How to sell my S3 to Get GN2?

I'm looking for the best way to sell my GS3 to get the GN2. I want to only spend like $200 max. S3 is 2 month old, and i have 1 extended battery and 2 additional regular batteries + OEM. Phone is in perfect condition. I see them going on ebay for $350, and i see the Note 2 going for $650. anyway i can reduce that price difference.

You could probably sell for about 400-500 if you throw in everything.

I sold my old atrix 4g on Amazon. I setup an Amazon Seller account. I got a pretty good price for it.

EBay dude. Price it at wherever you want and be patient.

Oh and if you haven't unlocked it yet, you should get it unlocked. Ask for the unlock code from ATT. Unlocked phone have a higher value.

Look at Swappa. I sold my AT&T Galaxy SII (SGH-i777) for $240 there. It was sold in about 3 days.

I checked best buy for you and out phone is roughly $260 in excellent condition.
Amazing how fast the price on these dropped.even the eBay process are down. I think the sgs3 has some of the best specs on the market even by today's standards

Is the screen scratch free? I find this is the most important thing in a used phone.
Take a lot of pictures and put the extra battery in the sale. Get it unlocked ($25, I think) and put it on eBay.
I just looked and didn't see a used S3 going for less than $360 and the auctions weren't over.

Sold my Slll by itself within a couple hours for$420 minus $30 or something to Amazon commission. Only thing about doing that is the wait to get your money from Amazon which is about two weeks or so.

I've had great luck selling devices on XDA's marketplace. Best part about it is there are no fees!
I'd try here first: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=476

Alright, Thank you everyone for the quick replies. I took one of your advices and I'm posting it on Swappa and trying my luck.
Screen has 2 hair line scratches each are an inch long or less. and they are legit hairline. so dont disturb the output, and you can only see them at a certain angle when the screen is off and cleaned. I've had moshi and militray shield screen protectors on it up untill last month. (took it off after halloween night.

PS: I listed for $450. with 2x hyper ion batteries, 1x extended battery, extended battery cover, and Unused and untested brand new samsung headphones that came with it. (i own bose, so i never opened those oem ones).

Craigslist and sell local only (no shipping) and cash only.
Ebay and Amazon are terrible IMO.

I'd wait for Google to iron out the problems with N4 before getting it.

There is no Galaxy Nexus 2. Nexus 4 is out. Google doesn't advertise it as LTE device but you do some settings and it gets LTE signal.

Note 2 at Best Buy

Just wanted to let you guys know most of the BB stores in my area had the phone in stock as of yesterday while none of the AT&T stores had any inventory.
They price matched Amazon wireless' price of $249 which is always nice. Also another advantage to some is that you can purchase a protection plan for $10 month, which is a lot easier to deal with than the carriers' 3rd party insurance providers.
YMMV on the price match but there's no real reason they wouldn't. Good luck guys!

Nice find as I did the same myself. They only had it in white where I went. They will price match it. There website says so. For new customers who want a white one, amazon is selling it for $174.99. Bb will honor that as well.

Nice! Which reminds me, unlike the AT&T store if the price drops even more within the 30 day return window (probably will with Christmas around the corner) I can take my receipt back to BB for another price match and get real money back, instead of credit towards a future bill (how AT&T handles price adjustments).

If I'm not sure AT&T changed the return policy to 15 days not 30. Just about amonth or so ago..But if BB is honoring that great deal there.

I just got the Note 2 today as an upgrade for $174.99 with Amazon Wireless price match. The White one goes for $174.99 while the Titanium Grey goes for $249.00 for a new line only.
Shocked that I got the adding a new line discount price instead of the higher upgrading a line price.
I went to the store when it was very busy and the employees were somewhat overwhelmed.
I will use the savings to buy the smart dock or the Otterbox.

I went to Best Buy when Amazon had it on for $174.99 and they wouldn't price match it for me, they said because it was on backorder through Amazon. So I went to AT&T and they had no problems price matching it even though it was on BO. I gave them my IPhone 4S got $207 for trade in and got the Note 2 for $174.99 and $21.00 credit with AT&T lol.

Did you do an upgrade at AT&T? or new line?

I got an early upgrade from AT&T so I never really thought of trying to price match as they shipped me the phone. I sold my Iphone 4 for $200 on craigslist . So, I ended up only paying $100. I really wish I Got the white one though, my GF has a white GS3 and didn't want to seem....feminine. But, after having my grey one, I wouldn't mind it.

Fair price for this phone?

What would you guys consider a fair price for this phone on Craig's list? The prices in my area are all over the place. On ebay they are selling for 350 brand new with a one year warranty. Mine is a brand new warranty replacement. I'm going to play the waiting game and try for a nexus 4. Also I paid 350 for this phone a year ago through a hookup.

I paid 250$ on craiglist. The guy said he Bought it for 380$. The phone was practically new. So i guess I was just lucky lol. If I sell it it would be 250$ like I bought it. But I see some ppl selling it at 280$-300$. And in bad conditions.
sent from Land Of Ooo.

