Price drop!

'allo fellow xda heads. i'm not sure of the specifics on it but at the mall they are selling this phone for a mere 149.99 just thought id let you guys know

meh.
I took the day off of work. That day would have been overtime. Plus I put $50 on a giftcard at sprint just in case my BestBuy connection didn't pan out.
All-in-all it cost me $350 or so for a $700 phone that I paid (-$150) for at BestBuy.
$50 really doesn't phase me.

i bought at retail, I wonder did the retail price drop to 449

I got mine via wirefly. Was on sale for $149, and used Bank of America's Add It Up rewards program to get another $50 off. $99 for this phone, I can live with

At letstalk you could have this phone for as low as 79.99

I got mine preordered at wirefly on sept. 7th for 124.99 with overnight shipping. Walmart selling them for 99.99 with new contracts. BOA discounts at wirefly get them for under a hundred. Because Sprint allowed this phone to go into a third party retailers frenzy with now premier or general preorders, we've seen intense pricing competition weeks before it's official release, yet alone now.

Sams club it was $193 out the door including CA sales tax. They found a loophole so they didnt charge tax on the whole phone price, just the subsidized price.

You're obviously jealous, nothing wrong if someone enjoys working at Radio Shack and that's a damn good price for the plan.

Where Can I find a Galaxy SIII for cheap?

I need to find a place where I can find the SIII the cheapest one with a contract and another without a contract.

Called AT&T, told them I had read about people recently getting the S3 from them for $99 but they were at $199. Would they offer any deals/price matching. Said she could not but gave me a $70 credit towards my "purchase", which actually came off of last months bill. Went to Sam's and bought the phone for $148, 6% sales tax brought me to ~$157. All said and done, this made my purchase, on contract, be $87.
Off contract - would try Ebay, craigslist, or swappa.

off contract price new is lowest at AT&T $549 plus tax.
Used on craigs list will be around $400

Not true, I bought my brand new white GS3 a couple of months ago from ebay for $475 with $10 shipping. You just have to keep an eye out on "Buy it now" newly listed items. I find that people that list with buy it now tend to just want to get quick cash, and don't care about getting top dollar. Always make sure you check out their feedback and always deal through PayPal.
Some list the buy it now listings with best offer options for lower prices too. Just stay away from the auctions.

I'm in a really tight spot, my sister pre-order the iphone 5 at radio shack and they made her purchase a gift card for $50, to buy the iphone 5 when its in store. Now I'm thinking of her getting the SIII. However, I don't want to her to pay for $200 for an SIII when I know radio shack had it for $100 not too long ago. Do you think I should just make her buy the iphone 5?

Amazon wireless for the contract one. And swappa for the off contract one.

Due to the 30 day price guarantee I recieved $50 back no questions asked (show reciept of course).
Big thanks to OP for putting $50 back in my pocket. I probably would have not seen the one day price until too late otherwise.

Makes me want to open another account so I can get one for my daughter. Her Birthday was yesterday. She probably would be the only 6 year old with an S3 lol.

Just a FYI i saw a ad leak for sprint stores selling gs3 at 50 bucks on contract only on black friday
http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/27/sprint-black-friday-ad-galaxy-s-iii-sale/

Picked one up for the wife today. Im not camping out at the Sprint store on BF. They will probably only have 10 in stock and the store will be a mess.

The nice people at my local bb let me get the deal last night... Been an HTC nerd for way too long. Was time for something new

Thanks to the Best Buy buyback plan, I just swapped my son's 4g touch for a GS3 and walked out with a $180 BB GC. I do believe that's going toward a Transformer Infinity..

was worth an hour of my time!
I got into BB 1 minute before closing last night... felt bad about making them stay long, but not TOO bad (since there were about 10 other people still getting their new GS3's!)... big step up from my old Epic. I agree with the other folks here... I hate black Friday shopping... I'd about rather gnaw off a limb than do that...

picked up mine on Sunday for $38.86 after my $50 phone freedom discount and a $20 gift card. I think its kinda dumb they taxed me on the $99.99 price.
Also, not sure for how long but if you get a phone at Best Buy, you'll be automatically upgraded to Silver Rewards Membership.

Wow now that's cheap

I have a question. I went into Best Buy on Tuesday (the 16th) and paid $199. Is there any way for me to benefit from this deal, or did I just miss my chance?

This is the dead best. Throw in their warranty and you never have to worry about bricking it either..
But what do you mean that you got a $100 "refund?" I got mine for 175... how do I get a refund also...
Actually, the absolute best deal if you don't care about the warranty is Walmart online. I don't know if they are still offering it, but they had it for $250 online with a $100 dollar walmart gift card. That is the cheapest that I gave seen it. Hands down.
So 175 or 150.

Another data point: I bought mine from Best Buy about 2.5 weeks ago for $240 (2 yr contract). Went in yesterday and they credited me the difference to match Amazon's $199.

I am sure a lot of people know this and have read the terms and conditions during checkout...watch out for the ETF fees for both the distributor and carrier...I believe Amazon Wireless charges $200 on top of ATT $325 and Walmart Wireless charges $400 ETF on top of ATT $325 ETF. If one calculates out the discounted price with the double wammy ETFs...the total cost to buy out the Note II comes out to be a little more than purchasing from ATT or Negri.
I think Negri Electronics has the best deal right now...but they are still out of stock. Most 3rd party distributors have a delay in shipping the i317 right now.

Assuming you guys dont know how to read because OP is looking for Note 2 WITHOUT CONTRACT.

Looking for Rogers version. Looks like they changed it from att to 317m unlocked version. Which gets 3g/4g/LTE on ATT.

[Q] Selling Questions

Wife and I might be leaving Sprint due to having bad service at home and work, but not in between. How annoying is that if we're roaming and can't use our data? I got a call from Sprint offering a free out on both lines with no ETF due to data roaming that's occuring while I work. We have an Airave here that we got for free (and have no problem sending back to Sprint).
Anyway, onto the question. What price should we be looking at to sell our phones? Both are in great condition -- hers is white, and mine is black. Hers has an Otterbox Defender on it and mine has a Commuter.
I was thinking about $250 a piece for a total of $500 to help pay for our new phones on another carrier.
Thoughts and comments are appreciated! Thanks

I think your price is too high. $200 if you are lucky but $150-175 per phone is more realistic. This phone has been out over a year and used cases have very little value.

150-160 if you want to sell it real quick. 170-185 is where I personally would look for if I'm looking for a used GS2. $200 and above is really stretching it.

I sold mine for $300 on dec 1 with 2 batteries and 3 cases. I put an ad on craigslist nov 31 and by 9am dec 1 I had 3 ppl message me 2 offered 250 and one offered the asking price. It was gone by 10am and I was at sprint picking up my note2
I like to break stuff!

Just wanted to let you guys know that I sold both phones for $200 each. One with an Otterbox Defender and the other with a Commuter.

I would've said $250 each at the minimum. Especially if they are in almost new condition since you've had cases on them.
Jist because this phone is a little over a year old it is still a great phone. If they are being sold now at $99 with a 2 year contract, $250 off contract for a like new with accessories is a great deal.
