Refurbished lapdock questions

Has anyone received their refurbished lapdock yet? Can you tell it is a refurb? What accessories did it come with (headphones, cords, etc.)?
I want to get one but want to know about what's in the box first.

I received mine. It looks brand new and came with the power supply and a pouch for said power supply. That's it. I don't think the retail version comes with anything else either.

As far as I can tell the only difference is the refurbs come in an AT&T refurb box. I would guess a new one would be in a motor box. But I could be wrong.
My refurb one works great, I love it!!

I got one, but it had a dead pixel on it. I went to an AT&T store and they let me exchange for another refurb.

Add another "mine looks brand new". Came in an ATT box, with all the plastic wrapped bits in place and the plastic on the screen. Just the dock, power supply, and pouch for power supply.

how much did you guys pay for these refurbished laptop docks?

175. From AT&T's website. Great deal compared to $500 and a tethering plan

Got mine for 140. Got lucky with a coupon

175 should have been the original price. cant complain i paid 250 for mine brand new.

Thats a pretty amazing price. Is the coupon still usable?

No, it was like a 10 or 20% off one but the lapdock was not suppose to work for it. Just a glitch on the website. Only lasted like 3 days. I was just lucky and caught a thread on it in the accessory section.

Yet another one with "looks like brand new", except it came with at&t refurbished box instead of original motorola. power adapter and a pouch for that adapter are the only accessories. Only bad thing about it is, no scrolling on touchpad (I would be fine with side area scroll instead of multi touch) but that's not related to the laptop being refurbished.

$140 is just delectable enough for me to jump on it, anything higher no dice. Hopefully one day it will be that way. I wish the phone was a little bit more popular and their would be an alternate maker to produce a cheaper dock, oh well.

Well I ordered mine today and now it's on the way. I can't complain at $175, and I figure I can just ebay it for at least that if I hate it.
Thanks everyone for your help!

It's great, you won't regret it.

Just chatted with Cust support. I get a 35% discount on accessories. She said that if I placed the order $176, called premier cust service and asked that my discount be applied, I would recieve my discount $61.6 and get the dock ofr 114.4!!! I'm going to have to go in at that price.!!!

I got mine for $143 also with some coupon code. Had a scratch on the top lid, but otherwise it's pretty much perfect. Scratch could've come from the shipping US->EU too, not quite sure. Either way, it's worth that price

buy it or not?

im buying the phone for 150 bucks (used), i really want an android phone, so, do you think its a good offer?

That's a bit overpriced for the Incredible; I found better prices on Swappa, for instance:

Agreed 150 is a bit pricey for an almost 2 year old phone.

Agreed. If you're on a tight budget, it's one of the better cheap android phones on Verizon.

HTC Incredible sells used for $59.99 on Cowboom. It's a respectable company, a subsidy of Best Buy, and returns have free shipping. Condition of the phone varies, but you'll find everything from brand-new to well-used, with new stock coming in every day. I'm not allowed to post links, so please Google it yourself.

Yeah $150 is too much. Maybe for the DINC 2...

That is pricey.
I was going to list two for 70 bucks a piece and thought even that might be pricey.

Check out Ebay if you're looking for a used device. I did a quick search and found many under the $150 price point you're considering.
Just one of many example. www [dot] ebay [dot]com/itm/HTC-Droid-Incredible-8GB-Black-Verizon-Smartphone-/300663182092?pt=Cell_Phones&hash=item4600ec130c#ht_632wt_1139
Buy It Now Price: $99
Bidding Price: $49
I definitely wouldn't take that deal. But, I would certainly get a Dinc, I got mine when it first came out and have been loving it everyday since. I was thinking of moving to a G.Nexus but recently flashed a ICS ROM so I don't expect to make a switch anytime soon

Pre-orders, who has put one in then?

Having been flitting between the One S (for the smaller size) and the One X for the potential hardware benefits I decided to just go with the device I most wanted and plumped for the One X, for me the size is really the only thing that made me think twice as I ride motorcycles for a living, am out on the road a lot reviewing kit and a whopping device is a bit of a PITA in leathers.
How many of you have taken the plunge with a preorder and how many of you went through the same decision making process as me then?

We've already got one of these: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1558246
But yes, I've pre-ordered and no, I didn't follow that decision making process (the bigger the better as far as I'm concerned).

I didnt see another thread about the same thing, nonetheless I am interested to hear if peoples buying decisions were anything similar. Having stuck (happily) with my original desire for 2 years the leap to such a massive device is, well, a leap.

Agreed, but id put the limit at about 5 inches. Anything more and id feel like im talking on a tablet.

