Galaxy S Selling Tips for Ebay - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey I really want to get the Galaxy S II but it's not in my poor student budget. So I was thinking about selling my Galaxy S i9000 on Ebay. Do you guys have any tips for me? I have quite a lot of paid apps and the condition is very good. So what could I expect?
Or should I wait buying the Galaxy S II ?
Thanks a lot

bump. please help me guys

I don't have tips, but if you bought all these through the market they are tied to your gmail account when you goto the new phone, so, the person buying the phone wouldn't have them
Unless of course you are selling your gmail account too ^^ As far as price, in Canada, people are selling for 200-300 on craigslist

Agree you cannot sell your apps .
Most will transfer to SGS 2

thanksssss

I always sell my old phones via ebay.
To get top dollar you need the box and all original accessories. Phone needs to be in good condition and preferably factory reset. If you flashed it preferably flashed back to "current" stock so that the buyer can use kies for updates if they wish.
If you search ebay and select for "completed listings" you'll find how much others have actually sold for as opposed to how much they are currently being bid up to. Approx £200 +- 15%. If you don't meet the conditions above it'll be less.
Listing and final selling fees approx 10%, plus paypal fees will make a hole in your selling price
As others have said, your paid apps are attached to your Google account so remain with you when you port your account to your new phone....they can't be sold on.
Hope this helps, good luck

Hello All,
This is just to inform you all that this phone is now sold since I have just purchased it on ebay.
This will be my second Kaiser, and I have to admit that I am very happy with it. I had a Herald before, and the Kaiser is a distinct improvement.
Thanks to all on this site who provide such good advice!! And thanks for helping me find a new phone for my wife!!

How come no one wants to purchase my phone, although its been advertised for longer?
Sorry, 246810. I didn't see that your phone was for sale, and also, although your phone if probably a cheaper offer (if you look at what you are giving with it), I wanted the HTC model not the MDA version because I already have an HTC model myself and I don't want to have two different versions of the same phone.
Sorry!!!
P.S. I might have a Herald for sale when the Kaiser arrives as my wife currently has a Herald and she might not want it any more. Anyone interested?
P.P.S. I regulary send older models to the Philippines (my wife is from the Philippines) as charity as they cannot afford such phones there. If anyone has any of the older models (so far I have sent Wizards and a couple of Universals) and would be willing to donate them to charity (I don't make any money from this at all), please PM me. THANKS!!!!
Hey 246810.
Maybe you should reduce your price a bit to get more interest. Your Phone is a T-mobile branded TYTN so will not have the look of the original TYTN from HTC Which may put some poeple off a bit.
I recently had the opportunity to purchase a MDA vario 3 for £200 brand-new and never used but my heart was set on an orginal looking one. A week later I managed to get an orange branded one with a HTC replacement battery cover £250.
I'm not saying yours isn't a bad offer. But maybe the price is a bit too much for what it is.
Hope you find luck selling it.

Yep, I have a thread advertising my phone. I'm still waiting for my paypal set up to come through and then I will put in on Ebay. Mine is brand new as well and hasn't even be switched on and comes with all you need.
Good luck with your herald- quite personally I don't see myself purchasing a Windws Mobile phone again in a very long time...
just great...

Lol. Okay, point made. If there is a buyer in London, UK then I am willing to meet face to face as this is the safest method for both the buyer and seller. I really do want to get rid of it however, and when my Paypal is sorted out shortly, you can purchase it by paypal if you're interested?....

May I ask if you can buy it for this price brand new? I do find it hard to believe that you can purchase a new Diamond for around £290. Who are you purchasing them from? Cuboosh?...
Also, keep in mind that it comes with 4 cases, two of which are the boxwave clear active case and Siedo's case, and two leather cases, Sony Bluetooth headphones in good condition, along with a virtually unused very compact Bluetooth keyboard that I purchased off Expansys for £60/$120.
not to hijack the thread or anything, but just to let you know, that most people dont really care about that stuff. i wouldnt pay extra for a bluetooth keyboard. why would i need it??? hah 4 cases??!!! one is more than enough. just letting you know why you're having problems selling it so far. maybe try selling that stuff separately??

