Trade in a Captivate for a Galaxy S II

**BugDad25** · 10-07-2011, 10:16 AM

My AT&T company store advised that they would give me about $123 trade in on my Samsung Captivate when upgrading to the Galaxy S II and bring the price down to about $75. Not sure if trade in available for other types of phones or not and they did look at serial number before quoting the trade in amount so it may even vary by how old the Captivate is.

But that made the upgrade decision VERY easy... as soon as they get more in stock

I just sold an old captivate for 204 on ebay yesterday. I received it in August 2010. I was a bit surprised it went for that price.

Sell on CL and make a bit more if you want.

How does the trade in program work? Can I upgrade my current phone or do I have to start new service?

Dang! I had no idea they did that! Had I known I could of gotten it sooner and for half of what I paid ($150. thru Amazon Wireless).

Oh well...

i'm not eligible for an upgrade. would this just take the trade in value off the outright price?

My Captivate was rooted, ROM'd, ran great but pretty dinged up on the corners and a few scratches but sold it on CL for $80 within 2-hours of posting it. Prob could've gotten more for it but I just wanted to get rid of it fast.
