Never bought anything from this site but I was looking through it and found the nexus for $519.99
I already for mine from dailysteals but for anyone who missed out $519.99 is a pretty damn good price and free shipping
It feels like the price for the G.Nex are rapidly falling the last few days. I've been closely monitoring prices via amazon and other third parties and it's incredible.
Probably worth pointing out that they are "a Daily Steals brand" and not a complete nobody. For whatever that's worth.

Their reseller ratings aren't bad either. I honestly don't think that people will get outright scammed from these third parties, rather it's the issue with customer service and shipping.

Yeah, I think I'd rather pay extra on a more reputable site and have the peace of mind.
wow... thats cheap and thers is a white version too!
I tried to order from that site but it wont let me use my credit card for some reason keeps saying paypal declided it, although I know there it plenty credit on the card.
Anyone else got it to go through?
I dont want to transfer funds from bank account via paypal on website as dont completely trust this place.

they also refer to the phone as a 4g LTE Galaxy Nexus. But also refer to it as the i9250 GSM Galaxy nexus.
Order from l2d2online.com they have white or black for 575 and code tjoos gives u 2% off...they offer free shipping and ship within 24hrs...I ordered a white one for 563 a couple days ago and they shipped it the same day..40 bucks more for peace of mind is worth it to me..they have return policy and warranty..

I've bought headphones from them before. They shipped them without notifying me but they are legit. The only complaint I have is not telling me when they were shipped. Have you added your card to your PayPal account? That is what I did.

They go by country for warranty. You need a receipt showing you purchased the phone in that country, as well as an address in that country for Samsung to ship to after repairs. This is why going through Negri or Expansys is a must if you want a warranty.

You won't have a warranty because none of these come from the US. If you want the warranty to be valid still, you have to use a reputable importer that will handle it for you. Samsung won't let you send it in directly from the US.

You're basically asking for someone to pay monthly fees for your phone to be subsidized which isn't going to happen without you paying substantially more than the upgrade price to cover that.

Why should we help you out? You're asking us to use our upgrade so you can get a new phone?! GTFO you cheap A$$ [email protected]#$%*
I'm sorry OP, but if you really want something in life, you've got to work hard for it.
You're only going to save a little money at best. I have a line that's eligible for upgrade but it doesn't have a data plan. So if you're gonna pay for the monthly data plan for 2 years which is 10 extra per month its yours for $550. (240 for the data plan, 200 for the phone through target 100 for the upgrade fees and tax and my time etc)
I do. What you looking to spend on it?

Wait a few months. I got my GS2 off craigslist from a guy who had a 4 line account. He upgraded all 4 lines to GS2's. Kept 2 for him and his wife and then sold the other 2 for $380 each. That covered the cost of all the upgrades. The GS3 costs a little bit more than the GS2 did, but you will start seeing them for reasonable prices on CL.
OP is crazy. Seriously.

What you are expecting people to do is very selfish on your part. No one is going to lose money for a complete stranger so they can have a new luxury phone.
Sell you mine for $300.
Then ill pull a craigslist move and claim it stolen, IMEI will be blocked then i get another one for free...

Have you tried calling T-Mobile and explaining the situation, or would that not make a difference?
Would they be atleast willing to continue letting you pay what's left of the phone?

They won't unblacklist an IMEI. Once it's blacklisted you're screwed unfortunately.
That's unfortunate.
As I hope I don't get on the same boat you're in, I too purchased a Galaxy S3 off Craigslist, so far everything's fine.
I've spoke to a T-Mobile rep and the IMEI seems clean, they've added a note on the date I purchased it and was transferred to my account.
I'm still scared what happened to you can still happen to me.
OP, to be honest, your idea sounds like it'd work, although it's on you and you have to know it's not the "right" thing to do.
Just unlock it someone using att or straight talk with att sim, save difference.and buy a new one u dont have to worry about being blacklisted,

What don't I understand about this?
The owner stopped paying his bill?
He was paying your cell bill while you use the phone?
I don't get it.
How many times is this gonna happen. first of all 350 is pretty cheap to sell a phone like this so u should beware of potential fraud. This is why I never buy anything on craigslist there is no protection whatsoever and tmobile needs to take more responsibility and drop customers who do stuff like this

The original owner bought the phone on contract and stretched the payment for 20 months, he sold the phone to OP, the original owner stopped paying his phone bill, T-Mobile blacklisted the phone.
So the original owner probably bought the phone from Wallmart for $200 without needing to go the rebate route, just extending their contract and then turned around and sold the phone for $350 making a quick $150 profit on a legitimately $650 phone. Lame ass fraud there to begin with if you ask me.
Basically you can change the IMEI but the legality of that is unsound or you can just go with another carrier like ATT or whoever else uses sim cards in their phones.

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

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.

I know there is an option to buy from ebay, but I am just afraid of being scammed.

If I can find another online store that sells 440, I guess I won't hesitate
buy from costco then cancel the contract after 14 days and pay the ETF. It'll be cheaper than buying from AT&T outright.

if u go to a cor store...a real att store not a dealer location they'll sell it to u no problem without service. dealer locations like ms wireless and parott only sell with upgrades and new lines cuz they r typically pure commission. cor reps still get hourly pay so if u wanna just walk in, bye, walk out, it should be quick and easy
U could buy it on swappa on the xda site.

I wish that were the case. I was able to buy the first one with a bit of persuading. But I returned it only to have the price drop 110 dollars so I bought the 2nd one. 3 different stores said it was against policy to sell without service plans. I called Customer service and they said the same thing. Who knows. But Just FYI they may be getting ready to stop selling the phone altogether . I had to purchase a 3rd due #2 dropping and shattered the screen. It rang up for 400 dollars.

interesting the only time ive ever had an issue buying out right was at Verizon several years ago.
They must had had a glitch, that phone should had been 439 plus tax. But I wouldnt complain at $400! haha.
So they are supposed to let you purchase the phone full retail with signing up for even a go phone plan?

saying you wanted it without service is probably why they didnt sell it to you. most sales reps r shady and sharks...i know cuz i used to be one. i used to see my coworkers bold face lie to customers sometimes if they didnt wanna do something that didnt make them any money. since you wanted just the hardware and no service they werent getting jack from you at all and just said they couldnt even tho its not a problem at all
Did you try the swappa.com link in the forum? Several for sale there.
