[Q] $500 USD for a new I9300 is suspicious, right ? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So $500 USD for a new I9300 is suspicious, right ?
http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350533486249
Supposedly 3 sold at that price.
I suppose I should have tried the Buy it Now button before asking why it was so cheap ?
Vendor stated it required pre-approval anyway.
I wonder when the best prices will hit $600 ?

[Q] Buying an S2 in NYC

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!

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..

How much is it worth?

How much is a reasonable price to ask for a mint second hand Galaxy S2 in white? Posted in the market section but no interest. Is asking 350 gbp too much?

Usually I've seen them go for lower than that, around 310-320 I've seen on other forums.

Used price from shops here (Tokyo) is equivalent of about 325-350 gbp with 30-day store warranty. (This assumes original box, all accessories, etc.)
Have a look on ebay, last time i looked they were going for £300/£350
On Ebay UK £300 - 400. But if you live nearby one of them, you might be able to do a cash on collection and make the 'price' cheaper. Since you have to pay eBay final fee and paypal interest fee, he might kindly accept a lower value than he/she has listed on eBay.
i would say about €360 is a fair enough price, if was selling mine which is in pristine condition that's what id probably sell it for.
white gs2 in cex in manchester going for 300. looks in mint condition. i'd pay no more than that. i'd sack ebay...plenty of rip off's.

YP-GB70. Does anyone have one? Where did you buy it?

I'm looking into getting the 16GB Korean version of the SGP because better specs and DMB. I live in the US, but I'm going to Korea this summer for two months and then moving to Korea permanently Feb 2013.
For people outside of Korea that got it, what website did you use to buy it? I've been looking across Gmarket, eBay, and just found exportprive today. About how much did you pay for it device + shipping?
I'm just thinking about cost comparison-wise whether I should get it now (because I'm sick of iTunes and the drawbacks to Apple; I have an iTouch) or wait until I'm there in June. One thing that I'm worried about that if I buy it online now and something goes wrong (like it bricks) that I'm potentially screwed unless I want to pay massive shipping fees to get it fixed (which I don't) or wait until I'm there this summer and harass someone at a Samsung mobile store.
I paid £130 for mine including shipping, on eBay. Got it fast and had no problems with it. Make sure you use pay pal though as if you get the device and its not working they will refund you ( I think ). Also I believe that for it to be bricked you have to be modifying the system and hacking it etc, in which case it would be your own fault. Hope thus helps.
Best buy for 210.00 8GB 5.0

He specifically said the Korean model... lol you've been commenting on a ton of stuff that's either old or already had answers...
unfortunately I bought in my country U$349

How much !!

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.
