where have you guys sold your g3?
Not! I like the G3 to much to sell it!
Depends on your country, craigslist , olx, gazelle, swappa, eBay.

Hi, I just found LG Optimus G Pro on ebay for 500$ , shipped from UK? You think this is genuine and legit version with warranty?
lol
Im not able to send links yet. just look on ebay for : G Optimus G Pro - 32GB - White Black (Factory Unlocked) Smartphone Brand New
thanks
$500 is awfully cheap. If it's a trusted seller it might be ok.

It's this listing:
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/LG-Optimus-G...=Cell_Phones&hash=item1c32e076c2#ht_967wt_963
I'm tempted to buy two, one for myself and one for my brother... but I'm also wary..
I asked the seller why so cheap, this was his response:
Quick info about my items: - 100% factory unlocked, 100% genuine LG Optimus G Pro in original sealed boxes. I have both colors: White and Black. - I have E985, E980, L-04E and F240 versions. You can use them with any sim card. - I have them in stock because the phones are bought directly from factory and also this is the reason why the prices are low. They all have 1 year international warranty. - I can send them with DHL, FedEx, UPS, Royal Mail or your preferred shipping company. The items are sent from my warehouse in Glasgow. - Free Customs. That is right... Free Customs. Not because your customs doesn`t charge ... it`s because i send in such way that you will not pay customs. - As you can see in my description: Pickup is not available at this time as i do not hold stock on hand for security and reliability reasons.
So yeah...I guess he/she is legit, also has 100% rating and seems newish, but has about 457 ratings.
International shipping with no customs doesn't sound legit to me...
I wasn't aware of an E985 version. What carrier could that be from? Also, there's a minimum order of 2 items.
E985 is for India, I think
does anyone know which version would be suitable for europe - UK? - E985?
I wouldn't even THINK of buying a phone on eBay unless the seller had feedback in the thousands with a feedback score of at least 99.8%. Just too risky otherwise.

Well looks like it might have been a scam?
The posting has been taken down:
Item 121112655554 is no longer available.
i wouldnt trust anything coming from england through ebay.. too risky and too many scams from there. trust transactions from america..
the ebay ad sounds too good to be true.. dont trust it. youll be sorry. sounds like a clone. my friend bought an lg optimus g pro on ebay.. turned out it was a clone.
hey guys ive been looking for a new phone and this one seems to tick all the boxes but while looking for info on it ive found that there are a few different versions like f240 and l-04e and e980 and e986 and a few more lol, but im the sunny uk so im not sure if it will make a difference which one i buy? also does anyone have any suggestion where the best place to buy one of these phones from?

I did a lot of research before buying my OGP, as well. Swell device and I am more than satisfied with it. We have a small development community, but just enough to give you a taste of just about everything.
Go for one of the E98X ones. The F variants seem to have an even smaller development community here on XDA. You'd have to rely on Chinese and Vietnamese sites which are dominantly stock-based ROMs.
Not sure where you'd get one as I got mine through AT&T.

Thanks for the advice mate does make much difference which one of the E98X ones I get?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
I don't really think so. Most ROMs say E980 (AT&T variant) but works on all E98X models (I think).

has anyone got any ideas where the best place to buy one of these phones is? ive seen a place called simply electronics but im too sure if its a decent place or not
I just bought a near mint e980 on ebay for $270 USD. Even with shipping I doubt you can do better. Seller is wirelesshut2010.

You could also wait until the swappa.com UK site has one available.

I'm also in the UK and I brought mine of ebay but now it is broken and the seller doesn't care. I would be very careful as the phone will obviously be an import so the warranty will not work in the UK. LG UK will not fix your phone, even if you pay for it. Many online shops, such as simply electronics, may take a long time to ship to you as they may have to get the device delivered from hong kong etc. Also, most of these online shops have none existent customer services and they won't reply if you have a problem. From looking at google shopping, there doesn't seem to be anywhere in the UK who will help you if your phone breaks. However, if you do buy from shops such as simply electronics and value basket, you should eventually receive the product.
Why don't you get the LG G2? It is only £320 on Amazon UK.

