Newegg has the Unlocked GSM Galaxy nexus for $699, brand new:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...tion&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-cables-_-na-_-na
You can get 2.6% cashback from ebates.com
Then you can get whatever cashback from the credit card you use (for me, its 1.25% from american express, who also doubles the mfg warranty for a year)
If you bought the Google offers for Newegg, itd be another $40 off ($20 for $40 off newegg)
Newegg also has $10 off $50 "new" customers:
http://promotions.newegg.com/nepro/newcustomer050611/index.html
So, for me:
$699 - $40 coupon - $10 promo code = $650 - 2.6% ($17) - 1.25% ($8) = $625 + $20 for the cost of the $40 coupon = $645, cheapest I've seen for a brand new Galaxy Nexus with free 2-day shipping from shoprunner, free regular ground shipping if you dont have shoprunner.
Wow, that is a good find. It is too bad they did not have it last week when i ordered my phone somewhere else.

Is the phone worth getting at $650 or are we better off waiting 1 month and getting it for $600.

seriously though, who'd want to dish out that much just for 16GB?...
unless you have a serious hard on for Samsung or unlimited data & all your media is in "the cloud" you'd be insane to spend that kind of money.
of course, this is coming from the guy who spent $800 on a comic book(Incredible Hulk #181)

I'm waiting until it drops down to 550.00. Right now you are paying a premium to be one of the first to have the phone.

I really want to try out the nexus but its hard for me to give up my motorola atrix 2 since I paid pretty much $340 for it brand new and thats including brand new HD dock, car dock, battery dock, 6 extra batteries, atrix 1 laptop dock, motorola extended battery.
So for over half the cost of the nexus, I bought a fully loaded motorola atrix 2 with all the trimmings.

Well, I personally dislike Samsung and AMOLED, but almost every review out there deems this the best Android phone, if not, the best smartphone out.
I do have unlimited data and all my music is on Google Music, so any space on the phone will be for movies or game downloads.
650 isnt bad, i couldnt wait so i ended up ordering it on ebay for 730, too bad it wasnt in stock at new egg at the time.
also, don't forget that this phone will not have any manufacturer warranty, unlike if you bought it from expansys or negri. I rather have the peace of mind, that's why I bought it from expansys.

where did you get this information?
Newegg has now soldout. That was fast right?
If you use bigcrumbs.com to shop newegg it says you can get up to 4.8% cashback. But if you go to terms it says 4.8% cashback apply for marketplace items only. Is galaxy nexus under the marketplace category?
Too bad, already got mine from handtec and got it today, $690. I wonder which build they are selling.

My contract expires in a weeks time, and I will be changing carriers and upgrading to a new LTE handset (most likely a Razr HD). I am trying to decide if the DZ is worth putting on ebay or not, I have watched a few DZ auctions and they are lucky to go for $100 these days, and that's for stock rom handsets, mine is probably worth even less as its running CM7.2.
I can't believe I paid $650 for the handset 24 months ago, talk about depreciation. What is everyone else doing with their DZ handsets? keeping or selling, I don't really need another old phone sitting in my draw but $100 seems like such a waste of a great qwerty smartphone.
I would keep it myself but I'm also the type of person that would snatch up that phone for $100. I'm Happily using a 3 yr old N1 I paid $115 for a few months ago from a member on here.

I would say it depends on your phone's condition. If it looks fine then you should sell it. If running on stock make it more desirable, then maybe unroot the phone if that's not too much work for you?

it's more like overly marked-up. The Nexus 4 and the iPad mini is sold for about 150% hardware cost and they are still at half of that $650 price.

Interested in buying my Desire Z? Its an unbranded and unlocked GSM model which I purchased outright from Handtec in Nov 2010, it has heaps of accessories such as:
Desktop dock charger
Additional original HTC battery
Black rubber case
Authentic PDair leather case
Original HTC earphones and charger (UK plug like all handtec stock)
I still have the box and receipt
I would sell it for $100 (AUD) plus freight, which is fair I think considering the above accessories cost me well over $100.

The condition is not bad, like not perfect the rear battery door is a bit scratched but you can replace them easily and there is a couple scratches on the corners and a few surface scratches on the gorilla glass as I didnt use a screen protector over the last few months, you can only notice them on certain angles though.
I dont really have the time to unroot the phone, if it was worth more I would probably find time.

I'm looking for the best way to sell my GS3 to get the GN2. I want to only spend like $200 max. S3 is 2 month old, and i have 1 extended battery and 2 additional regular batteries + OEM. Phone is in perfect condition. I see them going on ebay for $350, and i see the Note 2 going for $650. anyway i can reduce that price difference.
You could probably sell for about 400-500 if you throw in everything.

I sold my old atrix 4g on Amazon. I setup an Amazon Seller account. I got a pretty good price for it.
EBay dude. Price it at wherever you want and be patient.
Oh and if you haven't unlocked it yet, you should get it unlocked. Ask for the unlock code from ATT. Unlocked phone have a higher value.

Is the screen scratch free? I find this is the most important thing in a used phone.
Take a lot of pictures and put the extra battery in the sale. Get it unlocked ($25, I think) and put it on eBay.
I just looked and didn't see a used S3 going for less than $360 and the auctions weren't over.

