Razr to Razr maxx for $20

[ssgjaygee]

I got my droid Razr on launch day and was very happy with it...except the short battery life. Then a few months later the Maxx was released and I felt angry and betrayed. So last week I went into a VZW store to buy a Maxx and found out that Verizon has a trade in program, so I asked how much my 3 month old Razr was worth, and to mine and the sales persons surprise...$230! I paid $249 in November for the Razr and got my Maxx for $19. I'm not so mad anymore and loving my Maxx!

Verizon has a program where you trade in your old cell phone's. But even if you got 230$ for your old razr a new razr maxx at full retail would be like 650$. I'm curious to?

Something is fishy.

Did they just extend your contract by another couple months? I've heard of them doing that for people before, that way they can still get the 2-year upgrade price. Prolly should have gone today, however, now that the Razr Maxx is down to $200 on sale.

It does sound shady!!! He would have sign a new contract, no?? And if he recently signed one, how is getting out of it? UNLESS they made an exception for him.

No luck.

I paid $150 on 11-11-11 (3g to 4g discount). My trade in is worth $150....

Agent said that they could make me a special deal and charge me $300 for the MAXX .. since $600-150-150=$300... I told them about this offer. Got a manager just in case.. Manager (a good friend) didn't recognize it. She said it is either a special market deal in this person's area or a deal made just from him due to extra ordinary consequences beyond the stores control...

Sorry folks. Any luck anywhere else????

The OP's post doesn't make sense, as he says he paid $19 for the Maxx. But, as we know, at Verizon, the Maxx is $299 (if its even in stock, another story hole). So, even if he got $230 for his old Razr, which is HIGHLY unlikely considering it was 3 months old and a NEW Razr is $199 at Verizon (the price offer makes absolutely NO business sense, paying out for a used phone MORE than what you're currently selling a new one for), he would have paid an extra $69 for the Maxx.

The poster also posted in the Maxx forum that he got a $100 credit for calling about the Leap Day sale as well, so just seems to be a 'look what I did' troll of sorts.

Can you imagine going into a car dealership and saying, "You're selling a new BMW for $50,000. How about I sell you my used BMW for $60,000?"

I can imagine that, and even in my dreams the dealer still laughs at me.

And I think you're right, if you go to the trade-in website a previous poster linked, they're only giving $180 for a MAXX, and the Razr itself is only getting $148. Now I'll give the OP the benefit of the doubt and say that they appraised price of a Razr might have dropped, but definitely not $82 in a week. OP... trolls gonna troll, you're just trying to tick off Razr owners who feel jilted.
