Fair asking price for a Photon in good condition? - Motorola Photon 4G

Sprint contract is finally up so I am looking to sell my beloved photon. Was going to put it on CL but not sure what to ask, not trying to make.a.fortune from it but not really wanting to sell myself short either. I only paid $200 BNIB about 7 months ago probably. Thinking about starting at $150 and see what happens. What do you guys think?
Phone has a invisishield since the day I got it and has had a otterbox commuter about a week after. So screen is perfect, phone has a few scuff marks on the Bezel from the actual otterbox and has a small scratch on one of the bottom corners from the one time I took the pyrrhic off and happend to drop it. Go figure.
Phone would come with original box and accessories as well as the invisishield and otterbox

i have seen them in the houston cl from 150-180ish. id list it high and put obo and see who bites.
also check best buy to see what they will give u for it, they may be close to 100 bucks!

Sell it on Craigslist. 3 just sold in my area for 250ish I would not accept anything lower than 200 or your getting ripped off. The phone is still considered high end and its one of the very very very few considered a world phone and once north America gets unlocked which I'm sure it will, the phone will have a much higher resell value. I see single core phones like the inspire going for 150-175 in good condition.
Edit: one just sold 2 days ago. It was unlocked with cm9 4.5.1 beta on it for $300 flat

How much to sell a 1 month old Atrix for ?

I am trying to get a quote on my Atrix. It is a month old and barely used. What should be my asking price ?
In absolute perfect condition 200 is going to be the most you get. Sorry if you were expecting more but id suggest you go on craigslist and look for what they are going for any actually 200 may be asking a little much
http://swappa.com/buy/motorola-atrix-4g-att
Depends on your location. In Canada, a Motorola Atrix (unlocked) goes for about $300 but varies from $250-$350 depending on condition and accessories.
You can always try cell4cash or gazelle
such a shame, the phone's specs are just now starting to be challenged by other new releases, and it came out in january. HDMI out, 1Gb ram,1930Mah battery......
you can get more than 200 dont get played
I've had my mint 4 month old Atrix up for sale on XDA and CL, and even at $225 shipped conus it still wont sell. Mint, non rooted and BL locked, all cables and og packaging.
It may just be a bad time of the year to sell.

Remember prices on these sites are asking prices. Here in Norcal I see CL ads asking above $300 lingering weeks. One ad is asking $450 has been posted for several months.
It's difficult to know but $300 seems about the point where phones actually sell. I bought one for my son for $150, but I am a patient man.
In my opinion none of the new phones are better than the Atrix. The GN has no sdcard and the RAZR battery is not removable. Both are deal killers for me.

Evo 3d value

Since asda sold all the evo 3d's for £230 and they were announced out of production
There value has just plummeted recycle value is at best £73 where as the galaxy s2 still has a recycle value of £230
I use GSM. I've been told that I can get them for $150.00. Totally not true.
I mean brand new in box. Not Craigslist or someone's screwups.
I would gladly buy a few new for $150.00 each with no contract but its just NOT possible.
Here in the US you be lucky to get anything over $130 for a 3D. I couldn't sell mine for $120 so I trade it at Best Buy for $110. BTW the GS2 are starting to go down in price too, I just picked up a mint condition one for $200
Yeah, eBay's flooded with used Evo3Ds at the moment (presumably because people are upgrading to the LTE), which has driven the price way down. $150 is about the best you could hope for at this point. OTOH, it's a great environment for anyone looking to buy one.
i got mine on cl for 160$ the phone rooted.. 2 chargers.. 2 stock batterys.. and i trident kraken case... i have had 4 people in 2 days want the phone for 160$ but im waiting till sprint has the LTE for sale to sell it.. cause if i sell my 3d now ill be without a phone till then.. the sprint store said they would give me 80$ for it.. so thats why im selling it on cl

I think you got a hell of a deal
If you go to Mexico the best price with a carrier should be about $750 US Dolars.
Got mine yesterday for 80 bucks from a friend doing me a favor. It's great, now I might not need to use my upgrade next year and wait until the full LTE roll out.

