S-OFF XTC Clip Group Buy (Worldwide)

With support for the Wildfire S being dropped by AlphaRevX, it looks like the only way to achieve S-OFF is using an XTC clip. For me, it's a bit too expensive to justify buying a clip and using it only once. This thread is for anyone that's interested in pooling together and purchasing the regular XTC Clip that could be shared and then resold. Post below if you are interested and want your name and country added to the list at the bottom.
UK (run by mphi)
The process:
I ordered the clip, and posted it off to the first participant who will post it back to me once finished so that I can post it to the next participant and so on. Everything is done through eBay reputation so that all participants have some protection. I'll set up a fixed price listing with payments through PayPal. eBay buyer requirements: At least 10 positive feedback comments, with 95%+ positive.

Would anyone here be interested in pooling together and purchasing an XTC Clip that could be shared?
I'm thinking I'll order the clip and post it off to the next person, who would post it to the next person after use and so on. When everyone is done with the clip we can attempt to sell it on eBay it and then split the proceeds evenly. It could work out to be quite cheap if enough people are interested.
We'd also have to set some rules to ensure the trustworthiness of the participants (and me) and I was thinking that everything could be done through eBay so that all participants have some protection.
I'm in the UK but don't mind posting to the EU if there are not enough interested people in the UK and everyone else agrees to this.
What do you think?

Hi mphi,

Have you considered XTC Clip Pay as you go?
I can let you have one of these for £20, this includes 1 unlock credit.
Each top up credit would be £15
I hope this helps, let me know if your interested
Thanks

Official XTC Clip Reseller

Hi Darren,
That's a great offer; thanks! I've seen your eBay auctions and the £97.99 price I quoted in the original post is from one of your listings
Though I can't speak for everyone else, I'm a real cheapskate. And buying the non-PAYG clip and sharing it works out much cheaper in the long run:
Revenue from selling used clip @ £10 discount = £87.99 - 0.034*87.99 - £0.20 (Paypal fees) - £0.40 - £1.57 - 0.03*87.99 (eBay fees) = £80.18
Initial cost each = £97.99/5 = £19.60
Estimated actual cost each = (97.99 - 80.18)/5 = £3.57 + postage
(Refund after eBay sale of £16.03 each)
Would you ever consider an XTC Clip rental service? Say £7.50 + £80 collateral (to be refunded after the clip is received back)? PayPal reduces its fees proportionally after partial refunds and I think it would sell quite well...

Hi,
I am in Licolnshire in the UK and would be willing to sign up for this too, provided that it is cheap enough of course!

Brilliant, added you to the list.
One more person and it would be an initial cost of about £20, then a refund of about £15 after resale on eBay.
Is everyone happy with this?

Yep my intention was that it was to be sent from address to address. If people wanted to send phones to me to be unlocked, I would insist on sending the phones back via an insured courier so it would work out more expensive.
If you trust me enough and don't mind spending a bit more to cover the postage, I'm happy to do this as well.

I can't be without my phone tbh... Use it for my internet n stuff, it's just it "could" take a long time. I have waited a couple months now and a couple more won't hurt. As for cost... people are going to have to post the xtc clip anyway, and if I was posting it I would do insured post as it covers me too.

Looking to sell my Lapdock -$200 O.B.O.

Hi guys, I'm selling my lapdock for the Atrix. I bought it brand new during launch day at around $300 when bundled with phone. The lapdock is in perfect condition - Never dropped, scratched or put any kinds of drinks near it.
To be honest i've only used my Lapdock for a total of around 40 hours, i was working on a Windows Conversion for the dock but since I'm a Game Designer and I'm starting to get real serious with a project, i need to let go of it and get a real Laptop...i really like this lapdock its very light and very useful (especially after what Sogarth did with his mods).
I currently see onit priced Amazon, Ebay, and a few other sites that sell it for $200 as the lowest. I'm trying to sell it for $200 if possible.

Shipping to 94607?

Sure, that's not too far.

If you both can't make a deal, i am interested to buy this as well. However would you ship internationally ?

