I was just curious does anyone know of a good site other than ebay or kijiji. This question is more for My Ontario Canada brothers.....I understand every community or region may have a certain place to sell used tech stuff. Hey if anyone is interested pm me. Also what do you all feel is a good price? Thanks ahead of time for the responses.
Hey man i feel you still I bought my X10 on the day it was released here in Canada with high hopes, and it been kinda of ****. But to be honest If you got your phone with a contract just keep the phone for a year or something and just wait for the next gen phones to come out to Rogers/Canada. I know some people are have switched to the Desire and stuff, well it may seem cool now it is kinda outdated and the "next gen" phones are coming out next year as well. So yeh.
Also try ebay. I tried to sell my X10 at a point but people are kinda aware of the lack of multi touch and stuff so I gave up. One guy was asking me 250.
Redflag Deals might be a good place, but plenty are already selling their X10s there.
The going price in the UK for a used X10 in good condition without scratches is between 200 and 250 pounds. I think it's a good price. You could can sell on ebay as long as you are priced right.
I get one free device per year of up to 1,000 euro in value from my service provider. Plus the local dealer let's me get a second device at the same price as a new customers with contract. So I bought the iphone4 in the beginning of July for 300.
I got the X10 for free, so 200 pounds would go towards covering the cost of the 4. I am taking mine to a flea market next weekend and going to try to get 300 to 250. If not I will put it on Ebay with a buy now price of 220.
Are you just trying to sell it or do you want to replace it with another phone? I'd suggest offering a trade for some other phones on Kijiji and various message boards...
Good grief. Nobody here want to use XDA's own marketplace?
im looking to pick up an x10 if youre still looking to sell. send me a msg and maybe we can work something out? im in ontario as well
In the UK the SGSII is now £21.50 a month for 200 minutes, 500mb data and 3000 texts.
From what I can tell if I end up with the G model it has basically no development. Part of me choosing an Android phone to replace my iPhone 3GS is to play with new roms. Without them I might as well stick with the iPhone.
Has anyone in the UK dealt with making sure they don't get the G model?
Thank you for any help.
I work in a second hand store in the UK and I've never even seen the G version.
I don't think they sell it here?
Same to any phone
Will any phone be relevant. Im sure phones are going to follow the 'Getting larger' (Thats what she said) scheme now!
Like any phone you buy regardless of manufacturer, ROM development is something you have to research. IMHO, I think the SGS II will be dated in two years like a lot of other devices. ROM development can only take place when the manufacturer has released its Android source code. Samsung and HTC are good at that, but the i9000 (SGS) just recently sprouted a lot of ICS ROM's. Who knows when the SGS II 4G will get them. I'd be looking at the Nexus instead of the 4G.

agreed. nexus devicies in general have a far greater dev following, mostly in part because the source is available so soon. you best bet is a galaxy nexus, if u can afford it. I'm sure u can get a decent one second hand from kijiji or Craigslist
I'd imagine that getting one across the pond is not so easy. Value in the VAT and you'll see why these guys look for cheap deals when possible.
Well the Galaxy S2 can make phone calls so that would be a bonus. I'd say that would make it more relevant long term than a phone from a certain fruity vendor!
/10post
The existing roms wouldn't exactly disappear. But yeah, l'd go with the nexus if you want long-term rom development. Or wait for the sg3; it'd probably hold the devs' interest for two years or so.

Only get a phone based on development if you plan on developing for that phone. Developers will come and go with each new device release
Thank you for the replies.
The main part was that the SGSII will only cost an extra £4 a month compared to what I'm paying now so it's basically getting an android phone for a negligible cost. Any new phone including the nexus will be about an extra £10-15 a month which is too much for me. I don't want to be a cheap skate but £100+ for the phone and then £36 a month for 2 years is way more than £21.50 a month for 2 years.
Really what I want is for it to still be able to get the newest Android versions. I know it's definitely getting/got ICS as well as there being roms for it but is it likely to get Jellybean even if it is through roms?

