Howdy,
What is the consensus on the re-sale value (USD) of a dell streak 5 considering:
Its in perfect physical and working condition.
It is unlocked.
Including original accesories, box, and commuter case.
Coming from a non-smoking household ( )
I searched craigslist and amazon; and it looks like average price is $495+. On other site I even see it for 700+ Considering I will be using all the proceeds for a Note (most likely intl v. given all the state side let down) should I be solid on 495+ until I find a buyer or accept lower offers like 390ish.
Its obv up to me but the resale value of the streak if prob going to plunge once the commoners catch on to the upcoming Note. That aside I really love the Streak, its actually difficult to sell it. And they love makes you stupid.
TIA for weighing in.
BTW I paid less than 300 for the device. That matters.
Depends entirely on how urgently you wish to sell it, longer you can wait the more you'll get (true for everything)
A very good condition + accessories one should sell for ~$200-300 on ebay.
I wouldnt expect more then $325 but as it's ebay you never know. A realistic expectation is around $225-275 range.
Yes, what TheManii said....... I just bought one for $215 and a friend bought one for $189. I was prepared to bid up to $270, ditto my friend.
I just bought one eBay UK as new for £180. It came today. Unfortunately the seller didn't include the data cable so of I went to the local store to buy a 30 pin iPhone cable......which doesn't work. There are specific cables for the streaks.
The Tesco outlet on eBay has them for £180 refurbed. Delivered with a 1 year warranty -h**p://goo.gl/WZB1E
I have a 32gb Champagne Prime and I find that I just don't like using a tablet that much. I find myself reaching for my laptop instead of the tablet since I just get things done so much faster with a bigger screen and a standard keyboard. I bought it from Amazon and I'm still within the return window, but I'm sort of tempted to make a bit of money off of it since I see them going for more than list price on eBay. It doesn't have any problems that I know of (wifi works fine, haven't tested GPS) but I'm nervous that someone would buy it and then try to screw me when they discovered some minor problem. I would probably bundle it with my two remaining screen protectors and my verteks case.
Input? Is it too risky to try selling, or should I go for it? Recommended methods?
I sell stuff on ebay. Make sure you look at their fees(insertion and sell) and also paypals fee. Also, look how much shipping will cost vs how much you are willing to charge for shipping. You have to sell an item for quite a lot to actually make money on it.
I have sold two phones in the past month for a total of $340. My ebay fees were about $32 and my paypal fees were about $11. The fees will be higher on a $500 item which means you will have to sell it for more than $50 above $500 just to break even, more if you paid tax. Unless you got it at hhgreg or something for a price way below normal really look at the fees before thinking you will make money. Craigs list would be more the way to go. But, then you have to deal face to face with strangers.

If not having a keyboard is a reason you don't use it, have you considered getting a dock?
Once I got the dock I have found I can do most of the things I used to do on my laptop on the tablet - minus windows gaming.
Hey guys. I bought my Prime mid February (C1O serial) and my Wi-Fi is great, obviously GPS is non existent, but I do have the dongle.
Even though I have no problems with my Prime, thanks to a custom ROM/kernel, I'm considering selling. It's mint condition, with the dock. Now I could just start at just below $600 as the asking price, but who would know better than the owners themselves?
What do you think is a good price for the Prime with dock, 10` hdmi cable, and 16GB SD card? The cable was only 3 bucks online, and the sd I got for free, so I won't charge extra for them, just use them to sweeten the deal. I live in Chicago if that really matters.
Any input is appreciated, also suggestions on what to buy (besides the Infinity obviously)

No, I won't lie
But I will just say it it's out of warranty, I don't have to say that I'm the one who made it that way
Seriously if it's a techie that buys it I'll explain. But when buying used electronics on the internet, the last thing I'm worried about is warranty

