Alright, so tomorrow I'm buying the Galaxy Note 2 off contract. On the website, it sticks to just being 700 dollars.
If I go to the store to purchase it (as I'm eager to get it already) will it still just be 700? I heard that already includes taxes and stuff. Or will tax still be added onto the 700bucks?

Every verizon listing on eBay (which are very few compared to other carriers) seem to be used with slight scratches on the screen. Or the biddings don't end for days down the road. Plus if something should happen, I feel safer with Verizon vs going through a hassle with the person I bought it from.
And I live in Lincoln, Ne, not many people selling new phones on Craigslist. I didn't find one listing for it. There was barely even any for the S3.
Plus, it's only about 40bucks cheaper, while it'd be nice, I'll make due.

I bought the normal verizon ones to be honest I'm not sure what type they were I just needed something until I decide what "real" protector I want to use. So far it hasn't bothered me enough to buy anything else.

450 is a VERY rare steal. I'd do that in an instant if I had the chance. I mean, if you know someone selling one for that low, point me in the right direction. But every normal listing is like 675 or pretty much retail price.

I believe they (amazon) can insure it, but I'm not completely sure.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Amazon Wireless is the way to go. No tax and free 2 day shipping. If you currently have insurance on your account, it will stay and transfer to new phone once activated. There is also no activation fee.
I have done this multiple times buying off contract. Even had to go in to VZW store to get a micro sim for my S3 and had no issues.

The Rezound is currently on sale over at Amazon for $150........I'm up for an upgrade. Are there any drawbacks to buying from here? The options can get confusing when trying to order........
Nope, I've done it twice without any issues. Haven't lost my unlimited plan yet.

You have the standard 14 days to return it for a refund without being locked in for another two years. Even though Amazon will refund your purchase within 30 days, after 14 you will still be locked in a contract with Verizon and ineligible for discounted pricing. The only reason this would be a problem is due to the time lost in shipping.
I had to return two rezounds to them and the third came in only one day before the point of no return contract wise. If the third one had been bad I would have wanted a refund and out of the contract extension.
Other than that, ordering from Amazon was great. They replaced my first rezound over a single dead pixel. They replaced the replacement over a loose piece of plastic around the USB port. The replacements all came with free overnight shipping and according to Amazon they do not carry refurbs so all of their replacement phones are new. This is much better than a Verizon store where you will get a refurb if you have a problem.
At 150 I think you should go for it. I ordered mine at 220 and used the difference to get a multimedia dock, hdmi adaptor, and car dock.
With wirefly you can't switch the phone on the line you are activating for 6 months so for example: if you use your primary line then you can't change the phone on that line for 6 months. I don't know whether amazon does that. This, shouldn't be an issue if you plan on using the phone on that line for longer then 6 months.

I don't think they can tell if you switch lines. As far as I know, as long as the line is open for 6 months, you are good. Now, cancelling data on that line might raise a red flag, because I think that is what they earn the commision on.
I have had no problems with the 4 phones I have ordered from amazon. Great amazon CS, and fast shipping.

I think they might be blowing smoke up your butt. I bought my t mobile phones from wirefly and switched them within 3 months and never got charged or notified.

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.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
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. ^^^^
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
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.

and lol.. wtf does contract pricing have to do with what phone someone has? my contract is off a Desire HD from 2 years ago, doesnt mean squat, ive had 5-10 phones since then. my contract is amazingly good and only 65$, i have zero complaints
Can't say nothing bad bout the nexus because I don't own it but I have owned two lg phones my first android phone was lg. Lg makes garbage apple phones are made better then lg. I hope the next nexus phone is made by some one else other then lg.

good luck with that. Bestbuy just told me on thursday that they are no longer price matching phones. Wouldn't price match for amazon wireless price. Said it came from corporate office.

That is weird. Best Buy price matched the amazon $149.99 price last week when we bought them. Also Endadget posted today that Best Buy was going to match online retailers permanently. The article specifically mentions Best Buy Mobile and cell phones, and even mentions price matching Amazon.

From what I read online, they will only pricematch online-only pricing if you buy from their online front. But when I was in store just this evening, they told me they dont really care and pricematch everyone.I got them to pricematch Dell.com and then at the register the guy hooked me up (probably since we talked about rooting for ages) and punched 99.99 in. The manager came over, didnt question a thing, and I got my Verizon Note 2 for $108 lol. Time to load up on accessories!

No indication on how long the price will remain, but Samsung phones have been all weird lately at Sam's Club. I've been watching the GS3 fluctuate from $200 down to 96 cents (Black Friday), up to $150 and now at $99 all within 2 months.
Debating myself to get another one of these and selling it, but not sure if that's a crazy thought.
If you have guys have any questions on Sam's Club lemme know, I've been working at a club's kiosk for 7 months now.

Do I have to be a Sam's Club member to buy a phone from you with Verizon?

Yes you need a membership card to get in, but we don't check who the card actually belongs to when purchasing.

And they only tax you on the sales price 98.88 not 699 whatever.
If anything the sale will last for another week unless it changes today. Most stores received over 20 notes. There was no advertising.
Just word to mouth kind of thing.

Verizon Note 2 150 dollars on amazon
Also anytime you are dealing with commission there are also chargebacks. So no you arent making the salesman any commission. But if their chargebacks are abnormally high you could be getting them in trouble.

uh... this is different dude, i am talking about price matching amazon wireless, but go ahead troll on my man!
The only things is I found it cheaper on dell site and Amazon wouldn't match it because they only price match certain sites...dell has it for 129 with 50 bucks giftcard and bestbuy has it for 98 Buck in store

You can get it even cheaper if you have a Sam's club near by. I got one for my wife last night with a price match from Sam's for $98.88 and then the $50 Best Buy gift card on top of that.
My best but said they don't honor online prices for cell phones upgrades. Said it came from corporate. Glad for those that got it. Remember getting my rezound for a penny

I know I am bringing a dead thread back, but Bestcbuy has announced that they will do it from now on. They released a statement on their PR site. They are getting killed with showrooming the product for othee sellers.

Actually... the new Price match you speak of was started March 3rd, and phones (on contract) are not included in the price match.
Right on the updated Best Buy Low Price page:
"does not apply to: Contract mobile phone devices"

I used to work for best buy, they will price match anyway. Just have to find the right store that isn't hitting budget and they will take anything.

I did it last week at best buy, my local store said they dont price match amazon, but they price matched newegg. So I got it for 149...still odd that they wouldnt match amazon.

With some discounts applied, some employers/schools have it waived.
I Did the same thing!
Got my Note 2 about little over 2 weeks ago for 189. PLUS got a $50 gift card that I applied towards the cost and end result was 149 bucks after tax.
What a great way to get a phone now though.. I used to always get my phones from Amazonwireless. But now that Best Buy Price Matches.. Ill be staying local till they quit doing it.
