Looking to sell my Lapdock -$200 O.B.O.

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 ?

Refurbished lapdocks sell for $175.99 with free 2 day shipping from the AT&T website. Mine looked brand new.

Please ignore this post.

shipping to Nova Scotia Canada ?

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 +

very expensive though :S

For that price your better off selling yours on ebay and purchasing a new one for yourself that you know will last......

you could try contacting samsung, it could work out cheaper.

this is why i have insurance. while i rarely drop my phone, it does happen. it hasnt yet, but i know i probably wouldnt spend 300 on a new screen. for that i could buy a different 4g phone off contract.... id go and sell my broken nexus.

Some of us here who purchased in the grey market obviously can't get our phones insured. Easier said than done.

What do you mean by grey market? like craigslist? and thats why i said id by another phone, its a sly way of saying that the screen costs more then some of the current 4g phones do. You could literally buy a Razr off of craigslist for 280... http://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/mob/2770665120.html
I realize the ability to customize the phone is nice, but not at the expense of a small fortune. if you bought it off contract in the first place that at least what 5, $600 already down, then if you replace screen your in it for $900. Buy a razr or the thunderbolt ... or something, then wait a couple months for the next greatest phone to come out and the price of the parts will come down then the screen can be replaced for cheaper.

Seems like the eBay one is an LCD, not Super AMOLED.

That one in the ebay link has the lcd also, which is why it's so expensive. As soon as the digitizers start being sold by themselves (glass screen only), it will be much cheaper.

When they say it's a LCD, it was referring to the actual part of the phone, the "Screen", and not that the screen is using the LCD technology, the galaxy nexus is only available with HD Super Amoled technology for the screen, unlike the Nexus s that has both Super Clear LCD (i9023) or Super Amoled (i9020), if that what you are referring to.

I think it's the same with all Amoled technology, the screen and digitizer are only sold as one, they cannot be purchased separately.

The glass and lcd are fused together. In order to replace one, you have to replace them both.

No pics? Forum rules clearly state that if your going to post that you have a broken screen, you must also post an accompanying picture for proof of the incident and to satisfy those of us that take pleasure in others pain
all joking aside, i hope you are able to resolve this with minimal damage to your wallet (and ego)
this also makes me happy i bought the insurance option from best buy, though i never had to use it for the incredible, i like the idea of no deducible if this were to happen to me.

My screen is broken aswell (from the inside..) so the glass is still silky smooth on the outside.. and the whole screen is black and i can see 5 veins of broken glass on the right hand side of the phone.
But one thought that ive had is.. the 4G and the 3G versions are very different, seen from the back, will this be an issue if i buy a new screen on ebay?

could check out these guys but i dont know how expensive it is
http://www.globaldirectparts.com/SearchResults.asp?Search=samsung+i9250

i found this https://www.gounlock.com/details.php?itemId=7607 much cheaper

I'm on Verizon and I got my Nexus for Christmas.. All of a sudden it started getting this massive crack without dropping it and it's normally the only thing in my pocket. Anyways, I called Verizon and (kindly/politely) asked them if I could add insurance late. It took a while, but it eventually got done. I then paid Insurion a $100 deductible (and will pay $6/month for continuous coverage) and then sent me a brand new phone (with free battery and charger). Granted, I still had to pay $100 and will keep paying per month, but at least my phone will be safe from the little things and $100 is small compared to the other option.
tl;dr: Call Verizon, kindly persist and ask for Insurion late, get new phone

Cracked my screen, no warranty...how much will it cost?

I managed to crack my tablet already . It's just the glass, the tablet works fine and the screen looks and works normally underneath. If I call samsung how much will it cost? Is it possible for me to fix it myself, or is everything fused together?

Sorry to hear that. This is just my opinion but because this tablet is newly released I doubt you will find much on the internet on how to replace the screen on your own, I think you will also struggle to find the parts. Calling samsung would probably be your best bet if you want it fixed now or if you can wait a couple of months I'm sure there will be videos online about how to do it. Hopefully it works out for you mate.

