I really love this particular model. My main one is on the fritz.
Where can I buy a new or refurbished one at a decent price these days?
Worth trying eBay? I don't know about elsewhere, but in the UK Argos regularly has refurbs on there for about half the price of new ones.

I would recommend Swappa. I've bought &sold a ton of devices from there and I love it. I was actually looking on there this morning for a Nexus 7 also. All my Nexus devices have come from Swappa. Give it a try!

Cool site. But for the prices of a used N7 2013 I could get a refurbished Asus Zenpad S 8.
I remember a couple years back I got my N7 32 GB refurbished for around $140.

So I moved onto the Atrix and have a brand new Tilt 2 that I pretty much want to sell and seeing as AT&T is selling this phone for damn near $600 what would be a good price to get a fast sale for this?
I was looking to sell for $350....
Any advice

Check eBay, you will see you can buy brand new "AT&T Tilt 2 New" in the box for $249 - $349, so you'll never sell a used one for $350. You may see some used ones on there as well to get an idea of price for a used one...
My Tilt 2 is brand new I got it from insurance before I upgraded to the Atrix, but $300 to $350 seems to be the norm

I would advice you to go no higher than $200. Even if it is new from insurance, they generally send out refurbished devices for warranty replacements now. AT&T and Sprint are the only US carriers still offering the device brand new. It is an old device now. Also, it's generally nice to offer the devices at a lower price on XDA in order to contribute a bit to the community. Offering it to chefs for a low rate is also another good idea. Some chefs don't cook for certain devices anymore as they don't have the device anymore for whatever reason. These are all of my suggestions.
My old first gen Nexus 7 has the dodgyist usb socket ever. So I'd like to replace it with a Nexus 7 (2013 model) because it has QI charging. Has anyone had any luck lately buying a new UK or EU model Nexus 7 32gb in the UK? Or does anyone know of any legit online shops selling them? And yes I know this is a long shot & yes I have used google.
BT shop. Looks like it's the last one.

In the last 3 months I've bought 3 from Cash Converters and 1 from Computer Exchange.
All of them have been around £100 and in practically mint condition. All four are going strong with no issues. If you want that piece of mind, buy from Computer Exchange as they give you a 1 year warranty. :angel:
I cant see any reason in buying this tablet for £238 new on the BT website. If it was 2013, £238 wouldn't be a bad deal. 2015 on the other hand, hell no.
I got mine from Asda in the black friday sales, they still have them in the two big Asda stores near me. The sale price was £140 but they usually sell them for £200

Just got a refurbed 32gb wifi version from Dabs.com for £120 in perfect condition (small marks on the box but that was it.) arrived pretty fast too. they also sell new for £200+
Not bad. How long is your warranty

Sadly it was only the 16gb model they had.
Pretty sure argos still have them, that's where I got mine from last year, I don't really recommend buying from there if your the kind of person who breaks stuff a lot tho, since you can't take it back unless it's faulty
Is there anywhere that has the Nexus 5X in stock in the USA? I can't find one anywhere! I know Google discontinued them. I seen them cheap on Amazon a while back but missed my chance. I'm only interested in a Brand New, Sealed, H790. I can find H791 but those are international. (GSM Only)

I forgot about Swappa. I ended up pulling a new in box sealed Nexus 5X 32GB Carbon Black for $280 on eBay. I think that was a pretty decent price. I remember seeing them for $240 when they were being discontinued but not sure if they were 32gb or 16gb.
I sold my Moto Nexus 6 for $300 so it works out. It was flawless, replaced the Mid Frame, Battery, and Rear Cover with OEM replacements before I sold it. ($30 in parts)

Lets hope you dont end up with a Nexus 5X that has the bootloop issue. May want to call LG when you get the device and double check the build #/IMEI to make sure.

I didn't come across the Bootloop issues info until after I purchased it! I was scared to update it to 7.1.1. I did though, I have had zero issues so far! Everything is working great. The person I bought it from said that their original had the Bootloop issue and Google replaced it for them. That is the one they sold me. They listed it the day they received it, box was definitely sealed! I would hope that Google sent them an "updated" replacement. The phone was shipped to them from Google less than a two weeks ago.

I just got my board on the phone replaced by LG. So far, its working fine and I'm back on current version of PureNexus Rom 7.1.1
If your phone has been refurbished, you should be fine, but there is no guarantee. I'm only telling you my experience and opinion with my phone.
Good luck and enjoy!

If mine was refurbished, they definitely used a brand new housing and display. It was factory sealed in the box. The build date said 10/15, but there was a new sticker covering the old one. Hard to explain.
So I have been looking on EBAY and there are only a handful of sellers. Anyone seen it for less than $1,086?
Brand new phone if you find it cheap anytime soon plus let me know

Yep, lowest $96something. There was one for $94omething but they sold quick... Ended up getting mine for $975 or thereabout.
I have a brand new one that I haven't even taken out of the box. I'm about to send it back to Samsung. Got all caught up in the pre-order hype, but finally decided it was too big.
does any website still selling Mate 20 X - 8/256G 4G version... ??
please let me know the link...
Networks here in the UK only have the 5G model in stock.
The 4G can be found on eBay but most are pre-owned. The few brand new ones are very expensive, they cost more than the 5G model. I spent a long time looking for a reasonably priced new 4G but couldn't find one.
I've just received my 5G yesterday and I'm really pleased with it so far.

thank you, maybe 5G version is the last hope... if 4G isn't available anymore.. I am not satisfied with Aliexpress... could see lots of complaints and the Vendor is not responding to messages.
let me dig eBay for some time if the vendor responds... I will try to salvage any new item left out there...

@SivasankarC
You're welcome, I hope you have success getting a good deal on the model you settle on. What country are you in?
Mine is the 8 / 256GB 5G version, that's the only model the UK networks have now, the 4G is a much earlier release.
I did a lot of researching over the last few weeks trying to get the 4G, but of the few brand new ones I saw the cash price was way too high.
There's no way I'd invest a big chunk of my cash in a phone from outside the UK, if there were any subsequent faults I'd imagine I'd be pretty much screwed regarding the vendor sorting it out. So I never bothered looking at Aliexpress or international sellers on eBay. You saying the vendor isn't replying to your messages is a typical scenario I'd rather not be in.
Initially I preferred the 4G above the 5G, mostly because of the larger battery, but I believe the smaller 4200mAh should still see me through a typical day's use.
And whatever model you get I'm sure you will be impressed with the big screen, it really is awesome!
I'm in exactly same situation. Really want the 4g version but can't find it anywhere. Except eBay used items. I should have bought it on Amazon when I had the chance 6 months ago....ahhh.
the only what i found Available Soon

Whats wrong with used?
Thanks for the feedback guys. I am not very keen on used. Simply because I would rather a new device with 100 percent battery health. I plan on using this one long term. At least 2 years.
I have bitten the bullet and ordered one from a third party Amazon seller. Looks new. Got it for £499. Looks like it was the last one too as no more available now. Should be with me in few days. Can't wait!
Huawei discontinued the 4G model long time ago around time the 5G model released.
I really love this 4G model and want to get another one as backup.
If huawei released the 4g model in 2018 then a 5g model in 2019 hopefully theyll release an updated version for 2021, fingers crossed. Its possible that the black shark 3 pro is enuf to attract the attention of huawei to compel it to make a 2021 model as an answer to that competition with same screen proportions as its previous models. Again fingers crossed.
Just got my brand new 4g model today. Factory sealed. Very impressed so far. Typing this on my new 20x! It is a monster. Two handed phone for sure. Gonna be putting it through its paces next few days.
