Selling my Galaxy Player 5.0

Hey guys I have had a lot of fun with the Galaxy Player Community and I would love to say thanks to all the great developers like Rueben, tsunura, and Supermaster who have put out amazing ROMs and have been overtly helpful. But the time has come and I need to move on. I was really hoping to assist or independently develop a ROM for you guys before this event happened....But less fate had other plans...
Anyway as the title says I will be selling my Galaxy Player, and if any of you are interested here is the ebay link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/140808670010?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649
However, fear not I will still be hovering around the Galaxy Player Forums and assisting you young lads and maidens in your quest for technological development. And if the time is right, I will put out at least 1 ROM for all of you to enjoy.
Anyway I would just like to thank all of you in the Galaxy Player Forum, you all have been amazing....Thanks
Good luck glad you enjoyed my ROM

you do realize you will be lucky if you can find someone to give you even half what they are going for now, unfortunately any non-apple device is typically unknown and ignored and no one these days will come anywhere near retail, hell i've got stuff (car performance parts) on craiglist for half what they cost new and the few emails I get people are only offering half that number.

I picked up a Used-Like New Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 from Amazon.com Warehouse deals on 07/09/12
for $148.03. When I received it it looked brand new in the box. They had 2 other devices listed in the same
condition at that time for the same price. I just checked again today and they have another one listed as
Used - Like New for once again $148.03. What is strange they have another one listed in the same condition
$189.05. And many listed as Used - Good or Very Good in the $179-$185 range.

I'm including some extra cables and an invisible shield full maximum which was $20 dollars so if the price range is $179-185 the price of the invisible shield bumps it up to $199-205. So if I offer it at the price you gave I will basically be ripping myself off, considering I have the invisible shield and other extras.

good luck with that. Bestbuy just told me on thursday that they are no longer price matching phones. Wouldn't price match for amazon wireless price. Said it came from corporate office.

That is weird. Best Buy price matched the amazon $149.99 price last week when we bought them. Also Endadget posted today that Best Buy was going to match online retailers permanently. The article specifically mentions Best Buy Mobile and cell phones, and even mentions price matching Amazon.

From what I read online, they will only pricematch online-only pricing if you buy from their online front. But when I was in store just this evening, they told me they dont really care and pricematch everyone.I got them to pricematch Dell.com and then at the register the guy hooked me up (probably since we talked about rooting for ages) and punched 99.99 in. The manager came over, didnt question a thing, and I got my Verizon Note 2 for $108 lol. Time to load up on accessories!

Good catch. I admit, I just glanced over it.
I go to Best Buy a few times a week. And they always do a great job of price matching. I havent gotten push back on it in a long time. I actually prefer shopping there because of their price matching, especially up to 60 days after purchase!

No indication on how long the price will remain, but Samsung phones have been all weird lately at Sam's Club. I've been watching the GS3 fluctuate from $200 down to 96 cents (Black Friday), up to $150 and now at $99 all within 2 months.
Debating myself to get another one of these and selling it, but not sure if that's a crazy thought.
If you have guys have any questions on Sam's Club lemme know, I've been working at a club's kiosk for 7 months now.

And they only tax you on the sales price 98.88 not 699 whatever.
If anything the sale will last for another week unless it changes today. Most stores received over 20 notes. There was no advertising.

htc droid dna for $15? Whats the catch? (ebay)

so i came across this
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Brand-New-H...0903653540?pt=Cell_Phones&hash=item2ec6ca78a4
Whats the catch... is this a contract (not sure if ebay supports contracts)? is this a fake? is the title misleading and you only get the box?
help me find out what the catch is... no one sells a phone for $15
EDIT: new link (old one got removed and is no longer available, same guy selling and more people are buying...
sketchy
If it's too good to be true... it cost the seller more in shipping from china to us. Also the seller shows no sale history or feedback, even when it states that 51 were sold. Sounds like a scam.

