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.

Hi all,
I currently have a perfect condition TB w/ 2 stock oem 1400mah batteries, 2 amazon 1600mah batteries, an oem extended 2750 battery, and an external charger that can charge all of the batteries listed above. I also have the original boxing for it all too, ESN is clean, 32GB SD, SIM ,original charger, and a 6ft gigaware charging chord.
Everything works absolutely perfect and was wondering what I should price this at if i put it on eBay???

Half that at least. Nobody is going to pay that for all that when they can get the phone brand new and still buy spare batteries for $250, give or take. No offense, but what is a normal person going to do with 5 batteries, 3 of which make a thick phone into a complete brick.
Here's who you're likely selling to....
The guy who just killed his Tbolt, and the guy who wants to get one for the first time. The guy who just killed his, if he has a brain, will just get the insurance replacement for $100. They guy who's never had one will walk in and pick up a new phone for $200 and wait to see how crappy the battery REALLY is before forking out for a bigger battery. I think you'd be doing pretty good to tempt the guy wanting a new one at the bargain basement price of $175 obo.
Just my opinion....

First of all, the 1600's don't make the phone bigger. At all. They are the exact same size as the stock batteries.
Second of all, the 2750 does not make the phone a brick at all. Ask anyone who has it.
Third, the amount of batteries is for people who travel. Like myself.
Lastly, there are currently people on Craigslist and eBay who are selling JUST THE PHONE for 300, I have an add for all that for 350.

Yeah I would think you could get at least $250-$300 and maybe a bit more. If someone is wanting to buy off contract they are going to be looking at close to a $600 price tag if they went through VZW. So I don't think something around $300 is too high for a like new phone.

Personall, don't sell it in a bundle, sell the phone with maybe the 2 amazon batteries, than everything else separate. Bu that's just me!

Ya, if I were you I would part it all out (just like people chop up cars), because you can get more for each part then selling it as a bundle.
Since the cost of new one has been coming down, you may be able to get more by selling everything separately. I'm sure there are people out there who may want to get a good deal on a battery or two and not get the phone and vice versa.
Anyways good luck.
well, i just sold an HD2 for $250 on tuesday...
which i believe is probably what i bought it for on craigslist 2 years ago,
i'd say you could do at least $300 w/ all that stuff included considering that it's still Verizon's best phone and no contract required
Does anyone think i could sell all things separately on ebay and actually sell them ALL
delivered via Zeus' finger
I bought my TB off Ebay brand new for $250... I don't see why you could not get that or more for the bundle. Just check the current listings and see what the average TB is going for and place yours in that price range.
The right buyer will pay whatever you want but the hard part is finding the buyer.

Looks like we got a deal
sent from a Th3orized Bolt '
Don't worry, don't worry i love my Note. But i bought two of them last week at full retail price . One for me and my GF, i surprised her with one. We are actually due for two full upgrades come in May. She is content with her phone she has now "iphone" yuck & would rather use the money on getting herself a new tablet. She has no problem waiting but me no way i needed a NOTE asap lol. She rather wait & save the $350 bucks and get hers in May. And i would save the other upgrade for a rainy day.
Would i be able to return it for cash back refund, being i paid cash I bought it right from the ATT store using our account but just paid full retail. The phone was used lightly for about 3 days. Works out being i bought her the White one and i think i'll keep that one I don't mind if there is a 35 restocking fee. And i am guessing we would also lose our activation fee.
30 day refund with receipt. No questions asked. Might likely be a restocking fee as you mentioned. Since you bought another phone full price, you might be able to haggle on this and the activation fee if you are nice.
Oh and google with give you a better answer than posting in the forum likely
http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-phone-service/legal/return-policy.jsp
Fair enough, hell im not complaining on getting $600 plus back lol. I was so excited in the ATT store being i was getting myself a NOTE, and well her one too. I overlooked the $1200+ i laid out . And i mean May 12th she is due for her full upgrade so i guess that isn't too far.
Now for me they would need a vice grip to pry my Note from me lol. Ive had it for a few days and already have gotten so many compliments on it and asked "CAN I HOLD IT"!
Most people just make fun of its size thats all.
You might make out better if you eBay or Craigslist it. More hassle though.

