You need to check the reputation of the seller before you buy from E-Bay.
And even than you are not sure about the quality of the battery.
The best is to buy the original battery recommended by HTC.
Actually, the best thing to do is, whenever you even remotely consider buying something from ebay, have a friend whack you in the head with a brick. There's a reason why the prices on ebay are so low...it's cause 99% of the products are either advertised as something they are not, or the seller is a straight up scammer and won't send you anything at all. Feedback is useless; there are networks of scammers out there who generate feedback for each other that appears to be legitimate.
If I sound a bit disgruntled, I'm sorry, but so far over the past 3 months I've lost over 500$ on ebay and STILL waiting for paypal dispute resolution to take care of it.

......................although; one can always have a great experience, bar the 2 cars I have bought! (Cars were under £200!)
Ebay is good but you have to do alot of research, just received the Seinheiser CX500 headphones.......fantastic and the world is far away due to the quality.........
Will
That's cool...I know I have had SOME good transactions on ebay, but I just hate the fact that when things go wrong they seem to tell you that they will help fix it when they dont...they need to regulate things more, because there are so many scammers on ebay...i would bet my life that there are at least 100 people gettimg scammed right this second
BTW Seinheiser is great..I've tried those and I liked them
For wired headphones though i use Ultimate Ears in ear monitors...theyre amazing but they cost ALOT
I'm trying to some some studio quality bluetooth headphones at the moment with no avail
Ebay
I get just about all of my phone accessories on ebay. Most of the stuff while cheap does what they say. True feedback does not mean much but I have bought all my extra batteris there and saved a lot of money. $ 12 for a battery there compaired to $40-50 eleswhere. I think it is worth a try.
I second surgex0. When stuff goes wrong ebay/paypal doesn't care.
And batteries - I got some 'new' batteries once that were original branded but lasted 20% my store bought batteries did. I'd stay away.

Ok, here is what just happened to my Galaxy s2 today...
And I talked to few stores, but they all told me that they cannot replace only glass, it has to be replaced with display so it would cost me 170 euros, so, is that my destiny or they just want to take as much money they can?
Oh, boy... That gem is bleeding...
I'm from the Philippines and I don't know how much 170 euros cost. But try to weigh the cost, sir. If you think that it's almost the price of a new unit, you're better off buying a new one. But if you think that it's a good deal, then good deal it is.
If you are handy you can try to buy the parts on ebay and replace it yourself, should cost you around half that. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1253969
Fail that, look around, even for dealer replacement that is pretty high.

I just bought a used phone from a for sale site tonight just so I can steel the glass/lcd/digitizer. It really is an easy process to swap the whole unit out, it really only takes about 20 minutes.
Is it Mini Usb or Micro Usb, is there even a difference? Is it a specific type of cord that came with my phone in the first place, or can I pick up any cheapo cord and not notice a difference?
I can't believe I lost it, I still have the wall plugin that uses Usb2.0 or the full sized Usb, I just don't have the cord... Sorry if this is a dumb question but yeah I'm flat broke right now, don't want to have to buy two cords.
Also I'll be going into an actual store to buy it because I neeeeed to charge my phone right now, It's at like 2% battery but turned off at the moment. Would Bestbuy/Futureshop be the place to go, or can I just go into the walmart electronics section and get whatever cords are there? Or should I just get a cheapo cord from Wal Mart and order a better quality one online when I get more money?
Any micro USB cable will do. There's nothing special about one or the other.
I've usually bought them on amazon for a buck or so each. Someone already posted a link in this forum but here it is
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Repla...UOQI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1333654884&sr=8-1
It is $1.90 with free shipping.
If you cannot wait I'd just order that, go to BestBuy and paid their ridiculous $20-30 for the cable, use it, then once you get the one from Amazon, return the one at BestBuy.
I've found BestBuy very useful for getting something to use until my package comes from Amazon or Newegg.

not to sound like a ****, but maybe it's people like you that makes **** cost more for the rest of us. plan ahead and save everyone the trouble.
because I'm unwilling to spend $20-30 on something that costs them about a buck? Their markup is just ridiculous. If they had it reasonably priced, at most $5 it would be a different story. But when they have no employees, they close down the front registers so they can have a full 2 people working on customer service, returns, and checking people out, then 2 more running the entire floor for sales, they do not need that kind of markup, so why pay it.

if you find their price unreasonable, then don't buy it. buying and returning a perfectly useable product is a douche move no matter how you look at it.
My local Staples has a combo cable pack for about $10 with two cables - one mini USB and one micro USB.