Sold my Slll by itself within a couple hours for$420 minus $30 or something to Amazon commission. Only thing about doing that is the wait to get your money from Amazon which is about two weeks or so.
I've had great luck selling devices on XDA's marketplace. Best part about it is there are no fees!
I'd try here first: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=476
Alright, Thank you everyone for the quick replies. I took one of your advices and I'm posting it on Swappa and trying my luck.
Screen has 2 hair line scratches each are an inch long or less. and they are legit hairline. so dont disturb the output, and you can only see them at a certain angle when the screen is off and cleaned. I've had moshi and militray shield screen protectors on it up untill last month. (took it off after halloween night.
PS: I listed for $450. with 2x hyper ion batteries, 1x extended battery, extended battery cover, and Unused and untested brand new samsung headphones that came with it. (i own bose, so i never opened those oem ones).

Craigslist and sell local only (no shipping) and cash only.
Ebay and Amazon are terrible IMO.
I'd wait for Google to iron out the problems with N4 before getting it.

What would you guys consider a fair price for this phone on Craig's list? The prices in my area are all over the place. On ebay they are selling for 350 brand new with a one year warranty. Mine is a brand new warranty replacement. I'm going to play the waiting game and try for a nexus 4. Also I paid 350 for this phone a year ago through a hookup.
I paid 250$ on craiglist. The guy said he Bought it for 380$. The phone was practically new. So i guess I was just lucky lol. If I sell it it would be 250$ like I bought it. But I see some ppl selling it at 280$-300$. And in bad conditions.

I paid $185 for mine, phones are a hobby to me I still don't think its "worth" that much though, just go 10 bucks below everyone so someone buys yours, you gotta think how often do people have 250 to spend on a phone

If it's in good shape you should be able to get at the very minimum $200, but I would say $250 is fair.

Considering you can buy them new for $300 out of contract at walmart I'd say $250 max in like new condition.

just to let you guys know I listed my phone for $280 on CL and sold for $300 ,two guys that offered me that amount. It might just have been the timing because both were going to be gifts also the phone was flawless as well. I'm gonna miss this phone it was good as hell to me. Now I wait till the nexus 4 become available again, I heard it might February oh well, I cat wait and will be using my Vibrant till then.
That was a quick sell. And yeah, man Google didn't do too well with the Nexus 4 release. I was contemplating getting one, but the whole releasing in batches seems like it would be a pain to get one. Either way, I still wouldn't mind one, but we will see what the next few months bring in terms of new nexus devices

This. Although I might start the bidding lower to get more people to look at it and follow at the beginning of the listing. Also, set the end date for a time when people have the opportunity to look and spend time bidding up the item, such as on a Sunday afternoon when people have nothing better to do (i.e. not 4am, keep in mind time zone differences as well).
Get it unlocked, and sell it on ebay. eBay is your best best. I was getting offers on mine for $200 all day on Craigslist. I ended up trading mine for a white S2 with a bad power button plus $150 .

I've been in the same situation as you, deciding between sticking with a T989 or switching to a G Nexus. In my opinion and after some research, aside from the obvious amount of dev support you get with the G Nex and a 720p display, there's nothing much that would justify that spending money to switch is worth it.
As for day to day use, you will definitely not notice any difference performance wise between these two particular devices. Might as well just wait for the GS3 to become cheaper, at least that has features worth upgrading to and about the same amount of dev support.
I paid 200 for mine

I've bought a couple on local craigslist for $400 in like new condition. They do pop up from time to time. It seems the going rate in the Ventura area is $475. I stumbled across a Verizon one for $350. It had chewed up chrome bezel and battery door. I spent $25 on replacing them and got $500 for it. So don't be afraid of body damage as long as the glass is in good shape.

been looking and have found some a lil bit lower.. im actually looking at two right now
1st) is a Sprint Gnote2 already flashed to pageplus ( which is what i would do with it if i get it anyways) for $220
2nd) is Tmobile Gnote 2 clean imei for $300
cant decide
one hand one is cheaper and pageplus works off verizon towers which would give me good reception wherever i am but fastest data speed is 2mb down .. pageplus plan for $70 with 5gb data is the plan i would get on this...
the tmobile is more expensive , i would get the $70 plan have unlimited data but some complain about call quality and coverage and i use phone for work so not sure... tmobile data would obviously be alot faster and you could talk and surf and the same time which is not a requirement but a plus..
still trying to decide ...aaarrggghhh
Check Amazon every once in a while for deals through personal sellers. For ex. I got a brand new unopened and unlocked iPhone 5 for $480 shipped about 3 months after release just because of how cheap it was.. Used it for 3weeks or so and turned around and still sold it for 788 on ebay

Anything on Craigslist/ Ebay/ Amazon for really cheap- Less than $400 or so, I would consider suspicious. Especially the ones that look really new. Some people claim on insurance and the one they are selling you is the one they probably got off of insurance by ripping someone else off. Ebay is a little better because they have buyer protection- but still, it's only 30 days and the original owner can report lost/stolen, claim insurance after 30 day period.
Bought a Note 2 for $500 brand new and a week later, got it blocked.
I have heard that if you meet with the seller at a Tmobile store, they'll be able to switch over the IMEI- but make sure it's not on a payment plan or you'll be screwed even if you switch over the IMEI..