I should have made my point clearer, apologies, I meant that they should give you contact details of samsung aprroved technicians in the area but yes he would have to pay for the service.

Thanks for the replies...I called up Samsung and they said to send it and they'd fix it for 200$..ouch. I'm not sure if that's worth it or not. I'm considering taking it to a third party computer repair shop or just dealing with it until the parts become widely available. It works fine, it's just ugly XD. This all depends on if the price was reasonable. Is 200$ reasonable to replace the glass? If it is I'll just ship it off to Samsung now

Ouch. So then you'd have an $800 tablet. I don't know. Depends on your funds and ability to toss money around.

I think $200 is way too much - I know this is easy for me to say but if I were you I'd wait a while, to put it into perspective the OLD note 10.1 Digitizer costs just $20 and maybe a few tools will cost you no more than $10.
Honestly I'd wait and see if its really difficult or not and then attempt it yourself if you think your capable to do it. I bet there will be videos online of people taking the 10.1 2014 edition screen apart soon but then again if you mess it up you've wasted a $500 device. Also call a few local electronic shops once the Digitizer becomes available on ebay surely they will charge a lot less for labour.
Like I said its easy for me to say all this but obviously you know whats best. Best of luck mate I really do hope it works out.

I purchased it with a prepaid debit card so no purchase protection. I think I'll just take Geordie Affy's advice and wait it out. 200 bucks is a pretty significant amount of money for me. The wait will punish me enough so I'll know to be super careful with expensive new items in the future lol.

Search online for SquareTrade discounts. I got 30% off mine for the GN 2014. If you are within 30 days of your purchase, you can still purchase a warranty, and claim it down the road at some point. That's kind of in the "Grey Zone", but may be your best bet until the parts are easily available.

If I were you, I would get the SquareTrade warranty. There is no way that they would know about any conversations that you had with Samsung. Plus, even after you get this issue taken care of, it will still benefit you to have the warranty to tackle any future problems. They are pretty easy to deal with in my experience.

SquareTrade doesn't care if you ROOT your device. I spoke with one of their service reps, and asked that specifically before I purchased the warranty.

I'm not sure I understand. If you buy a SquareTrade warranty, the warranty is with them. Samsung has nothing to do with it.

You're absolutely right...I'm just being paranoid. I purchased the warranty today. Thanks to everyone for your help!

My tab pro s cracked too, and I have no idea how. Is this screen particularly fragile? Mine shows pitting on the keyboard at the same place where the fracture begins. I'm thinking it might have something to do with the magnet that shuts it. Read on Amazon that someone had cracked theirs twice already and the screen was super fragile. ???

[Q] Shattered my screen...thoughts?

Hey folks,
Dropped my AT&T LG G3 (running on Cricket) on it's side from about 4ft and it hit a rock and chipped the very side of the phone (right side) and now most of the screen doesn't respond to touch (but does display).
I have a few options:
1) Replace screen or rather try to (looks to be about $70)
2) Spend $150+ on a used phone on Craigslist or EBay (might as well put that $70towards a temp phone)
3) Buy a cheap phone from T-Mobile and put my SIM in it...something like this: http://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phones/lg-optimus-f3-certified-pre-owned.html
4) Buy a new phone and upgrade from the G3 (might as well put that $70towards the purchase of a new phone)
Problem is, I was planning to get the G4 when it's released...so trying to avoid spending too much money or specifically number 4 as then I'll be stuck with a new phone that I don't really want. If I buy, say, an S6 and use it for a month...do you think I can recoup all if not most of the money I spent on it? I'd be buying it off contract.
What would you do? I'm a systems engineer, so I'm pretty good with hardware, but from my Googling replacing the screen looks to be more hassle than it's worth. Anyone know of a place I can get a cheap GSM phone so I can at least text/call people?
Thanks!

