Hey,
My wife listed my TP2 for me on eBay along with a couple other windows phones I've been told to get rid of...
I've never sold a smartphone before, what steps past a hard reset should I take to sell it safely?
Thanks

i personally sell my old smartphones on craiglist its better you could find some one local to buy it from you that means: you dont pay taxes to ebay & not to mention the rest of the fees they charge by the time they finish charging you you feel violated , no worrys & more profit for your pockets on craiglist by the way.. you dont have to worry about relocking it or anything else.
I know to format the SD card and internal memory. Anything else I need to do ? Also, would it be better to sell rooted or should I put it back to stock?
Mention in your ad that it is rooted but you could take it to stock if the buyer would prefer. Also, don't neglect to mention any wear and tear on the phone.
If you want to include your sd card, format it on your computer, a full erase. Also, go through and do a fresh install of whatever ROM you are on, to make it brand new for the buyer.

Yeah def format everything, Go back to stock but have it rooted. Let whoever is buying the phone do the customizations on it. If you do and something doesn't work correctly they could ask for a refund, neg. feedback, etc. If you have a phone that works 100% like it should from the store and all you have done is root it, a lot less problems will arise.
I know this because when i sold my HTC TP2, I had NRGZ28 6.5 rom on there, as much as i liked it then guy who bought it didn't and i almost had to give him his money back, had to go through the process of how to flash a rom, etc... So from experience, Put it all back to stock, run unrevoked, and thats all.
Great tips, exactly what I was looking for. Thanks.

I would un-root it, and not mention anything about it being rooted. The buyer who doesn't want root may not buy it as they think the warranty is void or whatever other reason. and the buyer who wants root. will certainly be capable of rooting it themselves. IMO.
I'm not so sure of that being as jailbroken iPhones go for more money and have voided warranties. Maybe mention the term jailbroken when you say its rooted? A kid I know actually paid someone to "jailbreak" his evo.

Yeah make sure you mention its rooted more money for sure. People pay for that in California for sure
no, you won't get anymore money from saying it's rooted or not.

And where do you come up with that. I have sold unlocked/jailbroken/stock/rooted phones on ebay before and the ones that are rooted/jailbroken/unlocked ALWAYS go for more money. I sold my unlocked HTC TP2 for $325 when most were going for about $250 on ebay. I sold my ex-gf unlocked BB for $225 when most were going for around $175.
Do some research the next time...

any unlocked/jailbroken iPhone will sell for nearly 15 - 20% more than it's carrier locked/un-jailbroken brethren.
I'm not sure if it works the same for android, but most people see that it's running something custom and therefore must be more awesome. My rooted LG ally sold for all of $189 stock, I installed Froyo on it and it jumped to $250.
If you don't know, don't talk fool!

unlocked is EXTREMELY different than rooted/jailbroken. I have sold phones on ebay and have looked up prices on ebay and craiglist. Please, explain to me how you can unlock a CDMA phone, I would love to know. Jailbroken/rooted phones go for the same as stock phones...

no, we read, I think you're going into backpedal mode to try and defend yourself. Check this out:
Used 32gb Stock iPhone 4 = $500
Used 16gb jailbroken iPhone 4 = $680
Imagine the price jump if it was 32gb and unlocked? And no one said you could unlock a CDMA phone, where did you read that?
Yes, but wait! The buyer had 0 feedback... hmm who knows if that transaction went through. All of you are talking about GSM phones being unlocked and/or jailbroken when he's selling an incredible.
But, iPhone 4 32gb sells for around 500 bucks on ebay.
unlocked or factory unlocked ones sell for around 700-800 bucks
unfortunately, there are no only jailbroken ones on ebay ending anytime soon.
most of the time, they are jailbroken and unlocked. I will post some listings tomorrow that will be ending soon and comparing them to stock ones.
http://cgi.ebay.com/HTC-Droid-Incre...Cell_Phones&hash=item2c5a2bbec7#ht_500wt_1156 this one is like new, stock, accessories included, may be a bit more than the rooted one
http://cgi.ebay.com/HTC-Droid-Incre...0674008345?pt=Cell_Phones&hash=item1c18bb3d19 this one is rooted, + has a bunch of stuff included.
Let's see the price difference after they end?

