Called AT&T, told them I had read about people recently getting the S3 from them for $99 but they were at $199. Would they offer any deals/price matching. Said she could not but gave me a $70 credit towards my "purchase", which actually came off of last months bill. Went to Sam's and bought the phone for $148, 6% sales tax brought me to ~$157. All said and done, this made my purchase, on contract, be $87.
Off contract - would try Ebay, craigslist, or swappa.

off contract price new is lowest at AT&T $549 plus tax.
Used on craigs list will be around $400

Not true, I bought my brand new white GS3 a couple of months ago from ebay for $475 with $10 shipping. You just have to keep an eye out on "Buy it now" newly listed items. I find that people that list with buy it now tend to just want to get quick cash, and don't care about getting top dollar. Always make sure you check out their feedback and always deal through PayPal.
Some list the buy it now listings with best offer options for lower prices too. Just stay away from the auctions.

I'm in a really tight spot, my sister pre-order the iphone 5 at radio shack and they made her purchase a gift card for $50, to buy the iphone 5 when its in store. Now I'm thinking of her getting the SIII. However, I don't want to her to pay for $200 for an SIII when I know radio shack had it for $100 not too long ago. Do you think I should just make her buy the iphone 5?

Amazon wireless for the contract one. And swappa for the off contract one.

I traded mine straight up for a s3. Gotta be patient. I had to pass a lot of deals. The S3 has a lot of hype, so people want a lot for it. But the One X is great. Id do 100 max if you had too.

Ebay. Craigslist is best though, because on Ebay you have to pay a listing fee and a percentage of the cost of the final sale.

Depends on your area. Some people want anywhere from $250-$400 here, you have to follow the posts and price it accordingly.

Craigslist is your best bet, and how much is totally dependent on accessories and condition.
Its the new white version in very good condition. not perfect but damn near. I got it about a month ago.

Where can I get a white GS3 other than Sprint or Best Buy?

When is the Best Buy exclusive on the white Galazy S3 for Sprint going to end? I need to get one off contract, but I refuse to pay $699. I know Sprint is an option but I'm trying to avoid paying tax on the purchase.
Don't only chics buy white phones?? ;-)
Radio shack?

Nope, they don't carry it for Sprint. Apparently only Verizon and AT&T. Seems Best Buy and Sprint are the only places that carry it for now. Sucks. Guess I'll have to keep checking Swappa and Ebay.

how does purchasing from a retailer let you avoid tax?

Most online places won't charge state tax if they don't have a retail presence in your state. Plus Sprint is forced to charge both a state and federal tax on the sale of their phones which ended up being about 15%. I'd rather wait and find it somewhere else.

Yea, Sprint is the cheapest you will find it in store. I bought a sealed one off eBay for $600, plus no tax.
I have a hard time believing Amazon isnt going to drop price this phone over the next few weeks. Last year i got 4 E4GT's - 1 for $79 and 3 for $0.01. I dont expect the GN2 to be $0.01 but where does it say this phone will be price locked ? Anybody have any proof ? I cant imagine it staying at $299 for too long on Amazon no matter what during this holiday season. Bought 1 for $79 the week of thanksgiving and then the week after all the phones went for $0.01 until Dec 19th or 25th whereabouts. This high price is killing me. Trying to hold off...

Best evidence I know of is the arbitrary upgrade pricing release date of 1/1/2013 long after seasonal sales. $299 is only for new contracts as of now.

I think best buy price matches sprint off contract price though.
Well I went to sprint and the phone is actually 700 because of an off contract purchase fee. I left because that's bull. So their actual price is a lie. So after tax its 740. So I will find one on Craigslist hopefully sooner than later. The only plus is no activation fee on off contract phones

I know. All I see in Michigan are tons of people wanting to buy or trade for one. I might have to bite the bullet. But 50 bucks is 50 bucks. And regular price should be regular price

Ive seen them for around 650 sometimes less on ebay. or you might try best buy to see if they will price match sprints 650. they did that for one person on here.
Did you guy's see that the Galaxy S3 is free on TMO this weekend? The Note 2 is $199.99 right now. However these prices are with special mail in rebates. Some on SprintUsers posted this screen shot. Seems like some awesome mail in credits. $49.99?

Are there any sites selling this for cheap?

I know the new nexus is out but I want a Samsung made phone. I assumed that google would continue selling these with a lower cost but they did not. I don't want to pay $300 for a galaxy nexus because I could get a nexus 4 for that. Do you think the galaxy nexus price will drop?

You gotta put this in Q&A.
Since I'm already here.
I got my gnex a month ago on eBay for 182.00$.
If was posted as rooted and a couple people bid on it so I had to wait it out two hours and last second bid.
I have it and its mint. No scratches. Super clean!!!.
At the moment people are going to be cheap. They are going to jack up the price so they get a N4 for free.
Try to wait a couple months or Craigslist and eBay it. But just some advice , the cheap ones will be in horrible used condition.

That's like $400. Considering I was willing to let mine go for $250 I'd consider that a rip off but I have no clue how different the markets are.

[Q] Selling Questions

Wife and I might be leaving Sprint due to having bad service at home and work, but not in between. How annoying is that if we're roaming and can't use our data? I got a call from Sprint offering a free out on both lines with no ETF due to data roaming that's occuring while I work. We have an Airave here that we got for free (and have no problem sending back to Sprint).
Anyway, onto the question. What price should we be looking at to sell our phones? Both are in great condition -- hers is white, and mine is black. Hers has an Otterbox Defender on it and mine has a Commuter.
I was thinking about $250 a piece for a total of $500 to help pay for our new phones on another carrier.
Thoughts and comments are appreciated! Thanks
I think your price is too high. $200 if you are lucky but $150-175 per phone is more realistic. This phone has been out over a year and used cases have very little value.

150-160 if you want to sell it real quick. 170-185 is where I personally would look for if I'm looking for a used GS2. $200 and above is really stretching it.
I sold mine for $300 on dec 1 with 2 batteries and 3 cases. I put an ad on craigslist nov 31 and by 9am dec 1 I had 3 ppl message me 2 offered 250 and one offered the asking price. It was gone by 10am and I was at sprint picking up my note2

I would've said $250 each at the minimum. Especially if they are in almost new condition since you've had cases on them.
Jist because this phone is a little over a year old it is still a great phone. If they are being sold now at $99 with a 2 year contract, $250 off contract for a like new with accessories is a great deal.
