I want to sell my HTC Wildfire
Bought Saturday 09 October 2010 - five days ago
Paid 299€ | 264£
Resell Price 240€ | 211,50 £
+ Shipping Price 10€ | 8,8 £
The Phone is new so don't bother ask if it's damaged, used 2 days.
If interested contact me with private messages
Payment method accepted : Paypal
The item will be shipped the day after the receivement of the payment.
Dave.
You'll have trouble selling at that price. They cost £200 new.
If I had paid 200£ for it I would sell it for less, but I actually paid it 299€ so, it's barely impossible for me to sell it for less.
The Phone is without contract, so every SIM can be used, I don't actually pretend to sell it, but I try, if someone is interested I'm here ^^
Dave
Why did you buy it?
It seemed to be the phone for me.
But actually does not meet my needs.
It's a bit too slow and sluggish for what I need.
A better android version can resolve the speed issues (if the 2.2 really brings a 2x to 5x faster performance) but I don't actually trust HTC for this update, and "stock marketing e-mail replies" are never something good.
To say it briefly, I tried it, i does not meet my needs. And it seems it will never meet them

Haha, so your saying that if you buy it overpriced then you can take more for it then the acual new price? That pure idiocy, it like if you were to buy a
HTC desire for 600€ and then selling it for 550€ just because you paid a overprice for it then the original 400€.
well all you UK tesco fans, you can now get it for £179.99 with £20 free topup.
makes me a little sick in my mouth when i think of what i paid for it a few weeks back lol

Not in every country it cost the same ^^
Actually here the retail price is 299 - 270 € (Without brand or contract) . So I think someone can be interested.
Same thing for the desire, here it is 499 - 479.
Maybe it's more convenient in your country, but here it's not a crazy price ^^
Dave.
I brought the phone back to the store, willing to permute and buy an HTC Legend.
I discovered that the unit was defective, and it was much slower than the others in the store, what doesn't worked , I have no idea.
The only thing I know is that now I have a new HTC Wildfire (Brown and not White as before, shame) and work much better, no 3D obviously, but the sense now is smooth and the touchscreen reply faster.
No Reason to sell this now xD
Admins can close the topic.

I will buy one ASAP.
Why? Tablets aren't ergonomic. It's just some dodgy fad. You are MUCH better off with a netbook which is a convertable, because you can't use a tablet much except watching movies..
Whereas, a netbook convertable, you can use it as a tablet, and as a laptop.
I have like 3x netbook + 2xnotebook and just need this like 'big phone' xD
Better not be that much when it comes to NA. If it's anywhere near the price of the iPad, it wont sell. Too bad, I had high hopes.
I can't complain on price just wonder why:
- there is no AMOLED Screen
- no bigger battery ...
- no faster processor like 1.2 or something.
- WiMAX - 802.16e on 2.5 and 3.5 Ghz?
...
800 EUR is only the recommended price by the manufactor. Those are allways way of regarding to phone manufactors. The Galaxy S for example as a recommended price of 649 EUR buts sells for 450 EUR since it's start.
expansys always jack up their prices
they always charge like 200 more over other places
Don't forget that price includes exspansys tax. I'm guessing on a street price more in the lines of Euro 600.
550 pounds (USD 846, euro 660) from clove on pre order..
I think the price is too steep and it is a real pity that it doesn't have an samloed screen.
I think I will wait for the 2nd generation next on this one.....
this thing is waaaay too expensive.
I was expecting about 350-400 euros.
I'm not an apple-fanboy but it should definitely be cheaper than the ipad.
Despite the fact you can call with it, it shouldn't be more expensive then the galaxy s... The thing is bigger, no Amoled screen...it should be cheaper in production.
This thing is never gonna sell if it realy will cost bout 700 euro, never.
People won't use this as a phone and if it costs 700 euro, i would buy an ipad
u guys can find the actual price here
http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/02/samsung-galaxy-tab-reported-to-retail-at-699-and-799-in-europe/
Expansys always have prices like £100/£200 over what they actually are. They just want to be seen as the first to offer it. I bet this will be >£400.