I got my Evo 3D on launch day in canada. 2 actually one for me and the wife. It has been the best phone I ever owned. Screen - nice, speed - nice, battery life..... well that has been OK, it lasts a full day I dont think I can complain. But wow $80-$150? thats a great price for an awsome phone.
In Serbia, we`r selling it for around 350 euro.
Just few months ago, the price was around 650 euro.
It`s GSM version

I agree. Definitely keep your eye out for them. New phones come out, people get caught in that new phone craze. Perfect time to snatch them up. Got another 3D a battle of mine is selling for 65. Gonna snatch that one up to and root it for my younger brother.

Fair SIII resale price

My DX2 is eligible for an3 upgrade and I'm getting 30 dollars off whatever new phone I order. I'm thinking about just ordering an S3, keeping my DX2 and selling the S3.
What do you guys think is a fair price for a never opened, NIB S3?
Edit: 32 gig of course.
When you figure out a price, pm me. I do not want my Stratosphere I'm getting as a warranty replacement because of the slide out keyboard so I am looking to get rid of it and buy an S3 or something

I think it's going to be about 100 bucks under retail, depending on shipping arrangements. It's kind of a hard decision to make, selling it, because it locks me into my DX2 for a bit longer--but I think I want the cash to buy a Google Nexus 7. I **** with my phone so much because I don't have a tablet. So the reasoning is, get a tablet, stop ****ing about with the phone.
Reality will eventually strike I'm sure, and I'll just find myself ****ing with the tablet and the phone.

Full retail...at first it will sell for astronomical amounts, then taper off....I'd keep the Samsung though, even though they feel cheaper, they outperform and are way more customizable

Well, I spent nearly 300 bucks, even with my discount, which Version (of course) managed offset with their "upgrade" fee--so 300 bucks from my sale price pays off the credit card, leaving 275 or so to the Nexus 7 and accessories--basically makes it free.
I'm really tempted to just keep the phone. What I'm thinking at the moment (which may change once the phone is in my greedy little paws) is that my DX2 will last until Christmas and I'm sure I'll end up being able to scoop up something decent off Swappa or CL as a gift.

I ordered later, I won't have it for another day. I'm absolutely going to sell it though, I decided I really want the GooNex 7 and selling the S3 gets it in my hands for no real cost.
Well, I guess it shipped earlier than expected, I just got the phone. Damned Motorala, they've gotten me used to wanting to hold a solid phone, this S3 feels like cardboard. It boots pretty damned fast, maybe under 30 seconds, I haven't timed it, but it feels really fast. The screen is MUCH nicer than I thought it would be and it's snappy as can be, programs pretty much fly open, transitions are beautiful.
Anyway, I'm not going to spend much time getting used to it, it will be on CL and Swappa tomorrow.
If anyone here wants this phone, I'll sell it for 580.00 and cover the cost of USPS priority mail.
Ended up selling locally for $570.00, I'm pretty happy. I feel like the guy who bought it got a good deal and I have enough left over after paying off my card to order the GooNex7.

[Q] Broken screen: Sell on Ebay or try to get Samsung to repair

I hope somebody can point me in the right direction. I dropped my Note (no case I am an idiot--all due to my vanity) and cracked the screen. I think I have 2 options.
1. Sell on Ebay---how much should I expect to get?
2. Try and get samsung to repair--I heard they will fix it for 200 bucks.---How do I figure out how to do that? Will it matter that I bought it on Ebay used and don't have any original info for it?
thanks
Honestly you will probably spend the same amount either way. ~200 to fix or ~200-250 selling broken and buying newer used one. I think they hold strong still at around ~500

Hey mate
In my honest opinion and experiance i'd go the ebay option. Aim around the $300 mark.
As my replacement screen cost me 350 (in australia) also you never know if the drop has
Fractured anything internally.
So id sell it for the 300,fork out the other 200 and get a brand new one with warranty.
Just my 2cents
Yeh I would sell the device. Since the demand is still high. And save up for either another phone or use the money and wait it out ..saying if you had a backup.. And get note 2 ! if and when it does come out.. lol
don't sell on ebay