Sorry, but $600 for a used device with no warranty is too high. I just bought mine new last week from Amazon.com. For the 32gb prime + dock + Sandisk 32gb MicroSD + case for a total of $639 including over night shipping. And with Amazon, if I don't like it or just change my mind, I can send it back where you can't do that when buying from an individual.
Amazon is also selling used ones for $415 for the device + $98 for the dock = $513 total with free shipping. Once again, buying from Amazon, the buyer could return it which I assume you could not offer. So, you would have to beat Amazon's price in order to make it worthwhile. I'd say no more than about $400 including shipping.
Sorry for the bad news - but that's how it goes with electronics. At $400 it would have retained its value amazingly well all things considered.
I was just on Ebay last night checking completed listings for the Prime. Saw that just the tablet alone was selling for about 350-400. Tablet with dock, orig box etc 450-500. Tablet, dock, dongle and/or case sleeve protector accessories i saw 500-550.
looked like the prime is still holding a decent resale price.
It was also amazing how many being sold do not have the GPS dongle.
just don't sell it to best buy... they will pay $110-$120 for it (shows you haw many returns they had)
but...its too bad you never got a square trade warranty with it. I would say reasonable is $375 - $430. obviously if it has a screen protector, perfect condition, etc it'll go for more. just sell it before tf700 comes out because then it will really drop in resell price

Wow..I didn't know that about the used ones on Amazon
As for asking $600, I just meant to start high, so the buyer can negotiate. I know I'm not getting 6.
But see, that's exactly why I posted here. I've bought and sold about 10 devices on Craigslist, and I do reasonably well...so it's not like I need help. But I wanted to get input from you guys, because everyone is selling high on there, and it seems too much to me, and I don't want to be just another overpriced used Prime for sale.
Thanks for the info ratman...appreciate it:good:

Wow lol. That's like selling PS3 games to GameStop You buy a $60 dollar game from them new, and they offer you like $9 for it 2 weeks later. Then you see it being sold used for $50. Haha.
I did consider ST just so that I could destroy it myself come September/October when something else came out. Send it to them smashed and water logged so they'd send me $500. Too late now
$300-$350 and it will move. The price will rapidly drop in the coming months so I suggest you move it now.
You have to consider the fact that even though this tablet is stellar, you have to have a techie brain to use it to its ability, with the Wifi/GPS/browser issues and all. Not to mention, you have the 300 already out and the Infinity swirling with rumors to be released soon.

Ouch, $300-$350 would sting
That's almost half price. But I know what you're sayin.
It's not so much how much I get for it, knowing what it costed me, but more about getting enough to cover my next device. Even though I've got $650+ into it, if my next device costs $375, I'd be glad to sell it for $375. IDK...the only thing out that slightly interests me is the 10" Acer Iconia A700, but it's not shipping till this weekend so no real hands-on reviews yet.
And of course, the Asus/Google tab
So many choices, so little $$$
According to current eBay auctions, the going price for a used Prime tops out at around $400.

I sold my Acer A500 and then bought the Prime. I didn't get nearly what I paid for it (I think I sold it for $250), but when I established the price, it was gone by the end of the week. People can find the tablet for cheap if they really need to. If you want to move it, then drop it a touch lower than everything else on the internet and stand behind your product. Works every time for me.
I've just decided to sell my HP TM2. I bought it for $1050. I want to sell it for $800. I'm going to sell it for $650-$700. It will move.
Hi
I've been following this forum since I got my jetstream last year. Its a great tablet, but I've felt let down by the lack of spot from HTC and I found myself using the tablet less and less as my work circumstances have changed. I have also acquired a 7 inch tablet which is more productive.
So I've decided to sell my jetstream and accessories. I am based in the UK, but will ship anywhere provided you cover the transport costs. I have:
One jetstream. Slight cosmetic dent on the back, but in full working order. Screen is flawless as I had a screen protector on from the day of purchase until last week.- £220 with free charger
One official HTC US wall charger still in box - £10
One scribe pen, with plastic stripped from the tip, but still functioning - £20
One red TPU official HTC case - £10
I want to make sure that it goes to a good home, or can be put to use in the quest for root access.
well, that's too bad.
the forum is collecting money to get a device going to Germany, but the price you're asking is about twice the sum we've got (and also more expensive than any other jetstream for sale on-line that i've seen).
at the moment we've got 240$. that is close to the ebay asking price..keep in mind that for a lower sum - we can have a deal in a few hours.
Yeah, the asking price is a bit over the top, to put it lightly.
Stylus is too expensive as well.
Nevertheless, good luck selling them.

If you still have the Jetstream, may I suggest that you unload it on eBay. You could get a great price, as they are now going for between 240.00 and as high as 480.00
