[Q] Trading in 4G for 3D Question - HTC EVO 3D

Hello, so my girlfriend bought the Evo 4G from best buy about 3 weeks ago because at the time we did not know the release date of the new Evo 3D. So I was wondering if she would be able to take it up to best buy and do a return/ trade in at no cost because the phones are the same price and she is within her 30 day return period. I was not sure if it was just that simple or not so I decided to come here and ask if anyone here has ever had any luck doing one of these switcheroos such as the one we are hoping to try and do?
Thanks for any help with this!

You can return it for the 3D, just got to pay the difference. They will probably give you hassle though, but it is their policy.

I was in the same boot. I was told you could if you return it to the point of purchase. They gave me no hassles at all

Thanks for your reply, im not too sure what you mean by point of purchase though. Does it mean to return it in new condition or to return it to the same store you received it from?

I'm pretty sure he means same store you received it from. Also, I'm not sure if Best Buy charges a restocking fee, but I know Sprint does, so that's something you might want to look into. Sprint's is $35.

Cool man thanks for your response, Ill keep people posted after I goto best buy and reveal what the results were
Also, if anyone is successful doing this then please feel free to post your stories here.
Thanks again.

Just a final update in case anyone was wondering... They exchanged it without any issues (even though her phone was still rooted), they were also able to move her black tie protection and buy back program to the new phone. The phone is very cool btw and she loves it.

[Q] What's the best way to sell my old phone (Evo4G) to pay for my Evo3D?

I'm sure many of you have done this to subsidize the cost of our snazzy new beast.
I have the original box (that awful, terrible egg carton thing) and owner's manual. The device itself is a refurb I got from insurance, since my original Evo4G was stolen.
My biggest question is: since it is rooted, is it best to offer it that way? I guess my question is whether there's any market value to it being already rooted and thus getting more from an eBay auction (unless theres a better alternative to eBay that anyone knows). Or maybe advertise the option of: I can send it to you rooted or if you don't want it that way, I can unroot it for you.
If someone wants it rooted, basically I just need to do a full wipe and flash a rooted stock ROM. If they want it unrooted, I believe I need to unroot first, flash a stock ROM, then turn S-ON (might have that in the wrong order).
I hope this is an appropriate thread for this forum (instead of the Evo4G one) as it would be helpful to other people looking for a way to obtain the Evo3D.
My suggestion to you is Craigslist. Sold my hero a month ago for 100 bucks

I tried to sell mine on Craigslist for 200 but had no offers. Sprint, unsolicited, sent me an offer for 150. They don't want the memory card or charger either.

I sold mine on Ebay for 270 each
Hello,
I sold my 4G for 300 Dollars on Craigslist. I did happen to get a Replacement the week before I listed it. While my original 4G was Rooted, I held off Rooting this one, but did not do the GB Update so that the Buyer would have the option of Rooting or not doing so.
My Upgrade was not supposed to be until September, but I pleaded with Retention and they reset my eligibility. This happened the day after my Refurbished 4G arrived.
I threw in 2 Otterbox Defender Cases, an HTC HDMI Dock, and pointed out the 4G was a 004 Version and was only a week old. I actually received multiple offers and ended up selling to a guy who lives on the same Barrier Island that I do.
I would think it would be best if you could get it back to S-ON and not disclose that it has been Rooted unless someone asks. You could even offer to Root and customize the 4G for the prospective Buyer. It really helped for me as the guy who purchased mine wanted me to Root it, but when he went to Sprint to Activate it he walked out with 2 3VO's instead. I am now trying to help him sell the 4G. I have gotten a few offers around 250, but he wants 300 and I have not exactly killed myself trying to sell it.
Also, I think that sometimes the 4G's Sprint sends out as Recertified are actually new Phones. The one I got sure seemed that way and again was 004.
It helped greatly I sold mine before the 3D's Release. The marketplace has changed since then. There is another Website that offers more than 150 if the 4G is in pristine condition as well. The name eludes me.
Cheers,
JJ
Sprint gives you $150.

I sold my 4G on craigslist for $200 about 90 minutes after I had it posted.
Well, it's VERY EASY.
Sprint will pay $150.00 for your evo 4G in account or store credit. You can either take your EVO 4G to a sprint store, or do it online and ship it to them:
http://www.sprintbuyback.com/
Just did it today at the store and paid only $49.99 for my new 3D!
If it is in good enough shape, I would sell it on eBay... considering I sold a refurbished one with a deadspot on the screen for $200 cash (Fully informed description I might add) You could likely get $250-300 for one in real good condition.
Good luck!!!
Craigslist is probably your best bet if you feel safe using it. Followed by ebay... You could also sell it on these forums which is the choice I took mostly because I wanted my phone to go to someone in the community.