Who said anything about unlocking a CDMA phone. The HTC TP2 was a CDMA/GSM, I had it unlocked and my friend took it and used it on T-Mobile. Certain people will pay more for something that is already unrooted/unlocked/jailbroken. Please read what I write the next time you reply...

yeah, cause people want to buy an incredible that looks like a tropical lizard...
yes i understand unlocked phones sell for more than locked ones. i'm talking about stock vs rooted. stock vs jailbroken. They sell for the same price. And the skin is easily removed...
Jesus christ man... I could find a legit one, but don't feel like it. I was trying to prove a point, every phone i've sold ended up being more profitable due to jailbreaking/rooting. idk wtf you are trying to prove, but if it's that you're right, whatever. I am not going to message sellers and what not.
edit: Also, how would it be a scam to bid high on a product and not pay? That's just stupid. Also: this phone is only $65 more, but it is jailbroken. Buyer has 109 feedback. In most cases, it is more profitable to have a phone jailbroken/rooted. Now, can we drop this? It's getting away from the topic at hand.
don't get mad lol, i'm just saying that rooting/jailbreaking stuff doesn't increase the price. every phone i've sold whether rooted or not does not impact the price. my d1 sold for (180) average price and it was rooted. my samsung fascinate sold for average price (280) and it was stock.
It would be a scam because people may pretend to pay and idiot sellers would send the item. Also, your final value fee costs a lot to pay if you don't receive money until you open a case, which takes 8 days to open and close it if they buyer does not pay, so it's just a time waster.
Here's an example of a scam buyer, View attachment 500098
This is not getting offtopic, the op asked if it would be better if his phone be stock or rooted. I said that it does not matter price wise.

Hi with the note 2 coming out soon, I am wondering if it is better to buy it full price with warranty and everything or to pick one up off craigslist for maybe $100 cheaper?
Thanks
Well you always take a risk when buying "used"... Personally i bought an Int'l version from Amazon thru Worldwide Dist that assures me it is warrantied thru Samsung U.K..... I didn't mind that it lacks LTE, as i am on Straight Talk and my 3-5 Mbps is plenty fast enough for me.
What i would say that might influence your decision is this: Are you planning on rooting? If so, i wouldnt buy a phone without a warranty. And secondly, this phone is so vastly improved over the Note 1, that i think it is worth every penny of the full price to insure you get yourself a brand new, worry free, out of the box experience. You will love this device soooo much and be using it so often, you'll MORE than get every penny's worth. This is UNLIKE any device you have ever used, i promise you that!
$100.00 is not enough of a savings( (in my opinion) to take a chance with a device someone didn't want. Hope this helps : )
ok so heres my question. i currently have tmobile and have found a note (tmobile version) 2 on craigslist for sale. hes selling it at an insane price! however, im concerned about getting burned. whats to say he sells the phone to me and then tells tmobile its lost or stolen? will the phone not work for me? maybe im to cautious but even at a great deal im still spending around $500. however if it were an unlocked phone from another carrier it would be ok?
ive been hearing horror stories about this so im just looking to cover my bases. its still a lot of cash.
thoughts?
I would be EXTREMELY careful buying off CL expecially at low prices. I've been hearing and reading about people getting screwed. One guy had his phone for 3 months before it got locked down. Just have to use your best judgement.
Good luck

I owned the Nexus 4 and returned it for the N2. Screen was kind of washed out, battery life was not great. The glass back always worried me. Non replaceable battery as over time batteries go bad. Very fast, smooth, 4.2 is nice. No Facebook sync. Photosphere is neat but a huge battery killer. Great price from play store. But, thats if you can get one.
N2 is ... worth every penny.

The easiest way to take care of this is to simply meet him at the T-Mobile store to verify the transaction. Tis what we did for our second note we found on CL. Working like a champ!

i did ask him for the imei. he did send it to me and even told me that he would give me the receipt. however, i have been told that even though its clean now it doesnt stop him from making a call as soon as i walk out the door.