All this said, I think swappa.com may be the best place to buy a US model in the UK (if one ever comes up). Swappa is an XDA offshoot and they have a very good system for matching buyers with sellers at fair prices. I just sold a phone there for a little less than I paid for it to someone who didn't seem to know much about what he was buying but it all worked out fine. They do not charge sellers. Buyers pay a flat $10USD. Another advantage is the built in protections of PayPal. I would not hesitate to buy from Swappa, although their prices tend to be somewhat higher than ebay's due to the buyer fee and shipping included in the asking price.
A few (not most) US sellers will ship internationally.
Here's one: LG Optimus G Pro (Unlocked) For Sale - JCP297 - $400 > Swappa - http://is.gd/tLP8aL
F240s,said to be mint. With international shipping will probably cost more. Keep in mind that a locked AT&T e980 is now $370 direct from the carrier. Of course given UK prices this might still be less expensive than ordering locally.

The problem with paying with paypal is that in the uk, if the worst happens, you can get your credit card company (not debit card) to give you the money back, but you are paying paypal, not the seller directly, so you can have problems with getting your money back, especially if the seller is an individual, not a business.
I'm sad that the G3 will not get a bootloader unlock soon. The phone is really great but I can't live without custom roms...
Do you guys have some tips on how to sell my G3 online? (what is safe and what I should be careful about)
I buy and sell exclusively on Swappa. Safest I've found.
I checked swappa but there seems to be nearly no trafic on the EU section, while on the US there are hundreds of people selling and buying.
Over here we sell a lot using marktplaats.nl
Unlock is coming. Be patient!

EBay is where I buy and sell everything. But swappa sounds promising.
Will there be a sudden price drop for lg g3 as g flex 2 with new features has already released galaxy s6 will soon get released which will make G3 look like an older phone??
I am planning to buy G3 by april.
I want to know if it is worth it to buy g3 at that time as g4 would get released soon.

check on sites like swappa and craiglist you might find a bargain .i got mine for 300 canadian new in the box.
the g4 is gonna be about double the price when it comes out unless you get it on contract
That was too cheap.
You were lucky
I saw in a local Fry's Electronics newspaper ad a couple weeks ago the G3 was $349 off-contract/unlocked. It can be found pretty cheap brand new at this point.

I hope it drops. Prices on amazon aren't too bad right now though.
Check out Expansys, most definitely UK, they usually have the g3 at cracking prices. (Where I got mine)
got mine on Saturday from ebuyer for £289 GBP. brilliant phone!
Sent from my GT-I8190 using XDA Free mobile app
You can buy them for like £280~ brand new these days which is an absolute bargain for this phone, doubt it'll go much lower for a 1440p phone with such hardware inside.
i got mine for £300 2 months back on Ebuyer, bargain i think for a phone like this.
So I found a new LG G3 (T-Mobile unlocked) on ebay and am strongly considering purchasing it. I just had my Idol 3 drown in a swamp. I loved that phone.. Anyway, I'm looking for a replacement. I'm kind of torn between the Moto G4 and the LG G3 (that I would root and install a custom ROM). What do you guys think? I would like some feedback from G3 owners. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Moto G's are nice but for the money get the G3...you won't regret
I love playing around with the IR blaster That's something that the moto (even the latest flagships except LG's) doesn't offer.
Also you might want to know that Li-Ion batteries degrade over time. Like in 2 years of use you will have only 50-70% of it when it was fresh. The G3's got removable battery so you can just buy another battery and replace it. Otherwise you'll have to pay to a service for the replacement and the battery itself (in a small country like mine you might get robbed by lets say 60$ for both). I think that you get free replacement once if the phone's got warranty (depending on the policy of the service).