[Q] Best deal for a Galaxy Tab?

I was told about a retailmenot coupon that would net me a refurbished galaxy tab from AT&T for $250, but today when I went to buy one I found the terms had changed. The discount now only applies to accessories you buy on top of the tab.
I was really disappointed to find the price had gone up (I have almost no need for accessories).
Has anyone else found great deals for the galaxy tab?
nah for me , i bought the galaxy tab , around 900$ in malaysia , without contract CASH .. and after 2months i found the price drop down 300 .. it was like a shock . but hell no , my tab enjoyment worth even 10000$ to have such a nice friends here in the XDA forum Galaxy Tab Section ... dude , if you really wanna buy it , do not focus on the price , focus on the things that will come after you have it ..

Got mine off Woot a few weeks ago for $280. To me when you start pushing the $300 mark for a wifi only tablet you're pushing it. I can't see myself paying much more than that for a tablet. None of the devices really stand out from their peers at this point and it remains to be seen if there really is a long term market for them. I see prices dropping drastically at least for Android tablets as the holidays approach.
I know price is not the most important factor, but I'm just a college kid looking for a cheap yet high-quality tablet that I can use until better, namely quad-core, technology is released.
That $50 or $100 really matters because there is so much that can be done with that money and I'd like to save as much as I can. Can anyone help me find a good deal?
If you're looking for a sprint gtab go to ebay.com.au (australia), they have been selling tabs for less than $200. Not sure about postage rates though...

You're basically buying a toy though. Paying $400-500 for a toy is too much IMO. Especially if you're on a typical college student's budget.
The at&t website lists a refurbished 3g tab for $299. www.att.com

Where to buy?!?!

Okay...I've been drooling over this phone for the past few weeks. I'm almost ready to pull the trigger...but I'm looking for the least expensive but most reputable online dealer to make my purchase. I'm in the USA so it would have to be imported.
Suggestions? Experiences? Warranty issues? I'm all ears. Let me know what your experience has been with the different online retailers.
Cheers!

eBay you can find them as low as 590 used but new ones run about 650

Good Point! eBay is probably the one place I haven't looked! Thanks man!
Amazon has a few sellers offering them for around 650. they're also fulfillment so you get free 2 day shipping.
I'm also getting ready to pull the trigger.
If you're just looking for a cheap price, eBay has Australian Notes on sale, which I think is the cheapest of them all due to currency fluctuations.
Anybody know of a seller that does international shipping that has a REALLY lenient return policy? I tend to have horrible luck with displays and don't want to get stuck with one with defects (I once had to return five LCD monitors in a row because each one had more than two dead/stuck pixels! Also, my current Cellphone, a Streak, has an always-on stuck red pixel).
Given the fact that AMOLED screens slowly develop defects, I would really like to find a seller that offers 14+ day return policy with little or no expense on my part, in case I end up making multiple returns.
I found this in another thread but Integrontech has them for $650 also. Here's the link: http://www.integrontech.com/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-N7000-16GB-Unlocked-Black-p/sam-n7000.htm
I've never used them...so I'm not sure how reputable they are.
I did buy my i9100 from expansys USA and it was perfect! Fast shipping. Never had any trouble with the hardware...so I never dealt with the warranty part. But my experience with them was very good.
Might pay to be a little more patient, I'm thinkin' there will be at least another 50 drop post Christmas.
Just a thought and I could be wrong so...
Be nice to use that extra savings towards accessories though IMHO
When I first started lookin' I couldn't find one below 730.00 so if I can get one for six I can that custom leather case I want and break even there.