Get it in writing. Make a "bill of sale" with the IMEI and signatures, yours, the sellers, and possibly if you go to a T-Mobile store ask if one of the workers can sign it also and get a pic or video holding the "bill of sale"? I know it might seem kinda weird but, you can never be too careful, these phones are pretty new and pretty expensive still, that is a lot of money to risk...
Are you by any chance on TMo classic plan? I have 3 lines on my plan and the closest one eligible for an upgrade is still 11 months away. I sold my S3 and ready and willing to add some money to buy Note 2 full price, either from TMo or ebay. But i took a chance and call TMo for an early upgrade, and they give it to me for the same price as upgrade. Of course with my luck, the day after I ordered, Cyber monday deal cut the price significantly, and they wont adjust the price for me but still i got it cheaper than my S3 sold price :victory:

That will do no good if he calls it in as stolen or had the value plan and quits paying on it. If he paid full price for the phone, that's the only somewhat safest way it would not get locked (unless called in as stolen)
I just don't want to see someone else get scammed. May be legit but you can never be 100% sure off CL unfortunately.

it wil make a difference in terms of getting your money back...if he does call it in as stolen you have proof of sale so its obviously NOT stolen...and if he stops making payments you can get a refund..you would have to hand over your phone but at least you get your money back
i would just make sure that the document you create states that he phone is either completely paid for or that it states that the seller will continue to make payments until it is paid off in full
someone else posted the same question and i also gave him the same advice...as an experienced phone seller/buyer of ebay and CL i would say that the extra $50-100 that you save isnt worth the headache and paranoia that comes with the savings
if you are going to the tmobile store you could probably even ask the clerk to give you the info on how the phone was purchased and if it was paid off...maybe even ask him how long the account has been active and if the guy has a good track record (the seller will be standing there so its not like you are asking for confidential info without his knowledge)
in my opinion...the only way i would buy a phone that is cheaper than the average asking price is if the seller really did convince me that it was legit (has a legit reason for selling the phone where the price that he sells it for isnt his main focus - ie. he received it as a gift and making $500 on a quick sale is enough for him he doesnt care to squeeze the extra $50 and/or if the seller had a receipt for the phone)..if i have an uneasy feeling i would just pass.always go with your gut

If I were you, I would go to TMO and see what they can do for you about getting the phone directly from them. I was in the same situation as you were about a week ago....wanting the Note II so badly, but had already used my upgrade a couple of months ago for the HTC One S. I basically walked into my closest TMO store and asked the rep what they could do to get me the Note without having to pay full price.
In the end, they were able to get it for me for $200...after rebate, but I had to pay $150 migration fee (Originally $300). I then sold my HTC One S on eBay for $300. So how you look at it, I only paid $50 for the Note II!
Trust me, go into TMO and talk to them....that is one thing I like about them over the other carriers is their customer service is better, not awesome, but better than ATT & Verizon.

Usually if you haveto ask this question its a bad idea.
its just the cheapskate in you trying to justify the purchase
here are your options
1) buy the craigslist note 2, worry about everything under the sun (is it stolen, does it WORK, are they gonna shut it down etc.) and take a chance of getting ripped one way or the other
2) dont be a cheapskate, save another 189$ dont have to worry about anything, ANYTHING!
i appreciate ALL of the feedback! at the end of the day the phone would have costed $450 plus 3.5 hours of driving round trip and probably $30 in gas. so for a total of $480 i just think ill save the few extra bucks and buy it from the store. i really do appreciate it.
just need to decide on a phone. n4, n2, s3, or the sony lt28h.
gotta admit $450 is a hell of a deal though lol.