From personal experience selling a device like this on ebay sucks. First you must post a very detailed description of the device other wise if you get any buyer thats very picky you are going to have a very bad time paying for the shipping to and from the shipper, and then the fees are crazy, between ebay and pay pal you are going to lose like 60$ and then you have to wait for about two or three weeks before you can use the money because scumbag paypal has the buyer protection thing. If i were you i'd look for a shop to try to repair it, if not i really really recommend that you try your luck on craigslist.:good:

Here's my opinion. If it's in good condition otherwise, and you really like it (who wouldn't?), I'd definitely have it fixed professionally by Samsung if you can get it done for that $200. You'll have a brand new screen on a phone that can't even be a year old yet (that can be checked by serial number and it does not matter to Samsung if you bought it used) . If you try to sell it (high eBay fees as others have mentioned, and a lot of hassle) and start with another new or used Note, I think you're going to take a much bigger loss than $200. Even for people who carry AT&T insurance, the deductible is $200.
I'd call Samsung support direct to find out if that repair quote is available.
I will buy it off you lol

I just broke my screen and decided to use the insurance and for 200 got a new (refurb) phone with 1 yr warranty. I think 200 is a high deductible, but by telling them I lost it I could keep my broken one. Maybe get something back for the old one to soften the cost.

Broke my glass monday getting in the truck after being out on vacation. They locked my doors over the week (they are never locked) so i had to reach across to unlock the pass door (which i never have to do) and had my phone in my back pocket. I felt it get hooked on the door close knob in the door jam and when i jumped out to throw my **** in the pass side of the truck i pulled it out and almost fell down.
EVERY f%#^ng morning i load all my **** in the pass side and have my phone in my hand while getting in the truck and set it on the rag on the floor...... i am pissed off to no end

GSIII To Note 2

So I'm curious, am I the only one nuts enough to considering selling his GS3(probably on ebay) for the 4-500 price to get Note 2?
I've recently gotten an itch for a tablet but don't see the need of one when I've got my phone and really think this would be a nice in between for the two.
Lots of people have just look through the other threads and you'll see a ton.

I'm actually a salesman for a VZW Retailer, I'm waiting to see how the rest of this week goes before I make the decision.
sold my s3 yesterday for $400 - gnote on the way. UR not crazy
Definitely the right choice. The pen changes everything…if you like retouching and doodling
Gs3 sold last month and have been using this stupid iPhone ever since preordering.
I am also definitely selling my s3 for the Note 2. My only problem is i don't have a back up phone and have to buy the Note first before I can sell my s3. How are you guys selling it for $400. Mine is absolutely mint and everyone on CL low balls at around $300. If i can get $350 i would be happy since i bought mine at full retail.

That's good to hear and know. Maybe ill try ebay. I hate not having the instant cash but just saw a blue s3 going for $405 with multiple bids and like 2 days left. I mean my accessories in the box and still in their plastic.

Price it for $395 with many CLEAR pics. Mine sold in 15 minutes with the guy coming to me. Also, if you need an interim phone, buy a thunderbolt and a sim adapter. I paid $50 for my thunderbolt on CL. Many are going for $80 - $120. You can just resell it when done and lose your $3.00 sim adapter investment
If you sell on ebay be sure to make it known that you are verifying the condition of the device with photos and video before shipment. That will discourage the scammers from trying to swap with a busted device and then sticking you for the money. Or even better when they break it within the first day and try to claim you sent a a damaged item.
Otherwise you can get burned because ebay will usually side with the buyer on any dispute. I learned the hard way with a previous smart phone sale. Took a month to get my money back along with a busted phone.

Just know that on eBay you have a lot more in fees, even if it sells for $50 more on eBay most of that will end up being paid to eBay/PayPal anyways.

I sold a Nexus 7 16gig for $120 and a iPhone 4 for $120 yesterday but I was impatient. If I was smart I would have off loaded that Nexus 7 a few months ago. Still a nice tablet hands down but I want to focus on one device and that's the Note 2.
