigger.... Getting sick of my iphone.....
Bummer. I've been looking online for a while now, no such luck though.

Just went through the same thing. Samsung's help was just about worthless. I was continually told Samsung doesn't sell phones directly. Finally went through the business department. Because the phone was shown on their site but not available as of 8-7-15, the business rep first tried calling the warehouse to see if anyone knew if it would be available in the future. He got no definite answer. He was going to send an email to corporate and let me know when he received a reply. I was told it may take a week for an answer. The issue may be that because the Note 5 was soon coming they may not restock. My problem is that from I can see from Note 5 leaks, the phone may not have the features I want, ie. removable battery and sd card. Because I like my Note 4 and it has a verifiable good root for the developers edition, I was going in that direction. Two months ago, I had a chance to buy the de phone from Samsung. I was certain that the team at xda would get root and held off. Boy am I sorry for not buying when it was available. Well, we can only hope that our team here will get this working on our retail versions.
I'm looking at selling off my mint DE version since I'm leaving my Unlimited Verizon account. Is Swappa still a good way to get the most resale for now a "unicorn" like the VZ Note 4 DE? Was considering that or eBay, but worried about eBay hassles. I'll then pick up a T-Mobile Note 4 to put on Cricket.
Can I buy it?

Im waiting for my DE to be approved on Swappa ... its up for grabs, I love the note 4 and everything about it but I want something different. Im actually tired of roms and rooting. Mine is going to be expensive but its in perfect condition its ALWAYS been is a case and works beyond perfect and its hot commodity now. So if your serious then buy it.

I bought two of these and they arrived today. Seem legit.
EDIT: Wait a sec. This may not be "Unlocked" after all. It doesn't seem to be the right version. I have SMN910VZWE.
Unlocked GSM, not a developer edition. Equates the phone xapable of being used on Verizon or AT&T
