I've been reading about people who have dev Rezounds (S-Off). Where would someone buy such phone?
Sent from my HTC ThunderBolt using Tapatalk
Well, it's not so much that these people bought them from a store, but rather they were either part of the Dev team(testers) or reviewers. A lot of times the manufacturer doesn't ask for them back so these people will either keep them or sell them.
You'll sometimes find people in the market place here selling them or on Ebay.
Oh ok. Well if anybody is selling one, I'd like to buy it.

Go to the Marketplace here & browse the for sale ads and/or post an ad that you want to buy one there. Oddly though, one of my Thunderbolts i had gotten from Ebay. The listing didn't even say it was a dev phone but when i received it and found out i was like "cool!"

So I'm gonna sell my EVO 3D but I'm not sure how much to sell it for. Here's what it has:
Perfect condition with box, only used about a month
Rooted
2 HTC chargers
2 HTC batteries
16GB Class 10 Micro SD card
I was thinking on listing it on Craigslist for $400 but does that seem like too much? Btw no hatred, I'm only selling it cuz I am dropping a line. I just need some advice.
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
I dont think you will get $400 for it, but it should sell rather quickly.
ask for $250
There a lots of 3d I see on CL. The good thing is its rooted. As the new ones you get from sprint has hboot1.5 and hasn't been fully rooted so the only way to get them with 1.4 is ebay or CL. I would say minimum $300 just because its rooted.
Thanks for the help guys, I ended up listing it for 360 obo. I'll leave it at that and of no one responds all drop it to $300 firm.

I would go for 350

I took your advice and listed it for $350, I think more people will see it then.

I bought my note outright from best buy and noticed has doodles and pics of customers and employees.
I didn't know.i was paying fall price for what could possibly be a display model.
What should i do? Can I get a discount?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
Take it back and get a new one. They either sold you a floor model or one that has been opened by the guys in back. Of course once you're out the door they could say it was you that did all those things...are there any photos of people in the BB stock room or anything that are obvious? Or demand a discount since you got a used item. I would be furious if I paid full price for something that other people had been pawing at for who knows how long.
Also, after this is resolved, if you're still using the same device, hard-reset it and start fresh. Who knows what free apps and malware may be installed on it. Obviously don't do that first or you'll destroy the evidence that the phone was used.
I looked at the photo details and they're from February. I didn't buy the phone until march 10.
Only thing keeping me from taking it back is i dinto want to simply unlock it again.

I'm sure they'll exchange it for you, but if you don't want to unlock it, you could (depending on how much of a negotiator you are) go back and see if they'll knock a few bucks back to you... Clearly the phone was either a demo or used in some way, even if briefly. Keep the photos on there if you want to prove it was as you say.

And they sold it to you as "new?"
I would complain.
I would complain HARD. Directly to the highest management you can find when you get there. That's absolutely outrageous.
Those looser employees should get fired, it is against policy to open a package and use it.
It's happened before.

I would complain as well as report it to as many news agencies as you can find, along with the pictures.

That's kind of sad, to be honest. That was not the smart move at all.
I love my phone and want to buy another one for a spare.
I have an upgrade available but don't want to use it, I would rather just buy a phone outright.
What is the best deal anybody has found to buy a brand new Rezound outright??
Amazon.

Right, but I was kinda hoping to find it somewhere for under $600........
No one in their right mind would sell a new rezound outright/without contract/upgrade for much cheaper than that.

Well no. Sometimes ebay sellers have a "surplus" of new phones and try to clear them out at a high-midrange price before the demand goes down. If it were me, I'd go the ebay route. If there's a problem with it, ebay guarantees returns and all that. I never buy directly from a person without a middleman.

I bought my Rezound new, sealed in the box from a Verizon employee who won it at work in a contest. They already had one and needed some cash.
I paid $200.00 cash for it (after ESN was verified, etc.)
Might be the BEST 200 bucks I have ever spent.
So back to the question, watch Craigslist and have the seller meet you at at VZW store to verify the ESN. You might not find NIB, but you should be able to get a good used one for a very reasonable price.
What he said. ^^^^

I have to agree with chef Thomas I've bought a whole lot of phones on eBay brand new, around a lil over 400 sounds right for that market.
I'd go that route or craigslist local. Sometimes there's similar deals in your local area and you can do the deal in person just get the ESN ahead of time, and check it then and also check it at time of purchase.
There's a tool for that by the way I don't have a link handy but can send you one.
If you buy a phone from.an individual make sure when you send them the money it clearly states it's a purchase of a phone, because you can dispute the payment and get your money back but if its marked as a gift your stuck like chuck, it used to be that way at least.

I paid $350 for a mint condition rezound on eBay about 3 months ago. It also came with an extended battery and a car dock. I feel like it was a fair deal.
Take your time and you will find a deal.

I'm guessing you are under contract so if rezound was on the acct the esn will be blocked until you pay the etf.

Yes I just ported my number to Google Voice and waiting for that to go through to automatically cancel my contract. I am going to pay Verizon what they need right after the number is ported. That's why I was waiting to post the sale on swappa. I wanted to make sure all was set with Verizon first.

If you're looking for someone to tell you you're making the right decision and you should go for it, then you should probably head over to the Note 2 section. You might get lucky here with some impatient people, but no one can make your mind up for you. If you want to sell your phone, there are hundreds of ways to do it, it just depends on what you're looking to get for it. Craigslist, eBay, hell, even the Market on this site. Please don't look for someone to make your mind up for you. Base your decision on actually using the two devices. When it comes out in the store, go there and play with it. They're on display for that reason. If you find that it's what you want, do what you need to in order to get your EVO sold, and then buy the Note 2.
Your best bet to sell it on ebay. Selling it local on Craigslist won't net you much. I've bought 2 EVO's on Craigslist for $200. And as newer phones like iphone 5 and Note 2 comes out, it only pushes the EVO's retail value even more down.

I have never tried to root a phone and don't know if I ever will (scared to brick it), but I think I'll order the HTC One 64GB Dev model. Why? Well, I am still mid-contract with ATT on my SG3, so for the same price (or perhaps a bit less) I can have an unlocked SIM and not have unnecessary ATT programs and logo on the phone. I hope I am correct in assuming that:
1) I can "plug and play" my current ATT SIM card into the HTC One and it will work just fine.
2) If HTC releases updates, I will be able to get them faster than those who are on ATT branded phones.
Are there any concerns I should have? Thank you!
Yes and yes
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Only concerns are warranty. Its probably easier to get a replacement through ATT if something is wrong. But since you have another device to use while its sent back to HTC, then this maybe a very minor concern. I am getting square trade or similar warranty on my dev edition when it arrives. I think someone said with facebook coupon it was like $90 with a $99 deductible. Much better than ATT (asurion) insurance which as $199 deductible.

Ah thanks. I will look into the warranty concept. I probably won't have a backup phone cuz I'd likely sell the SG3 to help fund the new One.
