I made a poor poor mistake in buying an unlocked Galaxy S3 when my Galaxy Nexus crapped out on me. I've had it for a week & now its back in the box, as it just doesn't feel "right". I'd happily give up my new GS III for another Galaxy Nexus so I was wondering if anyone knows of any reputable places to get a new/used Nexus at a reasonable price? Unfortunately Craigslist isn't very active in my area, so that's a no-go. Any insight or help would be appreciated!
P.S. I boxed my new GS III so my inbox is open for any type of serious offers
eBay, Craigslist etc.
Op, you might try the classifieds or whatever they call it here on XDA.... Unless I'm thinking of Rootzwiki.

In a one week span I sold VZW Galaxy Nexus, HP Touchpad and Droid Incredible on Swappa and purchased a GSM Galaxy Nexus with no issues at all. Everything is smooth and they are top notch. Don't waste your time at all on eBay or get gangbanged while meeting someone from craigslist.
The prices include the $10 buyers fee so honestly, what you see is what you pay. Couldn't be happier with them.

Amazon.com isn't bad either, if you keep a close eye on the used listings. I got mine for $200 off Craigslist.

I appreciate everyones suggestions so far -- To the people PM'ing me: I appreciate your interest in my S3, but I don't appreciate having time wasted - When you tell me your "interested", ask numerous questions & then just disappear, its a massive waste of your & my time. For those that's curious, it's a T-Mobike branded Marble White 16GB S3, however its been fully unlocked to run on & support AT&Ts HSPA+ network also. There's not a much as the smallest imperfection on the phone. Like I said, I'm open to any sensible trade involving a G-Nex, but prior to even Coming, you should already have some definitive idea of what you want to do.

You should put this on xda marketplace.

You are looking to trade different network phones so it will be a tough trade. But you may get some interest in the marketplace depending on how much cash you will add.

Right now, I have the HTC Vivid. It's a great phone, but the development is absolutely terrible and I don't see it getting better any time soon lol. I've had my eyes on the Nexus for a few weeks but still don't know if its worth buying. My Vivid is worth about $200 used, so that leaves $200 more dollars to buy a new one from the Play Store. I'm only 15 and am not old enough to get a job so this is a large investment for me! I really like the development of the nexus as well as the AMOLED screen! Please comment your opinion phone and what you think I should do below!

Really depends on the phone you're coming from, I had an LG G2x, which the Tegra 2 cpu was great and handled mostly everything fine, but the lack of RAM, bigger screen, and no open source drivers had me looking at the One S, but the GNex is more of what I like.
Anyways, definitely go for it. AMOLED screens in general are known for their outdoor visibility, and this one holds up perfectly. Just make sure you get an anti-glare screen protector if you decide to buy one.
I too am wondering if I should go for the Galaxy Nexus or the Samsung Galaxy SII? I have a HTC Amaze, but I am just ready for something different than HTC. I have had them for over 2 years now.

Imo the biggest advantage of a Nexus phone is the software that comes directly from Google. No need to wait 6 Months+ for bloating up Software with Apps you usually don't need or can install separatley. And you don't have to worry about buying a 500$+ phone and don't get the mayor update Google announced 10 months after the phone was released because the follower is already released and only the follower will get that update (gratz Samsung for your SGS behaviour)
Buy one!!!!! I never realized how much I would love this phone until I purchased it on launch day. With a ROM, kernel, and 4.0.4 radios, this phone pretty much won't be obsolete for a damn good amount of time.

I came from a sgs2, then got a HTC one x, sold it because it was just a little to big for me. Now i got a Nexus. I love to root and have custom roms. Now I have my nexus, the only question that remains is: why didn't I buy a Nexus phone earlier?
You'll love it!

Don't get it if you are on Verizon unless you are okay with delayed updates. Otherwise, I is a really simple and wonderful phone to have. If you are a rooter/from junkie, then don't worry about Verizon.

Yes yes yes - but not with LTE
I have the google HSPA+ Nexus. I cannot believe I didn't buy it earlier. (Well, I can, because it was originally about $700..)..
Anyway, this is the best freaking phone I have ever had. In the last few days, I've watched two full-length movies on it. I've NEVER done that with a phone before.
The performance is great, the UI is great, the hardware is great, and (at least for GSM), the battery life is phenominal.
Would I like an 8mp camera instead of the camera it has? Sure. Have I taken GREAT photos with the camera I have now in the Nexus-- yes. This is a nice-to-have for me, not a deal-breaker.
Having an unlocked stock google OS is great, by the way.
Anyway, I could go on and on. The bottom line, it's worth it.
I just found a guy the XDA market selling his white GSM Nexus for $420 shipped! Hope its worth it. It seems kind of scetchy with paying via PayPal. I will include the link.