Well actually you can't. It seems samsung havent released the pricing yet or at least confirmed it. So all these shops are guessing. Reading clove more carefully even their price of 550 pounds has a notice saying that the pricing is yet to be confirmed.
Maybe there is hope the prices might come down
It's going to be interesting to see exactly where this ends up being priced as I think that is what is going to make or break this device.
For me ipad will be the benchmark for price. At least 30% cheaper for tab to make it worth while.
Sent from galaxy s. JG4 + oneclick lag fix version 2.3
Cut that price in half Samsung!
Update: So we're hearing some conflicting information here. Samsung itself is telling us at IFA that no pricing has been announced and that any prices floating around are speculation -- but it seems the company has already announced a suggested retail prices of SEK 9,000 in Sweden including VAT, which works out to about $1,240 (or $930 without VAT). In other words, even after taxes have been removed from the equation, you're looking at a pretty pricey option for an unsubsidized device here. Let's hope we see some steep discounts on contract, eh?
Looks like suggested retail price is 1000euro ? 800euro looks like that will be price for this samsung tab.
Samsung Galaxy Tab Over 1000USD would you buy it?
The price and the spec of the galaxy tab is already out. You are expecting to be paying about £680 in UK for a 16GB Tab (around USD$1,050).
Are you interested in buying the galaxy tab?
How do you feel about this price point?
How well will it compete with Apple IPAD that is quite a bit cheaper?
Here is a good deal I found on ebay India, if you missed the firesale or don't have anyone in US to ship it to you or carry it for you - and don't trust yourself to handle to shipping and customs yourself - you can buy it here - a little expensive - but cheap for a tab of such hardware, and now that Android is there on it
Worth the 350$ - as it includes shipping and customs
I don't know the seller, but have bought stuff from them - pretty good - but takes 3 weeks to get stuff - so if u want one :
http://www.ebay.in/itm/HP-TouchPad-...5?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_203&hash=item3f0ebcdf75
But again, I or anyone at XDA staff does not take any responsibility for this
That doesn't seem like a very good deal to me? Those were selling for $149 during the firesale. So you're saying that $200 for shipping it to India is a good price?

Lol. Read this wrong. Thought you meant $200 for an HP Touchpad and he is right it is too much. You can get one in the US for $200.
Why go for a TP for 350$? Get a Asus TF instead or GTab if you want VFM.

I sold my 32GB TP for $280 for which i paid a lot of customs and shipping haha. I don't think its a good deal on ebay. Also the seller cart2...... is just plain bogus, they order your goods after you finish your order on ebay
I agree with archat once can get a better Device for those 350 which is TF, galaxy tab, even gtab is better.
yes cart to >>>>> is total crap...
Read what I said, it's only a good price for those people who don't want to ship it to India themselves or don;t have anyone to bring it from US.
Hardware is same as any other tab and that costs 600-700$, so 350$ is not bad compared.
Your opinion, you can have it
But, 149$ was NOT a realistic price, better to get over that - even HP has.
@Crush : How much customs you paid for it ? You got it for 280$+customs+shipping ? Can you explain
And i don't know about the seller at all - bought twice items were small and reached in time - were exactly the same price as US price.
Just to clear this up for anyone who isn't quite grasping what this thread is about, madnish30 is providing a link to eBay India. If you don't live in India, or need a Touchpad shipped to India, then why are you even posting in this thread?
$150 is NOT a reasonable price for ANY Touchpad. GTF over it. Consider it a one time sale price. US resales of the Touchpad seem to have settled at $200 and $250 for the 16GB and 32GB models respectively.
Considering this and the cost of shipping to India from the US, plus the time it takes to get through customs, $350 isn't a bad price for this tablet. The Touchpad has very good hardware, and is worth the $350 even in the US. It was never worth the full $650 retail price that it originally was, but that's another story.
So, in short, if you don't have any reason to need a Touchpad delivered to India, then don't post in this thread. It really is that simple.
Exactly, well summed up CFB
The touchpad is worth 350$ or more itself, for the hardware _ functionality and the OS too - I agree it's no Galaxy tab, but hey that Galaxy tab comes for 700$ not cheap ! And this is for 350$ for almost the same hardware.
Besides, inclding customs and shipping the seller is earn around 30$ a shipment which is not bad !
250$ is the average cost in US today, so 350$ by no means is bad for India that too including customs !
149$ was a throwaway price, but seriously one need to get over it, it's long gone - and those lucky people who saved a 100$ good for them !
Again, I shared a deal - but nobody is compeling you to buy, you can keep looking maybe one day you find one for 50$ or maybe not
Is it me or are people paying over $850 for the international version of the S3?!?!
That's crazy, the 32GB is $930+ ...
I was hoping the ISPs would carry so I would only have to pay around $200 with contract, and now I'm never going to get one :'(
Whatta hell Bell Canada!

I ordered mine from Handtec for $715 all in, not including import taxes. Still really expensive, but I paid the same for the SII on release.
Mine will run me approximately $760 after taxes and fees imported from clove.co.uk

You must realize that for some (myself included) it is just easier to buy off someone/business that will have it locally than to worry about shipment issues, delays, taxes etc.
As far as I can see, the average price for the international version 16GB is between CAN$720 and $750, add shipping and ON/BC HST on top and you're looking at way over $800. Plus most of these folks on kijiji and craigslist that are selling this, they do it for small profit.
I am patiently waiting for the blue colored one and I go through a great phone importer from BC, i.e. MobileDNA. Those guys are great with the numerous transactions that I have done with them over the years.