I've just cancelled my preorder with amazon UK.
& preordered with carphone warehouse.
£10 cheaper
Fast delivery, should be launch day (amazon was free super saver delivery which could be 3-5 days)
Basically, the £10 saving has paid for my HTC screen protectors & micro sim card cutter & fast delivery is the bonus.

Yes pre ordered, currently love my SGS2 but I like new toys to play with been saving up for a new phone I know the SGS3 is due soon (will see how that fairs after I've got my HTC).
I'm use to 4.3" can't go smaller, I love the Galaxy Note so think the size of the One X shouldn't be an issue.

Ok I bit the bullet and placed my order with Carphone warehouse! 9 days and counting (hopefully!)

still considering. if fafsa continues my college loans I will sell my galaxy s2 for half the money, but if not, I'm selling my car and my phone. I wont need a phone at all.

I signed up for a new contract with Orange from the Carphone Warehouse...
Didn't heard anything about being accepted so I emailed them and they confirmed I've been successful with Orange
Yaaaay, I can't wait!
I'm hoping it's delivered on release day! 5th April?
I hate Yodel though, why oh why does anyone use yodel to deliver parcels!?!?!?!

VERY bad experience with them.
I ordered a Limited Edition Zelda 3DS from thehut dot com and I paid for next day delivery...
Nothing came next day, so the day after that I phoned them up, they'd lost the parcel... Then they'd found it and it was due to be delivered the next day...
Then their tracking system said that at 14:53 the parcel was handed to the courier driver, then at 14:53 it was in transit, then apparently I signed for it at my house at 14:53... ALL THE SAME DAY!!!
Then a week later a woman knocked on my door and hands me the parcel, they'd delivered it to the wrong address, the other side of the city I live in.
They failed to tell me that I'd (apparently) signed for it, then that they'd lost it.
I think yodel are Crap.

Ordered mine from clove this afternoon. £500 including vat and next day delivery. Now for the cases and Sim card cutter!

Buyer beware fake 32gb microsd from ebay!

I just received a fake 32gb microsd card from the ebay seller called artmandaniel. I am so stupid , after I wrote all the files on the card I thought
it is genuine and gave him good feedback. However when I checked the contents of the card I noticed that everything after 230 megs was not there. I paid 12$ for it
Here is the picture:
UPDATE:
I wrote the seller this message:
"You sent me fake card , it is 256mb and not 32gb as advertised"
And I got this response:
"I am so sorry I can give you a refund, I bought it for cheep off here to resale, let me figure out how to refund and i will get your money back as soon as possible.
Agin i am truly sorry
Daniel"
I checked my paypal account and he indeed has transferred 12$ back.

You should've used common sense and not have bought something with such a low price tag.
Remember that you can revise eBay feedback, just google it

Good to know. I've stuck with buying from online retailers as I've dealt with them for years now and the price is pretty decent. Better than walking into a store any day.
I've seen this technique used with harddrives but haven't seen it with flash memory yet.

Yup, eBay sellers, espexially from Hong Kong and China are very friendly.

eBay needs to control listings like these of "fake" merchandise.

the issue is how can they control the fake listings? there are some legit bargains on eBay. if you have any issue like this in the future and the seller won't give you your money back, you can open a case in the Resolution Centre.

So then he may be trusted ?

It's not the fault of the ebay resellers that this happens. It's the suppliers who fool the resellers into buying the stock. They have no way of testing all of that and assume it is legitimate and resell it to you. By which you find out eventually: "oh shoot: it's a fake". I'm sure there are some bad eggs that knowingly sell the fake stuff to you, but most of the time both parties are duped here.
It's also a reason why you never buy flash drives/cards off Ebay: always go through a recognized supplier as they pay extra to ensure this doesn't happen.

Where to buy used android phones?

Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2

craigslist, ebay?

I have sold used phones on craigslist and ebay. Amazon has some refurbs too but not many Sprint.

Most of them end up on Craigslist or eBay anyway. Ebay if you don't want to meet the seller in some dark alley, Craigslist if you don't want to pay and wait for shipping.

Bummer I feel like the marketplace had the best deals

Where to buy used android phones
This 4.7 Inch S4 Smartphone Android 4.2 13.0MP Camera is a very nice phone and it arrived super fast. It worked right out of the box with my T-Mobile sim card. It is the equivalent to the Galaxy S3 international version so it's a little different but it works well. The only thing is the screen is VERY fragile and a drop from a few inches without a case will crack and spread across whole screen. Phone still works with cracked screen, but it sometimes now will shut off when it has a full charge. It's the equivalent to the Galaxy S3 however cases don't fit bought from eBay, they are too tight and hole for volume control was on opposite side on the case than on the phone.