I returned my Skyrocket and they handed me cash money. That was how I paid for it.
If you paid with debit, they'll put it back on your card.
They should pay you back in the manner that you originally paid for the device. One caveat is that early in the day, they may try to say they don't have enough cash on hand since they haven't made too many sales.
pay by CC and they put it back on the card; pay back check and they mail a check, etc.
Due to the Note's size, alot of women will say it's too big, even if they like it. My sister just got one so I am curious to see if she hangs onto it.
OK quick update. So me and the GF head to AT&T to return her Note. I send her in alone with her in alone with her "two girls" saying hello to hopefully get full cash back & perhaps wave the re-stocking fee .
Long story short they guy said they didn't have enough cash to give back so he called another local store and they also didn't have enough . Hard to imagine at 6:30pm they don't. So he tells her he has a guy looking to buy a tablet if she wanted to give her number he would call back in 10 mins and would have enough to refund us. Or she would stop back in.
So we went and grabbed something to eat and they never called. So i figure we would try again this week. We have only had it for a week now. So we have time left.
Crazy part is i was browsing Craigslist today and there is someone local selling a Midnight Blue Note that is 3 days old basically brand new, with a Sigpen case for $580. So for ****s and giggles i emailed him and said id give him $500 cash. He actually accepted the offer . Now im debating on returning mine when she goes back with hers and scoop that from the guy. Even after my re-stocking fee id save $150 cash & a case! I currently have the white Note but would gladly exchange for a black one and $150 cash back lol. I love the white note but it is a little on the flashy side when you take it out. Like it already doesn't attract attention lol.
What do you guys think? Trade mine basically for a black Note & $150 cash?
Tempting but you'd be banking on the guy actually having the note and it functioning properly. Plus you lose the option of a return through the retail location he got it from. (Buyer beware!)
Personally, I'd keep what I had in hand. But that's just me.

Yup great points. I decided to hold onto mine. I am debating on exchanging my white note for the black one. Which i will do after work prob. Me & the GF were watching a G.Note vs G.Nexus last night on Youtube on the big screen & my eye's were loving how the black looked. I told her seeeee i told you i should have gotten the black haha.
Hello fellow noters
I recently out of decided to sell my galaxy note to get the nexus 4 ( to use on simple mobile) and to my dismay the g-note i717 has a really really low resale value. From what I have seen on ebay and craigslist the average cost for a i717 is around the low 300s, which for me is bad, Very bad. If you take into account the money that paypal and ebay take for the commission of the sale you are left with 250 something. This probably has to do with the release of the note2 only 6 months later than the original note.
I'm not complaining because this is still a great device but the loss of value took me by surprise, but I will definitely think twice before getting another Samsung device close to its release date.
In conclusion my friends I would advice you that if you want a Samsung device wait 4-6 months and buy it out of contract for 1/2 the price and if you are planning on reselling it later take a deep breath before looking for the resale values.
IMHO I see the Nexus 4 as a Downgrade from the Galaxy Note 1...
NO SD CARD.
Non-Removeable Battery
Max 16 Gigs of Storage.. Max..
Smaller Screen....
But.. Enjoy
All android phones lose there value fast because theres a new better one every week. The reason something like iphone hold there value so long is because there is only 1 a yr.

I see it as a huge upgrade because
I don't need more than 16GB of storage because I don't put 50000 songs on my phone when I don't listen to them all anyways.
I don't really need to remove the battery ever, and it has better battery life than my note which is horribly awful.
It has android 4.2 official from the get go, and will get future android updates a week or so after announcement. Current note doesn't have official 4.1 yet, and 4.2 is out! And CM10 is still not stable. I'm so done waiting 6 months for an android update, especially with how awesome the changes have become.
Screen is a bit smaller yes, but it's higher PPI.
2GB of RAM is very necessary for anyone who is a power user. I constantly have to reload apps.
Quad core krait is awesome and should never lag. note1 lags often.
It doesn't have LTE which does actually suck but will be better for battery life and HSPA 42 in Canada is pretty good
And it's $350!
You could argue the Note2 is a better phone than the nexus4 and in many ways it is, but I still think getting android updates is more important for me. And the price is great.
I'll be selling my note1 for $300 next week. It's lower than I'd like but allows me to upgrade to the nexus4 for very cheap!
Sound Like They're Getting Your Money.
I"ll Keep My Note *1* And My $30.00 A Month T-Mo Plan And Jamie's ParanoidAndroid JellyBean Rom All Day Long Over A Phone That Won't Allow Me To Expand My Memory Forcing Me To "The Cloud" And Not Even Allowing Me Access To My Phone's Battery Making Me A *Slave* To A Charging Outlet...
Enjoy Your Nexus 4....
The main reason I'm switching is because even with the blaze radios my speeds are very very slow. I am going to miss the spen, and my 32 gb sd card but due to the lack of support from Sammy to their devices and the low resale value I refuse to spend 700$ on a note 2.
The reason for this post is to tell you guys to get prepared for the loss of value when you try to upgrade from the note.

