I have a brand-new in box AT&T 8525 (HTC Hermes). I got it yesterday when my original Cingular 8525 stylus silo would no longer hold the stylus properly. AT&T sent me a crappy refurb (obvious cosmetic flaws) so I complained nicely and got a brand-new one instead! ;)

I have been using a Blackjack in the meantime (Samsung SGH-i607) which has been meeting my needs and I am now eyeing the HTC Kaiser with lust and envy (deadly sins...)

I'm not dying to sell but if the right offer came along... PM me if you want to negotiate and I might be persuaded to part with it...

Its a smart decision, not many people have NEW 8525's. Also as soon as the Kaiser comes out the 8525 is gonna drop in price, which means he'll get less regardless of new or old. You should get rid of that a.s.a.p. But if I were you I would save up for the shift instead of the kaiser.

@neptune:

You're right, this would be a smart decision if I was intent on wringing out every nickel for the 8525 but I am self-employed and my time is too valuable making money on a contract basis to spend it dickering over a few dollars. When I am going to upgrade a device, I typically undersell the market a few bucks to get the sale over with. I actually come out ahead this way all things considered.

I have decided to sell my new-in-box AT&T 8525 to the first person who PayPals me $395 US plus shipping. No lowballers, please. This is a fair price and I'm not in a hurry to sell. PM me if you're interested. I'm only advertising it on xda-developers for now; I hate putting up with the herd over at HoFo.

I've had my HTC TyTN (same thing as an 8525/Hermes, etc) and it's been the best device I've ever owned!

For anyone considering purchasing one, you won't regret it.

If I didn't already have one I'd jump on the offer.

$395 US (PayPal) takes it, buyer pays shipping. Still 100% virgin, new-in-box. C'mon, you know you want it... Reasonable offers now being entertained.
