The Mate 20 Pro is not available in my country. Looking around on eBay, the prices are still very high.
I missed an opportunity to get one while in Doha where it was priced at QAR3299. This is cheaper than anywhere else that I have seen online.
Has anyone found a trustworthy site that offers decent pricing and worldwide shipping? (FedEx or DHL)

Depends what you mean by decent pricing.
Ebay in the UK have them as low as £650 which as they are £899 new, is a pretty good deal.

TMall or taobao worldwide. Chinese mate 20 Pro is cheaper by 20%. Take a look. If you need help. You can ask me. I know Chinese as well.
Unfortunately I don’t understand anything on those sites.
To me, decent pricing would be an equivalent or cheaper price than what the phone was going for in Doha (QAR3299) because, while not cheap by any measure, that is still the best price I have seen.

i am selling brand new white google g1,unlocked,with all accesories and 2gb sd card.
you can pay me via paypal or directly on bank.
price is 360gbp or 400euro.
cheers
Good luck with that price
Lol... wow, hot deal of the century here.........
it can be sold for 450 here in slovenia.i am just trying to sell him out
360 British pounds = 548.14 U.S. dollars
It's a decent price over here (Sweden). Not great, but cheaper than buying a Dev Phone through Google.
It ain't that bad,in Spain some people are paying for the G1.....550/700 euros......this is out-flipping-rageous.I got one for my dad here in the US and sent it to Spain,he paid 315 euros with taxes and shipping included,which is a really good deal I think.
all i know is crack is a terrible drug....n causes people to do outlandish things....this phone is by no means worth that price.....
ud have better luck selling it through ebay...
since white g1's are labeled as "rare" they tend to go higher
not to mention the few ADP1's ive seen have sold for over 600usd
Obviously, there doesnt seem to be anyone interested through postings.
If you are interested contact him through PM.
Locking this thread before it gets out of hand.
Good Luck on the sale.
Hi all,
I've just seen a HTC Flyer for sale online (forgive me for not revealing my sources).
It's a fairly reputable auction site and 'apparently' it's 3 months new, 16GB Wi-Fi version with case, box, headphones, pen and a free 32GB MicroSD Card... looks ok in the pictures for cosmetic damage.
Seller wants £100 for it... What do you all think? Is it worth it? I know they still RRP for around £300+, so it could be a bargain!
Unsure.
cheers,
T-L-H
Lessee....that's about 150 USD, so yeah...thats a good deal.
I dunno what "3 months new" means but you'd be hard pressed to find a flyer that cheap over here even used. Best price I've seen is 180 USD refurbished.
I am selling mine on Swappa, it comes with more than just the unit, but am asking $335 for it.
http://swappa.com/listing/TKX494/view
Mine is listed in the XDA Marketplace w/ Scribe, Otterbox Case, charging dock and Screen Protectors.
Hi all,
I'll take a look at what you're offering but I don't think it'll compare to £100!
If anyone has a 3g version for sale, send me a pm so we can work something out (I'm in Texas).
Thats a fantastic deal. Maybe too good to be true. Is the seller reputable?
If its an auction, then 100 pounds is just the starting price or the current bid? Or a "buy it now" price?
If its just the starting price or current price, keep in mind that the huge majority of auction bidding happens in the last couple hours leading up to the auction end, even the last couple MINUTES.
With any online auction, make sure the seller (not just the website) has a good reputation. I typically will not even consider buying from somebody that has less then something like a 98% rating. A marginal or poor rating means, at a minimum, that the seller is not good at communicating (responding to inquiries or issues), and /or slow at shipping (none of which you want). Worst case, a bad rating means that they are a scam artist.
I'm not sure why people keep mentioning auctions or buy it now prices.
All I said was that the seller wants £100 for it, and that's the flat price.
I think it's an ok deal.

You said in your OP that it was on an auction website. So unless you explicitly note otherwise we might assume its . . . (wait for it) . . . AN AUCTION!!!!! Imagine that!!!
Also, I'm the only one that mentioned auctions or buy it now price, so I don't know why you're on about "why people keep mentioning . . .".
You haven't given many details, so its hard for anyone to say whether its a good deal or not. Is it available straight from this "fairly reputable auction site", or is it the type of site where individuals post things for sale (like eBay). If its an individual seller, do they have a good rating?
I have a HTC View that I would sell for $240 + shipping if anyone is interested, I think I'm going to list it in the XDA market place.
Flyer
Do you have a link to your Flyer on MarketPLace?
thx
I am in the US looking to buy one of these. Any recommended sellers?
From xperia blog they recommend Clove and Handtec from the UK. Handtec seems cheaper (vs ebay for perhaps better returns/warranty).
I'd appreciate any recommendations from people here who have purchased.
Handtec sells for $572. Ebay is closer to $540
If I do get it from ebay (from taiwan or HK), could I run into issues with languages?

