Hello ladies and gents.
I got a quick question, but first a little back story...
I owned a Droid Incredible for a few months already.. *Oct.2010 however it got stolen a month ago.. I have retrieved the phone already.
While I was at my Apartment...my phone fell and it's broke... screen shattered..case dinged up.. and now I have a beat up paper weight..
My local carrier which I bought the phone from are all out...and they asked if I wanted a Fascinate...I like the phone.. but I am so used of the Dinc with so many things I did with it.. I've grown to love it....
My question is this...
Where can I get one..I've looked on Ebay.. I would like at least "like new" condition.
I've google searched and I've came across some for a decent price.. but these online "stores" either have not seller ratings or what ever....
I am no noob at buying stuff from ebay, but the stuff I've bought were either BNIB stuff or some after market hop ups for R/c Cars...
Please point me in the right direction.
I am starting to hate not having a phone to tinker with.
*If this is in the wrong section pls move it to the correct one.kthx.

eBay is the best place.
Buy from a seller who has more than 50 ratings and you are almost positive to get exactly what you are expecting to get.
They would lose more money by getting a bad rating than they would selling you a messed up product.
That -and- the fact eBay has buyer protection, though it is a pain to work with.
Make sure it has a clean ESN if you are getting used.
Thanks anybody else..
I have a post in the marketplace pm me
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
you can try swappa.com
Craigslist -> cellphone section
Just make sure you call verizon when your about to purchase or beforehand, and check if the ESN is reported stolen. If not then your good =)
I got a "like-new" Dinc from verizon a month ago by accident when they were suppose to send me a brand new one because of warranty. They never billed me for the "like-new" phone, so I have an extra one. I'll sell it to you for $350. PM if interested.

You can go to http://www.repairsuniverse.com/ and just buy the parts you need and replace it yourself. Much cheaper than buying a whole new phone.
And $350 for a like-new phone ... he could get a like-new one on eBay for much cheaper.

I have no clue if the phone is dead.. it starts up though... anything after that.. is just a guess.
Thanks for the suggestion.. I will inspect the phone and see what I think can be repaired..

True... and I can't get it from wirefly if without contract.. My zip isn't recognized... as a valid area...
Honestly, if you don't want to go through Verizon- eBay is your best choice.
Most people and companies who are looking to sell devices sell them there instead of creating an entire new website to sell them on.
But I think you don't like eBay very much so I won't push it anymore

So the glass front is cracked and im guessing the actual amoled screen is broken also? You feel it vibrate when you turn on but nothing after that?
If that is the case this is what you would need
Digitizer - http://www.repairsuniverse.com/htc-incredible-droid-glass-touch-screen-digitizer-replacement.html
Bezel - http://www.repairsuniverse.com/htc-incredible-droid-front-housing-bezel-replacement.html
Screen
AMOLED - http://www.repairsuniverse.com/htc-incredible-droid-lcd-screen-replacement.html
SLCD - http://www.repairsuniverse.com/htc-incredible-droid-lcd-screen-replacement-slcd.html
You will also need to get tools that will be able to remove the screws on the phone. I personally got this, has exactly what is needed plus so much more for a great price.

If you do it that way just watch this video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MugUYhtP0_o
It shows you everything you need to know on how to take apart the incredible.
If that isn't what is wrong with the phone, well at least you know what to do if you do just crack your screen lol.

wow..
I may do this.. It does vibrate.. and the home buttons on the bottom light up...
The actual red part of the phone the bottom left is dented somewhat..
Swappa or Craigslist
Honestly...
If my phone is beyond repairable.. then I am not gonna try and get these parts.. but I like the idea that it CAN be done.
I've dealt with electronics stuff before.. e.g Full Blown Water Cooled Computer.
I am not afraid of EBAY.. it's just that... these kinds of purchases e.g phone purchases..through the *bay.. is luck of the draw I guess.

If it does that then i'm 99% sure you can replace the screen, digitizer, & bezel, and you will have a working phone again. It def turns on, with that vibrate means you can at least get into the bootloader. So you can download this file
http://www.fourty.net/~berzerker/stockstuff/PB31IMG_3.26.605.1_RUU.zip
rename it PB31IMG.zip, put it on the root of the SD card, boot into the bootloader, run the update, and this will return the phone to a completely stock 2.2 as if you bought it from VZW.

Yeah, eBay can be iffy. But if you do go that route, just look at the feedback percentages and the comments. Any recent negatives and move on to the next seller.

