Epic for sale?

Hello all, I'm looking for a Samsung epic for sale between 150 & 200$ if anyone has one or has seen a deal like that would you kindly tell me? I love my hero but its about time to upgrade to bigger and better things,

There's this website called eBay.com that might have what you're looking for.
Good luck with your phone buying goals for 2011 OP!

Also try craigslist for your location.

I've looked on eBay, way outta my price range, and no one is selling the epic on Craigslist for my area

You're not going to find one for that price unless something is wrong with

Don't know why someone would sell you one for that price when they can easily get more for it on ebay or CL.

Got mine for $200 a few months back off of Ebay. It is difficult to find them for that price, but not impossible.. The good news is there are a lot of people in this forum who want to stick it to Samsung, maybe they will do what they keep saying they are going to do and sell.

Yeah, I'm sure that's how someone would stick it to Samsung, sell their phone for less than half of what it's supposedly worth and then can't buy another phone.... If you're that dumb you deserved to be screwed by Samsung!

If you are up for an upgrade through sprint then I believe that the epic is selling on amazon for $99. Not sure if it works with an upgrade or if it is only for new customers but it might be worth checking out

I would consider a trade... Only for a pristine, mint evo... Black, not white

Ill have to look at amazon for that, and if already had the evo I wouldn't be trying to get an epic though I would trade if I did, I like the epic more lol I wouldn't want the black evo ne way white is so much better IMO

With all the angry people on this site you should be able to find someone. But, If they sell their phone what would they have to complain about anymore. I'm just puzzled why they didn't take their phones back within the 30 day refund period? Well good luck. I hope you read all the threads before you buy one so you know what your getting. I have eb13 and my phone runs great. I still think this is the best phone I have had so far. Just my $.02

Yeah I hear its a great phone, and its everything I want in a phone, great size all around awesome keyboard brilliant display, all that, granted Samsung might not be the best, but they can make a damn sexy phone and to the amazing Guy, my upgrade is in November, and thru radioshack its 150 so ill prolly have to wait till then, unless I can find a better deal,

New phone trade in...

Hey guys, I've been wondering about something recently. Does anyone know sprint's policy on phone exchanges? Basically, I have an epic and this is my 3rd replcement phone which is STILL going crazy. I was wondering since this is my 3rd phone should I try waiting till the nexus s 4g comes out to replace with that since its a "similar phone"? Or should I just exchange now for whatever? Thanks
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

slim and no chance of exchanging it for a nexus imho. they will just change it out for another epic

Its like a crazy number of replacements before they will give you a new one, let alone upgrade. Doesn't hurt to tty though. I have better luck when calling
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk

What I would do is go ahead and take it in and get a replacement. Hopefully the next one won't go all crazy on you. Then, if you really want the Nexus S, when it comes out, sell your Epic and use that money to put towards the Nexus.

There is no comparable replacement to the Epic (yet), so you'll keep getting Epics if they are exchanged. Nexus S will not be comparable.

Doesn't matter... Sprints not going to just give you one of there next top phones to replace an older supposed top of the line that did live up to its potential. Not with out a fight at least.
As one of the other relies stated it takes a lot of trade ins before they would offer you a different phone.
It took me 8 Treo 800w's(3 in one visit) and about a weeks worth of calling customer services and retentions before they finally gave me a Treo Pro as a replacement.
They even wanted me to use my early upgrade about a month early. I did get to stick of to them a month later... used my upgrade to get the Pre(lol) and sold the Pro for 300$.

I've had pretty good success through email, but you have to be reasonable. You might be able to swap it for an EVO. Just be nice they tend to be more willing to help if your nice.

Traded Vibrant for Galaxy S2

Just traded my vibrant at Target for 90 bucks and they are having a sale on galaxy s2 for 99.99 so with tax I paid 15.99 for the phone. Its for new and upgrade. Thought I would share.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App

Sweet deal! I didnt know Target took trade ins on phones. Where was it at?

Sounds SWEET!
Now time to convince T-mobile for an early upgrade. Any ideas? I'm not a very good debater.

Great deal!
Ahh... I envy the US market so much. Here in Brazil a sgs2 costs at least 17 times more than what Target was selling. And nobody does decent tradeins here.

LUCKY GUY!
I went to my Target and bestbuy and they pretty much told me to **** off because a deal like that is impossible haha gotta love the american attitude.

What?! This is amazing. I'm sappy for you, and myself haha.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

Yeah thanks guys. The trade in program was through next tag I think. They take all kinds of stuff too.

In order to "upgrade" you need to essentially extend your contract right?

