$500 is a very low price to begin with (borderline too good to be true if BNIB). I think $350-400 after fees would be more than possible. Shipping internationally however is very expensive.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dullhunk:
Buy a clean one for 500 and sell a bad one for 450? . You must be kidding me :p

Are you aware of shipping international ? If you take insurance and tracking on it, the price will reach 70-80$ and takes atleast 10 days to reach . And if by any chance it doesnt pass the customs , the guy can make a claim and you are DONE!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] friend'scatdied:
Even second hand clean ones go for $580-600 on eBay. $500 or less is a steal for a clean phone but I guess people get what they pay for..

One of the reasons why buyers are willing to pay more on ebay/Amazon than Craigslist is due to coupons/credits.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dullhunk:
If I was you, I would take the hassle free 280 and buy a new device. Considering the scams on ebay and their fees I would suggest to take the offer
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] friend'scatdied:
Too bad XDA shut down the marketplace. I'm sure it would have been easy to sell to a Canadian for $350-400.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dullhunk:
I have been burnt on shipping international, even cananda. You have to fill custom forms etc things can went wrong. Its upto you david , if you want easy money take the offer. But you think you can take a risk of 350 again just to make 70$ more go for a canada guy
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] friend'scatdied:
$280 for a dirty but LNIB T889 is just a raw deal for the buyer. Even domestically he can get $350. If I put a dirty LNIB T889 on Craigslist right now for $350 (advertised as such) it would be sold within a week.

Just sold my blocked IMEI phone on ebay for 435$. A little disappointed because they usually sell for 550ish with a block imei. Whatever, I traded an S3 and 150 for that note 2. Just bought a fresh white one from the store for 650 :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Clark Joseph Kent:
Members dont make offers to the OP to buy his device, no buying or selling via XDA. Thank you, thread cleaned.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] yourlettuce:
Sorry I'm a bit late on this guys, but I work at T-Mobile at the moment. Since their business is going down the drain, unfortunately, they are IMEI-blocking any phones that were either on EIP and the payments were defaulted or on a normal subsidized plan where the contract wasn't completed. However, a pretty easy way of getting through your IMEI being blocked is merely going to a T-Mobile corporate store and asking a nice guy to call the RSL hotline and request an unblock of an IMEI. You can say you bought if from someone and didn't know it was blocked etc. Now, it helps if you're trying to start new service, since we employees of T-Mobile require certain metrics to hit goal each month, an activation will motivate us to get said phone unblocked, otherwise, they'll probably think you're some shady character. So, you could walk in, say you want to start a $30 monthly plan, but think your IMEI might be blocked because it hasn't worked for a friend's SIM card, and ask if they could call and get it unblocked while being willing to show ID, even though not needed, it'd seem more trusting. I've done this on my own Note 2 after an insurance claim, thinking I lost the device, but after I received my new one, rooted it and all, found the old one. I went to work, unblocked my own IMEI, and now I have two Note 2's. :good:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] LanceDiamond:
Yea, this is all BS. Just went to the TMo store near me, corporate store. Told the guy about calling the RSL, he said no way to unblock, also corporate employees cannot have insurance on their phones.

And my IMEI is...blocked. Horay for f'ing Craigslist, wish I'd know before I bought. Works fine on Straight Talk/ATT, we tried a TMO test SIM just to see if the block came up - it did. Not sure what I'll do now - maybe sell on EBay with bad IMEI specified, try to get some of my $ back, buy a legit one.

At least not without adjusting the price they're willing to pay accordingly. I've had some good luck with hookers in Tijuana on craigslist, but that's something you can see what you're getting before and as you're getting it.

Only other option you'd have would be to draw up a contract/bill of sale or some other such thing, IANAL.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] tony yayo:
So what would happen if, say, you bought a phone on craigslist, cracked the screen, did an insurance claim, they send you a different phone, and THEN the guy decides to stop paying TMO? Would they transfer the blacklisting over to the new phone?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] e46tuning:
Everything gets transfrer over by tmobile.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] LanceDiamond:
That's a ridiculous statement. I've bought and sold plenty of legit computer stuff on CL. So have my friends.

