Need a few extra $$ to offset the price of the Nexus?

[JoeUserTX]

If you're like me, you probably have a scad of old phones sitting in boxes, due to upgrades and/or new phone purchases.

I came across this trade-in page on VZW's site, and thought I'd see if I could get a few dollars for some of my old gear.

Suffice to say, some of the old phones are worth a huge $0.00, lol. However, my Fascinate is worth $38.00 (who knew?). So, I will be trading it in after I've had delivery of the Nexus and I'm fairly confident that I won't be using it any longer. I still have an old Samsung Omnia that I can use for back-up, should the Nexus be unavailable for whatever reason.

Anyway, thought I'd pass this along, for the budget-conscious among us...

Or you could sell it on craigslist for about $150 if you want some more money.

This......

Trade ins are always a rip. Aside from convenient that's about it.

You can get $100 easy on craigslist

True, all of the above (for those that want to deal with advertising, meeting/corresponding with individuals, shipping, MOP issues, transaction disputes, yadda, yadda). As you can tell, I really don't care for CL or Fleabay. TMW.

I'm a path-of-least-resistance kinda guy. I'd just as soon stuff it in a pre-paid envelope to VZW, then forget about it until my meager gift card arrives. I'll absorb the $60 opportunity cost, lol...

Anyway, thought I'd post an alternative, for slugs, like me...

Should have kept that fascinate. Thanks to roms it now has ICS before you get the nexus.

Whew!!! I read the forum topic and rushed in here to talk you out of selling your body for sex. Glad you are just promoting selling old phones for extra cash.

In all seriousness, cool find!

I sold one of my fascinates last week on ebay for 160..

this other one, I was going to do the same with after I got the Gnex, but Im actually gonna just keep this one around as a back up and a phone to mess around with.

Tonight I'm going to teach myself how to root, and install roms so I can put the new ICS rom on it.

My wife has a Fascinate. I wouldn't...or maybe I would. Do I dare?

Verizon is generously offing $102 for an iPhone 4S 64GB, seriously its worth at least $550 - $600.

 

[Asterdroid]

Ha. I saw the thread title and thought you'd be trying to recruit people to sell Amway products

 

[mcap79]

Hey, I will buy your Fascinate if you want a little extra money. Send me a PM if interested. Thx!

 

[Premium1]

I actually just bought a fascinate cheap and am going to load ics on it to pass the time until the nexus launches.

 

[tony bag o donuts]

Best buy does the same thing, but if you have it for less then 6 months I think its 100, then it goes down from there. Not sure of the pricing.

I sold an LG Voyager on ebay a few yrs ago for 140 and it was two years old.

I still have my wife's lg enV touch in the drawer which is a backup to her iphone.

 

[davey11]

I'm kinda bummed I sold my fascinate last month now that it has a ics rom for it. Coulda checked out how ics runs and feels.

You can get them cheap on various sites I would buy one and use that because at this rate who knows when the nexus will actually be available on vzw.

 

[tony bag o donuts]

I plan on waiting a month or two IF I get a nexus. It's down to that and the rezound.

Sell and Recycle Used Electronics - Gazelle get more money for your stuff and no hassle of eBay. You won't get used retail on any of these trade in programs. They are only offering $150 for a 32GB iPhone, $45 for an Incredible, $15 for a Storm. Think I'll just end up using my Incredible for a backup and find homes for the others. Probably just trash the Storm, keep anyone else from going through that.

I would never trade in my OG Droid. I'll keep it in my drawer along with my Nintendo 64 and collection of games such as Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask (with the expansion pack). Final Fantasy 7 will be in there as soon as my cousin decides to stop "borrowing" it. -_- Off topic but it was a 3-disk game! Jesus. Great game, though. I remember buying a Cloud action figure and making him win every fight against the Green Goblin.

Correction, people will pay $550-600. That's very distinct from the $1.50 it's actually worth