They used to have more employees but due to people buying stuff then returning it, they had to cut back.

Great price, fast shipping and high quality cables. The USB cables I bought from them are great quality and longer. I think I punched the 6 footers.
I purchase all my cables from them.

One thing to remember - some cheap microUSB cables possess only the two internal links needed for charging. A true data cable has five internal wires. It's almost impossible to tell from pictures which is which, but generally the two-wire ones are labelled as 'charge only' or something similar.
Caught me off-guard once when trying to connect to PC, didn't know what was up. Turns out the USB connector only had two contacts!
Hey guys. I bought my Prime mid February (C1O serial) and my Wi-Fi is great, obviously GPS is non existent, but I do have the dongle.
Even though I have no problems with my Prime, thanks to a custom ROM/kernel, I'm considering selling. It's mint condition, with the dock. Now I could just start at just below $600 as the asking price, but who would know better than the owners themselves?
What do you think is a good price for the Prime with dock, 10` hdmi cable, and 16GB SD card? The cable was only 3 bucks online, and the sd I got for free, so I won't charge extra for them, just use them to sweeten the deal. I live in Chicago if that really matters.
Any input is appreciated, also suggestions on what to buy (besides the Infinity obviously)

No, I won't lie
But I will just say it it's out of warranty, I don't have to say that I'm the one who made it that way
Seriously if it's a techie that buys it I'll explain. But when buying used electronics on the internet, the last thing I'm worried about is warranty

Sorry, but $600 for a used device with no warranty is too high. I just bought mine new last week from Amazon.com. For the 32gb prime + dock + Sandisk 32gb MicroSD + case for a total of $639 including over night shipping. And with Amazon, if I don't like it or just change my mind, I can send it back where you can't do that when buying from an individual.
Amazon is also selling used ones for $415 for the device + $98 for the dock = $513 total with free shipping. Once again, buying from Amazon, the buyer could return it which I assume you could not offer. So, you would have to beat Amazon's price in order to make it worthwhile. I'd say no more than about $400 including shipping.
Sorry for the bad news - but that's how it goes with electronics. At $400 it would have retained its value amazingly well all things considered.
I was just on Ebay last night checking completed listings for the Prime. Saw that just the tablet alone was selling for about 350-400. Tablet with dock, orig box etc 450-500. Tablet, dock, dongle and/or case sleeve protector accessories i saw 500-550.
looked like the prime is still holding a decent resale price.
It was also amazing how many being sold do not have the GPS dongle.
just don't sell it to best buy... they will pay $110-$120 for it (shows you haw many returns they had)
but...its too bad you never got a square trade warranty with it. I would say reasonable is $375 - $430. obviously if it has a screen protector, perfect condition, etc it'll go for more. just sell it before tf700 comes out because then it will really drop in resell price

Wow..I didn't know that about the used ones on Amazon
As for asking $600, I just meant to start high, so the buyer can negotiate. I know I'm not getting 6.
But see, that's exactly why I posted here. I've bought and sold about 10 devices on Craigslist, and I do reasonably well...so it's not like I need help. But I wanted to get input from you guys, because everyone is selling high on there, and it seems too much to me, and I don't want to be just another overpriced used Prime for sale.
Thanks for the info ratman...appreciate it:good:

Wow lol. That's like selling PS3 games to GameStop You buy a $60 dollar game from them new, and they offer you like $9 for it 2 weeks later. Then you see it being sold used for $50. Haha.
I did consider ST just so that I could destroy it myself come September/October when something else came out. Send it to them smashed and water logged so they'd send me $500. Too late now
$300-$350 and it will move. The price will rapidly drop in the coming months so I suggest you move it now.
You have to consider the fact that even though this tablet is stellar, you have to have a techie brain to use it to its ability, with the Wifi/GPS/browser issues and all. Not to mention, you have the 300 already out and the Infinity swirling with rumors to be released soon.

Ouch, $300-$350 would sting
That's almost half price. But I know what you're sayin.
It's not so much how much I get for it, knowing what it costed me, but more about getting enough to cover my next device. Even though I've got $650+ into it, if my next device costs $375, I'd be glad to sell it for $375. IDK...the only thing out that slightly interests me is the 10" Acer Iconia A700, but it's not shipping till this weekend so no real hands-on reviews yet.
And of course, the Asus/Google tab
So many choices, so little $$$
According to current eBay auctions, the going price for a used Prime tops out at around $400.

