I am not sure what happened to the marketplace on here. Unfortunately I am needing to go basic which means no more inc2. The problem I am having is finding a local place that has basic phones. I gave up on eBay after my account got hacked and they wouldn't do anything about it.
Does anyone know of a place that sells basic phones without contract for cheap? Yes I am selling the inc2 or even possible trading for the right deal.
Mods I am not asking for sales on here just opinions on best place to shop.

I've bought phones locally on Craigslist before. It's worth at least checking out. Even if there aren't any good choices immediately available, there's lots of phone dealers on there that could probably get you set up with something.
Other than that, most big box stores (Walmart, Target, Costco) and even some grocery stores and convenience stores sell cheap pre-paid mobile phones.

Yeah. I have checked the local Craigslist and found a few but they were all beat up. I have my inc on there so hopefully I will have some hits.
Why not move you phone to pageplus. It uses Verizon's.network and has all kinds ofn cheap plans... As cheap as 10 a month

Hey guys! So I've had my eye on the Verizon GNex for a while now but my parents are unwilling to give up their upgrade so I can get it... Ebay is an option but also pricey for a used one ya know... Does anybody have any ideas where else i can look? besides craigslist
Again, I wanna find a verizon samsung gnex lol no GSM
Those are really your only options. I doubt you will find them online for cheaper.... Maybe amazon?

What's wrong with clist? Just make sure you meet at a Verizon store and you have the ESN checked. Make a test call, check that it powers off / on quickly. Fast GPS lock, etc etc.

Look in the XDA Market Place or Swappa.
Amazon has the device for $650. I doubt you'll find a much better price on a new device.
As stated above, check out your local forums or swappa.

That can't be right. A new one on eBay is $475-$350 and a brand new unlocked GSM version is only $350. I've seen some good Verizon ones on Clist and that'd probably be your best bet.

i checked out the marketplace and couldnt find the vzw one, am i just dumb and couldnt see it? lol
im checking swappa now, and ebay is good up until a few hours before the auction ends... then it jumps from reasonable to NUTS
I'm not looking to spend over $300 for this.. i really doubt i can find anything for cheaper lol so thank you for giving me some ideas.. ill still look back here to see if anybody posts so if you find a deal let me know!
Unfortunately, Verizon's business model is a dying, failing breed. They overprice the phones so they can sell them at a subsidized price to make it seem like you are getting a good sale. You are paying easily double for a phone that is worth half that price (look at the price on the Play Store). I would recommend Craig's List, or maybe keep a close eye on eBay, but you aren't going to be able to find an LTE Nexus for anywhere near $300.
Either convince your parents, or save up!
I'm able to upgrade on December 1st and was wondering if there will be any other places to buy the note from. Black Friday is coming soon and if stores like amazon carry it I'm sure they'll dampen the $300 price a bit, but if it's only available on sprint and best buy it doesn't look like it will happen.

You can buy it from Wirefly and other online retailers right now for a discounted price.
If you mean brick and Mortar stores, Radioshack should be selling (On their website) and maybe WalMart too.
It's great that there are other carriers. I think I'll buy black friday. Does anyone know how long you have until you can activate the phone? My upgrade is available December 1. I was wondering if it's possible to buy the phone and wait a week before activating it. When I first signed up for sprint I know it was about 2 weeks after receiving my phone from amazon, I'm not sure if what the policy is with other stores and upgrades though.
Best Buy should be carrying it soon as well. They just got in the AT&T variant today.

It's a link to Wirefly that is technically designated for Friends and Family of Simplexity employees. But the link has been easily accessed by the public for some time now. I bought my last 2 phones from that link, including my Note II that I just ordered this weekend.
Just do a Google search for Wirefly Friends and Family.

Our local best buy said they would price match the wirefly friends and family price. ymmv. radioshack is supposed to have it for 249.99, but our local store doesnt have any stock yet.
Does best buy price match? I can get the s3 for 50 on a new contract through tmobile through my jobs discount will tmobile. Only problem is its done online and they have to ship the phone and its a mail in rebate. If i print it out and take it to best buy will they price match and I get the phone same day?

