Yes it is worth it. I have a mint one X+ and One X here and i bought the ONE outright because it was so nice. You'll love it, get it! No major issues for the ONE, or any minor issues that i know of. If you get one from an ATT Corporate store (which i recommend) make sure you look it over well before they finalize your transaction. Look for gaps, rough edges anything out of the ordinary.. Better to exchange one that's not right before they marry it to your account.. Mine was perfect first try, but some have gaps and other QC issues.

I do not recommend the att store. Costco has no activation fees, they wave the upgrade fee, it's 129.99 I believe still and you get 90 days to return and exchange it in addition to a bunch of free phone accessories and an option to get a 2 year prorated damage warranty with $25 deductible.

YEah no costco in my city, maybe not in my state, never seen one. Its $99 at ATT.
The best thing to do is to try it out yourself in the store with the live models. Take some time and go through the phone ie...camera, front speakers (boom sound), Sense 5 (blink feed), ui fluidity, browser test, button layout (note: it actually takes a few days to get used to it), watching videos on the S-LCD 3 HD1080p screen (beautiful) and the overall feel of the phone. IMO it seems more of an upgrade from the One X to the HTC One than the S3 to the S4. But that's just me.

I actually tried it out last week at a AT&T store and fell in love with it! Maybe it's because I'm so familiar with the One X and Sense 5 that made me like it a little more.
BTW: Anyone knows if Best Buy mobile is a good try to renew contract and buy a phone? Been thinking about it for a couple of days.

the bestbuy warranty(geeksquad black tie) is the best i have ever had no deductible and it covers all damage no matter what
Best Buy price matches too so if you happen to find it cheaper at frys, Costco, sams club, radio shack etc....they should price match it. There were so many deals for the One lately...

Just go for the HTC One at Costco or Sams Club. I suggest Costco if you have one. Try it risk free for 14 days, if you don't like it return it. You get NO restocking fees as these places, or at least Costco I know you don't.
Like I said, with everything you get with costco, I think it evens out and you get 90 days of exchanges. I see you have a few Costcos in Carolina.
I called in about an insurance claim because I shattered my one x screen. I didn't want to use my uprgrade but after finding out the deductible was 199.99. I talked to a rep who said she would give it to me for 99.99 since I wasn't intending on using my upgrade and she quoted me a 50.00 deductible until she found out the real price. Try calling att who knows maybe you might get a deal.

Well no. Sometimes ebay sellers have a "surplus" of new phones and try to clear them out at a high-midrange price before the demand goes down. If it were me, I'd go the ebay route. If there's a problem with it, ebay guarantees returns and all that. I never buy directly from a person without a middleman.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
I bought my Rezound new, sealed in the box from a Verizon employee who won it at work in a contest. They already had one and needed some cash.
I paid $200.00 cash for it (after ESN was verified, etc.)
Might be the BEST 200 bucks I have ever spent.
So back to the question, watch Craigslist and have the seller meet you at at VZW store to verify the ESN. You might not find NIB, but you should be able to get a good used one for a very reasonable price.

I have to agree with chef Thomas I've bought a whole lot of phones on eBay brand new, around a lil over 400 sounds right for that market.
I'd go that route or craigslist local. Sometimes there's similar deals in your local area and you can do the deal in person just get the ESN ahead of time, and check it then and also check it at time of purchase.
There's a tool for that by the way I don't have a link handy but can send you one.
If you buy a phone from.an individual make sure when you send them the money it clearly states it's a purchase of a phone, because you can dispute the payment and get your money back but if its marked as a gift your stuck like chuck, it used to be that way at least.

I'm guessing you are under contract so if rezound was on the acct the esn will be blocked until you pay the etf.

Yes I just ported my number to Google Voice and waiting for that to go through to automatically cancel my contract. I am going to pay Verizon what they need right after the number is ported. That's why I was waiting to post the sale on swappa. I wanted to make sure all was set with Verizon first.