I paid $185 for mine, phones are a hobby to me I still don't think its "worth" that much though, just go 10 bucks below everyone so someone buys yours, you gotta think how often do people have 250 to spend on a phone

Put on ebay for Buy it Now 300.. Start bids at 149.99

Yeah its a good and expensive phone. Beginning prices start at 300 and end at 500. Its only 50$ less than the Galaxy S3 from T-Mobile without a contract, being 500$. My S3 was 550$

Florida Craigslist w**re checking it. I've seen them for average $185-$200 in "good" condition.
Russian smashed across the interwebz from my T-Mobile Galaxy S2. Please hit thanks if I helped.

With Koodo I managed to get this phone brand new for $300 outright
If it's in good shape you should be able to get at the very minimum $200, but I would say $250 is fair.
Sent from my A500 using xda premium

Considering you can buy them new for $300 out of contract at walmart I'd say $250 max in like new condition.

just to let you guys know I listed my phone for $280 on CL and sold for $300 ,two guys that offered me that amount. It might just have been the timing because both were going to be gifts also the phone was flawless as well. I'm gonna miss this phone it was good as hell to me. Now I wait till the nexus 4 become available again, I heard it might February oh well, I cat wait and will be using my Vibrant till then.

That was a quick sell. And yeah, man Google didn't do too well with the Nexus 4 release. I was contemplating getting one, but the whole releasing in batches seems like it would be a pain to get one. Either way, I still wouldn't mind one, but we will see what the next few months bring in terms of new nexus devices

This. Although I might start the bidding lower to get more people to look at it and follow at the beginning of the listing. Also, set the end date for a time when people have the opportunity to look and spend time bidding up the item, such as on a Sunday afternoon when people have nothing better to do (i.e. not 4am, keep in mind time zone differences as well).

Get it unlocked, and sell it on ebay. eBay is your best best. I was getting offers on mine for $200 all day on Craigslist. I ended up trading mine for a white S2 with a bad power button plus $150 .

I've been in the same situation as you, deciding between sticking with a T989 or switching to a G Nexus. In my opinion and after some research, aside from the obvious amount of dev support you get with the G Nex and a 720p display, there's nothing much that would justify that spending money to switch is worth it.
As for day to day use, you will definitely not notice any difference performance wise between these two particular devices. Might as well just wait for the GS3 to become cheaper, at least that has features worth upgrading to and about the same amount of dev support.

I paid 200 for mine

Where to buy used android phones?

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.

Cheapest place to buy a GNOTE2

What is the cheapest anyone has gotten the Note2 for and , where could i find it for the cheapest price?
mods* if this doesnt belong here please just move it, or if its already been asked please link me to that thread

For me, Craigslist or Ebay.. But Craigslist is really really.. It's 50/50. I would rather pay more and just buy at a retail store or someyhing. So many people getting their phone's IMEI blocked after buying from CL and stuff. Try Swappa

+1 for swappa. I bought a TMobile 7.0+ and an i717 off there with no issues. I'm looking for a white collar collar job this fall when I finish working beach volleyball and I'll probably be buying a Note 2 off there.

I've bought a couple on local craigslist for $400 in like new condition. They do pop up from time to time. It seems the going rate in the Ventura area is $475. I stumbled across a Verizon one for $350. It had chewed up chrome bezel and battery door. I spent $25 on replacing them and got $500 for it. So don't be afraid of body damage as long as the glass is in good shape.

been looking and have found some a lil bit lower.. im actually looking at two right now
1st) is a Sprint Gnote2 already flashed to pageplus ( which is what i would do with it if i get it anyways) for $220
2nd) is Tmobile Gnote 2 clean imei for $300
cant decide
one hand one is cheaper and pageplus works off verizon towers which would give me good reception wherever i am but fastest data speed is 2mb down .. pageplus plan for $70 with 5gb data is the plan i would get on this...
the tmobile is more expensive , i would get the $70 plan have unlimited data but some complain about call quality and coverage and i use phone for work so not sure... tmobile data would obviously be alot faster and you could talk and surf and the same time which is not a requirement but a plus..
still trying to decide ...aaarrggghhh

Check Amazon every once in a while for deals through personal sellers. For ex. I got a brand new unopened and unlocked iPhone 5 for $480 shipped about 3 months after release just because of how cheap it was.. Used it for 3weeks or so and turned around and still sold it for 788 on ebay

Anything on Craigslist/ Ebay/ Amazon for really cheap- Less than $400 or so, I would consider suspicious. Especially the ones that look really new. Some people claim on insurance and the one they are selling you is the one they probably got off of insurance by ripping someone else off. Ebay is a little better because they have buyer protection- but still, it's only 30 days and the original owner can report lost/stolen, claim insurance after 30 day period.
Bought a Note 2 for $500 brand new and a week later, got it blocked.
I have heard that if you meet with the seller at a Tmobile store, they'll be able to switch over the IMEI- but make sure it's not on a payment plan or you'll be screwed even if you switch over the IMEI..