I haven't sold it yet and I'm not complaining, I love this thing. I don't really mind if the nexus loses value because it only costs 350$, but that is another topic.
the Note does have a low resale value if you take in to account that it used to cost around 700$ and now you have to negotiate with someone to barely get half of your investment. Samsung products do devaluate quite fast because they flood the market with their phones, release new version every 6 months and they give retailers the option to sell the phone at the price they want. I got an S3 four months ago for 615 and I went to the same store today and saw it for 500. There is nothing bad with that, if you use it to your advantage and wait a while to get a great product for 2/3 of the its first retail price.

How do you figure it is triple? I have been on At&t since 1994. Not going to change. Have 5 lines with them. Always had great service. It would make no.sense not to get it subsidized for me. Going to to pay same price for service whether off or on contract.
from a galaxy far far away....
The triple is for the overpaying the service (I used to pay 120 more or less monthly on att for the past 5 years now I pay 50 everything unlimited) and if att works for you awesome, but all of this talk about subsidizing strays from the fact that the note devaluates pretty fast.
I've never seen a phone hold value...Technology is constanly upgraded and replacing other models every month..Just the way it is..Computers are worth half as less in about 3 months as well...
Ello mate!
Honestly if you want to sell your note then that's perfectly fine. You don't need to justify your decision to sell to the people on this forum because what is it to them if you sell or keep? Lol I don't know why people get butt hurt over it when it has nothing to do with them. Will they be using the phone or is it for you? Also don't let people's opinions discourage you. The nexus 4 is awesome and I want to get one as well....note is great but i have decided it's just too big for me. I am a very active person and it is actually getting in the way rather than simplifying my life. Can't go running with it. Can't take it to the gym..nope! Can't walk around the gym with the note in my gym shorts lol. I don't want to shell out additional money for another mp3 player.
I agree with you on the resale value. I put mine up on Craigslist for 430 and got so many low ball offers it's ridiculous. I am just going to keep it now ... meh.
I am buying a Note II this week, but only because my corp plan lets me it it for $200. The Spousal Unit would never allow a $750 + tax phone purchase in this house.
If I get $300 for the Note I then I am happy, since it lets me purchase the next upgrade for next to nothing.
That said, I am thinking of holding on to the Note I until December when the official JB comes out. The Note I does lag on stock rom a bit (never tried the custom JB ones), and I want to be able to sell it to non-XDA folks with full S-pen support. I am thinking that the Note I stock experience will be much better in December, and that if I show it to a couple of people I know they will be happier with it then. If an offer comes by before then, I'll let it go at that time I suppose.
My brother just sold his Note for $300 to a guy in Sudbury. He was a bit disappointed as well.
I told him it's a niche phone with low demand in a small market.

Read the important part in red which you missed. If you have ONE LINE, non-contract makes sense in some cases. If you have more than one, nope.
As for the OP's whinge, who cares, everything that isn't a "durable product" devalues fast, think about how many THOUSANDS your car devalues the second it's "used".

100% true! the nexus 4 will be worth nothing as Google drops its price, and I sold one of my skyrockets for 350 on Craig's list so I'd sell my note 1 for $400 up, and I'm in Fl too. Its all about the condition of the phone. If your note is mint like mine you'll sell it for $400 cause people will rather pay $400 for perfect condition than $300 for some old scratched up junk. In 6 mo. Your $350 nexus will be worth $199 or less cause its used. How's that for devaluation.

