Someone is offering me an S5 with cyanogen installed for $150. It has a small chip at the top of the glass (doesn't affect screen) and general wear. Is $150 a good deal?

Swappa is really a great site. Check the "Boneyard" section since your phone has damage.
 
Seen deals for a refurbed S5 for $150 before. Cracked screen is a deal breaker for me. May not retain its water resistance after that.

I paid $184 American Dollars for mine in mint condition from a certified reseller on Amazon.com. 0x0.

The glass is relatively cheap and easy to replace by yourself as well.
 
Check swappa I was able to get mine in near mint for $145 in blue even. Just subscribe to the s5 on there and get emails once new ones are listed. Took me about 4 days, I would negotiate price with sellers then would get sniped as soon as the seller would change the price. Worst part is swappa will tell you it's a first come first serve site. Anyway swappa is the go to for phones hands down

Glass is definitely cheap, however not so easy to remove the glass only. I found out the hard way on an old s4
 
Hm. I've never tried it on an S4. Idid it with my S5, though. I didn't really need to do it because there was nothing wrong with the glass that was already on it but I just wanted new glass for th sake of wanting new glass. Maybe I just got lucky. I just warmed it up with a heat gun and used an exacto knife to peel it up. And, then, they give you the tape to stick it back on, too. Once I did that I ran the heat over it again with some pressing and haven't had any problems since.
 
I have an S5 in mint condition, official Samsung wireless charging back cover and Tech 21 case and original box it came in. I'm asking a FIRM $225 + whatever it costs to ship to you.
