[Q] buying used note 3 with swappa.com - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello
There is a listing for unlocked/rooted galaxy note 3 phone on swappa.com, and I am very much enticed. I wanted to know if it is OK to buy from swappa.com, and if anyone here has experience with that. Also if the listing mentioned is good enough.
thanks

Swappa is great and the seller has sold nine phones there, so I think you're safe there. I have sold one there myself and it was a very smooth transaction.
The price might be a little high though. I paid $500 for a brand new in a sealed box Sprint Note 3 on Craigslist a few months ago.

I wish to get a Galaxy s2, i much prefer it to the Note still, not dissing the note, great kit, just lil too big for me.
How much does an unlocked note sell for second hand in mint condition, anyone got any ideas, im in the uk, ive googled it and ive seen prices of like £300, but i find that hard to believe as the phone is £599 in the shop still where i got it from, so im concerned that some of those online prices me be for copies or variants, i know the S2 had copies knocking about for a while.
Any advice appreciated.

I bought a 2nd hand note for my wife for £370, my mate bought a 2nd hand one for the same price off ebay. I've even found it for sale for just £354 plus £10 postage..I bought my tablet off these guys so its legit.
So about £350-380 would seem to be the going rate for selling it as used.

£599??!! You got ripped off, I got mine brand new for £430 a month ago.
Daaaaayum
Daaaaaaaaaaaaayum WTF the only £370 BNIB Unlocked on Ebay, im selling my GS2 to buy one
I would say 300 2nd hand is about right. I just picked one up on contract for a total contract cost of 370 (so that includes 200 mins/unlimited text/100mb data). I reckon within a month or 2 the resale value will be 200-250.
Mobiles just dont hold their value as well any more imo. Example would be my LG Optimus 2x I paid 480 or something new April last year, by November/December you could pick them up new for 200 new, now I'd be lucky to get a 100 2nd hand for it. After that it put me off ever buying another device within the first 6 months of its life cycle.

got a quote off CEX today, £330 in its mint condition, so ill be listing it around that, i guess online you can get anything cheap if you look hard enough, id like to know if all these foreign cheapo Notes are actually N7000`s or if they are actually the variant.
If i wanted a HTC One, yer i can get it cheap online, but it aint the HTC ONE X, its a different cheaper model.
Checked again today, all highstreet re-sellers have the Note listed at £500+.

Free Galaxy Tab deal updated to cover Note 2 purchases

Samsung have updated their trade-in details to cover people who have recently bought the Galaxy Note 2!
I'm trading in my old S2 for a shiny Galaxy Tab! Saves me selling the S2 on ebay.
Details here:
http://www.expansys.com/samsung-trade-in.aspx
Other phones can be traded in too.
Pity the N7000 isn't listed as one of the trade-in models
Yeah I noticed this the morning I got mine. Although now because they except more types of phone each phone is valued. For my S2 they would give £170, £180 or £190 discount towards a Tab depending on which one. 7" would then cost £30 after the £170 reduction, I have seen the Tab 2 7" selling new on ebay for £160 and can sell the S2 for over £180 easily (£185 trade in at asda when I was checking).
It might be worth checking with your personal requirements but could be better to do it yourself.

$599 shipped New Egg till 11/27

With used N7100s selling for over $600 on Ebay and a dearth of them on the closing marketplace here, I think it will be awhile for prices to drop into the $500-$550 range. I pulled the trigger on one. New Egg has a 30 day return policy and ships quickly. I buy all my PC building parts from them.
Samsung Galaxy Note II N7100 Titanium Gray 3G Unlocked Cell Phone w/ 5.5" Super AMOLED Touch Screen / Bluetooth 4.0
$30 off w/ promo code EMCYTZT2557, ends 11/27
And then you go to pay, and they say the device may be manually unlocked with scratches...
I didn't order, and bought for 550$ from eBay.

The N7100 does not have to be "manually unlocked"
That is for US carrier phones that need to be PHYSICALLY unlocked! LOL Its a disclaimer that does not apply to already factory unlocked phones. and with a 14 day no questions asked return policy, there is not much risk taking here. NewEgg is a very reputable online store.
The only phone on Ebay for $550 was or is a used white one missing accessories. I did not see any new devices selling for $550. I would have bought it if it was a US company.
ALL unlocked phone sellers should have that disclaimer.

There was a black friday deal on ebay for a BRAND NEW Galaxy Note 2. for $550. They sold 1,000.
see if this link works for you, its an expired listing now. but u might still be able to view it.

I think newegg.com extended the sale to 11/27/2012
I purchased mine from Newegg, beginning of November when they had it on sale for $589. It was brand new in the box and runs SWEET!

Chances are that there will be another for Christmas.

I jumped on the $49 with rebate Tmobile deal. TMobile screwed up soooo badly that online orders got canceled and my phone order didn't get processed till after the deal was closed in their system. So as result they manually gave the deal, $49 and I do not have to do the mail in rebate. So not bad, I can get the phone for $49 + $200 etf + $63 for the month of service. Wish I had ordered 3 more.

I am sure and in January maybe $500 LOL At some point I had to jump. Anything less than used pricing was good enough. $550 would have been great. But My Note is on Ebay now and that would be worth less as the Note II goes down so it's a wash going forward. But yeah $550 would have been sweet considering the used ones are selling for new prices on Ebay. Crazy! I am curious what my blemished Note will bring. Its at $290 I had a BIN price pf $350 with 32GB SD Card. But that's gone with the first bid. 5 day auction so it won't be active until later this week.

[Q] Anyone used Swappa UK to sell?

I've put up my Note 4 on Swappa UK, as I was advised to on here when selling other devices in the past. I thought I'd give it a try. Even paid extra to feature the listing.
I then noticed that there are a total of 5 devices for sale on Swappa UK. No need to pay for featuring the ad then.
Am I making a big mistake trying to sell my Note 4 on Swappa UK? Has anyone had any success in the past on there? I know it's far more popular in the US.
I want to know as I also have a Moto X 2014 to sell. I've recently moved house and need some spare moolah. I could've eBay'd it, I have done many times in the past, but they always take a massive chunk. I'm afraid I may now have to lower the price so much I may as well have put it up on eBay and just taken the hit on the fees.
It's £425 btw.
I can't see 4 for sale only 1 in Bolton £395

[Q] upgrade questions

I still have a droid Charge and am finally ready to upgrade. I've decided on the S5 based upon user recommendations and reviews. I tried to get one from Best Buy last week for $1 so I could keep my UDP. Best Buy had none to sell me in the black color. Now I'm stuck buying new phone or out right or getting a used one. What's the better option? and how do I protect myself against getting a bad phone? I once bought an ipod real cheep off ebay and had to put a hard drive in it.
Mike
If you go the used route, check swappa. They are by far the safest. Also, a couple days ago ebay was selling some S5s fairly cheap. Make sure the seller is reputable and is willing to give you what you ask (imei, pictures of everything, why they're selling it)