If you are looking at costs over two years I tend to find the best value option is to go SIM only. For £10 a month you should be able to get equal or perhaps more minutes than if you spend £21.50. That leaves you with £11.50 x 24 = £276 or £138 per year to play with. You could pick up an SG2 for that much. The best bit is that after 12 months you can sell it. As long as you haven't lost more £138 on the handset (which would mean flog it on ebay for £150+ next year) and you can buy a new SG3 (or whatever) on ebay.
Obviously because you aren't tied to a contract the 12 months can be six months or eighteen months if you prefer.

Just had a look on the website and the cheapest is £25 +50 for the handset.
Emailed phones4u to check if it's the not g version and they said its not the g version. With the galaxy nexus set to get jellybean I would imagine the sgs2 will as well.
Is the new official ics update Asop or has it got touch wiz?
Ordered it earlier. It's going to be delivered in the next 48 hours.

Nexus 10 Price Tag Sighting at WalMart!!
Looks like it will be in UK Currys PCWorld on 13th
Will be sold at Walmart. Cover attachment is ugly.
Please use this thread to discuss anything related to where you bought your device, how much it cost, how much was shipping and how long for shipping.
Thanks

Just my 2p but these threads were relating to different stores in different countries and were perfectly valid. No need to merge them.
So now I have to sift through a bunch of stuff about where it's going to be sold in the US to find the bits about where it's going to be sold in the UK? Are we rationing threads now?
Ridiculous.

Agreed. Im not really bothered where and what isle in Wallmart the N10 will be sold at. Im not going to jump on a plane and travel 12 hours to America.
Can we not duplicate this post and have a seperate UK and an American one, maybe more for other location????
Never thought one day I'd go to a Walmart to buy a $500 tablet....
+1 lol.to bad Best Buy is not selling it.

Are the prices in the Google Play Store what you would pay in total if you placed an order or would you have to add VAT and delivery charges on top?
Ok, it seems that my decision to make one thread about buying the Nexus 10 and the reason is a little foggy to some people, so let me try and clear it up for everyone. Yes we could make a thread just for the UK and the US, but you would then have to make one for the other 6/7 countries you can buy the Nexus 10 in being, Austraila, France, Germany, Spain, Canada and Japan, so having 8 threads on where to buy the Nexus 10 in my mind is not needed. These types of thread only have a short life span and will die away after a few months, because most people would have bought it by then, also these type of threads dont pick up that much traffic, so sifting through and finding the infomation you need won't be that hard, remember the search button it's really good at finding you the answer you need. So lets please not fill this thread up with anymore should we or not have more than one thread.
Thanks

Alright guys let's make this thread an informative one so people don't have to siff through much [What's done, has been done]. Rather than complaining and wasting space let's talk Nexus
So hopefully tomorrow I can find out if Currys/PC World will be selling the Nexus 10 on launch day or on the 18th. :good:
Yes I'll be asking at my local store on Sunday. I don't know why they'd wait till the 18th?!
Someone, somewhere on here said that they asked and 'someone' told them it'd be released on the 18th in store. Nothing concrete yet though, and hope that's incorrect.
The 18th is a Sunday. Why would it get released on a Sunday!?!
I'm going in tomorrow to ask. So I guess we'll find out from a few places and get a good picture. A release on the 18th is the sort of weird move that sounds like they're trying to follow in the footsteps of Comet...
I called the Walmart nearest my house today and asked if they had the Nexus 10 Android Tablet ("no"), and when they expected to get them ("no idea"). Very helpful walmart.
I hope it is sold on Newegg.com. I have a 500 dollar gift card to there I would love to use on this.
Thanks for all the good info guys. I'm considering getting one.
well not a shot to buy from handtek they are greedy uk prices are 319gbp for 16gb and 389 for 32gb and prices on handtek are too high for my taste ,really the profit margin of them is redicilius high and the review of their site over the net is not so well ,even if i am not in lauch countries i will not be tempted by them ,i will wait a bit longer ....
Any news about Sam's Club?
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.
The damn phone is on backorder every where in the US at least. Looked online at amazon and eBay's uk sites and they don't even have any period. Not sure if the phone has even hit Europe yet. I've been holding out for the 6GB model but I am tired of my GS6 Edge and it's broken screen and my backup phone is like a 2013 Moto x and yeah it sucks.
I'm pretty sure, I don't think om understand how much people will buy their stuff if they quit messing around and actually make an excellent product.
Heard from ZTE stock is ready, should be back on sale very very soon!
They have been in business since 1985. I am pretty sure this was a marketing ploy used to generate interest and demand for their product. It is human nature to want what we cannot have. Just be patient.

