i got two 6700's and two LG Fusics from an ebay power seller, but it was only because I was a new customer and i signed a two year contract. I got all the phones free (no rebates required), first month bill free including data, free shipping, no activation fee. there were a few stipulations but I was okay with those, like i can't change my plan in the first month and i can't apply an employee discount.
It appears that the incentive for that power seller to do that was to sign new customers with "high credit ratings" because those with better credit are likelier to pay their bills on time. Also, in the last couple of years sprint's been suffering a lot of delinquencies as far as bills being paid on time and what not. So, I mean in this case is worked for everyone's benefit. I can't, however, put my finger on what the motivation to sell is here. If he's not extending contracts, then how is he making commission? Sprint's not gonna be paying him. Is he trying to achieve ebay crediblity by selling the phone at the price he gets it from the manufacturer, therefore making no profit? It would make more sense that those units, even when bought in massive quanities would go more than $250. Maybe, he's selling some to lose money but he makes it up with high commissions he receives in signing on new customers in another venue, but it makes me wonder. Please keep us updated, Coop.

Well I just fell for it - for a "new" refurb Mogul for $175. If he's getting refurb's as well as new phones it looks like he must work for Sprint. Nothing else really makes sense - particularly since he only has Sprint phones. He's gotten some rough feedback, but it all seems to be with slow shipping - not with the product. I've been thinking about switching for a while (now that my 6700 is running really well with the latest kitchen!) and now that it looks like the upgrade is a sure thing I just decided to go for it. We'll see. - sheureka

I don't know... Seems ok to me, his feedback is good.
I got my phone for 199.99 after I get the $100.00 rebate back... So I am VERY happy with my purchase... After I sell my Treo 650, the deal is even sweeter!  Of course I had to agree to a two year contract... :P Last edited by Insoc; 11-27-2007 at 11:55 PM. |

Just accepted an offer for $230 I just kind of randomly did this on a whim.. Didn't expect it to accept.. I have the funds available, I just hope it goes smooth and he's not a shady seller... Only reason I even tried it was because of the 99% feedback and others on here buying from him. *Crosses fingers* for a true clean ESN... Last edited by Maverick7687; 11-27-2007 at 11:56 PM. |

You couldn't go much lower. I just jumped to 230 from 200 which was rejected.
I like the idea of assembling somewhere in Ohio if this guy is a fraud... |
