So my friend is currently in NYC, and he's thinking about buying the S2 over there if the price is luring enough.
two parts to my question:
1.) What is the going rate for the S2 in the US right now?
2.) Where would you advise that he buy the device? (Actual stores are preferred to online ones.)
Thanks in advance for your help.
Amazon, expansys, newegg, negrielectronics, xda marketplace...may be few other online sites.
Used ones you may get around $550 - $600. New ones I think $640 plus.

The S2 isn't released yet in the states, so an actual store having it stocked is pretty rare to find. There is only one import store I know of, which is mobilecity who sells it for around 730$ (NYC Tax already counted) with no warranty. TBH your better off ordering online because that's pretty much overpriced already.
Guess i should advise him to just get it locally, thanks!

With the same spec.

Im not sure if you have craigslist there. but you can find them on craigslist from 300-450. I got mine for 350 in brand new condition.

Not double. I777 is $550 if purchased outright off-contract. Add sales tax and it can be as high as $600.
It's unreasonable to expect people to waste their contract subsidy to provide you a discount. If you get a device for under $400, it's going to be a used item with cosmetic blemishes.
Anything showing up for less than $400 in Craigslist is likely a scam.
Got one last week off of Craigslist for $350, had a minor scratch on the bottom right corner bezel
It seems like the wrong forum to post it. Why not try the MP (Market Place) under "Want to Buy"? While I doubt it, someone may be willing to unload his/her i777 for dirt cheap and go through the hassle of shipping it internationally.
Any reason you are looking for the US only i777 instead of the international I9100?
If you looking for mint condition you would prepare to dish out at least 400+ imo

Dont know..looks pretty to me i dont mind geting an i9100 in this price..
I currently have a Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket with AT&T. I also have an Acer Iconia A500 10" tablet. Both are rooted running custom ROMS. The tablet is actually running a leaked ICS. I have been proposed this offer. A guy has an upgrade available. He wants to buy me a brand new white galaxy note in exchange for these two devices.
If it were you would you accept the trade?
No. LOL he should give you cash, you can decide how much depending on condition of your phone and tablet. Wait a few and watch Note's price drop.

Skyrocket eBay average sold* price for used phone in perfect condition: $400.00
Iconia A500 eBay average sold* price for used tablet in perfect condition: $300.00
SOURCE.
That is $700 and for that you can get a brand new I7000. That guy would only have to spend $300 on a white note and take a $400 profit off you.
*"Average sold" means the average price for that specific item that actually SOLD. Not the price they are listed for sale.
But you cant calculate it at 300 he is also giving up his upgrade. You have to look at the average sale price of the Galaxy note and its close to 700.
I did actually consider selling both the items and turning around and buying one myself but then I go through the hassle and time of selling them, hoping that I get enough out of them. I also go without a phone in between the time the skyrocket sells and I get the note because it is my only phone.
I am not eligible for an upgrade at the moment so I would pay that $700 price tag. Yes, he may only pay $300 but he wins by getting both devices and saving some money on the purchase and I win by getting the note without the trouble of having to sell both devices and hoping I get enough.
The question I come down to is if the Note is a good enough phone to ditch the skyrocket whose only advantage over the note is that it has NFC and the tablet, which I hardly use because I have a laptop and an iPad, for the note that has the larger screen.
The main things I use my phone for are as a GPS navigator, a web browser, and a camera. The larger screen would seem to be better suited for all of that. I would hope that posting this in the Galaxy Note section you would have some insight as to the performance of the device as well as the customization available (ROMs, Kernels, etc). I've owned the devices I'm giving up, I haven't owned the Note. Just looking for pros and cons and personal opinions. No need for comments like "He's ripping you off" or what not. Just explain why you think he is.
Thanks guys!
I would take the trade. Trying to sell stuff on craigslist or eBay is such a pain. But that is me and I was desperate for the note. I had my skyrocket + $200 cash on my end on craigslist looking for a trade. So if you are impatient and don't mind taking a little hit go for it. The note is an amazing device. I also have an iconia and I have not used it in a week.
However if you are asking here that would indicate some trepidation on your behalf. Trust your gut.
I would take the trade + $50-$100 cash back from the guy who has the Galaxy Note
if it were me....i would not do it.
he is winning either way you look at it. the Rocket is a great device in its own right......plus a tablet?
sell one or both and see where it leaves you. at&t has the note 649 right. if anything trade the rocket to him plus a little cash and keep the tab or vise versa
thats my OP
700? There's one in marketplace right now for 550 shipped. They're going to be on the market for about that much for awhile..your choice ...easy deal for trade or sell your devices for what they're worth and pocket 150.

I came from the Skyrocket and dont regret it at all. Probably biggest decision is how much will you miss a full tablet. I would say he is making out a little ahead and may be able to talk him into 50 dollars or so but if its what you really want its worth it IMHO.

He still has an iPad, and from what he says he uses his devices for, the iPad more than fulfills the 'full tablet' requirement. No, it isn't an android tablet, but the iPad still surfs the web well, apart from flash.
i would tell him the skyrocket or the acer iconia and $100 for his Galaxy note - if he says no then tell him to go F** himself.
Good luck
I more or less did this exact thing, since I wasn't eligible for an upgrade on the Note. I sold my SR and a Toshiba Thrive on ebay for about $680. But then you take into account Ebay fees and then Paypal fees and you're out almost $100. So the offer is not terrible really, if you wanted a Note anyways.
My Samsung Galaxy Note™ is smarter than your Honor Student.