NOTE 2 for sure...you're in the note 2 forum so that will be the dominant answer.
but seriously the note 2 has been the best phone i have ever owned or used...and i am a phone fanatic...once you use it for a week you can't go back to smaller ones...whenever i see other phones now they look like toys...i remember a few weeks ago (before i bought the note 2 and had my nexus) i thought my sisters S3 was huge...now when i hold that phone in my hands it looks really small and dull
i definitely wouldnt put the s3 in this class of phones (unless its the international one)...i would only go with the n4 is your MAIN focus is on development and/or this phone is too large for your liking
I'm buying a t-mobile galaxy s4 tomorrow, I got to check the phone out today. It starts up with a t-mobile boot animation and shuts down with one.
The "about phone" section said it's an SGH-M919 and something like android version 4.2.2 XXXXXXXMDL. Other than that, how can I tell that this is a legit samsung galaxy s4 for t-mobile?
boot animations can be flashed to any phone, and I'm pretty sure the "about phone" info can be spoofed as well.
Without downloading any apps, how can I tell it's real?
Thanks in advance, hope to join this section tomorrow.

Check the IMEI number which is in "about" and call Tmobile to see if it's been blacklisted.
Also very important, bring a Tmobile sim card with you when you go to buy the phone and
make sure you can make and receive calls properly and make sure the audio sounds normal.
You can google the internet and search for "check imei" and it will tell you if the phone has
been reported stolen or something.
All you gotta do on the website is input the numbers in "about phone" imei and you can also
find the imei behind the battery as well as pasted onto it's original retail box.
Good luck!

The best advice I can give you is don't do it.
Don't try to save a buck. Go to the store and buy a brand new one.
There are just too many scams out there around used S4's. Even if it's a completely legit phone today, the seller could report it stolen next month and get a replacement for the cost of the deductable. Then your 'new' phone will suddenly have a blacklisted IMEI. We've seen this scam reported here dozens of times.
There are also so many other things that could be wrong. It might be a legit S4 that has some other flaw you wouldn't notice until you use it regularly, like a funky GPS that only works occasionally or some other thing.
Unless you are getting it for like $100 or something that's not too big of a risk, go to the store and pay full price. The security that comes with that is well worth the extra money.
So much can go wrong with a deal like this.
At least if it's on eBay or Swapa or somethign you have some buyer protections. But paying cash from 'some guy' is putting ALL of the risk on you.
If you MUST do this, pick it up from the seller's house. Make it clear that you know where he lives and you'll call the cops if anything goes funky later.

the phone is at an electronics store, where they sell used items (computers, laptops, xbox, games, tons of blu ray movies, tv's). they have a guarantee the phone won't be reported stolen/blacklisted or they will replace it. they also give a 14 day warranty.
I just want to look for specific characteristics or features that the real S4 has, that I can look at and check. (just in case they got ripped off, although i don't think thats the choice since they have the means to imei look up and check. but those can be spoofed/changed as well)
Look at the battery. Look at the back cover. Flip through the operating system. But, I'd say it sounds real unless you are in China. Looking forward to seeing you around the forum.

That's a different story altogether. Just make sure it's a reputable business. Find reviews of them on the internet and stuff like that. (And make sure all teh positive reviews don't read like they were written by the same person.)
And pay with a credit card. That will give you additional protections in case there is a problem.
Also ask the seller if the device has been paid in full or if there still payments that need to be made. You dont want to purchase a device that has an unpaid balance. I still have the receipt for my device that shows its been paid in full, just in case I plan on selling mine.

Well I went back to get the phone, and the guy who helped me today was a total D-bag. Spoke to me as if I was wasting his time and my money was no good. Also, "magically", The price went up 30 bux, was asking $379 yesterday (phone only, no charger or anything). So it was at that time while he was answering my questions and trying to help someone else I just walked out. Drove to a t-mobile store and my gf paid the remaining costs of a brand new off contract gs4 (early bday gift), Got a case, screen protector, then headed over to walmart and got a san-disk 64gb sdxc red/grey.
Haven't really set up the phone yet, I did test the data speeds and OMFG it's a huge step up from a galaxy s2, I was unaware I had LTE in my area lolz.
So, Now I have a brand new white (like I love my women) Galaxy S4. I guess I lucked out because mine was not updated to 4.3 out of the box, it's on 4.2.2 MDL.
Sup brothas!
I'll report back after I get setup and what not. Now it's time to celebrate new years. Be safe everyone!
EDIT: Oh, thanks for answering my questions fellas. I appreciate all the help and advice.