I got one from clove. No issues.
Sent from my Nexus 5X
I purchased mines at Plemix for $520 + $28 shipping. Also purchased a Z1 compact there with no problems. Shipping was within 2 days so that's a plus. Currently, there's a free 32 GB memory card special until the end of the month. Haven't really had any issues with them and never really contacted customer service so I can't say anything about that. Not too sure about the returns/warranty but there's info about that on their website.
Thanks. Although from some quick research on Plemix I see some mixed reviews. I'm sure most of these places online are fine if everything goes smoothly. Its really when something goes wrong (ie. item arriving damanged, DOA) to see how it is handled.
I've also noticed that Amazon UK has it for cheaper than Clove and Handtec. The Xperiablog article said AmazonUK does not allow VAT to be excluded but it was excluded when I added it to the cart. Actually, I notice I can buy directly on Amazon US for around $540. I might just do that.

Isn't the one listed on amazon from third party retailers like expansys? I wonder how they handle returns just in case.. any idea??
I got mine from Amazon for $550 and received it next day thanks to Prime shipping. No issues.
I ended up ordering through amazon as well. I decided to save $10 and get the non-prime option. Although I ordered it Friday and it came today. I just wasnt at home to sign for it. (Missed the guy by 10min)
I think the only issue will be if I need to send it back for warranty. I'll have to pay shipping both ways to Hong Kong or Taiwan or wherever the phone originated from.

I live in Australia and have bought the z1 and z3 compact from Clove UK, have bought other tech from Handtek, had no problems or issues with using Australia cell provider, support or anything. I now have the z5 compact which I bought from ebay Quality Deals Store on Ebay when ebay had 20% off store wide recently, got it delivered for a bargain $600 AUD. The phone came quick, set it up in English easy and it works on Australian networks etc. Couldn't be happier ☺
Amazon was perfect for me. These past two weeks has it seldom carry the Z5c as Prime... usually a seller ships some 10 devices to Amazon's warehouses (to be categorized as Prime) but those fly off the shelves. In the past two weeks I have seem some 60 Z5c as Prime to disappear within hours, but if you look daily, they are there.
If you are in the US, at $550 Prime is worth it over ebay's $540 in my opinion; faster shipping and 30 days possibility to return it.
do you need amazon prime account for it? is this different from 3rd party sellers on amazon?
I'm going to the Beijing area later this month. I'm thinking about picking up an Amazfit in a store. It should be easy enough to change it into English firmware or PACEify it.
Has anyone bought it in a store in China? I wonder which stores are selling it - any electronics store or just Xiaomi branded stores and what price to expect?
Don't know what price are at in China but I got mine online for $104 us dollars.
I'm Europe based, and in order to avoid VAT and admin. fees by importing from US or China-based online webshops I have to buy through Europe-based resellers - and then the price is something like >$200 according to my research. So it would just be easier (cheaper), when I am in China to buy one there if possible.

I'm based in europe and the price I paid was £82 from gearbest and also geekbuying (I bought 2 amazfits).
You don't pay any VAT or admin tools from either of those retailers if you just choose the standard delivery method,.

UK.
I'm in Denmark. So gearbest ship from within the EU? Maybe I'll look it up.
Though still traveling to China so if anyone have information about getting one of these out there let me know.
Check with some aliexpress seller (sort by number of orders) and ask them from what town they are. Maybe you will be near them, so you can make personal deal. Or just order from aliexpress and put the adress for delivery where you will be in that time. Easy as that
You can do same with Gearbest/geekbuyibg, etc.

Yes gearbest ship to the EU. Though recently I've had a better experience with geekbuying (their shipping was much faster)
I think buying online would actually end up being less hassle than buying in China, and I'm not convinced there would be a huge saving anyway. At least with buying online you have some protection and after sales support.

No they are not shipping from the EU, but they have found a way to avoid for you to pay taxes.
Probably won't last after brexit, as it is rumored that they ship via UK and then avoid taxes at all.
Just a short update. I ended up buying Amazfit Pace from the Xiaomi store in the shopping mall 'Modern Plaza' (https://goo.gl/maps/ETduKM7SLcw) in Beijing. Easily accessed by the subway.
The unit price was 799 Yuan. No problems by installing English firmware and updating to 1.3.4f.
I did look for it other places but couldn't find it anywhere. I found most resellers only had a few Xiaomi phones and sometimes more simpler fitness trackers.
Starting this thread for anyone that buys the international version which releases this week... let us know where you bought it and how much you paid... I'm interested in this phone like many but have limited places in USA to look to buy (most are charging well over the actual price). This will help all of us find the cheaper places to possibly get this phone! Thanks in advance!
So far, I've found:
CLOVE UK: 644.00 pounds (around $820 USD)
EASYCELL: $1050 CAD (again around $800+)
I'm thinking this is high for this phone as if should only be $599 - $649 USD...
Go for the Chinese vesrion which is cheaper and bootloader unlockable. 537 euros only.

Not possible atm as far as I know.
I am from USA and looking to purchase the global version for a similar price as flipkart is selling in India. I want this phone but damn its hard to find one for a decent price that isnt insanely marked up.
Giztop sells for $720 for 8gb ram 256gb rom but thats the chinese version. Anyone in USA had luck finding this phone for sale?
