[Question] Buying off contract

Alright, so tomorrow I'm buying the Galaxy Note 2 off contract. On the website, it sticks to just being 700 dollars.
If I go to the store to purchase it (as I'm eager to get it already) will it still just be 700? I heard that already includes taxes and stuff. Or will tax still be added onto the 700bucks?

Every verizon listing on eBay (which are very few compared to other carriers) seem to be used with slight scratches on the screen. Or the biddings don't end for days down the road. Plus if something should happen, I feel safer with Verizon vs going through a hassle with the person I bought it from.
And I live in Lincoln, Ne, not many people selling new phones on Craigslist. I didn't find one listing for it. There was barely even any for the S3.
Plus, it's only about 40bucks cheaper, while it'd be nice, I'll make due.

I bought the normal verizon ones to be honest I'm not sure what type they were I just needed something until I decide what "real" protector I want to use. So far it hasn't bothered me enough to buy anything else.

I bought one like brand new in the box. Guy used for one day and went back to iphone lol and only paid $450 for it and still carries the same warranty a brand new one would. Stupid to spend $300 more but you can waste your money if you like

450 is a VERY rare steal. I'd do that in an instant if I had the chance. I mean, if you know someone selling one for that low, point me in the right direction. But every normal listing is like 675 or pretty much retail price.

I believe they (amazon) can insure it, but I'm not completely sure.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Amazon Wireless is the way to go. No tax and free 2 day shipping. If you currently have insurance on your account, it will stay and transfer to new phone once activated. There is also no activation fee.
I have done this multiple times buying off contract. Even had to go in to VZW store to get a micro sim for my S3 and had no issues.

Evo LTE for $250

I'm thinking about meeting up with a person at a sprint store that claims to have an evo lte in good conditon tomorrow.
The person said the phone was his son's for about a month before he switched to tmobile.
From the few pictures I've seen on his craigslist post, it seems like the phone is in good condition.
Just wanted to know from you guys if I was getting a good deal or not.
here are the pics
To me $250 sounds like a decent deal--make sure you get the phone's ESN number checked with Sprint. I bet you could try and go lower on the price citing that chipped paint on the kickstand.
EDIT: I looked on Craigslist for my area and noticed one going for $200. This was in the Dallas/Forth Worth area.

It definitely is, I just bought an evo for a friend of mines on ebay about 3 weeks ago in perfect condition(clean esn) for $200 shipped, with a few accessories. I definitely would not pay more than $200.

On eBay, You're Likely To Find One For About $200 Or So. Oddly Enough, It Looks As If The White Ones Sell For A Higher Price.

When dealing with craigslist and phones, what you should do is ask them if you can call sprint and activate the phone right in front of them. I did that and I got my barely used evo 4g LTE for 200.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
Or meet at a sprint store and let them verify the esn. Just don't do the transaction in the store. They don't want you to do that.

I posted this on the costco page. Its a good deal but we don't know their supplies so it could be a while. It just says it will ship when available.
Last year Walmart had the GS2 (i777) in stock on release day. Incidentally I'll buy there on the 5/3 when my upgrade eligibility returns.
Just make sure to stop by an AT&T store after and have someone check your account if you're trying to keep unlimited data.

just as a heads up if you call at&t they will probably allow you to upgrade early. My upgrade was not available until May 8th and they told me I can upgrade. You will have to wait until Friday when the phone is released because they can't do preorders
Wal-Mart associate here. Good luck getting any new release phone. They are shipped my manufacturer at will and we cannot order them. Also replenishable stock on contract phones is almost non existant. I would have purchased mine from my employer early but the stock is just not there and never is. Wait a few weeks.

How can they offer it for cheaper? Everybody makes it sound like this is exactly like signing up at an AT&T store. But for cheaper. At Walmart.

Because they get incentives from carriers for new contracts and renewals which they can pass on in the form of device discounts.
Does Walmart charge your card at the time of purchase or when it ships?
Also, do you think this price will be available in store on Friday?

Would You?

A friend of mine will trade me a Verizon Unlocked GS3 and an Att HTC One X for my Unlocked Att Note. Would You?

I would keep the Note.
As long as they're not stolen, take the trade then resell them and use the money towards a note 2 =)

Yes..I would never buy a non international compatible android phone again.
written in your mud with my stick.
the one X is a fine bit of hardware. Mind you it's far from my first choice, but like the other poster said, do the trade if they aren't stolen, sell one or both of them and buy yourself what you want, chances are you'll walk away with cash in your pocket and a newer phone. Though if he's offering 2 phones, both of which cost way more than the note's worth on the open market there's a VERY good chance that they're stolen. You know the saying, if it's too good to be true...
