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

what about meeting the seller at a tmobile store and having tmobile activate it right there and there could they block it after wards?

Here's the link to an earlier thread ... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957825

+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

That doesnt make sense to me. Why would people pay more than the retail price for a used phone? People on ebay are crazy

U didnt mention its 64gb lol. Tought it was 16

I do agree that some people do crazy things on ebay especially.
I have seen crazy seller too. As in listing for used s3 starting at
899.00
But to each is his own.
I got my note2 on ebay for 435.00 includ shipping.
But I had to hunt for it almost 6 month.

I got my note 2 for tmobile from wirefly. com for 300 but had to sign a new contract

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..

$100 off OGPro

http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...0-off-optimus-gs-now-100-and-50-respectively/
And I thought I had a plan. Hoping for a slightly more pocket-friendly Optimus G2, I planned to wait, and buy a discounted OGPro if I didn't like the G2. (must have replaceable battery, expandable storage and wireless charging) Now what?
Maybe G2 comes out sooner? Anyone else awaiting Optimus G2?

What, nobody just paid the extra $100 yesterday and is pissed?

Actually quite happy you posted this deal!!! Thank you!!!!
Was going to trade in my iPhone and get the $100 rebate, bringing the cost down to $99.00 . Now I don't have to, and I can sell it privately (or just use it as an iPod Touch).
I wonder why the rapid price drop! This phone just hit AT&T's shelves about a month ago.

I just came back from the att store and got the price matched. ...saved $100. ...wohooo.. ...came to the forum to post but looks like you beat me to it ... anyone having purchased in the past 14 days can get it price matched. ...maybe the drop is in anticipation of note 3 ....anyway. ..all I care is I saved the green and its a fantastic device for 100.

14 days, eh? My daughter bought her ogpro on May 16. I know she's upset...

Ok on Tuesday I placed my order (upgraded 2 lines, one from a GNote 2 to the OG Pro) the girl gave me a $25 discount..so I got the phone for 175...which I thought was a good deal.
I saw this today, called ATT and they just gave me a $100 credit on my account because they changed the price.
Knock ATT all you want, but they are taking good care of me.

I paid retail. I wonder if they'll price match.

$275 for my Note II from Tmobile

I was just at a Tmobile store and they offered me $275 to trade in my Note II. Is this new $275 is pretty close to what l would sell it for on CL. Just thought I'd Pass this into along to anyone who might be interested.

I just picked up a really clean rooted one off swappa for 325. That doesn't sound THAT far off, unfortunately...

TMobile is taking trade ins straight up now? Even with out jump program?

Yep, I specifically asked if there were any restrictions or stipulations. There were none, I didn't even need to buy a phone.

sold one on ebay a week ago for little over $400, after fees+ ship I net around $350
$275 isn't bad if you don't want to go through the trouble

Listed mine on craiglist 2 days ago for $425. No one interested, then i lowered down to 400$ , still got no calls or texts. Today, I lowered down to $375, finally got someone offered $325. I sold it to him. If this WAs an iphone 5, its probably been sold the 1st day.

[Q] Best Buy Showing Note 4 Verizon version as $349 today.

I've been looking at the pre-order page on BB to see if the Verizon version was available to pre-order online. Last night the price showed as $299 on contract and not yet available. Today it shows $349 on contract and not yet available. Did they up the price or is this just an error?
Wont let me post a link to it...

crap that isnt good. i was hoping $699 for off contract. crap time to sell more stuff!
still $699 at verizon! yay

Hopefully that is not the price in store as well.
Its still cheaper than verizon considering that they will accept my htc rezound as a trade in phone while verizonwireless will not.
Just hope I get some one who knows how to transfer an upgrade from one phone number to another.

When I pre ordered in store it was 299 better be that when I go to pick it up or there getting a ear full

fyi from what they told me, pre-ordering the phone doesn't mean locking in the price. if the price changed you're responsible for the new price. that's what they told me in store anyway

According to the website, the ATT and Verizon Note 4 variants are listed as $299, the Sprint Note 4 variants are listed as $349. I think its safe to say that our Note 4s are still the same price.

I'll wait until it is cheaper off contract than $700. Can't afford **** that expensive

The Verizon price has been changed back to $299 as it was originally. Part of this past week it was at $349 on the BB website.

What worst is that no more pre order for Verizon note 4 from BestBuy. I went to BB today and their system can't do pre order for Verizon N4 and so is the website, however, you still can preorder note4 with AT&T...

Maybe it's an error in their system?
Up to this day you have not been able to preorder via best buys website.