$670 - $695 is what I'm seeing before taxes and shipping from places like Clove, Handtec, and Expansys USA.

Yeah but I wonder what the import/duty fee's will cost? I bought the Nexus One and it cost me about 120$ on a 550$, so I'm assuming if you buy it for $720, you'll end up paying another 200$ for fees!!!

Not all sites charge taxes, in that case you will end up paying taxes.

That's where I got my Galaxy Note (they served me well). What kind of price did you get from them? I emailed them just a moment ago.
ya, ive ordered my last couple phones from handtec (HD2, S2, S3) and they've all come up to around the same price of $700 after shipping.
But since i live in Ontario, the tax gets me hard and is usually around $100 once the package comes from FedEX - making it a total of $800
ya its steep, but im such a sucker for new phones so ya.
You're looking at ~$800 if you live in Ontario - other places in Canada will have cheaper tax so you'll pay a bit less
Hola
I have bought from Handtec myself. My greatest concerns were always about getting warranty on these high-end devices. As you would know IF something was wrong with the phone, shipping it back to the UK was required, this in itself was stress. I saw a few posts here when the S2 was originally launched that some folks had to ship it back, and then wait like a few weeks before getting back a replacement. I wanted to avoid this potential issue and hence looked for a Canadian distributor to handle this stuff.
Interestingly the only reputable company I found was way out west in BC... hence I now buy all my latest phones through them.
Killing me to know that I have to wait on the blue colored version until next week or so.

Allright now the canadian dollar is worth more than the american dollar so why is the nexus 4 more expensive. Shouldnt it be cheaper? Now its 359 for the 16gb version right and fricking taxes and shipping make it 416$! so pissed.

Don't care? Check.
Ask your government, it probably costs extra since it comes from the US.
Either that or Google doesn't like you guys.
Because Cell-phone market is more stable than Stock Market.
Also it doesn't matter how much the cell-phone cost is in one country and compared to other. There may be extra charges like custom duty, tax, and VAT. Thus the price may increase
Currency isn't the only factor involved in pricing.
with google its not so bad but many other companies price hike in different regions; best example i can give is here in australia photoshop is twice the price that it is in the US but our dollar is worth more than the american dollar ......how that makes sense i dont know.
with Google play however its probably added import costs and taxes added to the price $416 is about the same as what we pay in Australia after shipping + tax and i believe US price is like $385-$395 inc tax + shipping so the price difference is pretty close so i don't think its a case of Google screwing regions over.
Probably because it ships from the US into Canada, then there's also tariffs and whatnot. RIM is based in Canada so methinks they really do have an Apple and Android tax.
And in Europe it costs 349 Euro, they just exchanged the currency symbol and added 10 CAD Dollar more.
So basically the unit costs 362 USD in Canada which is still cheaper then Europe with 459 USD (349 Euro)

This is the case with every item sold in Canada. No idea why you think google would price it different. And are you really complaining about the price of the phone being 415 after taxes, find me another phone with the same specs that less than $600 after tax.

It's nine dollars more... I mean.. c'mon.
It's because in the LONG term the US dollar is worth more.

Im sorry that im complaining about that much money, i dont have much. If you do please give me some.....douchebag.
The price it is set, is determined by not only currency costs, but also factors such as transportation costs, tariffs (although there is no apple or android tax), in some cases the necessity to have French on it as well. There are many reasons, and simply put we are talk about less than 10$. As it relates to this case, I doubt there is an international tax/tariff, Google has a Toronto office where these phones are from, they are shipped from Kentucky, and no duties are applied, which suggests they are covered under NAFTA.

Then perhaps you should find a different phone with cheaper price instead of complaining here. No one will help you with that attitude.
If i calculated correctly for my province(~15% federal tax+Qc provincial tax) i pay 412 before shipping... besides aren't you used to it yet? We keep getting screwed over on pricing for so many things in Canada its life (although I'm sure other places have it worse) I'm not rly complaining since I'm still gonna get it and brag to all my friends lol its still a pretty good price for a phone like this can't wait (for it to come back on Play store and I can order lol)

Yeah there are some sort of extra fees charged as well, whether it be tarrifs or import taxes, etc. The Nexus4 costing $9 more here is actually quite good compared with the iPads that cost $20 more, and the iPhone5's that cost a whopping $50 more. $50 more, seriously... I'm just happy the Nexus4 is a minute $9 more.
