How much do you want for it? I'll buy it locked.

Not really. They go for as low as $99 on contract, so if you signed a contract to get the device, no, that isn't fair.

Good luck with that homie.

I like the 8830 as I've used one for a good while. I recently moved to the 8330. I think with the newer devices coming out, you will have a harder time selling that device at that price than you think.

One word for you:

Recession

If you get that much, congratulations, but I can't see you doing it. I also don't know how you can be comfortable cheating people.

tfolks206 · 02-10-2009, 08:13 PM

how am i cheating people?

the phone is what $400 to buy without extending your contract? idk i havent checked in awhile.

so if i sell it for $300 and the person doesnt have to extend their contract, how am i cheating?

i mean if you really dont believe me i can list every email that has been sent to me offering me $300

jsconyers · 02-10-2009, 08:16 PM

I believe this thread is about unlocking the 9530. I don't think it has anything to do with selling an 8830. If you're interested in selling your 8830, then take it to the Buy/Trade/Sell area.
