Zero Knievel Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Anyone know where to get the best deal on one of these? I'd like to upgrade but don't feel like moving to the 6. Some of the prices people are asking are outrageous...especially since they (1) are selling something with a fair amount of wear (e.g., not "mint" or "like new") and (2) often have no photos of the actual phone you'd be buying so you can't judge if it's worth the price they are asking until it shows up on your door.

DBLXX Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I have one with cracked glass which can be fixed for $75 bucks. ATT service. Just a thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Knievel Posted May 26, 2015 Author Share Posted May 26, 2015 I saw it, but I need at least 32 GB. I've already use more than 16 GB of storage on the 4 I got off of you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ptxyz Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 there are several local shops that sell primarily accessories but, also dabble in used phones. a few months ago we scored a 5c with 32 gigs for about $230. the shop was also able to do a factory unlock and had a generous return policy. somebody got crazy with a sharpie on the back but, that's hidden under the case.

Zero Knievel Posted May 26, 2015 Author Share Posted May 26, 2015 Honestly, I think I already know the answer, but WHY are people so ABUSIVE to their cell phones? Granted, I grew up with few nice things, and I learned to take care of stuff given to me. But you'd think people play air hockey with some of these phones listed for sale. I mean, yeah, it's only $200 up-front (if you don't sit and do the math on you monthly payments + contract) and some people trade up like clockwork so they figure there's no reason to worry about being gentle, but I've had Dave's old 4 since when? I take care of it like it's a prized possession...even though I got it fairly cheap at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XXitanium Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I got my kid a 5S for Christmas - spotless for $180, $20 more for a life-proof case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Knievel Posted May 28, 2015 Author Share Posted May 28, 2015 Is $374 a good price on a 5s with 64 GB in good condition? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XXitanium Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Not for me. I keep 4 people in cell phones. And they treat them like hammers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiona Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 It's a good price if you're willing to spend $374 on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Knievel Posted May 29, 2015 Author Share Posted May 29, 2015 I went for it. Would have liked it for $300, but what the going price was and the condition for cheaper ones, I feel I didn't do bad. About 1/2 of buying it new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