I preordered my Verizon note 4 (white) last Friday and my wife preordered her Verizon note 4 (also white) yesterday (Monday) without any issues. The phone is $299, $100 after trading in ANY working smart phone that isn't damaged (cracked screen, turns on, no water damage). There is NO minimum trade in value required unlike the Samsung promotion ($10 minimum value). They make you buy a $50 gift card as a "place holder" for the phone, you have 48 hours to pick up the phone after it arrives otherwise they will sell it to someone else. All gift cards purchased (the $50 place holder) and the $200 one you receive for trading in a phone, can all be used toward the purchase of the phone immediately.
I have spoke to the store manager, customer service, the Verizon and Samsung reps at the store. The customer service rep did say you need to bring in the charger for it, the others did not say that. I'm going to bring mine in either way. I also took their names down in case they try to pull a fast one. I suggest anyone else does the same so there are no surprises when the phone arrives.
Good luck

I'll put chargers in my car, but I'm not bringing them in unless they make noise about it. My store just said charged working phones without water or cracked screen damage.

What the hell is up with Best Buy preorders?

SO I canceled my Verizon pre order to do it through best buy (felt more reliable with $200 gift card, not waiting for a mail in rebate which never comes), and they dont seem to be available. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/promo/samsung-galaxy-note-4-128435
I was in store on Saturday to pre order, and they just said it wasnt available. The Samsung "Experience Coordinator" (or whatever it is), had no explanation, was really pissed off, and just offered to text me when they become available to preorder. Anyone know whats going on?

Hearing Sold Out @BB!

Wow, I was able to pre-order mine for Verizon on Thursday, this past week.

I've been waiting for them to open the pre orders on their website because I don't live near a bb but I would be willing to drive to pick it up to save $200. If I can't order it through bb I'm gonna be pissed. I really don't want to deal with uploading the receipts and all that crap for the other promo. If I have to I will, but I would much rather deal with bb. I am pre ordering by the end of the week no matter what weither it's from bb or verizon.

When I preordered the Sprint one there was issues with their site and store connections. I had to go back 2 days later to put it in. At that time there was a message flashing across the screen that the Verizon preorders could not be taken yet. Just keep calling until they are up, you have until the 16th to preorder.

I was in there Saturday also and was told all they had left to pre-order was white. When I got home and looked online even white was gone. Bummer because the employee told me that the tradein program was very lax and that they would accept pretty much any phone as long as it turned on and didn't have water damage/major cracks.

i went in to a bb to check out the note 4 as well. Phone is sick! but i asked the same about pricing and ordering and they didnt have a clue on both! I was like really!??

Wife and I went to 3 Best Buy's yesterday to preorder for Verizon, 1st said only White was available, so I hesitated due to wanting black, so we drove to the next BB where they said preorders at their store sold out on Saturday, drove to the next BB and was told ALL BB Verizon preorders were shutdown Friday night due to being oversold. Was told this by both BB employees and Samsung Mobile employees at all 3 stores. Was really pissed because the preorder hasnt even began on BB website for Verizon - has always said Coming Soon.
Ended up preodering at Costco - 1 black and 1 white.

I know the phone is much higher through best than what saw at Verizon. The AT&T version is $825 and the Verizon version is $699.99.

Can you forward that link. Mine just showed $749.

I think it depends on the color - black is listed at $692 and white at $749

That's what I saw also. I preordered the white from Verizon for $699.

I had the same experience... not able to Pre-Order online so I went into my local store. They said pre-orders were sold out as well. I called the Best Buy Mobile store and was surprised to hear him say they could pre-order black or white still. Ran up.. pre-ordered the phone!

Apparently BB allocations for the N4 are tapped out. Verizon obviously got the lion share of allocations.
Anybody thinking they will get the offer for full price sales are dreaming even more now.

The $200 deal is from Samsung so that stills good, just that Bestbuy is sold out with their limits so you can't pre order from them any more, but you could get N4 from Amazon or Verizon.

Well in our mall Best Buy Mobile is like a very small mini store. Also have been reading reports that this promotion will jot work unless you do 2 yr contract or edge plan... However I clearly asked and made sure that I could purchase the Note 4 at full retail and receive the $200 trade in value on my Motorola Droid X.
Employee said that it says clearly when activation 2 year contracts when they do promotions like this but this promotion had none of that wording. Simply towards any "purchase". Got it all in writing and had them sign it so I would have a "leg to stand on" if for some reason that went against what they were telling me.
BTW they said they had several in both black and white they could still pre order and their store hadn't reached they're limit