RadioShack gave me $167 on trade for the 3VO. I also traded in my Hero for $50 so had a store credit. I had the boxes and the chargers for both.
I posted my 4G on swappa.com for $250 and it was sold within 2 days. The cool thing is that doesn't matter if you're rooted, people there seem to prefer it. Also if someone is interested, they have the option to buy your phone right away via paypal.

Never heard of it. Is it any good?
We sold ours on Craigslist for $225 each. $0 for the upgrade. Been doing this for YEARS. Depending on how rapidly you are upgrading you can sell them and profit from the sale.

From what I hear, yes. If I remember right, its specifically for selling/trading android phones.
Sold mine for 230 on craigslist. Might have gotten more on ebay, but it'd barely be with it after dealing with the fees and the scammers.
Sold my Verizon iPhone on craigs. Had 10 offers by morning. Sprint would have bought for $220. So there's always a fallback if you want quick cash. Assume EVO 4g should have similar results.

I just got my $100 back from Best Buy. I usually buy my phones from a cooperate store, but I was feeling adventurous this time. I guess for once it paid off for me! Usually it's the other way around.
I bought mine at the corporate store just a week ago I hope I don't have to cancel

BB website has the Photon for $99 with 2-Yr upgrade. Just got back from BB with another $105 in my pocket. After getting $135 trade-in for my Evo 4g, I made money on the deal. For that, no way I'm going to wait for Galaxy S2. Besides, I love the Photon!!

Flat Wrong... I just got the Photon for $99 on the bestbuy website (http://goo.gl/fc02Q) for extending my daughter's contract. She was due for an upgrade. Kept the same plan and options, no changes. Select the phone and it gives you a popup that ask if you're a new or current customer...just follow the prompts.
I also just picked up a MoPho from BestBuy today for $99 on an upgrade.

Well I hate to get rid of my photon but saving 100 is quite appealing.
My wife has an upgrade on her line... I was going to go use her upgrade... I then deactivate right when I left the store then activate it on my line.
Then go take this one back to the sprint store.
Seems like a lot of work for 100... Hmmmm

Glad it's helping! I couldn't get my $100 back (yet) cause they said I was 2 days too late on my 30 day policy, but I'm sickin my Fiancee on em tomorrow! Sick balls, chopper!
Pew! Pew! Pew! From my Mo-Pho!
Just got a refund from Best Buy. Took my receipt to the customer service counter, said that I saw the phone for $100 less, and asked if I could get the difference back. She refunded the $100 no questions asked.
My original purchase was an upgrade, not a new contract.
I ordered mine through my Customer Care rep about a week ago. I called her back this morning to see what she could do and she said that I would need to return the one I have to a store or she could send me a return envelope. I was hoping they could just price match a credit for me. Oh well.
Now my worry is...my current phone is working great. I will prbly go return this one and stop by Best Buy and get one that's bunked.
Worth a $100 risk though.
I just bought my Photon at Best Buy as an upgrade and got it for $99 and they also gave me a free Zagg Invisible Shield screen protector. I saw the stock of phones in their closet and they all (the Photons) had Zagg boxes rubber-banded to the Photon boxes so anyone buying a Photon from Best Buy gets the phone for $99 and a free screen protector. They even had them pre-installed on the phones and when they saw that there was a hair under my screen protector they pulled it off and re-applied a brand new shield.
I traded in my Evo for $126 (just gave them the phone and the box; no cable, charger or memory card) so the Photon cost me nothing and I have $19 left on my Best Buy card after tax.

Returning my photon to the Sprint store today and picking one up from Best Buy.
Looks like the price is being changed in stores today so it should be very easy to get that 100 back from bestbuy. They were changing out the price when I was there. What a great deal. I just came back to the photon after my little expo with the NExus S. Glad to be back. I can finally retire my Evo now.

Replacement Evo but contemplating not returning the defective Evo

Just got my order number to get my new replacement evo. The csr told me that the defective unit has to be received by Sprint within 35 days or a maximum non-return fee of $350 will be charged to my account. Has anyone ever not returned their phone? Any negative side effects of not returning a phone that retails for $550 when it can be sold for more than the non-return fee of $350?

My guess would be that once you activate the replacement the ESN of the other phone would be flagged as bad if not returned. I could be wrong.....but so is this idea.

Oh yeah, don't get me wrong, this is a bad idea! I was just wondering if anyone had done this before.
Well seeing how you paid 200 the 350 charged to your account would mean you paid 550 for the phone as long as you paid it I would think the esn would be good lol
I think as long as you pay the $350 the ESN should be fine.
When my OG evo broke i got a replacement phone and my phone was due back on a certain date. i forgot the date but lets just say it was due oct 20th. i didnt send my phone back for like 2 months lol. they kept sending me letters and calling me. 3 months in i called them and was like i dont have a shipping label can i get one? they sent me one and extended my return date even more. i sent it in once i got the label.
Maybe I'm missing the point but if its defective why would you want to keep it?!?

