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.

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.

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.

Could someone please post a picture of their NFC contacts on the phone....not the nubs an the battery cover. On mine the one on the bottom appears to be missing and looks different then the top one? Plus when I try to NFC file to SGSIII it doesnt work and I know nfc works on sIII. I need to get this resolved before my 14 days are up so I can get an exchange.

That one is gonna be hard to convince them to replace ....good luck...if all else fails u can just order a new sim try assembly........ this might help u https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UT-2zrZ_aNo&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Excellent video there! Good stuff.
Well the phone call didn't go well they wanted me to let them charge my card $299 until they got my phone...didn't budge and manager so say got disconnected and was going to call right back. Called local corp store they said bring it in and they would replace it.
I brought it in and now my NFC works! Everything else seems fine as well so far!
Now 6 hrs later and manager still hadn't called back. I will call and make a formal complaint tomorrow. Heads are gonna roll!
I am less than my 14 day return so I could have just returmed it and then got a new one. Noy so sure whats so hard about sending a replacement for the defective one they sent me.

Yup it was. To be honest it looks like it was never soldered on if you look at it closely. I am pretty sure it was a manufacturing defect. I know 100% sure I didnt touch or break it. In fact I hardly ever took the back off except to add sd card. The only reason I checked the contacts was because NFC wasnt working.

No they have not... The Tmobile S4 forum you posted your question in, is only here as a test run when the real thing is released. Stay posted, we're hoping for a December release!
As you might have been able to tell, yes. Some stores started getting stock on the 8th, all stores hopefully by the 15th according to T-Mobile.

Bro , we dont do personal attacks like that here in xda. Pulling my mom in middle of conversation is not acceptable for me.
To put us BACK ON TOPIC: T-Mobile started taking pre-orders late April, those orders were and are continuing to be fulfilled starting early May. The original street release date for the majority of T-Mobile corporate stores was to be May 5th, however, I went in on this day to get my grubby hands on one, none in stock. Informed at that time that it was to be May 15th that the phone was to be released, got to play with the display model to sate my desire to have one, got declined for the OAC, so my down payment will be larger, preventing me from obtaining the device anytime soon.
Questions been answered. Thread closed before it gets anymore more crazy.
