So I decided finally to get rid of my current device and go all in on the Pixel XL 2, panda version. I haven't purchased the device as of yet because I'm waiting for someone, anyone to buy my Note 8. Never thought it would be this difficult to sell a just about mint Note 8 with a couple cases, SD cards and the 360 camera.

While there is nothing wrong with my phone I really haven't used the S-Pen as much as I would have liked and honestly Im getting annoyed at getting security updates untimely and at the end of the month ( literally day B4 the month ends). I've decided that monthly security updates at the beginning of the month , buttery smooth fluidity and no skins are what I prefer, plus the camera is simply stellar.

Checked out one at a VZW store and really saw no issues with the screen so yeah not worried about that. All in all I will be excited once I can get the phone, just have to sell my note 8 first, I know, 1st world problems........lol
 
Well early congrats fro whenever you get it :). I get that some just don't care about security .. As I have gotten older I do like the fact that my phone gets monthly updates for security holes to be plugged. I just mange way too much of my life on my phone so it is a small thing I cherish.

Plus the phone just runs great + the camera is awesome.

Yeah, I really couldn't agree more. Security is second to none for me and I really want to explore the camera.
 
If it is not selling on Swappa then you are probably asking too much for it. I have sold phones on Swappa with ease.

My list price is 750, but I'm throwing in a 360 camera, two cases 1st Gen wireless charger and a friggan 64 GB SD card. I feel like I'm asking too little but just want to move it. Google will give me 380 for it so there's that too

I sold my Blue Note 8 in good condition in about 3 days for like $600 just last week.

Unfortunately, most people wont get down to the $700 price point because so many phones are mint and cheaper.

Really, maybe I'm asking too much, may have to remove some items and just sell the phone or lower the price of everything I guess.
 
Same here... Bunch of them on sale right now. People aren't even getting down to yours.... Either that or go as a featured sale.... That will put you up top, might find a buyer.

Yeah it's featured now, guess I'll lower it down to 700, see what happens.
