I want to buy this phone, but I am wondering where are people getting it from since it's shipped from China I guess, just like a mint one from eBay or new from some Chinese site or what?
I got my from banggood.
Now i also can buy it from amazon(.de) too.
Just search for it. I mean you still saw one in ebay.
I got mine from TradingShenzhen. Took around 3 weeks but it was worth it, got a nice Chinese edition with 6/128. That's not available in Europe.

Ya true, I just mean like trusted sites or ones with better pricing that are not scam sites. eBay has not always given me the best electronics so it's always good to get some ideas.
Never Msrp is a good store to follow in ebay, and the shipping has options. I purchased the 4GB Ram 64GB global variant and other phones too in the past from them without problems.

Hi guys,
I'm looking at buying a Galaxy Nexus sim free soon and was wondering if anyone knew of any deals around now.
At the minute I have found the cheapest to be Play.com at £340.
Using a website called TopCashBack I am able to get 4.04% back on my purchase which would make the total cost of the phone a little over £326.
Although I have found better deals on eBay and Amazon merchants, a lot of these seem to ship from Hong Kong which is something that I would like to avoid at all costs.
Thanks for any replies or help with this matter.
Mike.

That looks like a bargain off of play.com for a new UK phone from a reputable seller. I just got mine last week and ended up buying a used one off ebay for £220. I didn't see any that were new from the UK that would beat £326 when I was looking. The £330 ones off of amazon marketplace seem to be asian devices.

I have seen their website before but don't like the fact that they operate from Hong Kong.
Although their prices are cheaper I have read enough reviews to make me order from Play.com
Thanks for the suggestion though

The amazon.de offer was more like £300 after delivery costs and you have the disadvantage of dealing with a foreign retailer (the UK site won't support the purchase).
Hi, I'm Selling my new Note 4 on Ebay and I need some advice listing it.
In forming my listing, I typically look at past successful listings and see how they worked their ad. I have noticed ad that claim to be "factory unlocked".
Can somebody explain this to me and also give me any tips on getting top buck for my listing?
I thought these phone were locked.
I can provide a photo of the label on my box.
I'm thinking on a quick 3 day sale so someone can get this in time for a Holiday present.
This is a typical listing that confuses me:
NEW FACTORY UNLOCKED Samsung Galaxy Note 4 SM-N910V 32GB WHTE Verizon GLOBAL GSM
http://www.ebay.com/itm/GREAT-FACTO...1313163018?pt=Cell_Phones&hash=item43d39e1b0a!
verizon's LTE phones are all sim unlocked
thats prob what they mean.

I've had much better luck selling on my smartphones on Swappa. It's your choice, but Swappa just seems to attach more serious buyers and has a reputation for better protecting the seller and the customer. You'll also get a better idea of what smartphones similar to yours are selling for.

Thank you for your reply!
So does that mean I can truthfully say in my ad?
" Factory Unlocked To Work With Any GSM Carrier * OverSeas"
Another vote for swappa. Sold my phone there in a day (and most of them are if you are reasonably priced)
no crazy ebay fees.......
Just list your phone with the model # and a good description. You will do fine.
I sold both iphone 4 and galaxy S3 and started bidding at $1 with a buy it now that I felt was a little over average. Both sold on ebay in less then 3 hours, buy it now instant pay.
use craigslist.
too many scams with paypal dude...
people will buy and say it never got delivered.
i only sell on craigslist, but never buy
Swappa did not work for me. Had 2 people buy the phone but neither could pay for it. Had to relist each time. Finally gave up.
Some great feedback here, thanks guys. Its on swappa for two days then I'm moving it over to fleaBay.

On ebay, you'll pay like $60 in fees on a $600 ending price.
So $600 on ebay nets you $540. You can lowball on Swappa for 575, lose $10 to swappa, pay shipping yourself, maybe $15, and still come out ahead despite an initial $25 lower price. Just something to think about.
Hi,
I would like to buy this phone and get it shipped to the UK. I know about the lack of some UK bands and I am happy with it in my area. I have seen it on ali express and geekbuying but have no experience as to buying a phone from there and what import taxes they hit. Where would you recommend I get one?
I have sene it in a couple places:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Xia..._6&btsid=47921e20-e42d-4dc6-a153-d53e0513952a
http://www.geekbuying.com/item/Xiaomi-Mi-5S-4GB-128GB-Smartphone---Gray-372738.html
I am assuming this phone is out yet? or are these just suppliers saying it wil eb a long delivery as they havnt got it yet?
Chris
Check out oppomart. They ship from EU so there shouldn't be import charges. $20 for shipping. They seem to have the best prices
Thanks, that does look like decent prices. Shame the grey isn't available yet. Have you used them before?
No haven't used them
I used oppomart to preorder the Redmi Pro.
It hadn't shipped 4 weeks after the shipping date published on the site (which also hadn't been updated) and I'd heard nothing from them. This was 6 weeks after I placed the preorder.
They were quick to refund and cancel the order on request though.
I would note that the seller you linked claims "Tariff Free" which may be customs related or may simply mean that it's a handset only (rather than carrier tied).
Top One will cover any EU (UK included) import fees (see here)
AliExpress claims it comes with a 1 year UK warranty, plus they're listed on a few UK cashback sites such as Quidco (7.5% off)
Try eglobalcentral.co.uk. I ordered my note 7 (yes i still refused to give up on it) from there and it arrived safely, very quick and with no custom taxes (their policy also states that they cover the cost of the custom taxes). But just have in mind that they are sending the phones from Hong Kong so if you need to return it or is faulty you have to pay for the posting cost. I also advice you to include mail insurance during checkout just to be sure.
I got my Mi 5 on the way to UK in the Mi Store (in shanghai) . But I have got Mi phones from Banggood and Aliexpress before so they are both good (this was when I was in NZ so idk import charges).

