You should post this in the Marketplace...with photos too.

I think it'll go pretty durned quick. People who don't even know what a Nexus 5 is want one.

SWAPPA.com is also a place you can sell them with less in fees than ebay. I have sold two devices on there in the last few weeks with no issues.

Craigslist. No fees. Straight cash. And you meet the buyer in person so the odds of getting scammed are considerably lower.

Had a gun put to my head and made to beg for my life a year ago meeting someone on craigslist, nice kid in a really nice quite little town, the last place you would think it would happen, thankfully he got caught that night due to my description and people from the town recognizing who I was talking about, he got 6 years no early release, I was even on the local news lol


Swappa is the best and safest bet, and only $10 selling fee, craigslist is a risk that can go wrong, I've bout hundreds of phones off CL and never had an issue, it just takes that one person

That's crazy!! I do craigslist all the time but I meet at a mall of Barnes and noble. Sorry that happened to you. Agreed on swappa though. That's always my back up place.

Lol. I've used Craigslist a lot. I've even had folks come to my home to pick-up larger items. Never been stabbed, at least I don't think so. I would know wouldn't I?

Note 8.0

Well I didn't say the odds were 100%. :p

I've used CL more than a few times. I wouldn't ever have someone meet at my house tbh but I have picked up a few items from others house. I don't treat everyone like a criminal but it's important to protect yourself, not everyone is an outstanding citizen like everyone on this forum. :)

Everyone knows Craigslist is a wonderful place to have anonymous sex. However, buying and selling stuff there is just too dangerous.

Every time I sell on craigslist I have the buyer meet me at work so there's plenty of people around. Always paranoid someone might try to pull some ****.

I vote for swappable over Ebay and CL. Buyer pays the $10 fee. You do loose a bit for PayPal fee but your services usually sell quicker. I've sold four phones on there.