Ok, my order for the SG II did not go through for whatever reason, so I can go either way now. I am coming from a HTC Amaze, and the development over there kind of has spuddered. I am ready to try something different, having had HTC devices for over two years straight (MyTouch 4G (great), and HTC Amaze (ok)).
I am ready to go Galaxy Nexus, but the biggest concern to me is data speeds. I have gotten 18Mbps down on the Amaze. It supports the HSPA+ 42? Has anyone seen those speeds on the GSM Nexus?

If a person has the THOUGHT of owning a Galaxy Nexus then it is obviously worth buying because it is still relevant to them. Nexus devices are relevant for a long time, even past one year or even two.
Am highly considering getting a Nexus 7 to go along with my GSM galaxy nexus. the attractive price point, Specs, and size are what make me want the device. Have a OG transformer that ill give to my little sis with a keyboard and i replace that with this. Anyone have any objections to getting this bad boy? Only gripe i have is that it only goes up to 16GB! That and after using it for a while, my Gnex might feel small to me.
I think I'm gonna bite the bullet and order one $200 seems like a pretty awesome deal

just did for the 16 gb model.
Yup, ordered the Nexus 7 16 GB. I was planning on getting a Motorola Xoom (Currys were selling them for £130 but it turned out they were just lying about having them) so this seems a good substitute.
I'll be getting one. Have an A100 at the moment as I prefer the 7" tablet size but there is no dev scene on that thing and what can beat the dev scene of a nexus device?
Yep. Probably gonna get the 16 gig one in maybe month or so.

I am toying with the idea but I just sold my CM9'd touchpad due to lack of use because my GNex is serving me so well. Perhaps as a hack toy but that's why I bought the Touchpad.
Every nerd needs a hack toy...
Don't see the point, for me.
I have the iPad 3 and a Galaxy Nexus, and both are serving me good for what they do. The Nexus 7 just seems to be a Galaxy Nexus with a faster CPU and a bigger screen... It doesn't replace my iPad and doesn't do more than my Galaxy Nexus.
I am still not sold with the phone interface on 7" tablet.
And 16GB is too small ... without Micro SD card for tablet.
Looks like a nice bit of kit, but'll stick to my Xoom

Well after honestly thinking about it, i'm going to cancel my order in the morning. I seriously thought about it and i came to the conclusion that me having a gnex will ruin my experience. Honestly it will literally be our phone which is 16gb without any removable storage with a 7inch screen and some better specs running Jellybean that looks like it's in phone mode.. unless there are some features or value that i'm not seeing, pre-order remorse got the better of me.
I am, I am tired of my a500. Wi-Fi sucks and a teen inch tablet is not as comfortable as seven inch is

Nexus gives you wings?
.. but yeah, N1 to a GN is a HUGE upgrade. Any phone of this generation will be a huge upgrade. A caution of word though, after using Galaxy Nexus... your N1 screen will look like a joke. At least that's what GN did to me to any phone with a screen smaller than 4.5"
Hell, I went from the HTC One X to the GNex and it felt like a massive upgrade. I couldn't imagine going from N1 to GN. Do eeeet.
Get the GN and no mistake.
I'd changed my GN only with the next GN.
A big upgrade that's for sure.

$430 for a Smart Phone is just unbelievable, I personally don't know what I'm going to do when I want to get a new phone ( I currently have a Galaxy Nexus with Unlimited Data). I guess I will be a couple generations behind and wait a good year and a half. I can justify buying a smartphone for $200 dollars. You can actually buy a new Galaxy Nexus on Ebay for $200.00 I would do that if you need a phone right now.
I appreciate everyone's advice. You have some very helpful people in this forum!

Since you like your current phone and not in a hurry; I'd say wait for the Nexus 5. It's unlikely to be revealed on tomorrow's I/O but should be released by November or something, and should come with Android 5, So it's worth the wait and I believe you could get an unlocked version from Google Play Store for less than what you are willing to pay at the moment.
like the person above said, I suggest you wait until the next nexus comes out in November. Plus, $430 for the galaxy nexus is outrageous and you could get it for $200 in craigslist or ebay.