Hello! Link please
I've got friends who would buy this for me in either India or Australia.
Where would I have either one of them shop in their respective countries to get me one? Is it worth it, plus shipping, or should I just drop $650 on Ebay? I mean, from what I saw the exchange rate, 35,000 Indian Rupees (MSRP) is $660.
Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Unlocked Cellphone--US Warranty (Blue)

(this phone got no problem with screen!)
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-GT-N7...QL30/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1324089027&sr=8-4
what the hell is blue version ?
I see amazon is listed as an official vendor which makes me curious.
+ there is no warranty on international phones imported to U.S. because the official U.S. versions are the ones sold by the damn carriers via at&t , verizon etc.
There once was a note...

Yeah, I saw that, but the arrival date was in 2012.
Newegg had free 2-day shipping (shoprunner free year trial) and I had a $20 coupon from google.
So, $679 and I'll have it Monday. Plus there is a free charger thingy thrown in, so that's a plus.
I just really hope my unlimited data isn't f-d around with after putting my sim in...

Doesn't the GT prefix indicate the IMEI will be considered a tablet? Some listings omit the GT prefix...I think these are the Polish/Netherland version that doesn't flag ATT as a tablet...
Hmmm...it appears the white one is going for $800 still, while the black(ish) one is $650ish. I'm debating on importing 5 or 6 of these to see if I can pay for mine.
Thoughts?

Best Place to Sell Phone

What is the best place to sell my Note 8?
UgrozaVeka said:
Hi , when sumsung presented the last his device galaxy s10 I decided to renew my gadget. The main problem was that I didn't have enouth money to buy it. I needed to sell my old phone in very quick time but it doesn't was easy to do. Everyone offered me a stupid price like I should give it for free. I wasn't agree to sell very cheap. Here a site https://buybackreview.com/decluttr-review/ with reviews in the shops which have the best quote on Samsung note 8 . So do not rush to sell your phone for free.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
wow, up to $220 USD for the Note 8... I think the best option is to use the samsung trade in, for example, here in Mexico you can get up to $300 USD, in the US you can get the same. Even best buy gives you more, like $260 in discount card, but if you trade in for a Note 10 they give you like $300 USD. So, i think the best choice is to trade in for a new samsung phone.

Will buying an S10 from UAE effect me?

Hey guys,
So my sister lives in Abu Dhabi UAE and she can get me an S10 for about $200-$300 cheaper than I can get here in Australia.
My question is if I get her to buy one for me and ship it here will it have any downfalls?
I don't use Samsung Pay but I do use Google Pay.
While I'm not too bothered about having to flash something my girlfriend (who also wants a phone) won't go for any of it.. She wants a stock phone with no messing and me explaining how easy it is won't change that, I've tried for years with other phones (rooting/roms etc.)
Should I save my money or should I just get the local model here?
For anyone wanting a look

Electronics in the UAE are relatively cheaper. However, buying it may affect your wallet when you will have to get a repair as Samsung doesn't offer international warranties for mobile phones.
Assuming, your sister brings you a device with no defects, it all comes down to the usage of your girlfriend, how mobile abusive she is . (Like showing all the anger on mobile phone etc..) ..
Anyway, I wish I had a partner (girlfriend) who gifts expensive gadgets . Wait !!!!!! I dont have one , let alone one that gift expensive gadgets

Let's not get crazy here! Nobody is gifting anything! We are both buying phones and paying for our own! Haha.. If I had the money to gift a $1000 phone then I would like to imagine I wouldn't need to worry about saving $300! ?
We are pretty good with our phones (both have 3+ year old S7's) the warranty issue is a little worrying but something I may have to take on the chin..

I was just joking about gifting part . If you are safe with mobiles, then its worth getting it for less. But before this, I saw someone's post reddit about buy S10+ and get S10 for free deal in New Zeleand. You can check that deal

Exynos version should be exchangeable, just flash Australian firmware with Odin, you will get the same as the one in Australia.