I buy a lot of stuff off eBay, and that looks REALLY sketchy, for a number of reasons. The seller has no prior feedback, either as a buyer or seller, he's sold 52 of them, and nobody has left any feedback on him, even though some of the buyers have lots of feedback, and he hasn't left any on any of the buyers pages. Lots of red flags, but it's only $15, try it, and tell us what happened. :good:
EDIT - The sales jumped from 51 to 60 in the time to type out my message, sounds like a scam.

What does replacing the motherboard in my SII mean?

Hello once again audience,
I have a question and basically the title says it. The repair shop is going to replace my phone's motherboard, so what does this mean? Does the motherboard come with new core components like the CPU and GPU? Because my phone was water damaged, and I would prefer all the key components replaced along with the motherboard so it wouldn't corrode over time. And of course the CPU might have been worn out? I hope my phone's performance would be as good as new...
Thanks
You might as well buy a new phone if he is replacing everything,most likely it will cost more than a new phone if he is to replace everything and there would be no warranty.
Get a new phone. Cheaper and more reliable option. The motherboard IS the whole brain of the phone. You can get an s3 or s4 for basically the same price

But well, you didn't say if warranty/insurance covered your device.

I reread it and he states that the OP can get an S3 or an S4 for basically the same price as the S2's motherboard?? Wtf? here an S2's motherboard is 8k rupees and and an S3 costs 29k and S4 costs 42k I was just stating that it's not like that at all now, and I quoted you because you said something what I was thinking, and what the hell do you mean I was attempting to change what somebody said, I was saying if the S4 costs that less, the sales would go over the roof.
Edit :The sarcasm was meant for the third poster if that's the problem, when I said "like he said" I was actually referring to your statement "if S4 cost same as S2's motherboard, give me 20" which I thought was a good joke.

Right ok.The OP doesnt need clowns like that guy in post 3 saying a s2 mb is the same price as an s4 phone,this is why I posted originally.
Also I wouldnt bother keeping a water damaged phone;as said earlier maybe just about everything may need replaced.
The OP may get about £100 for it on ebay,and if its any help I could possibly sell him a s3 mini for £100.....so he ends up with a working phone with warranty.
I bought the phone for the wife at xmas unlocked for £300,and Ive given her cash to get an iphone5.

There are genuine sellers on ebay like me,or my wife,but we only sell phones that are fully paid for when we buy them.
But if a seller(and theres loads of them) says hes selling because of "unwanted upgrade" then
1.WTF has he got it if its unwanted
2.Means to me hes still got to pay some sort of contract,and if he doesnt pay phone gets blacklisted.
Anyway,I would try a new usb port kit,and if its still faulty,then stick it on ebay.

Research + eBay + Patience = Save Money
I just replaced the motherboard of my S3 for essentially <$40. I bought an S3 on ebay with a broken screen but good motherboard (keywords like 'it charges', 'turns on', 'vibrates', and 'plays sound' come to mind) and swapped it into my S3 in about 20 minutes or so total with great success. The other super important thing is to verify a clean IMEI / ESN number because that lives on the motherboard too {However, I assume you could inject the 'good' IMEI from your old board into the new one with some pain and research. Not ideal.}
Anyway, yeah, the broken phone cost me a tiny but under $100 including shipping and I resold it just now on ebay for $66 including shipping. Big win, as the random tech guy in my town was going to charge me $220 and said it would almost definitely cost as much or close to as much as buying a new/refurb unit. My functionally and cosmetically perfect phone and the fact that my wallet is only ~$34/35 lighter determined that was a bold faced lie.
Disclosure: I do have electronics experience, but not with phones. And this fix was literally about 10 or so small screws and a few adorable itty bitty lil ribbon cable things. Easy day.
TL;DR-- Enter the Google Fu and observe your enemies upon the fields of eBay to fix things for cheap and/or at least know when it's good time to give up :good:
