Good luck.
Also do you mind me asking what did you pay for it online? I see people bidding on Verizon TP2 easily $500-$600 on EbAY but if they are just PATIENT Verizons full retail price for that phone is only $489 and then you dont have to worry about it coming up stolen 2 months later... not sure what the full retail price is for Sprint. I saw the same thing with the Rogue , people bidding upwards of $500 when it first came out and retail is only $419.

They are selling in reality for close to $500. I had one 'sell' this morning where for the longest time the winning bid was $510...then in the last minute a brand new, zero-feedback buyer swooped in and bid $591. And then emailed me asking to send it to his cousin in Nigeria if he gave me an extra $100.
So I cancelled that transaction and am waiting on a 2nd chance offer I made to the guy who bid $510....but if he doesn't answer soon I guess I'm going to re-list it tonight.
In some cases, paying a little above retail makes sense if enough extras are included...