Too much driving from Florida.
I wasn't serious anyway. You'll end up losing out on the deal if you trade with the guy. Try to sell them separately and you'll come out even. The Skyrocket should get you $300 on Craigslist easy. That alone should be enough to pick up the Note from him and you get to keep the rocket and the tab

I assumed as much Just figured I'd call your bluff.
After looking around craigslist and ebay I could probably break even with enough money to buy the note but then I go through the hassle of selling them and then being without a phone if the phone happens to sell before the tablet and I don't have the money for the note yet.
It basically comes down to whether or not I really want the note. I've been to AT&T twice to play with it and like the phone but that one wasn't rooted, OCed, or running a custom ROM. I know it has to be faster than the one they have on the floor.
So far I've seen comments that people have switched from the skyrocket to the note and don't regret it. I'd be curious if there is anyone who does?
I had two skyrockets with in a two week period and both developed problems and were returned to AT&T, I told them to keep the skyrocket and I would pay the difference for the white note and I think that the Note is a much better phone than the skyrocket!!! It is a great phone and a even better tablet, I have not touched mt Galaxy tab since I got my note.
I have a deal pending on my SR for $350 shipped and the Iconia 16gb A500 will probably get you $250 so that's $600 from you. If you pay the paypal fee and shipping like I am, I'm only really getting about $310 for the SR. A NIB Note is getting about $550 so it's really more a question of...Do you feel like you are losing out or getting what you want? I have the Transformer Prime running CM9 with a case and I hardly use it. My phone is what I spend most of my time on.
I have a virtually brand new sgs2 (white ) its only been used as a spare for my girlfriend until she got her new phone,so its about a month old. It has been rooted but no custom ROMs as she just needed the temp sim unlock which I have now removed again but kept the root enabled. So I would like now to sell it and was wondering how much these are worth today?. Its 3 UK carrier with all leads,headphones etc and boxed and has a screen protector under the original over covers.
Looked around but the variety of prices makes it unclear how much I should sell for,any ideas.........

eBay will give you a guide as to what they're going for I would have thought.
Edit - Scrub what I said about Marketplace. Seems they closed it a couple months ago. Or sites like this. I'd be surprised if you didn't have them in the UK (Google = friend).

Mmmmmm I wanted a community perspective on pricing because like I said I have looked but the variations on pricing are so different everywhere I look. I want to give somebody a bargain/fair price but I don't want to get ripped off either. The phone was free to me and I have a nexus 4 so I don't need the s2. Thanks but no disrespect I don't need links to here and there but would appreciate a comment like.....
" I would not sell it for less than ? "
" I think they are worth about ? "
Kindest regards

i made a research on the used price of the s2 for a friend of mine, and it goes from 250€ to 350€.
i think around 300€ (or 257.55£) is a fair price
Always go a little higher than what you want to sell it at ( 250 = 270 etc.) because people always wants to go down in price .

Well If you're thinking of selling it...do it fast, samsung might drop the price of SGS2 anytime soon, coz its already doing that for many phones like S3 and note 2 etc..
Well it should go for about british 250 pounds(shouldn't go more than that) if you have all required stuff and accessories...
depends on buyer how much he's willing to pay..
Youll get nowhere near £250.I sold mines for £205 on boxing day,and a 3 month old note for £250 the day after that.Done it via eBay and that cost me about £50.
I believe Orange were selling brand new s2 for £199.99 not long after that.
You list the phone for whatever you think its worth and see if anybody bites.
Thanks all
So if I say £200 then that's a fair price yes ? Give or take a few £
Like I said its virtually brand new with I would say no more than 30 hours use.

Well in India you could sell that for about Rs.18000 to a dealer who deals second hand phones... Coz its only a month old...
That guy will increase the price to Rs.19-20000(220 pounds) and sell in the market... That's all I know... confirmed..
Plus markets are pretty different from places to places... Idk whether it's a good or bad idea selling it online...
Better sell it to a friend or someone...coz that person will feel a sense of security and already knows how less you've used it so will be willing to pay more..
Now u shouldn't be selling it nowhere below 170 pounds... Coz am already getting a 4 month used galaxy S2 in that price here...
Rest is your choice..
Sorry I was saying 250 pounds cox I had got conversions wrong..

The price would totally depend on where you want to sell it... Ebay is one thing, local Craigslist is another. As always, it's not what you want to sell it for, but what someone is willing to pay for it. In my local market, my target would be somewhere around $220-$250. $200 would be the lowest I'd sell it for. I bought my SGS2 a month ago for $140 on Craigslist. The only problems with it were the crappy battery and a scratched lens cover, so I had to buy a replacement casing and a new battery (about $30 worth in total)...
Duty free shop:
S II Brand new: $ 640 bucks
S III brand new: $ 740 bucks.
crazy right?
Sell it as Brand new.
hey so i dont know if this is the right place to put this but here it goes:
so i have my jump around the corner and was confused what to do.... i love my htc one, but want to try out the note three. My question is: should i use the jump or should i pay off the phone and then pick up the note three?
would love your opinion on this.

Dont think its the right place.
but im in the same boat as you. My girl wants a ntoe 3 just because of the screen being good.
I started to look into it and it looks nice but idk. I did have a s2 for a long time and like it.
but on the other hand the htc one is a great phone and speakers rule.
But i would say pay off the htc one, then buy the note 3.
Buy doing that if you change your mind you can switch to another phone or return it in 14days and get a refund.
lets say i pay off the device, which is 360....but b.c right now tmobile has a special going on for $0 down, that brings my installments to $29....right now its $22 so im guessing i need another 150 to put down (which i dont have) lol. im a college student.
thats why im confused in what to do

Of you own $360 your still be losing money.
Tmobile will only give you around $215-$235 for the HTC.
The rest will be added to the new phone which is about $700.
So your be paying $29 a month for the note 3 then your have to pay an extra $20 for the HTC balc of Est $100
Also note you gotta pay taxes up front. I think when I check online it was right around $88 sells tax and shipping
And if you don't like the phone your have to buy w new one at full price.