Well that and Apple sells all their hardware at a high margin keeping the prices high at retail.
So I've been thinkign about buying a note 2. Have purchased a razr last year (13 months ago) I'm not elegible for an upgrade; but it has god awful battery life (it predates the maxx; which pissed me off).
-
So I wanted to check verzion final price on the phone; went to website; add it to cart month-to-month; then wanted to see if i could actually purchase it. Nope; have to add a plan (as a side note the plans have been raised to $20 so without discountes the $80 plan is now $100). Wiat this is month-to-month - I don't need (or want) a plan so I hit the chat button. Rep comes on and I tell them the problem. You have to add a plan they tell me. We can always remove it later if you want but to purchase you will need (another) plan. But I don't want a freaking plan I just want the phone. I'm sorry we can't sell you a phone without selling you a plan but ....
-
So not only do they charge more for the phone than any other brand (at&t, sprint, ...) and then they break features on the phone adding their own local hacks (block call and similar); they won't even sell the bloody thing. Maybe that is a hint !
I ran into that too, but I went to a local vz store and bought mine the day they where released with no problem.
You should also realize you don't need to buy your phone from Verizon, there are many other ventures that are selling the Note 2 both oncontract and off.
There site may just be flawed pick it up in store if you need.

Well I was thinking amazon; they tend to be good about return/exchanages if there is an issue and as a company I think i prefer them to verizon.

I did find a use one for $450 that is tempting but I won't be going home for a couple of weeks; maybe I'll wait and see if it is still for sale - but i worry a bit about warranty; while $450 is a good price; at $600 or $650 which is more common I think maybe that warrany is worth the few extra dollars.

Sure can if you want to pay $800. Actually they sell it via best buy. There is suppsoe to be a 'developer' version direct from samsung but i couldn't find it on their website; they sure like to hide such things.
You can get the Maxx battery put on your razr. My brother had his done through a company and they even gave him a warranty for it. Just thought I would share. Funny thing is that his phone now says razr maxx under about phone .
Also I noticed a fellow former rezound user, jmorton, nice to still see you around. Remember your name from over there.

Are all off contract note 2s 669?

You're wasting your time (and money!) trying to buy from Verizon. It's extremely easy to pick one up BNIB from eBay or Craigslist. Worst case scenario you'll save $50. Best case you'll find somebody trying to offload a gift they don't want and save a lot more. Mine, the guy hadn't even taken out of the box. Found on Craigslist, he wanted $575.

Yea, that's me. Good to see you here, I still have two Rezounds.
I really loved that phone but they seem awfully slow and laggy now compared to the N2 when I play with them.
This is kinda funny, I have a 12 year old daughter that plays soccer and I help coach the team. One of the Moms from the team was telling me how much she hated her older android phone and was planning to use an upgrade to buy a new iphone (and lose her unlimited data plan to do it).
I showed her one of the ROMed and highly tweaked/unlocked etc Rezounds and offered to give it to her for free (and she could have kept her unlimited data package). She basically said "no thanks, I never want to see another android phone at this point"
She bought a new iphone the next day and when I asked her a few weeks later how she liked it she responded "I absolutely love it, this is what I should have bought in the first place"

For $575 I might take a chance on it, but there is not a chance I would buy one off ebay or craigs list to save $50 over buying straight from Verizon.
Log in to the site, then it will let you buy it without adding a plan.

Agreed, same thing here. Except mine was mine was 625. Still, much better than about 800bucks.

To me Iphone users are weird. IOS 6 feels the the same as android but one has to pay for every useful app. Being locked into Apple's web browser and walled garden is crazy. People are ok with it and it blows my mind.

