Newegg has Unlocked Galaxy Nexus for $699 with coupons and cashback opportunities

Newegg has the Unlocked GSM Galaxy nexus for $699, brand new:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...tion&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-cables-_-na-_-na
You can get 2.6% cashback from ebates.com
Then you can get whatever cashback from the credit card you use (for me, its 1.25% from american express, who also doubles the mfg warranty for a year)
If you bought the Google offers for Newegg, itd be another $40 off ($20 for $40 off newegg)
Newegg also has $10 off $50 "new" customers:
http://promotions.newegg.com/nepro/newcustomer050611/index.html
So, for me:
$699 - $40 coupon - $10 promo code = $650 - 2.6% ($17) - 1.25% ($8) = $625 + $20 for the cost of the $40 coupon = $645, cheapest I've seen for a brand new Galaxy Nexus with free 2-day shipping from shoprunner, free regular ground shipping if you dont have shoprunner.

Wow, that is a good find. It is too bad they did not have it last week when i ordered my phone somewhere else.

haha yeah that's funny. no idea where that came from.

Bought it 12/02/2011... got it refunded to 699.99 so I couldnt use coupons to get it lower i still will use charlie's saying "WINNING!"

Is the phone worth getting at $650 or are we better off waiting 1 month and getting it for $600.

seriously though, who'd want to dish out that much just for 16GB?...
unless you have a serious hard on for Samsung or unlimited data & all your media is in "the cloud" you'd be insane to spend that kind of money.
of course, this is coming from the guy who spent $800 on a comic book(Incredible Hulk #181)

I'm waiting until it drops down to 550.00. Right now you are paying a premium to be one of the first to have the phone.

I really want to try out the nexus but its hard for me to give up my motorola atrix 2 since I paid pretty much $340 for it brand new and thats including brand new HD dock, car dock, battery dock, 6 extra batteries, atrix 1 laptop dock, motorola extended battery.
So for over half the cost of the nexus, I bought a fully loaded motorola atrix 2 with all the trimmings.

Well, I personally dislike Samsung and AMOLED, but almost every review out there deems this the best Android phone, if not, the best smartphone out.
I do have unlimited data and all my music is on Google Music, so any space on the phone will be for movies or game downloads.

650 isnt bad, i couldnt wait so i ended up ordering it on ebay for 730, too bad it wasnt in stock at new egg at the time.

also, don't forget that this phone will not have any manufacturer warranty, unlike if you bought it from expansys or negri. I rather have the peace of mind, that's why I bought it from expansys.

where did you get this information?

Newegg has now soldout. That was fast right?
If you use bigcrumbs.com to shop newegg it says you can get up to 4.8% cashback. But if you go to terms it says 4.8% cashback apply for marketplace items only. Is galaxy nexus under the marketplace category?

Too bad, already got mine from handtec and got it today, $690. I wonder which build they are selling.

How much can I get for my SG3

its from At&t , garnet red , 16 gb , it has a cracked screen. I am thinking about ordering the screen from ebay. The phone still works great.
How much can I get for it like this , and how much if I replace the screen?

A replacement screen will run you around $200.00. If you are patient enough you could try to replace just the glass which is around $20.00 and then sell it. If you want to sell it with the broken screen. You could get around $150.00.

$150??!?! that's crazy. that's half the price of an ipod touch, and a buddy of mine sold his iphone 4 for $300 recently... for a big crack i'd say $250-$300, for a minor crack i'd say $350

People can ask whatever they want for a damage phone. The thing is getting someone stupid enough to buy it. I paid $350.00 for my white gs3 in the box with all sealed accessories and a sgp case. Not a single scratch all around.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2

That's a good deal , I did the upgrade on Oct 1st. Picked up the Galaxy s3 for $150. Sold mg old broken EVO 4g for $40. Got an iPhone 4 26gb mint condition with box and accessories + 140 for the galaxy s3. Sold the iPhone for $250. And got a brand spanking new LTR for $270. So after all that crazy **** I managed to get an LTE for free. I'd say it was worth every call I made and every mile I traveled. And I did it all in one day. Found a buyer for the galaxy , then a buyer for the iPhone and then an LTE for sale.

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.

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 want to buy my first android phone is $230 a good price in almost new condition. Should i wait for a lower price or on this or Galaxy nexus

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?

The title says it all. Where do you go to buy android phones now that the marketplace was shut down?
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.

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

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.

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..