Note 7 will not get any software updates as it's officially discontinued by Samsung.

You ordered a note 7? I think people is stupid. Better do what samsumg said: turn off your phone for your safety.

No one is selling the note 7 now apparently so i wouldn't be able to order it from somewhere as they stopped the production. So when i said 'ordered" it man i meant pre-ordered and arrived on 2nd of September , the day of its release before anyone knew about the faulty batrery. But you are right about it not being safe and because they also restrict it on flights i decided to rerurn it back.
Has anyone been able to find a black/grey varient? All I keep finding is a pre order. Is the black version released yet?
from my searching around all i can find are silver so i think the rest have not been released yet.
Im in the UK and I think I'm gonna order from banggood today
I ordered mine from Geekbuying... was £316 for the 4gb/128gb version but they do take for ever to ship.
I dont mind waiting for slow mail that way you dont get stung with import duty into the UK.

How many days are you looking at?
Ordered Mi5s 64gb for about £255 from banggood. Hopefully shipped on time.
Have you all received your phones by now? And were they with original ROM or customized one?
In particular, anywhere in London? Three stores do not have that in stock in any store (I've called most of them). Is it possible there isn't an actual shop where you can purchase it from?
And what would be the right price to pay? On Amazon UK you can buy it at /Lenovo-P2-Smartphone-Battery-Dual-SIM/dp/B01MFBOXXT (can't post full url unfortunately) for £320, and that is the 32gb version apparently (by looking at the 1 star reviews).
Any advice please?
Thanks
Can't you just order it online from Three? I got mine for £200 from them.
Three sell the 32GB storage 4GB RAM version for £199 unlocked with a £10 pay as you go SIM.

Out of stock in the three online store, for the past week... Am I looking in the wrong direction?
It's also showing as out of stock online too:
http://www.three.co.uk/lenovo/p2?featuretab=Six Months Half Price&memory=32&colour=Grey
Try CeX
Its been out of stock at all 3 stores for over a couple of months ive tried at lots of places to buy a second one for a friend. the 3gb variant they are selling on amazon and ebay are a different model version and they are ripping people off selling it for £300 or even more.. And today at a 3 shop locally the manager told me they have now discontinued the p2.
Hard to find now. The price was too good at £200. It's been out of stock for ages. I ended buying up buying it on ebay. Got the 64 GB (p2c72) variant for £270.

Ok, so I need a Phone before the 15th since I'm going to holiday. Looks like this phone is literally a ghost. My main requisite is a non-ridiculous battery life. I can see that the Moto Z Play could be a candidate then? And if that the case, again, where can I find it in London? Any suggestions please?

Three have stopped selling the Lenovo P2 and have no plans to restock now that the Honor 9 has been released.
.......
Confirmed that Three have discontinued it: https://twitter.com/ThreeUKSupport/status/884442227703001088
Mine died recently and looking to replace, you can buy it from Amazon Germany, France and Italy - but it's around £270 for a p2a42. At £200 it was a no brainer, but thinking now I may wait for snapdragon 630/660 phones.
Three back in stock today.

Great, I waited 3 weeks for it to be back in stock and then Three support told me it was discontinued, so I ordered one with a broken screen (the guy dropped it straight after opening it, everything is still in the box) off ebay with a case for £109 and ordered a new screen from china for £88 with the tools to install it. And now they get it back in stock. ****ing grade-A support from Three.

Damn, that sucks. Maybe you can take it as a learning opportunity on how to fix/replace the screen. If it goes well, you could even sell it for a slightly lower price as used. Then buy a new one (to get the warranty).
when you choose tariff plan it says out of stock ...
The weird thing is that I have been checking the three site for stock over the last week and on Friday night it accepted an order for the P2 on PYG.
Just got to see if it turns up now...
I have spoken to three on the phone (~ 1 week ago) and they said they aren't expecting any more stock. They told my insurance company the same. Don't know if that is just the operator telling me that though.
You can get a p2a42 from amazon Germany for £270 though, which is what I did.
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.