Thanks..
Hmm... That is the best words I've heard in a while.. that it's almost 99% a possible fix.
Let me describe what happens when I "turn it on"..
It does vibrate like usual when it boots.. however.. I can't see much.. haha..
The day it broke.. the screen would light up showing the splash screen as well as other parts.. but with cracks.. I've never seen a phone this jacked up before..
That's about it.. If in fact this is a good indication that it is in fact fixable.. I will ordering the parts ASAP... and have it reconnected..
Question.. with the impact the phone encountered..with the "motherboard" be so much affected to where the actual innards are shot.. say..the gps stuff.. or the accelromater *I know spelling is off.. haha..
I am hoping this all goes well and dandy...
Thanks everyone.
Thought I'd post this in case anyone in the Greater Vancouver Area (Canada) might want a dock at a discount. The Metrotown Bestbuy has at least 2 more for $49.99. Might be on sale at the other Bestbuys, but I don't know. The sale price tag was printed on the 27th, and I bought it yesterday. There was no posted end date for the sale. Who knows, maybe they're trying to get rid of them.
I wasn't planning on getting one, but I wanted another adapter for work and when I saw this, I figured I could take the stock adapter to work and use this at home.
Now that I have it, I actually like it quite a lot. Besides Webtop, it has a second mode just for viewing pictures, videos, and playing music. Comes with a small remote just for that mode.
Works well with my DiNovo keyboard in webtop. Also neat that it becomes a kind of touchpad/keyboard if you don't have any input devices at hand.
And for a phone to be able to do flash over my 1080p tv and do it quite smoothly is pretty impressive to me.
I'm actually much more tempted to get the lapdock after playing with this.
you have a link? maybe its in the flyer for your area? i just checked bestbuy.ca and its listed at 99.99.

No, it's neither posted on their website or anywhere else that I saw. It was just by chance that I happened to be there. The yellow price tag on it says something like, "49.99 - 50% off original price of $99.99". This is why I don't know whether the other Bestbuys have it on sale, since it isn't posted.
Since I only saw two at the Metrotown one, if you want it, I'd suggest you go as soon as possible.
*edit*: Ha, oops, I just noticed you're in Ottawa, so obviously you're not going to go as soon as possible...
I bought 1 and there is still 1 left at this particular Best Buy (Burnaby Metrotown).
i just picked one up yesterday, the sales rep was surprised to see it on sale too. thanks maledyris

Nice! So I guess that means it's on sale across the country. I find it kind of unusual that they don't advertise it, either in the flyers or on the website.
Hi guys, I'm selling my lapdock for the Atrix. I bought it brand new during launch day at around $300 when bundled with phone. The lapdock is in perfect condition - Never dropped, scratched or put any kinds of drinks near it.
To be honest i've only used my Lapdock for a total of around 40 hours, i was working on a Windows Conversion for the dock but since I'm a Game Designer and I'm starting to get real serious with a project, i need to let go of it and get a real Laptop...i really like this lapdock its very light and very useful (especially after what Sogarth did with his mods).
I currently see onit priced Amazon, Ebay, and a few other sites that sell it for $200 as the lowest. I'm trying to sell it for $200 if possible.
Shipping to 94607?
Sure, that's not too far.
If you both can't make a deal, i am interested to buy this as well. However would you ship internationally ?

Someone created a thread to sell a laptop he bought new and has used. People that are viewing the thread see someone else point them towards a refurbished unit from AT&T, as though to suggest it's better to go there than buy from the person who created the thread. AT&T refurbished units are a crapshot, you don't know what the previous issue was. They have no bearing on the OP's thread and is a full-on c*$kblock, if you will.
Tried PM'ing a couple of times but aint working! Will give 200 providing shipping to Melbourne Australia is not too expensive. PM me if you can
why the mods havent come in yet i dont know but this isnt the buy&sell section
OSNPA, are you suggesting that it would be better to keep an unwitting Atrix user in the dark, letting him or her purchase a used lapdock for around $35 more than the cost of an "officially" used lapdock, just so the seller will not be offended?
It's called market competition. An informed consumer living in the U. S. with the opportunity to purchase a refurbished dock from ATT would never pay more and wait longer for one unless he or she were doing the seller a favor.
To put it simply, if the seller intends to sell this dock to an ATT customer, he or she will have to lower the price or take advantage of someone's ignorance. In my opinion, it would be bad form to keep a consumer in the dark and just sit back and snicker as you watch a transaction (or in this case, a rip off) transpire. But hey, at least the seller didn't get his feelings hurt AND he made more than what he should have.
Fortunately for the seller, not everyone has access to a refurbished lapdock, specifically our friends overseas, and $200 is quite a bargain in that market. I think everyone has a chance to win in this situation, and to me, it seems like bad form to try and prevent this ideal scenario -- one in which no one feels cheated.
I don't mean to attack you, OSNPA, but I'm trying to understand what you have to gain by trying to foster a market on these forums in which the lapdock is kept at an artificially high price. Are you trying to sell one yourself? Anything to help me understand where you're coming from would be much appreciated.
To the seller, I think you will have no problem selling the dock for $200. (I would not have started so low.)
To anyone who does not have access to a refurbished lapdock, this price is almost impossible to beat.