Condition pending ...
If the device has been "fully and properly" returned to stock software, and is in excellent cosmetic condition...
Then $200 may be a bit low..
But if you sell it rooted ....and it has a few scratches or marks on the bezels or screen, then $200 is fair.
Of course, it really comes down to the right buyer, and what they are willing to pay.
And for the record, I am an advocate of honest dealing between buyer and seller.
Nothing makes a person more upset than buying blind, and having their trust betrayed...
So if any issues exist with the device, disclose them up front ...IMHO ....g
Appreciate the advice and i believe in the same. ill ask the buyer what they want rooted or not. and I'd return it to stock. Also I'm throwing in 2 cases and a spare extended battery.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
$200 is on the low end for a one in great condition.
You'll know if its too low if you get a lot of hits for it (Craigslist) and people want to buy it immediately.
Why go through the extra steps of rooting it? To me that makes the phone look like its been run through the ringer...

edit: i do see that the 50$ is for new verizon customers and it goes up to 100 with upgrading. so idk if you are already on verizon or not
I got mine from best buy on a new line, I had them price match it for me. However, I did have to go to a few stores to make sure they had it in stock as well as make sure the manager approves the price match, some of them didn't.

I just got two DNAs from best buy last Tuesday. They priced matched the $50 price that Amazon had. I ended up getting them both for free because I signed up for the $50 gift card offer that best buy was offering the week before. They gave me 2 $50 gift cards for signing a new wireless contract.
I switched from T-Mobile. I had the HTC Amaze. So far I don't regret the change. But the only thing that I'll miss from my Amaze is the 32gb ext sd card. It's going to take a bit to adjust the limited space that's on the DNA. Other than that, I'm really enjoying the DNA with the Venom Rom.

There is no cons from buying there I have bought phones from amazon in the past and they were brand new and worked great.
The reason some don't buy from them or Best Buy, etc... is if you cancel within 6 months or something, you pay their $350 early term fees in addition to Verizon.

The only thing that would drive me away is I don't like reserve auctions. Instead of playing the hidden reserve game with your potential buyers, just be up front with them and set your starting bid at the very least amount you would accept (around $600-$625 I would imagine?), and set the Buy It Now price at the high end of what other eBay sellers are actually selling their phones for. Just my opinion of course. This will also weed out the less serious bidders who will try to low-ball you. If you're worried about missing out on bids, do you really want people who won't pay $600+ bidding on your phone, when you know damn well it will sell for at least that amount?
One more thing - be prepared to give a prospective buyer the IMEI number off your phone (if they ask for it) so they can check to see if it's on the AT&T black list. Of course, I'm not implying you're a thief or anything. I just had a friend that bought a used AT&T iPhone off of Craigslist. When he went to activate it, AT&T wouldn't do it because it had been reported as stolen, and I think the carriers share this list nowadays. So he now basically has a wifi-only iPod touch that no carrier will touch.
Noted, and changes made. Thanks for the tip. I hope my first time selling something on eBay goes over well lol.

Wow I didn't know that. Doing a quick google search, this looks to be a brand new change that eBay implemented on May 1st. You might re-think my strategy then. I didn't know they forced you to do that now. I'd feel bad if I screwed up your auction.
Yeah but I mean... Most retail places it's $600-700 plus I'm throwing in $100 urbeats that are HTC branded. I'm just gonna see what happens.

I have done well selling my phone's using buy it now or best offer. I usually list it for $50 over what I actually want. At $725 I imagine you would get offers for st least 650 if not more. If you can throw in a case along with those head phones you will get some pretty good offers. I had a job selling stuff on EBay for 3 years and rarely ever did an auction. If you really want to do a timed auction make it end on a Sunday night at around 9pm eastern time.

And if you use paypal they will take a percentage as well. I sold my old HTC one x+ on ebay after not using them for years and was shocked at how much they took from me on the purchase. I sold the phone for $365 and after fees from ebay (~$38) and paypal (~$15) I lost 15% in fees. My fault I should of checked their new policy but never again

Toss it up, take lots of photos, be honest about it's condition. See what happens. If it doesn't move, lower the price every 2 days.

Absolutely to much as sick as it seems , these phones have always been 580 new outright and now the s4 is also 580 new .
Just like with cars trucks anything once u buy it use it walk away with it the value is cut drastically.
They go for 425-480 roughly used now regardless if it's a day old or a month .
Think of it like this the price your asking is same as what anyone can buy it new at the store .
I've bought two ones ans one s4 paid well under retail, people will just look right past your price .
Good luck.