Edit..
Never mind I just re-read the OP.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium

so I guess what it comes down is extend the contract now and get a Galaxy 2 (for almost free) or wait till it expires to resign and get a Galaxy 3? Probably will wait if that's the case.

Yeah that's usually the case.

Very baffled by the fact that when the S3 came out, AT&T wanted $549.99 no commitment pricing. Why the hell is the S4 $639.99???

Yes I agree...contract prices are the same...I was always under the impression even if ur not due for a contract upgrade u can still resign and save 250 off retail...so the phone would be 639-250= 389 + tax....but yes I'm wondering too why it's so much

Early termination fee is 325 minus 10 bucks for every month in contract. Makes you due for another upgrade. 325 + 200 for s4 + 36 upgrade fee will save you a good bit of money compared to buying it outright.

That is true didn't think of it that way...maybe I'll look into that...
Maybe I'll wait til the phone is released and play with it in store first (which is what I should've done with the HTC one) before making that choice again

Not normally checked. Not like it's gonna say bootloader unlocked on the screen when they go to take the return. More than likely the person is just gonna check for damage and wipe it clean. Go ahead and reset it before you take it back up there.

trading my htc one for nexus 4?

so i originally had the iphone 5 but i traded that for an htc one and i must admit am a phone junkie always wanting to switch things up and now i got an offer for my htc one plus 40 dollars. only thing im sad about is downgrading from 32 gigs to 16 but for some reason i really want to try the nexus 4. would you guys reccomend this? yes or no. i dont think you can go wrong with either phone honestly

You're getting ripped off in my books. HTC one is twice the phone mate.

well the thing is nobody on craigslist is selling one. should i ask for more money? if i honestly deserve more money than $40 plus the trade im sure hed understand and if not i can just keep my htc one. i just kind of like the hardware setup of the htc one as far no hardware keys etc

Is the HTC unlocked? Sell it on eBay and buy the nexus. But honestly, it's not worth it the nexus is somewhat of a downgrade. My bro has a one and the screen and speakers alone are a lot better. Plus, 16gb does suck I have 10 GB of music and I don't like to stream because T-Mobile doesn't have the best signal when I'm driving around town. And if you don't like sense put cm on the phone. The developer edition comes out soon so vanilla Roms should be bug free and updates will be on par with Nexus 4

htc is not unlocked i could sell on craigslist though how much money extra would i be getting if i sold my htc one and bought a nexus 4 from ebay. i would honestly rather just keep my htc one than go through that hassle how much money would be good for a fair trade and how can i explain to him such as we already agreed on 40 but plan on meeting up tomorrow

Sell the one on eBay or clist or swappa. Then buy the nexus off of eBay or the playstore. I think a new nexus is about 350 or so. A HTC one used is about 450 to 500 I'm guessing. The point is that a bad deal on your side. The nexus has been out for about a year and the one for about a month. The nexus can be boght brand new at a cheaper rate then the one.

Oh see I don't know how much you can really sell for since its locked to a certain carrier. My brother got a really good deal when upgrading contract it essentially cost him $50 (paid $150 with a $100 mail in rebate) if I were you I would just keep the HTC. Is there something it lacks for you

Its not in stone. I've backed out of deals just say you did some research and the price difference is not worth the trade. You aren't obligated even if you make a verbal agreement to meet.

honestly i just wanted to try something different and the nexus looks pretty bad ass to me i just like the over all design. i am not all up to date on specs and features so im not going in very educated to this trade thats why i came here i like the htc and all but i really have always sort of had a thing for nexus phones. so just keep the htc is the vibe im getting? what phone WOULD be worth trading the htc one for? im always looking for something new...smh

Nexus 4 has a bad photo camera.
No full LTE support.
No extSD.
but has much better software cos it's vainilla/aosp Android with Google binaries that are supported on AOSP without issues.

The Nexus 4 hardware would be a downgrade. How about you flash your H1 to aosp instead? Then you would have the same software as the nexus.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

Currently no phone is better in my opinion. This and the gs4 are essentially equal in hardware it depends on preference of amoled over LCD. However, I do think the features touchwiz offers like the hover gestures and stuff are better than things sense has

so say i really really just wanted to trade for some reason, and did the trade plus get $50. i know i have the better phone but atleast im not getting ripped off as bad? or is this still pretty bad?

OP, if you are in such a hurry to try the Nexus 4 that you're willing to allow yourself to be ripped off by a local buyer offering you only $50, you are carazy.
$100 is more like it.

Does it really? My brother hasn't complained but I think he's gonna flash cm soon anyways. I had a s3 for about a month and it never lagged and that was just a dual core but I suppose there's a big difference between sense and touch wiz
