Samsung is now offering a trade in for older phones after you buy a new samsung galaxy and send your old one in with a receipt.
http://www.samsungupgrade.com
I777 is quoted for $140
Which makes sense considering u can sell one in eBay for between 200-300.....
For those who don't wanna deal with selling to someone, its easier.
1. Buy S3 (Amazon preferred for $150)
2. Register IMEI's of trades and print pre-paid postage from http://www.samsungupgrade.com
3. Ship phone and receipt of new S3 (or Note) purchase
4. Receive check from Samsung in about 3 weeks (able to track status through website)
The I777 is going for $140 but you could also include up to 6 phones per redemption and they buy many manufacture's phones not just Samsung.
look's like it just went down but I already got mine through
Edit: Could also try http://www.samsungsafe2switch.com/
They should have clearly indidated as $140 for a dead, unpowered SGS2, $150 for SGS2 that runs stock ROM and $300 for SGS2 running custom ROMs such AOKP or CM9
I plan on unlocking my sgs2 and selling it on ebay. They look to go from 250-300

If by unlocking u mean taking 30 seconds to download the app from the market that does it for free I say go for it.
I wonder if they'll give me something for my epix with a busted charging port I'm still sitting on... I've owned enough of their stinkin phones they could give me something (Whatever the first color flip phone was, Blackjack, Epix, Captivate, SGS II and in a few days SGS III)

Let's be clear here. You CANNOT buy an S3 for 150 dollars. Anywhere.

I believe target still has it (single/primary= $150) and Amazon (single= $150).
I called At&t and and pre-ordered from premiere to get activation waived and once I showed them it was $150 at target for the same line they offered $50 in credit on my bill.
Here ya go
Have a good one

I will be getting the note 2 when it is available in the stores. I have to purchase it off contract. I am trying to decide whether I should sell my Note to AT&T or try to sell it with the few accessories that I have for it. Does anybody have any idea what kind of pricing that AT&T is giving towards a Note that is in excellent condition? This is a not a thread saying I have my note for sell so please don't take it as such and post or im any offers.
I checked mine last week. It was around $177.

You will got a lot more selling it on eBay or Craigslist. You will get at least 100$ more than you would from att.
I was going to pick up a Note II on Sunday but the debate between the S4 and Note 2 lasted a bit long. By the time I was ready to buy, it was late and we needed to get the kids home and tucked in. That was Sunday. I look today and... $299 online. What the hell?
Best Buy's got it for $199 wit a $50 BB gift card. Tempted to do that so long as I can still upgrade it on my wife's line and move it over to mine, keeping unlimited data.
Yeah, do a round of online shopping. I got 2 for 216.00 from price matching sams club. If you can find a deal without gift cards verizon onlone match.
"One small step for man, One giant leap for mankind" said anyone who has tried Moon Rom
Yup, I'm looking around. Best Buy's deal is pretty decent as the price was already approved and I'm sure I can make use of the $50 gift card
The one alternative stuck in my head now is that the House Finance Committee has said she's fine with me picking up the Note 3 for the assumed $299 price.
The only thing I'd have to check on there is whether or not TrevE gets tethering working on it. I might just get the Note 2, then upgrade later to the 3 as the wife wants the Note 2 once I'm done with it.
Just get it at best buy. I got my note 2s with 100 gift cards due to a price match and recently got an s4 from a deal match at Dell for 129. It isn't worth it to buy through Verizon since they don't price match and you can get it elsewhere for cheaper from vendors that don't charge a restocking fee.
Never never never buy a phone directly from the carrier. Carriers don't offer deals that can beat third party stores such as Radio Shack, Best Buy, Wirefly and etc. For example, yesterday I purchased the Galaxy Note 2 and S3 from Radio for the total cost of $179. The Note 2 is only $149 at Radio Shack online store and Wirefly.

I always print an online offer and head to Best Buy and they price match. Just did it a month ago for an s4 for my daughter. They matched amazons sale price and saved $100 by not going to a Verizon store.

I clicked the link and it shows $699. I then tried to search Amazon and it said not available for my zip code? Weird!
Sprint is giving me the boot for excessive voice roaming and best buy said they'd give me $275 for my phone and it's only 199 for a new line so I'm already making money off the deal I guess I'm just being greedy and trying to squeeze them for more lol.
Gonna miss unlimited data but I guess the silver lining is being paid to switch. Bonus is I'm running goodness rom now and it's available for Verizon too!
Edit: found the Amazon deal. Just needed to use the computer lol

Honestly I work at a Verizon premium retailer and I can say I don't know why we don't price match. Thing I hate though is people getting the phone somewhere else and asking us to fix the screwed up plans or transfer contacts and put on screen protectors. If you don't want to spend the extra money here, don't ask us to do work for free, as we are 100 percent commision.

Not saying you are out of line or anything, but that's part of retail/customer service.

Only problem is he wants to transfer upgrade and when I got my Note 2, best buy told me that only Verizon could do it because they would only do it when I upgraded, not before and have it ready on my acct. Amazon couldn't do it either.
Looks like I missed Amazon's $149.99 price. I was going to hit Best Buy yesterday and got caught up with other things so it didn't happen and we figured on getting it Saturday. Amazon has it at $179.99 right now. Not bad and still the cheapest price for upgrading a line (new service is cheaper).
As to the upgrades, no, I won't be moving upgrades around. I'll be upgrading my wife's line as it's eligible for an upgrade. Then just move the phone to my line and reactivate her current phone. Once the Note 3 is out, I'll need to move my upgrade over to her line to do it again so I may run into the necessity of using Verizon there. I'll have to see how that goes.
Radio Shack is offering $149 for new customers & $199 for upgrade.

Costco did it for me. It was 199 but I think it just went down to 179

Well damn. Amazon went back up to $199. NewEgg's got it at $189. I'd do Costco but Best Buy won't price match them (the $50 BB gift card is still a solid deal) and I doubt the Costco deal includes extras. I guess if you snooze, you lose
Whatever the best price, hopefully I'll have a new Note 2 later this afternoon.
$149 deal
Gnoop not sure if you've already made your Note 2 purchase, but if not "letstalk" is still running deal for $149 new customer or upgrade and it includes upgraded free next day shipping as well.

I did pick it up but thank you for the info. I ended up getting it at Best Buy on the last day of the gift card deal. The gift card was able to be used immediately so it came to $149 and I walked out of the store with the phone working. Now I just need to wait for Amazon to ship my case and memory card.

If you want to be a frugal shopper, you can provide your receipt to the kiosk booth to get back your $20 for the difference in the price drop.
UK Samsung are only offering trade in for the older Tab S3 against the new Tab S6. How daft is that! What offers have in your country?
I have not seen any trade in info yet in the US. Pre-orders start on the 23rd so if there will be any I expect them to be published then.
Where did you see the trade in values on the s6?

In the UK, on the Samsung website - strange they don't include the Tab S4
I asked them direct and they will give you £50 for the tab S4 but like 160 for the tab S3 . Guess they don't care for people with the latest ???
US trade ins are up.
$75 for the S3.
$200 or $250 for the S4 depending on memory.
$300 or $350 for the S5e depending on memory.
There are others but that is the last few 'S' models. Not really worth it for the S3 (what I am replacing).
