Sad to say but I jumped ship and going for Honor 8's bigger brother the Mate 9. Thanksgiving deal was too good to pass up with the free fitness band. I wanted something bigger and longer lasting. I enjoyed reading the posts here. My Honor 8 was a pleasure to use, still snappy and I've taken many wonderful memories with its great camera. I'll miss it dearly. If anyone has a suggestion on how or where to sell it, I would greatly appreciate it.

Did the same move.
Goes without saying that Mate 9 is s much, much nicer handset.
I'm sure you'll be very happy.

BTW:
I sold my honor 8 and all it's accessories on Swappa a few months ago.
Sold in 2 days for $275.00

Welcome to the Mate 9 and good luck!

Guytronic, I have not sold anything online in my life. How much is it to ship and do you get insurance? My 32 gb Honor 8 is well taken care of I don't know how much it will fetch. I'm also afraid of people scamming me as I have heard of such during online transactions. I'll look into this Swappa.

[Guytronic]

If I remember correctly of the 275 I got from the Swappa buyer my losses were 18 dollars for the Swappa and PayPal fees then $12.75 to ship from the Westcoast to the Eastcoast.

With Swappa expect to lose 30-40 dollars
To me Swappa is the best option currently.
It may be a bit intimidating to get started yet once as a seller you get the hang of it things will be good.

Swappa has trending selling prices for all devices so that's a great help.
I try to stay as simple as possible with my sales and I don't respond to low ball offers.

There's a lot of Swappa advice right here on AC.

You're still in the Huawei club, don't worry! So glad you are liking your Mate 9, and that you got a great deal on it!

[Aljean Thein]

That $399 deal with free Huawei Band 2 is amazing ! Hopefully you sell your Honor 8 asap to get as much back as possible.

I miss that clickable finger print sensor on the honor 8 already 😥 I keep forgetting that the mate 9 doesn't do that.

Yes, the clicker fingerprint scanner is awesome!

Oh really ?? Didn't know that. So it doesn't do the same function as the Honor 8?! Really love that feature.

Sorry to hear it but the mate 9 is a good choice. I was really tempted to get one myself

$275 seems like a pretty solid price. Was it the 32 or 64gb?

Shipping is$7.20 via. Usps priority padded mailer. Insurance is another $5. Swappa fees $10. PayPal fees roughly 3%.

I agree. Swappa is a better option than ebay. I use it to sell all my phones

Actually that's a promotion to go from honor to Huawei!

Prices have been going down a bit though since new prices have been going down

Awww... That sucks the Huawei didn't include it on the mate 9. I wonder why that is

[dpham00]

Yes, the clicker fingerprint scanner is awesome!

Yes it certainly is a nice feature. Adds more customizable options for the fps

[dpham00]

This makes me want the mate 9 less

[Guytronic]

Mine was the 32gb.

Also I didn't use the fps button that much.
The Mate 9 has too many attributes so to me the fps button by no means was a deal breaker.
Frankly I thought that feature would be prone to failures.

[Aljean Thein]

I didn't expect them to get rid of that function.

[Aljean Thein]

Love that feature

[Aljean Thein]

That's true. So it's better to sell it right away

The fps feature was very convenient feature to open apps quickly

That's pretty good. But I guess it was also a few months ago, so prices were a little higher

[dpham00]

Me neither. It is not a deal breaker but certainly nice to have