I completely agree and I have an ipad2 (I'm typing on it rightnow)
I bought the ipad way back when they very first came out and it's the first apple product I have ever owned (except my 12 year old daughter has an ipod touch) It is the 64 gig with both WiFi and 3g. I have done Windows mods/repairs etc for years and home build all my PCs.
I really wanted an android tablet but all the android tablets that I tried back then sucked. They where all laggy/slow etc and the ipad just blew them away with its smooth glitch free operation.
I loved the ipad at first but the more I used it, the more the limitations of it really started to annoy me. Now, I hate the thing and would really like to sell it and buy an android tablet but I have so many apps etc in it (it is jailbroken) that I don't really want to dump it either.
The thing that really annoys the living sh** out of me is, I started posting on an apple message board (very similar to this one but only for iphones/ipads/ipods etc.) EVERY SINGLE TIME I tried to get help for something that irritated me about the ipad, I would get flamed like crazy by 50 a-holes claiming the ipad was absolutely perfect just the way it stood and if I didn't like it I was an idiot and should go buy something else.
I couldn't believe it, I was not trolling AT ALL, just asking legitimate questions and most of the posters (who where technically retarded) could not stand for anybody to post even the tiniest criticism of their Apple products.
I sort of addressed this at the start. First the note 2 is $700 at amazon and verizon; the $800 price is via samsung website which uses bestbuy. For $450 or $500 I would be willing to buy it used in the right situation (there was one 'new in box' for $450 but it sold pretty quickly). However at $625-$650 I tink I would rather have the warranty. Locally I've not seen one below $625 and on ebay folks are trying to sell them with cracked screens for > $600.

If that used one was a legitimate sale and not beat up (not a CL scam), it's already sold. That's dirt cheap for a GN2. Even bad esn GN2's sell on eBay for that much. A reasonable price for a like new GN2 will be between $5-600 on CL. More anywhere else online.

A less expensive option from Verizon.
If you are already 12 months or so into a contract with shared data, another option is to get it on a new line ($299) then cancel your old line and pay ETF (approx $230 if you're 12 months into your contract), total $529 plus tax from Verizon with full warranty and support. If you want to keep your old number just port it out to Google Voice.
I considered this when it first came out, and confirmed it would work at my Verizon store, but decided to pay full price to avoid entering yet another new 24 month contract.
Yea I thought of something similar; switching to at&t (I have another thread). The more I look at how these companies work the less I like them; Kind of hope google offers a (good) phone service alternative as is currently rumored. Its not just the prices but on top of the prices the crap they stuff/cram/ram/whatever up the users whatever.

I use Dolphin on Android and they have a web app for IOS as well. There are options, but the majority of android users don't even know they can use a different browser, and they don't even care. The majority of android users don't take advantage of any/all of the features android offers over IOS, so it's not hard to see why IOS is perfectly fine for so many people.
I am receiving a free Moto X, if I like it, which I figure I may due to the size, on screen buttons, battery life I will probably sell my LGOG on Swappa.
The issue is that there aren't any Optimus Gs up there, and I am not quiet sure what to sell it for. I figure I should ask here and find out if anyone else has a recommended price range.
The phone is on AT&T and still sim locked, I may try to get it sim unlocked which may help raise the price. The phone is in great shape with no scratches or dings. Have Charger, Universal Car Mount, and Case for it
How did you get a free moto x??? And anyways, with all that... I'd ask probably 350?

I called AT&T to resolve some issues with my contract and basically said I wanted to resolve the issues due to the increase in my bill. I was basically going to fight leaving with out an ETF charge, I have been with them for like 8 years combined so. But they gave me $10 off a month and a free phone of my choice
I was thinking about getting a new Nexus 7. So I would even be willing to trade straight up.
Any other sites I should look at selling the phone on?
http://www.sellcell.com/phone/lg-optimus-g-(atandt)/ This gets you some quotes. 176 is top dollar there though, and that's as excellent, not new :\
However, that's pretty sweet.

I feel that I will get a better price selling directly to someone instead of trying to sell to some service. AT&T will give me $80 and BestBuy will give me $85. I feel its a complete ripoff

It is. Sell on Swappa, Craigslist, or eBay for the most amount of money.
EDIT: I may have lied. Average price for the LGOG is about 227 selling. So lets say with a case, and car mount... 275. With unlocked, maybe 300. I would list it at 250 or 275 though.

I was thinking $250 as well, it would sell and only cost me a bit to get a new Nexus 7 ordered
Exactly Best of luck!

Holy crap... Best buy is only doing $85 for trade in on LGOG? I got $150 for my SGS2 i777 when I traded it in FOR the LGOG. In February. Damn.