Well it was first released in the Chinese market. From what I can tell, due to carriers and a bunch of restrictions with selling stuff in the US, some companies are very cautious. First Axon needed to test the waters with a lower scale launch.
Also don't hate on the OG Moto X. It's seriously one of the best devices ever, up there with the Nexuses.
I'm glad I pre-ordered for the first run. This is one of the best phone values I've had in a long time, comparable to the Oneplus One when it released. Keep the prices low and specs high, engage the xda community, keep the warranty, and I will continue to be a customer.
I think it should be getting MORE attention. It is time the big name brands take a hit in their pricing and provide affordable flagships, however they need to do s, otherwise I will continue to buy the high value chinese brands.

I agree, for $400 (especially + giftcard and headphones) its a great deal. The two major cons of the device are the reception, and camera. Minor quirks with software can be fixed, and the capacitive button locations can be gotten used to. As a device I'd give it a 7.5/10, as a device that costs $400, 8.8/10. I am still surprised that it has an s6's amoled, audio that is easily top 3, etc. To me, the only thing that is making me question this phone is the reception, other than that I am completely happy with it even with the other issues.
Galaxy Note 7 on back order also so cut ZTE some slack. I can name several flagship phones that sold out or back ordered in the first month or 2 and no one lost their mindss like people are doing with ZTE.
ZTE just told me that the phone came to the USA market officially before the EU market so the USA version may seem better than EU.
The Official EU release is coming very soon though this month it looks like.
They promise that they provide good service to all users around the world and not just the USA

Dude, "good service" for me includes unlockable bootloader for everybody, not just americans. Ordering a oneplus 3 next week, once the graphite color is available. Gold is ugly as hell. Don't only women buy gold phones? I only have seen women and gay dudes with gold phones
I received my ZTE Axon 7 Gold Colour today in Frankfurt, Germany.
I ordered on the 31st of August and picked it up at Media Market this afternoon (02.09.)
It was sold out in a day once it appeared on the German price comparison website idealo.
I am loving the sleek build of the phone so far and its speed but funny enough, the listening sound appears to be too low even on high volume and I cannot find any theme store anywhere as the stock UI is ugly as hell.
I will keep going through it to see its strength and weaknesses.

What are the versions available in the EU or UK market?
I'm planning to buy a Chinese version, 4GB+128GB for about 2900RMB, 330 GBP, during my China trip later this month. But I'm slightly concerned that I wont be receiving OTA updates for EU markets afterwards.

OTA updates aren't based on where you currently are located. They're based on the region of the device. A Chinese A7 will only be getting the Chinese OTAs.

I think this may be like the OnePlus One in that it's an exceptional package for the price. The Axon 8 or whatever going forward will likely have less bang for buck as with OnePlus Two/X because of demand.
I'm hoping that for once being an early adopter (albeit waiting 6 weeks) will pay off with a phone that I will get a good two-three years out of.

If you go to the local ZTE USA website, you can order the phone. According to their website and this device will ship prior to 9/9. That is but a few days, but since they already know when it will shipband this has been on their site for several weeks, this was probably a marketing ploy more than likely. The hope to be to increase demand by reducing supply. I am quite sure, this company of professionals, that has been in business since 1985, did not make a rookie mistake like this.

I suspect that Best Buy is getting first dibs on the latest batch, possibly to make up for not receiving any units from the August batch (they all went to ZTE/Newegg/B&H and some to Amazon).

I was just in Germany last week and it wasnt in stock at all
Untill I ordered it on media markt and it arrived on the day after
Sent from my ZTE Axon 7
Picked up my Grey from BestBuy yesterday from pre-order. The retail launch ones are supposed to go on sale later this week.
I managed to get the grey one today at a Best Buy 45 miles from me, they only had one and no idea when or if the store will get more stock.
It's mighty nice though, I bought to replace my Note 7, seems much faster
