[Q] Buying boxes - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

I just saw something on Ebay that I couldn't believe. People are buying cell phone boxes without the phones for $50 and up. One Note II box went for about $200 with the accessories but no phone. Did I miss something? When did this start happening?

Nice I have mint condition nexus one boxes for the phone and dock. Maybe a collector item now lol. Wish I still had the phone.

Anybody had any luck selling their S3?

Yes I understand this is kinda a sacrilegious post, but has anybody been able to sell their phone? If so, what price and how long did it take you to get it sold?

I have not personally sold mine, however I have seen people getting up to $500 for it if it's in mint condition
However you can definitely get $400 for it easily, and at $350 it will move in 24 hours or less I'd bet.
Check craigs list and ebay to see what others are selling for.

Seems like everybody want to sell their s3 and get note 2. On ny craiglist there are too many offer to sell or trade.
So I am not even keeping that option.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
I'm also in NY and for me to move this quickly in mint condition it would take me selling for $350 or less with all my accessories Nd that's not happening. I'll keep my gs3 as powerful as the note 2 is it doesn't justify the money I have to spend getting it over the s3. Sadly neither does the n4.
I wonder what the next step for android will be. The sgs3 was a nice "jump" and the note 2 is a little move forward but I'm looking for a leap before I move anything.

Depends on you area. I keep grttonf offers of $450 but i still dont see a better phone in the market
I'm going to post mine for sale for 475$ dock charger/spare battery slot, and 2 spare batteries, and a rock case. Phone doesnt have a scratch on it... just waiting to play with the Nexus 4 once my friend gets it.

Why would anyone regret it? Unless you live under a rock you were well aware of everything about the Nexus 4 way before the Note 2 was released.

I bought mine BNIB on Craigslist for $400. Now using it with Simple Mobile meaning that after a year of use I'll pay $500-600 less than someone on AT&T with this phone.
I'm happy.
No regrets. Best phone I've owned by a mile!
If only it came with boobies
From the Best: Note 2
I dropped 680 bucks for it yesterday. So far I love it. I have a little buyers remorse, but not because of the phone, simply for the 680 dollars...
I'm satisfied. Paid 650 off ebay, BNIB sealed and everything. No regrets. Now I just need to get a Lumina 920 that's t-mobile compatilble. lol

I bought two and am happy. I paid full price for my girlfriends $702 including tax and $305 including tax for mine.

Best phone I've ever had, bar none. Paid full price, no regrets. I have not taken a notepad or a sheet of paper to a meeting since I got it. My tablets are collecting dust. WiFi calling makes my battery go all day with 70% left. Quad core makes everything run blazing fast. Wolfson DAC makes FLAC files sound like vinyl, only better. S Pen. S Pen. S Pen. Vision Objects MyScript Note.
This phone IS what's next.

I'll probably sell mine and get a Nexus 4. Or maybe even wait for the next iteration in the Nexus line.
I love the phone's hardware and battery life. I just really hate TouchWiz.

Are there any sites selling this for cheap?

I know the new nexus is out but I want a Samsung made phone. I assumed that google would continue selling these with a lower cost but they did not. I don't want to pay $300 for a galaxy nexus because I could get a nexus 4 for that. Do you think the galaxy nexus price will drop?

You gotta put this in Q&A.
Since I'm already here.
I got my gnex a month ago on eBay for 182.00$.
If was posted as rooted and a couple people bid on it so I had to wait it out two hours and last second bid.
I have it and its mint. No scratches. Super clean!!!.
At the moment people are going to be cheap. They are going to jack up the price so they get a N4 for free.
Try to wait a couple months or Craigslist and eBay it. But just some advice , the cheap ones will be in horrible used condition.

That's like $400. Considering I was willing to let mine go for $250 I'd consider that a rip off but I have no clue how different the markets are.

[Q] how much is my galaxy nexus worth

I literally have no idea where to ask but here, I have a white galaxy nexus (gsm) sitting in the box, its almost flawless condition, but it has a charging issue. charges when it wants to charge, and prior to that I lost the official battery so its running on a cheap eBay battery. I have no idea how much to get rid of it for? I looked on craigslist but no galaxy nexus around my area to compare. Anyone wanna help me out on what I should price it for? Or if anyone wants it here throw me a deal. IDC I just don't need it anymore. Thanks guys

Go on craigslist and sell it for 150 and even that is pushing it with the quality you described. I sold my old gnex with a cracked screen for 200
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
it might have a bad usb port. it's a pretty common problem on these phones. the replacement part is like $8 on ebay.
if you're comfortable opening up the phone, fixing the port would probably greatly increase its resale value.

Is N2 worth it?

Xperia z= no spen, no multi Window, scratch prone and untested. This is a no brainer. I can almost guarantee 99% of the people on here will agree that the note 2 is the best phone they have ever owned.

I was a proud supporter of HTC for a long time. I bought the GS3, and two days later sold it. I didn't like how the screen made TW feel incomplete. Then I bought the N2, and damn, TW is amazing!!!! I don't see myself ever going to anything other than the Note series. As long as Samsung keeps updating, I will always be one of the first adapters. Honestly, I was sort of ashamed of myself I waited so long to buy it (bought it DEc 27)
I will say this, after using this phone, even the GS3 has a small screen. My old One S is super tiny, and lets not talk about iPhone's, those are literally toys in size compared to the sheer massive screen. So be prepared to never go back to anything under 5.5
Who the hell would buy a an s3 for 640....it retails for 549!
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium
I came from s3 and iphone 5. Note 2 hands down is the best phone and best choice. Phone is amazing. You will love it.
C.S.
I still have my s3, but since I got my note 2 it has been in a drawer for over a month untouched. The note 2 is so awesome my s3 just seems like a phone I would give my 10 year old daughter because it is of no use to me. Definitly won't regret going note 2. It is a badass phone man. Seriously this phone is awesome.

Note 2 has "hidden" Trad Chinese interface while S3 does not.
Went from the s3 to the Note 2. If you want the best......well, there it is.

I have an old bracelet from my father that is worth the world to me, for you most likely not worth anything. Moral of the story go get yourself a note and try it out. Nobody can tell you the worth of one of YOUR items. That is if you end up getting it of course.

Who would have thought that one could swap a S3 for a Note II and actully make a few bucks. You can buy a brand new, unlocked N2 for $627.50.

I would be concerned this guy is gonna report it as stollen get a new Note 2 from insurance company and have your imei blocked giving you a $400 paper weight, I hope for your sake I am just to cynacal for my own good, and that you just got a great deal, but I always think if a deal seems too good to be true it usually is.
I have had every phone worth having since the first IPhone and the G1 and this is by far the best one hands down. I got lucky and got mine for free from TMobile loyalty department because my sg3 I broke and they didnt add the insurance like they were supposed to. They were gonna just send another sg3 and I asked if he could send a Note 2 instead and he said sure lol I was lucky as hell.