At least part of this BS with the blacklists is to hurt or kill the used devices market. Phones are getting where PCs got several years ago and the upgrade cycle may slow down. God forbid I am able to buy a used device rather than letting a carrier lock me into a silly 2 year contract or pay $750 for the device...

I can't entirely disagree that the blacklisting won't have some affect but the way they're going about it seems hamfisted at best. Laptops and other small electronics have been sold on CL for years and you don't see laptop makers blacklisting MAC addresses or the government wanting to force something so stupid on them.

I know this isn't the time or place to argue about blacklisting-fact is, it's happening. But imho its a very poorly thought out "solution." There are laws about stealing things and selling stolen things, how about enforcing those? Blacklisting just sweeps them under the rug.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] RonnieRuff:
My statement is not in regards to blacklisting. Buying anything from someone you do not know from an internet ad comes with the same risks as buying from a guy on a corner. Just the facts.

If you get scammed with a blocked imei.. no problem! Just sell it to some who lives over seas. The phone is blocked on gsm america not gsm world. A friend of mine found an S3 and later it got blocked. I told him he can still use it overseas. He took a trip to a Honduras and it work fine.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] newageoutlaw:
I assume it still has warranty being the phone has been out less then a year. Report it stolen or say it doesn't work and get it replaced... Problem solved.

My Blacklist Note II after 2 months...

My situation is similar, I bought my Note II in the mid Dec, 2012, the phone is brand new in the box, unopened, Since it was my new phone, I figured to play with it for a while to get familiar and operational, after almost 2 months, I went to TMO web site to register my phone to change over, since my current phone used a regular Sim and the Note II use the Micro Sim, at the point to submit, I change my mind and keep playing for another 2 weeks, then during the 2 weeks some thing weird is happened, my phone shown up with some message about legal stuffs, one from Samsung and a couple from TMO...

One day I went to TMO store and ask them to switch over from my old phone to the new one. The sale rep. ask for the IMEI number and check on his system and told me the phone [the Note II] has been blocked, then he asked me for the sim numbers to check, it has also blocked, I asked the Sale rep. what is wrong, then he ask me where I got the phone, I honestly told him I bought the phone brand new, in the box and unopened from a guy on CraigsList, then the sale rep. told me, the seller has breached the contract with TMO, did not pay for the remainder of the phone, never activated, he told me the guy has cheated TMO and cheated me for the cost of the phone, I paid $580.00 for it.... I got burned!!!!

So, it doesn't matter even if you check the IMEI before purchasing, the phone has a chance to work for a short while until the seller don't paid for the contract, then TMO block the Phone, if you insert the SIM, the Sim is more likely get block too.

The sale rep. told me there is/are way(s) to make it works by ROOT the phone then do some extra stuffs then it should work as normal. I have not found out what I should do to make my Note II work as yet, but I think its has to have some thing to do with IMEI, just my 2 cents guessing.....

I learned my lesson. Just sharing my story to make peoples be aware of these kind of scams....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] You_got_owned123:
My dad bought a Note 2 on CL and got the IMEI blocked because the guy claimed for insurance. Can't believe the amount of BS people out there. One of the reps told me that if you make the transaction at a Tmobile location, they'll tell you if the phone is on a payment plan and if it's not and everything clears out, they'll transfer the IMEI number to your account so the previous owner can't report it lost or stolen. Some people have put in police reports before.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] str8killinya:
I always buy and sell at the providers location so I can check and make sure and as person said above they will tell you if it's clean. then you feel safe as a buyer and they have some trust from the seller. I've done it at att and TMobile so far and they have always been cool with it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] erica_renee:
Wow . just bought new condition in box note from ebay

Ok

All of this is kinda scary.. I just bought a new condition note 2 from ebay . I paid 450.00 for it . Before i bought it I asked the seller for the imei number. She gave it to me quickly. I called t-mobile asked them if the phone is valid . Also ASKED If the phone is still under a contract. They told me the phone was Purchased on a pre pay account.