I sold my Acer A500 and then bought the Prime. I didn't get nearly what I paid for it (I think I sold it for $250), but when I established the price, it was gone by the end of the week. People can find the tablet for cheap if they really need to. If you want to move it, then drop it a touch lower than everything else on the internet and stand behind your product. Works every time for me.
I've just decided to sell my HP TM2. I bought it for $1050. I want to sell it for $800. I'm going to sell it for $650-$700. It will move.
After looking for a couple of minutes for a current t-mobile accessory coupon(to not avail), I thought there should be a coupon/deal thread for note 3 accessories on here. Post away and help out the community if you find something special.
I had the rep write one a business card the 30% off plus the buy-two-get-one they were offering today. He committed to make good on it when the S-view case came out.
We'll see, but they didn't have anything in print, nor a way for me to find it.

The buy 2 get one free is an everyday promotion that T-Mobile has always had.
I was at a T mobile store today looking for a case but $35 was too much for the tech 21 case they have, and they were selling screen protectors for $25....way too much, no thanks

I'm a former rep, so I don't advocate this but.. I always think it's worth it to grab a case when you purchase the phone-- even if you order another one and return it within 30 days (for refund). You could also buy a case, return it later, and then do a buy 2 get 3rd free, if you're not obvious about it. No system controls in place to prevent that.
Not sure if this is common knowledge, but if you register your device with samsung at http://www.samsung.com/us/support/account (US site link) you get a coupon for 50% off any accessory under 50 bucks, it won't quite get an S-View cover which is infuriating, but it is something! The code is good for 90 days after you register, and is one of the better ways to get a cheap replacement s-pen if you happen to lose those!

You don't have to register a device. Those 50% codes are easily found at the regular coupon code websites. I used one myself recently (rv18623) and got 50% off some accessories. Probably still valid.
Seidio has 15% off today, use FB15 at checkout.
Edit:
Just saw this today and tried to use it but says it'e expired.

Thee 50% off code will be handy, WHEN Samsung actually puts their accessories up. Talk about a company that is so DYSFUNCTIONAL, they just don't have their stuff together. The GN10.1 is out next week and no accessories for that anywhere.
The 50% off anything up to 50 dollars is so stupid since the only case they sell is 59 dollars. I just happened to register my phone and when the email came with the offer I actually got excited for a second, still it will bring the cost of their dash mount down to $25, S-Pen $15.00 as well as chargers, cables etc. Link to accessories: Just search around through other mobile devices and maybe find something else of use to use it on, maybe blue tooth or whatever.

I have been waiting for a battery/charger set from a reputable company to become available. It looks like TrendOn is the first. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LZWPY9O?psc=1 I have never used this brand, but they have a lot of good reviews on Amazon so I am pretty confident that they will work good.
I order mine from there
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-LG-.../131250478881?ssPageName=ADME:L:eek:U:US:3160
It's $57.50
The battery has all Korean characters.
Let us know how it works. And what reviews were you talking about. Reviews on their other products?
Give us your feedback bro
looked around amazon for this brand "trendOn" looks like they have pretty mixed reviews with note 3 and s5 users...
I will certainly let you know how they work. It seems like with the reviews they are mostly real positive. With a few getting bad batteries, in which case I will just return them. And some of the bad reviews are about the charger which we all know is a cheap charger. But all in all, they have more than 4 stars so it is a pretty safe bet that they will be alright. And I get 2 batteries and a charger for less than one oem battery. Plus, it seems that these companies aren't that concerned about how soon they get their batteries to market so I feel good that I bought from the first company to have a good set at a decent price.
Alright, I have had these batteries for a couple of days and they work great. They seem to be as good as any other including the LG batteries. Maybe better. The charger is slow but is better quality than I am used to when buying these sets and it certainly charges fast enough. It charges at 600mA. Someone else put up an unboxing video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gr5VHHCeleY I'm really glad I bought this brand. I doubt there will be any better and they deserve to be rewarded for being first to market. I think Zerolemon said end of September, come on.
Edit: The current price on Amazon is $70. I'm not sure what that is about, cause I got mine for $30.