Someone created a thread to sell a laptop he bought new and has used. People that are viewing the thread see someone else point them towards a refurbished unit from AT&T, as though to suggest it's better to go there than buy from the person who created the thread. AT&T refurbished units are a crapshot, you don't know what the previous issue was. They have no bearing on the OP's thread and is a full-on c*$kblock, if you will.

Tried PM'ing a couple of times but aint working! Will give 200 providing shipping to Melbourne Australia is not too expensive. PM me if you can

why the mods havent come in yet i dont know but this isnt the buy&sell section

OSNPA, are you suggesting that it would be better to keep an unwitting Atrix user in the dark, letting him or her purchase a used lapdock for around $35 more than the cost of an "officially" used lapdock, just so the seller will not be offended?
It's called market competition. An informed consumer living in the U. S. with the opportunity to purchase a refurbished dock from ATT would never pay more and wait longer for one unless he or she were doing the seller a favor.
To put it simply, if the seller intends to sell this dock to an ATT customer, he or she will have to lower the price or take advantage of someone's ignorance. In my opinion, it would be bad form to keep a consumer in the dark and just sit back and snicker as you watch a transaction (or in this case, a rip off) transpire. But hey, at least the seller didn't get his feelings hurt AND he made more than what he should have.
Fortunately for the seller, not everyone has access to a refurbished lapdock, specifically our friends overseas, and $200 is quite a bargain in that market. I think everyone has a chance to win in this situation, and to me, it seems like bad form to try and prevent this ideal scenario -- one in which no one feels cheated.
I don't mean to attack you, OSNPA, but I'm trying to understand what you have to gain by trying to foster a market on these forums in which the lapdock is kept at an artificially high price. Are you trying to sell one yourself? Anything to help me understand where you're coming from would be much appreciated.
To the seller, I think you will have no problem selling the dock for $200. (I would not have started so low.)
To anyone who does not have access to a refurbished lapdock, this price is almost impossible to beat.

Refurbished means it was broke...that means it will eventually break or have problems. mine looks like its from the assembly line.

That's actually not true. Refurbished is anything that has been brought back to factory specifications and tested to be working. Yes, some of these are broken units that have been repaired, but MANY others are just returned within the 30-day return period, especially for a once $400+ item like the lapdock. Mine also looks like its from the assembly line. More knowledge here: http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/devices/buy-refurbished-phones.jsp
I'm sure yours looks great though so happy selling!

Well, if customers are uninformed on the price of refurbished lapdocks when there's a thread dedicated to it in this very sub-forum, well I have no pity for them. It's a consumer's responsibility to educate themselves. He's not selling a refubished unit, it is not the same situation, so the prices should have no bearing on what the OP asks. Regardless of whether money is involved, think of it this way: a developer releases a ROM and the 1st response to that thread is another developer saying that he also released a ROM and go to this other thread to read all about it. You may like that idea, I don't know, to me it's a wtf moment.

Disclaimers: I don't know anyone in this thread, I am not selling or buying a lapdock, no animals were harmed in the making of this post, and I am not responsible for you bricking your phone.

Check out the Creative uses for NFC tags thread for suggestions. Lots of people are using them to change phone settings when the they get into the car - turn off wifi, turn on car mode, increase notifcation volume, etc. and for setting alarms.
You can use NFC Task Launcher to change your settings and you can pick up the tags for a couple of quid here.

As was mentioned, the best use I've found is switching to and from different settings profiles depending on where I am. Some might say Tasker is good for this, and they're probably true, but as far as I know using Taskers location based setting changing can only go so far.
This allows fine grained control. Say you work on the same block that you live, but you want different settings for work and home...Tasker won't be able to do that for you. With these, though, you just stick one to your desk at home (or door, as some people apparently are doing ) and stick one to your desk and work. It's fast, simple, and convenient.
Also, they allow you to do a thing called profile tags. Basically, it allows you to switch between one set of settings and another using the same tag. I have one next to my nightstand that'll switch my phone to home mode on the first tap and switch it to sleep mode on the second tap...very nifty
All in all, they're a minor time saver. But they're cheap and easy to program, so why not?
Peter

I just bought 10 from buynfctags.com. I ordered them last Thursday and they arrived Saturday from Seattle, WA to Plano, TX with standard shipping.
The only problem I found is each item has a 5 item minimum. Total was about $12 for 5 cards and 5 keyrings. I got the NTAG variety after seeing somewhere that they are fast, reasonably sized (data-wise) and preformatted.
They work just fine and I've set up using NFCTask Launcher for use in my car that will turn off my wireless, turn on bluetooth, set my volume to 14 and start playing my music.

