Incredible Problem

[NVR2ND]

So I have the BB Tour, and will be getting the Incredible the day it drops, or the next dayif I order online. So that being said, I want to sell my tour. Now as luck would have it I know someone that is interested in the Tour for $125. Which I got it for 99 after MIR the day it came out. So I think that it is a good deal for both parties as they dont have an upgrade for another 12 months.



The problem either I go back to a regular old cell phone or go to my old pearl. Im not excited about the idea of using the pearl 8130 for 5 weeks, plus whatever it takes for VZW to actually release the phone. (lets be honest The link was nice today, but not exactly a sure thing).

So what are your thoughts on what I should do. Sell it now, pocket the money for the incredible, Wait for a sure 100% true date for the incredible then sell, or wait for the phone to come out and hope I can get $125 for it still? What to do what to do?

you can get more than $125 for a used Tour on Craigslist or eBay.

yea, it's an incredible deal for the buyer.

if they want it for that price (and you're willing to part with it, i sold my tour on ebay for around $300) then make them wait until you have the incredible in hand before you sell. at that price, i have a feeling they'll be okay with waiting.

Really? I felt like 125 was a bit of a good deal for me. Its over a year old, and with the tour/bold coming out I figured the bottom would drop out of the phone price.

i mean, what you consider reasonable is a personal choice, i'm just letting you know that on avg an out of contract smartphone goes for substantially more.

(just for reference, i sold my storm 1 for about $250, my droid for about $400, and my eris for about $275)

timing is important, but you should be able to cover a new smartphone with the sale of an older one (provided it's not too old, i'd be surprised to get more than $150 MAX for a storm now)

the easiest way to get an average selling price of a phone is to search for it on ebay and look at the completed listings for it. it's what i usually do at least.
