i just bought the xv6800 off ebay and naive old me thought it was brand new and the seller told me it was a $50 replacement and it still has a warranty card for 12 months since November. |
You paid WAY too much for any 6800, period. Whether it is a replacement or not means nothing. Ive been watching 68s sell on ebay as I was thinking of selling mine and all the ones Ive been watching sold between 100-150. So how the hell did you manage to buy one for 227+shipping is beyond me.

Asurions does not always send out refurbs as I got mine BNIB from Asurion. SO dont let that fool you.

Good luck. You agreed to his terms of the auction and to me, there was no misleading. The phone you got is new.

To my knowledge, is wont transfer to you. Sorry

Terrible experience with who? Asurion or the 6800s? Either way you need both right? I had several 6700s replaced and never had any issues. Again, my 6800 I got from Asurion was new and I havent had any issue with it either.

Other than you just feeling bad about the auction and you jumping too fast and paying too much, I dont see where you said you actually have any issue with the device itself. So I am assuming it works fine and is cosmetically ok with you. So if you got a device that you wanted and works ok, I dont see the issue.