I won't say it's perfect, but it works as it should. The camera button is very loose.
And also, if I have 2 evo LTE's that I paid $550 for (including $350 non-return fee and $199.99 cost of the phone), that would mean I have one Evo remaining, and therefore would not lose any money.
Just a thought. Thanks for the input guys.
So you did a claim cause of a loose camera button. But you're willing to keep it and sell it as in good working order.
Like I said its a OCD defective.
I tried doing that with my mogul they charged me took me 2 months to get the refund. If they did it back in 2007 chances are they'll do it now. Don't test your luck

I call shenanigans!
I have an Evo with a loose screen in the lower left corner. After about 2 hours of being disconnected, reconnected, and transfered I was told I have 14 days from date of receiving the phone to return it. If I would like to get another Evo sent as a replacement, I need to give them a credit card # for $549 and they'll send me my new phone! Then credit my bill 2-3 cycles from now!
You believe that crap?
So, after we laughed at that ridiculous statement she told me, she made an E-Ticket for me that dates today. So I can wait for the release date and get a NEW replacement from the store. She couldn't believe it either.
So, if anyone needs a replacement phone before the launch date, good luck! It's a complete nightmare.

Refuse tech support and refuse taking it into a service center. Find a hardware defect. As the last resort say either send a replacement or you want to return the phone for a full refund and your upgrade reinstated. I did not have to say this last part but it would have been next.

AT&T $100 Trade-in Promotion Starting

I just wanted to post this for all of you considering getting a new phone on AT&T, such as the One, S4, Blackberry, etc. According to what I have read, it looks like AT&T is starting a promotion tomorrow that will give an instant $100 or more credit toward a new phone of your choice when you trade in your old working smart phone, ( 3 years old or less). This may help in the decision making process for many people.

well i already traded in a phone directly through HTC for $100 and its gonna be for a visa prepaid card. plus you have to do this in store and they dont have the 64GB version available at stores. i guess its a good deal for those that missed the cutoff for the HTC deal though.

I'd rather go on swappa or any number of other sites and sell my old kit for a lot more than $100 unless it's an old phone. Just about any decent, present day smartphone is worth more than $100. They're just catering to those who either don't know there options or don't want to deal with trying to sell on their own.

You could go pick up a cheap android phone from virgin mobile for $30-50. This would get you $50 off. I'm trying to find out what phones are eligible. I sell my stuff on ebay too, but a free $50 is nice to stick it to at&t

From everything I've been told, it's $100 minimum.
Just wanted to say, bought my One two weeks today and went back to the AT&T store to see if I could get in on this promo. Not a problem at all, traded in an old HTC Inspire 4G and they gave me the $100 credit, which by request, they applied to my bill. What's great is, average selling price on eBay for the Inspire is around $80.

i just told them that i see that you guys have the trade in promotion going that you get 100 dollars for trading in your used phone. i actually read this thread wrong which is why i called inthe first place lol. because i thought they give you 100 dollars on top of what they already give you. the wife traded her iphone 5 and i traded a nexus 4. the rep gave me a 200 dollar credit no questions asked. probably because she can't see on her system exactly what phones we traded in.

$250 @ Best Buy via Price match to Amazon

I just got back from Best Buy and was hoping first I could get them to match the $249 price on Radio Shack, but she caught that when she was going through the upgrade option, but she would have matched it if I were a new customer. I was about to give up, but I thought why not ask about Amazon. So, we made it through just fine and she called over someone to approve it. It sounded like they were trying to find a way to deny it, but it ended up working. Hopefully this helps someone else. I was trying to originally go to Target, but they were out of the black ones.
If a picture or something might help someone else get that deal from Best Buy, just let me know and I will be more than happy to help out.
Thanks for the tip. My upgrade is November 1st so I'll try it then

From my experience with two different Best Buy Mobile managers they are very strict with their price match policy. I highly advise you guys go to Target and get the $250 Amazon price match.

Best Buy doesn't price match online competitors for mobile phones. It's possible to do but not required by them. So if you get the right person who is willing to bend the price matching policy then your in luck.

tried to price match here in Clermont FL no go at target as they have yet to carry the note 3 and the price for the ATT one went up to 350 which is weird. I bought mine on amazon yesterday and it said it was back ordered 8 weeks at 250 this morning I got confirmation it was shipped!!!! will arrive Monday.
I got lucky my mobile best buy store at mall price matched it to 250$
Went to best buy today to get my price match for the note 3 i bought on Oct 4th. I was kinda nervous cause of the people who said their best buy wouldnt take the amazon credit. The one I go to must just be really nice I showed her the ad and she approved it immediately without question or a call to sprint like some people had to deal with. I guess it really just depends on the person you get to help you.

I just got my best buy to match amazon after originally matching wire fly on launch day.

Yeah, it highly depends. I called my local best buy before going in and they said they wouldn't price match because their terms specifically say they won't match contract phones from online retailers like Amazon.
I tried to push my luck and just went inside the store and asked if they would price match and the guy there did it without hesitation. Awesome!