I think they do. But it has to be a published price, so I don't think your employee discount will count. They need like a newspaper ad or to be able to pull up a webpage (like Amazon) by themselves and see the cheaper published price.
Do they match the retail price? If so take the picture of Costco's retail price and bring it in and have them sell you the phone for $350 off contract.
This question isn't even in the wrong section, it's on the wrong website.

Ok heres the thing. Even if they price match or not best buy does not sell the phones at their stores anymore that has to be done online or over the phone. Atleast thats what I was told for my wifes phone which I just got like 2weeks ago on sale for $50 which was a s3 . Maybe just maybe yours might sell it in stores idk. Like I said thats just what I was told. But the bright side is they got shipping for like 5 bucks comes in 3days flat
Yeah that's my problem I'll be without a phone for a week because I have a sprint s3 but ex cut it off. So im selling that paying 400 deposit and getting tmobile

You can buy Verizon, sprint and at&t in store but T-Mobile you have to order online or they can do it for you. That's how it is over here at least.

Yup same here another silly policy from tmobile, maybe they think you would leave them and join other carriers if your at the store. That tells you how sucky and not confident they are.

It's not a policy made by T-Mobile. By federal law, a retail store cannot sell all 4 main carriers (don't ask me why). Therefore it is up to the resaler to choose which 3 they want to sell. For example, Target chose not to sell Sprint.

Go to best buy and have them match Fry's at 99.99 then tell them you signed up for the freedom program in January and they will give you $50 off. They will tell you "its not coming up in our system", just assure them that you did sign up for it. The system is kinda broken so they'll take your word for it. I got 3 of them yesterday for everyone on my family plan. Fantastic deal.

And has literally almost no mark up at all on tvs or computers. In fact they often sell those items below cost. They make that money back in upselling those horribly priced accessories.
Regardless, I have no stock in them, I just find it frustrating when people abuse the system and straight up lie. That could cost someone their job, I've seen it happen.

Frys is now $149 w/ 2-year contract. I know because I went there yesterday and found they upped the price (which stopped me from upgrading).
I got my G Pro for $99 at the AT&T store, too my dad's old impulse, and they gave me a $100 credit. On their system, the Impulse 4G was worth $6!! Can you believe that!

Best buy will price match that and you can trade you old phone in to att. Then it's only 49.00 plus tax. Personally I just sell my old phone but either way.

I understand about BB price matching Fry's, but then how do you go about trading in your old phone to AT&T. Doesn't AT&T give you the money for your old phone ONLY if you purchase a new one from them? Or are you saying that BB will buy your old AT&T phone just like the corporate store will?
Edit: I just went to Fry's website and I saw Verizon, T-Mo, and Sprint, but no AT&T. So, if no AT&T, then how does one get a OGPro from them?

I think there's one on Swappa right around $325 when I checked a few days ago. Not sure if it sold or not. I'd bet you can get around $300 before they take out their fees. You'll probably be able to get more on Craigslist depending on where you're located.

Don't see them going for a premium price as someone has already said they have a root exploit for 4.4 2 but he won't release it till Aug. So not like the phone is locked down forever. But there are idiots that will always pay more for something

I picked mine up for $350 off Craigslist in LA. They're all going for around $350 here rooted or not. Highest I saw was 360, lowest 300.
Not much since the price of them dropped from $599 to $499. From what I see, an HTC One in good shape, maybe with a few extra accessories, can get you $400 or a little more or a little less, depending on if you have the original box/any scratches/phone and accessories in their packaging. Surprisingly I've seen HTC One Maxxs sell for $450 for ones that are in near perfect shape. With the taxes and fees that ebay and paypal add to the sellers, if you sold an HTC One for $400, you would really only see about $350 of that. I think it's a better deal if you can sell one locally, to either a friend or family member, possibly through friends on Facebook. Something that I am considering doing to my HTC One, so that I can upgrade to the HTC Maxx.
I have an HTC One that was S offed by Sonic with a java card. I have not seen any posted. I imagine that if I labeled it as " Being able to work on almost any carrier." I could probably fetch up to $450 or more for mine. With the right knowledge and understanding on this phone with it being S off / Unlocked / Rooted it really could work on any carrier. straight talk, AT&T, page plus, Viaero, Tmobile, and sprint, since I believe that it is also a worldwide phone that has all of the GSM and CDMA bands inside of it.
I didnt notice modded phones going for more. Thats part of the android experience learning the ins and outs of a new device.