Nevermind, I think I'm just going to deal with this phone now that I found this amazing app called Mobizen.
It allows me to control my phone in it's full glory from my Windows PC. I can deal with this for a month or so until the G4 is released. AWESOME.

I definitely recommend this. Works with my LG G3 connected via USB (debugging on) flawlessly.

Hahah, snail mail. I'd die, lol.
See my post above though, I found a solution that will hold me over for the next month or so until the LG G4 is released. Works beautifully.

I dont think that digitizer for G3 costs that much. If screen would be compleately kaput then full screen (lcd,digitizer,Gorilla Glass) is about 140eur + work.

id say fix the phone and sell it . you get more money out of it . also g4 will be very expensive at launch .
maybe find a g3 with mb problems and take the whole screen from it .

I ended up buying a screen on EBay for like $65 USD and replaced it myself. The old adhesive isn't holding as well as I'd like so I'll probably redo it eventually, but everything else works perfectly. I'm a systems engineer and have extensive hardware repair experience, but Google/iFixIt made it sound like the job was so much harder. Honestly? It was a f'in piece of cake. I could do it in my sleep.

How does it works after a month or so? Still fine? I'read many of these 65~70$ screens doesn't really have the same quality as OEM, and are less responsive and more "sticky"...

I have the G4 now so I haven't used the G3 in a while. It's at home in another state while I'm working elsewhere, so can't really answer. But in the time I had it, it was fine.

Problem with you HTC10 and need to exchange, You have to make a new order

So my HTC 10 has a yellow tint on the screen at the bottom so I want to swap it out for a new one. Their only course of action is to return the old one and place as new order. Giving them another $640. Now I have tied up $1,200 into HTC. I have to pay for and organize my own return label and I also lose out on the overnight shipping I paid on my original order. They won't overnight me the new order, when they should since its their defect. I really do not feel good about trusting HTC/digital river with another $630 hoping my refund and return goes smoothly. Especially after the launch troubles.
Just wanted to give anyone a heads up about the recourse if your htc 10 has a defect or problem. Only process is to return and place a new order and it will cost you another $10 for over night shipping again. So because they made a defect unit it costs me another $10 to get what I ordered and a good unit. I know the process is usually the same with having another hold on my card but I do not like having to pay overnight shipping again. Might just return and jump ship instead of risking more problems.

Who did you use to overnight it for $10? That's a deal!

No lol HTC.com when I preordered it. They only charged me $10 for overnight shipping and they want to charge me another $10 for overnight on the new order and they arent refunding the original shipping cost so I'm paying another $10 lol.

Fedex isnt bad with insurance i think it was $14 I was actually shocked. I used the dimensions of the box they shipped to me. I still cant believe we have to go out and get our own label and everything. Pay for return shipping and pay shipping again on the new order. Its so terrible.

Oh OK that's not that bad then. Thanks for the info.

I don't think they can afford to send out shipping labels for free.
HTC is bleeding money right now.. according to their latest quarterly

I had to return mine cause the speakers were blown right out of the box. They gave me a free shipping label after I yelled at them enough. I am in the same boat though with having to pay another 600 + shipping and have no idea when they will even send out my order.

I am very surprised at this. You should have a years warranty on the phone. Now for something like the yellow tint, I could see HTC's point and say that was something like users opinion rather than fault. But for an obvious fault like blown speakers, I would argue that definitely falls under warranty and should definitely be fixed / replaced. What did they tell you guys when you said that you wanted it fixed under warranty?
EDIT: Looking at warranty they class it has a limited warranty! Here is the US document and the UK document

Can you post a picture of this yellow tint if its visible in a photo? I am worried that I might also have this yellow tint after seeing your post

​sorry I dont have another camera at the moment. but its def there. I see it a lot on twitter or a white page. Its about a centimeter from the bottom. Yellowish and just not as white as the top. ​