So I am supposed to order those that are NDEF formatted right?

Should do the job, but be aware most stickers have small memory on them 64k ish... Enough for tasker profiles etc
I should later today have some mifare access control cards and tags these normally have larger capacity
If they work of I may make some available. These normally have much more memory on them between 1 and 4meg

Depends on what you order from them, I just got 10 white discs (stickers) that are capable of having anything written to them, even complex tasks for 65p a tag.

So I like that you can put the sticker/dot on your car dock and it automatically enables bluetooth, sets landscape mode, turns on Pandora or whatever else you program it to do automatically.
But... it sounds like when you remove the phone, it doesn't automatically go back to what the previous settings were. That's too bad.

The tag acts like a set of programming instructions. If you want it to go back to "normal" mode once you leave the car, you can create another tag for those instructions and 'tap' it once you leave the car.

They are supposed to ship them at the of April, so you will get them in May...
By the way, you can get the student discount applied even if you have already ordered..
Simply send them a support ticket with your order ID and voucher ID - you will get €39 back to your PayPal then.
-> final price €360.

They actually refund 40 €

That is an excellent bit of advice, thanks!
Bad news on the delivery times actually as I think I had it in my mind that it would be arriving next week . I'd better remove the ad I put up for the old phone...

How's the screen under sunlight?
Are the speakers loud enough?
Can you please upload the stock camera app?

No idea as I don't actually have it yet These questions and more can be answered once they actually ship it.

Here in US it is on preorder as well. $500 looks like a good deal considering competitors SGS5 $700 and HTC 1 M8 $700 as well. I use phone mostly for playing HD music so audio chip is essential for me. Unfortunately it isn't revealed, so I only keep hope that Oppo being a company putting certain efforts on creation different consumer electronics can do audio reproduction right. I do not know how Kamerton player will look on this so high resolution screen. It can switch to tablet mode and I would like to avoid it.
Anybody else consider SGS5 and HTC 1 and what was your take?

according to some reviews on youtube, the MaxxAudio is quite something to expect.

I've just placed my order yesterday as well.
nice to see another UK user here! XD

Just got the student discount applied! Sweet, thank you Oppostyle

I ordered mine last week. The black US version. Looking forward to it. I hope they start shipping soon!! :good:

I considered both of these but ultimately went with the Oppo because the price was right for an off -contract phone and I'll want to pick up a new one next year after seeing the Qualcomm 2015 roadmap, so not prepared to get tied into an 18-24 month contract!
Also I wanted to give Oppo a chance, they seem to be taking some risks in terms of phone design and I've had the last two Galaxy S versions so something different is on the cards. I may well be the only person in Ireland that buys one, but if there are any other Irish buyers out there you don't have to feel lonely anymore!

I'm in too! With student discount and free gifts I couldnt resist
S5 and M8 are huge disappointments for me... Oppo Find 7a seems to be a perfect phone for me... Just the Color OSwith Android 4.3 and the huge display are things I am not that happy about... But we will see

Picked up mine last month in an Oppo shop in Shenzhen while I was traveling around in China. Very happy with it so far, although I wasn't able to install Google services until yesterday.
Eagerly waiting for some custom roms now!
@vegetaleb: The screen is pretty good under sunlight I'd say. I found the screen to be brighter and clearer than my HTC One M7.
Are the speakers loud enough?
YES! When you turn on MaxxAudio, you'll want to go into the settings right away and turn down the volume. I haven't compared the quality of the speaker to my HTC One yet (it has stereo speakers in the front feat. Beats), but with MaxxAudio turned on you can crank up the bass, treble, volume, etc. This way the sound is pretty awesome for a phone! It's And when using your ear/headphones the sound is just perfect.

Can you say something about the battery life in standby? Would be interesting to know for me who much the device drains per hour when in standby.
