Where to sell my thunderbolt

[poloboogie]

I hoping someone can point me in the right direction as far as what's the best route to go as far as selling my thunderbolt? What website forum, social network, etc.

I'd sell it here or on CrackBerry.com. I used to sell my phones on eBay but I got so sick of their, and paypal's, fees.

I sold my last phone on CrackBerry.com. Took two days, quick payment by check!

I sold mine for $420 on craigslist. I like craigslist because there are no fees, and the sale is final.

How do you go about accepting payments

Paypal for site sales, cash in hand for craigslist.

I had the buyer send me a check and I deposited it. Had their full name and address. I felt confident in the buyer based on their forum standing.

I'm willing to buy if the price is right. PM me the price.

thanks.

I still use eBay... but yea, the fees are a killer.

Here is another option: Sell and Recycle Used Electronics - Gazelle. No hassle, but a little slower payout. A flawless T'Bolt will fetch ~$320.

Craigslist all the way. Just meet at a bank where it's a bit safer.

What is the reason for the sale? You don't like?

If I was a buyer, I would want to meet at a VZW store to make sure clean esn and able to activate before handing over cash.

You can sell it right here on Android Central in the "Marketplace".

[bthomp21]

I know of ppl who have been burned by phones with bad ESNs when buying phones odd ebay/craigslist. Not sure if thats a issue with the TB but if im buying a phone I tend to avoid those places most of the time.

Craigslist, and meet at a VZW store. Safe, and the buyer will be confident that the esn will be a clean one. I sold my dx that way. Took 5 min.

Lakers has a great suggestion and also you can meet at a Verizon store. You do need to be careful when selling something on Craigslist. There are those who will try to scam you and you need to be smart and not naive about it. I have sold my devices on Craigslist and have also used ebay. Try Craigslist first and if can't then use ebay as a last resort.
Check out what the going prices are on ebay and set your price accordingly. CASH only.
No returns. On your post say local only, no out of state or out of country. People will try to scam you. Don't fall for anything.

I just realized something. If you sell the Thunderbolt, the buyer needs a new SIM card. Remember, it only activates once per SIM card! So I would suggest meeting at a Verizon store, that way the buyer is assured that it is a good phone and can have the phone activated there for free since the SIM cards carry no fee on them.

I sold my Droid X on eBay on April 3, 2011 for $295.

Paypal took a fee of: $8.86
Ebay too a fee of: $29.20

$295-$38.06=$256.94

My math is a little rusty, but that looks like 13% in fees to me.

If I could have done it all over, I would have used the marketplace on these forums or met in person.

Can try here, Verizon Trade In, if I was to trade mine in I'd only loose 30$. Not too shabby.
