Sell it on eBay or Craigslist. This is not the right section to sell phones on xda and selling bad esn phones is not allowed here.
That being said you could still probably get a decent amount for it on eBay as these can be flashed to different CD a carriers. I bought a bad esn epic 4g touch and added it to my virgin mobile account.

Or how about you get the esn and call sprint to find out.. if is good then you can still sell it on xda to a dev and not to some idiot on ebay/craigslist who wont use it to its full potential

If it has been reported stolen, then only asurion would know whose it was. and their records are a mess. If it is just lost, then a Service center could easily figure out whose phone it is using the ESN and the phone number (found using ##786#).
If it has a bad ESN, then sell it. (they gave up looking for it) If it has a Good ESN then return it (someone is probably looking for it.)

I think you will enjoy it this Google thing may actually catch on one day... Also the persons name and phone number are right there within the about section of the phone. The phone may be lost or stolen but I am quite sure they still kept their number. Just text or call them... Problem solved...
Oh if you cant figure out where to look try using Google and bask in all its glory

Yeah i convinced him to call sprint. I know sure as hell would have. And yes karma does repay. I found iphone 3gs a long time ago. I called the guy and told him i had it and i would take it to him because i had time off. I took it to his office and the guy took his contacts and said "thank you so much for being honest, you can have the phone." It was a great day. I'd rather return it and get a fk you than keep it. Either way its up to him and ima kick his ass for making me post and then change his mind lol.

SGS III $149.99 for new customers!

For those looking to save some money - don't forget you can always pick up or add the Starbucks T-Mobile corp discount (even if you don't work for SBX) to your account. Call em up (current customers) and tell them you work for SBX; they really don't verify and I've had this discount for years (6+)!
tmobile.com/starbucks
They give you a -15% off your bill (pre-taxes) plus wave the activation fee and sell you the device for less than what you would pay through the regular tmo site.
Example

I know Ford, MaryKay and other corps have discounts with Tmo but those fluctuate from 10% - 15% off monthly fees.
Hope I could help someone save some cash :good:

They don't call. They just ask what SBX location you work at. Pick a SBX location on a map close to your billing zip and your golden. This has worked for many folks.

Too bad im on a family plan. Wasnt time for me to upgrade so i sold my s22 for 350 and paid 560 for a new Galaxy S3 (Good Price). So i ended up paying roughly 210 bucks. Not bad but not as good as this deal.

Well I'm on the phone with some lady and damn she wants my "work" phone then my "work" ID i guess they do verify.

The trick is, they'll send you the money. It'll say pending, and it MIGHT even clear.
As soon as you send the item and give them a tracking number, they'll do a "charge back" on the account and the money will disappear from your account. And PayPal's service is so ****ty. They'll always side with the buyer. (Probably BC that's the only way they can get a cut out of it.)
Surprised how many people DONT know about this scam. Don't get ripped man.

Couldn't you just transfer the money out of paypal before they can take it back?

I usually reply and ask which item, make them work a little bit.

Just got a Brand New GS3 for $.99 with ATT

AT&T has matched Sam's Galaxy S3 BF price of .96 and let me upgrade 2 weeks early. I can provide proof if you need it, I have the email confirmation.This totally beats waiting in those black friday lines. They also said that I can call back when i get my bill and they will remove the 36$ activation fee
I just called at&t and asked them if they could override the upgrade date to make it 2 weeks earlier to take advantage of sam's offer on black friday. But they said that they could not do it, but they could price match it. Now, I am getting the GS3 2 weeks before black friday at the black friday sam's club price without having to wait in those ridiculous lines!

Your posting this in the Sprint forum why?
Btw you can also order online at Sam's club the 21st-23rd for the .96 price.

Can non club members order online? If I decide to jump on this I may have to convince my neighbor to get up early and bring me to a Sam's Club. That might cost a breakfast of bloody marys.

I really hope we do. But why are we last? I remember last year the S3 got the JB update from t mobile really quickly. I was on MetroPCS at the time (i know it sucks, but i needed unlimited everything).

I disagree here. I had an HTC thunderbolt before the S4 and it took them forever to get 4.0 eventhough every similar phone already had it on other carriers.

With all the custom ROMs out, really? A *lack* of an update is reason to switch carriers?
Obviously, I'm not putting enough weight on my ROM when picking a carrier.
