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

what about meeting the seller at a tmobile store and having tmobile activate it right there and there could they block it after wards?

+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.
I got my note 2 for tmobile from wirefly. com for 300 but had to sign a new contract

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..

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.

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.

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'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.

So I am up for a upgrade next week on the 18th and I really wanted to upgrade from the Skyrocket to the Note II. I want to try to find the best deal, because at the current $300 I don't think I would be able to get it. A month or so ago a couple people had luck getting Best Buy to price match the $99 Amazon Wireless price for the Note II on Sprint.. for a upgrade on AT&T. I have no idea how they got it to go through but someone even posted a copy of his receipt from Best Buy. Last week I called about 20 times trying to get a discount from AT&T customer service, since people had luck with them as well, but that failed. So I went down to Best Buy and they wouldn't do it either, even with the copy of the receipt. I just read about the $200 deal from Best Buy for the previous weekend and it sucks because people were able to get these great deals, and now that my upgrade is actually here I am going to miss out. Anyway, now that my rant is over, I was wondering if there are certain things people say or tricks that allow them to get places like Best Buy to lower prices that much and if I would be able to get a great deal next week.
Thanks.

See what the current deals are @ Radio Shack, Costco, Sams Club, etc. Bring those ads in to Best Buy and see what they will price match... if that doesn't work, show some leg.

Really.... I saw that a couple people posted about success at BB with price matching sprint but when I went in they said its for sprint and they won't price match for att. Currently there is a deal going on at BB that they give you $50 rewards points. Also RadioShack has note 2 upgrade for $200 so hopefully I can get BB to price match and then get the $50 off and get the note for $150.
But I would still like to get the $99 price match.. do you still have your receipt from when you got yours?
I got mine at Brandsmart for $249

How were you able to get it for $139 from Best Buy?..
Was on sale for $199 said I seen ad online for $150 which they found and matched then applied for bestbuy card which got denied lol and that gave me a $10 discount for applying but if you get approved you get $20 off so you can get it down a bit..of course went to NH were there is no tax haha

Hey All!
I just checked today and I see that Amazon and Best Buy are both selling the Optimus G for $49.99 on new contracts AND ON UPGRADES!
I have been waiting for this price on upgrades for awhile now... just wish I could get free activation too!
I need a phone so bad and I keep holding out for the HTC One but I may pull the trigger on this deal because I'm desperate and hate the phone I'm using now.
That HTC delay is killing me.

Got mine yesterday. 49.99 plus I signed up for the $50 gift card for a 2 year contract extension that they said they give to anyone that mentions it. They didn't even check or look it up, just had to mention it. I was holding out for the Note2 to come down in price but after some research on the LG I went for it. So far it is an awesome phone and for a total of $3.84 in taxes and sprints $35 activation I think it was a good deal. Anyone want a rooted Evo 3d with Android 4.2.2 pacman rom? :laugh:

It was Best Buy. Apparently all you'd have to do is mention the $50 and they scan a gift card from behind the register. I asked if he needed to see anything or look up my email and he said no. When I signed up it said in the ad that the coupon lasted all year.
When I got mine it was on sale for 99.00 they gave me a50 gift card and I got the free LG Bluetooth headset, value of 70$. :screwy:

It sucks because I tried to get my upgrade today, a week early, just to get this phone from Best Buy. Tomorrow it goes off sale at Best Buy, and I'm not sure how long it will be $50 on Amazon. If anyone has ordered a phone from Amazon, how is there warranty/protection service with phones. Only reason why I want to get this phone from Best Buy is due to the protection plan.

And I thought I had a plan. Hoping for a slightly more pocket-friendly Optimus G2, I planned to wait, and buy a discounted OGPro if I didn't like the G2. (must have replaceable battery, expandable storage and wireless charging) Now what?
Maybe G2 comes out sooner? Anyone else awaiting Optimus G2?

Actually quite happy you posted this deal!!! Thank you!!!!
Was going to trade in my iPhone and get the $100 rebate, bringing the cost down to $99.00 . Now I don't have to, and I can sell it privately (or just use it as an iPod Touch).
I wonder why the rapid price drop! This phone just hit AT&T's shelves about a month ago.

I just came back from the att store and got the price matched. ...saved $100. ...wohooo.. ...came to the forum to post but looks like you beat me to it ... anyone having purchased in the past 14 days can get it price matched. ...maybe the drop is in anticipation of note 3 ....anyway. ..all I care is I saved the green and its a fantastic device for 100.

Ok on Tuesday I placed my order (upgraded 2 lines, one from a GNote 2 to the OG Pro) the girl gave me a $25 discount..so I got the phone for 175...which I thought was a good deal.
I saw this today, called ATT and they just gave me a $100 credit on my account because they changed the price.
Knock ATT all you want, but they are taking good care of me.

Hi, I'm Selling my new Note 4 on Ebay and I need some advice listing it.
In forming my listing, I typically look at past successful listings and see how they worked their ad. I have noticed ad that claim to be "factory unlocked".
Can somebody explain this to me and also give me any tips on getting top buck for my listing?
I thought these phone were locked.
I can provide a photo of the label on my box.

I've had much better luck selling on my smartphones on Swappa. It's your choice, but Swappa just seems to attach more serious buyers and has a reputation for better protecting the seller and the customer. You'll also get a better idea of what smartphones similar to yours are selling for.

Thank you for your reply!
So does that mean I can truthfully say in my ad?
" Factory Unlocked To Work With Any GSM Carrier * OverSeas"
Another vote for swappa. Sold my phone there in a day (and most of them are if you are reasonably priced)
no crazy ebay fees.......
Just list your phone with the model # and a good description. You will do fine.
I sold both iphone 4 and galaxy S3 and started bidding at $1 with a buy it now that I felt was a little over average. Both sold on ebay in less then 3 hours, buy it now instant pay.
use craigslist.
too many scams with paypal dude...
people will buy and say it never got delivered.
i only sell on craigslist, but never buy
Swappa did not work for me. Had 2 people buy the phone but neither could pay for it. Had to relist each time. Finally gave up.
Some great feedback here, thanks guys. Its on swappa for two days then I'm moving it over to fleaBay.

On ebay, you'll pay like $60 in fees on a $600 ending price.
So $600 on ebay nets you $540. You can lowball on Swappa for 575, lose $10 to swappa, pay shipping yourself, maybe $15, and still come out ahead despite an initial $25 lower price. Just something to think about.