Before you buy Call T-mobile. Get the person at t-mobile you talked too. there customer id number. note the time you called them.. and ask

If the phone has been blocked.

If the phone is still under contract The under contract is what will get you in trouble if the person upgraded the phone. Then decided to switch carriers and not pay his/ her contract.

Also check the sellers history. on what they sell how often and feedback. Craigs list Never use it unless its local and can be done face to face. Get the person Drivers licenses address and car plate number. If it comes up bad . You have legal means to get him/ her ..

But PLEASE Do not buy a blocked Phone for any reason. It could be a phone someone worked very hard for and was stolen from them...

Thanks for hearing my two cents.. Common sense helps limits the risk..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] md1008:
I paid $400 for a cracked screen, when I got the phone there was sms message from T-Mo saying pay up. What I did was call 611 and told them to add this phone to my account. I gave them my emei number and other account info. I was told by a T-Mobile rep this would prevent any chance of this phone getting blocked. So far had it over a month and not blocked (knocks on wood) Anyone who buys used I recommend calling 611 and adding the phone to your account. I can not afford guarantee you wont get blocked but better safe than sorry.

About killing the new phone markert. Last year bought sgs3 paid off with tax return and last month bought my ex gs4 (to cut the cost of my bill by doing family plan and reduce child support). T-Mobile and Samsung have made plenty on me the last year lol

Once you have these files (we'll name them boot.img/recovery.img and system.img for the purpose of these instructions, but they could be different on your system).

Plug in your fastboot cable and reboot so that you see the fastboot screen and enter the following commands:

Code:

fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot boot.img

fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery recovery.img

Agreed.

I wonder if the drive mounts so you could put the full Kindle Recovery image in the kindleupdates(?) folder.

After you have run the commands, I wonder if pressing the power button five times will force a factory reset?
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] MisterSir69:
Okay so after much trial and error. I have figured out what I was doing wrong. When i first booted in to twrp I created a backup of my kindle. After installing two roms and wanting to see if I could go back I did a factory reset and attempted to restore my backup. I kept getting a failed error. After reinstalling the cm10 rom again. I went straight to restoring my backup without doing a factory reset. This worked perfect and loaded my previous OS.

The Galaxy S4's specs are just speculation, but I am sure most of us here know that there are many devices that are CURRENTLY available on the market that can easily surpass the tf700 just by comparing specs. Tegra 3 was already outdated the moment the Galaxy S3 was announced. Just to name a few, any devices with Snapdragon S4 Pro and Exynos 5 (LG Optimus G, LG Nexus 4, HTC Droid DNA, J Butterfly, Galaxy S3, Note 2, Note 10.1, etc...) will surely give you better performance (both overall and graphical performance) than any Tegra 3-powered devices (including the tf700).
[Asus Transformer TF700] jcompagner:
all the samsung/exynos devices you mention there are Exynos 4 devices and those have the Cortex a9 cores as Tegra3, i guess gpu wise the Exynos 4 mali 400 could be faster

And if we speak now of a new 8 core exynos then i guess we also should speak that we have a 5 core A9 in our system!! the Exynos 4 of the Galaxy S3 is only a 4 core...

But thats all crap and marketing the Exynos 5 Octa is just a quad core you system/os will never see 8 cores only 4 just as we see only 4 and not 5

it will be a while before we get real 8 cores in mobile devices..

even the next arm chip: http://www.arm.com/products/processors/cortex-a50/cortex-a57-processor.php

[Asus Transformer TF700] huy_lonewolf:
Oops, I was thinking about the Nexus 10 when I was talking about Exynos 5. You're right, it should be Exynos 4 instead. Nevertheless, it does not change my point about Tegra 3's being outdated. For instance, when it comes to memory performance, Tegra 3 only has single channel memory controller as opposed to dual channels found in almost anything else (from Apple, Qualcomm to Samsung), a fact that is readily taken advantage of by Amazon when they introduced the Kindle Fire HD (TI OMAP 4 vs Tegra 3). Overall, if you follow articles on Anandtech about mobile SoCs, Exynos 4 gives you much better performance and more power efficient.