Refurbished means it was broke...that means it will eventually break or have problems. mine looks like its from the assembly line.

That's actually not true. Refurbished is anything that has been brought back to factory specifications and tested to be working. Yes, some of these are broken units that have been repaired, but MANY others are just returned within the 30-day return period, especially for a once $400+ item like the lapdock. Mine also looks like its from the assembly line. More knowledge here: http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/devices/buy-refurbished-phones.jsp
I'm sure yours looks great though so happy selling!

Well, if customers are uninformed on the price of refurbished lapdocks when there's a thread dedicated to it in this very sub-forum, well I have no pity for them. It's a consumer's responsibility to educate themselves. He's not selling a refubished unit, it is not the same situation, so the prices should have no bearing on what the OP asks. Regardless of whether money is involved, think of it this way: a developer releases a ROM and the 1st response to that thread is another developer saying that he also released a ROM and go to this other thread to read all about it. You may like that idea, I don't know, to me it's a wtf moment.

Disclaimers: I don't know anyone in this thread, I am not selling or buying a lapdock, no animals were harmed in the making of this post, and I am not responsible for you bricking your phone. I just ask the opposite question as you: why is the OP not allowed to sell his lapdock for whatever the market pays?
whew...so getting back to the lapdock will you ship to canada Hey dude get what you can for it..cheapest here in Canada that i can find is $300 +

So I really wanted to get a gnex like REALLY BAD. So I picked up a used iPhone 4 on my local cl for 250 which happened to have a unlock able baseband, which I unlocked,then buying a few cases for it sold it on eBay for 415. Then in turn found this bad boy on eBay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/23073326862...NX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_1958wt_982
The only thing is that it has a Knick on the bottom corner...and the desc. Says a few light scratches but I don't mind.
So.... I BOUGHT IT!

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
Sorry, been wanting it reall bad so I'm kinda excited, was not wondering if I should get it, I was wondering if y'all consider it a bargin
Good luck and let us know how it comes out.
I guess I am a little reluctant seeing as they say the phone works, but yet they do not have a picture of it actually on in that listing.
weird.
I am going to go out on a limb here and make a wager. $10 Internet Dollars the phone is either reported lost or stolen when he tries to activate it.
I bought my Galaxy Nexus from eBay for $600 about 2 weeks ago. It has a minor scratch mark at the bottom of the phone. Other than that, It's in a great condition. Your seller has a good rating, so there's a good chance that the phone you bought is legit. If your scratches are minor to you, then $533 is a good deal. When I was looking for a GN, the biddings usually end at around $625 - $650.
Hey guys, I've been trying to find the Griffin Powerdock for our phones, but it has been out of stock for months and I haven't seen any recent posts about its status. Does anyone know where I could still get one of these? I thought I saw a post or two about it being recalled due to an issue, but didn't see any real consensus on if that was true or not. Any help would be awesome!

Bump for replies
I asked Moto customer service for an ETA on the Powerdock a couple of times and got nothing. I was lucky enough to catch one for sale on Ebay.
You can buy mine off of me. I don't use it anymore as my OtterBox case prevents the phone from docking with it. I should still have the original packaging as well
I picked one up at the end of March when it was on sale. I just took a look on Moto's site and it shows in stock. Here is the link:

Yeah. Just realized you were talking about the Powerdock. You can try one of the ones from RND Power Solutions. I've heard good things about it. Here are links to 2 different models.

They were in stock at their normal $39.99 price, but I didn't have the spare cash last month. Now they're gone. Not out of stock. Just gone. So, I'm in the market for two (home and work).
I just ordered one off Amazon, but it was from a new seller with zero feedback. If this were Ebay, I wouldn't have bothered, but Amazon's policies are very customer friendly, so it's worth the risk to me.
If anyone else wants to part with their (gently) used dock, let me know and we'll work something out. I do NOT have a PayPal account anymore as I've divorced myself from PP/Ebay, but I can send/receive money through Venmo/Square/Google and possibly others.
