Default Where can I get a white GS3 other than Sprint or Best Buy?

When is the Best Buy exclusive on the white Galazy S3 for Sprint going to end? I need to get one off contract, but I refuse to pay $699. I know Sprint is an option but I'm trying to avoid paying tax on the purchase.

Nope, they don't carry it for Sprint. Apparently only Verizon and AT&T. Seems Best Buy and Sprint are the only places that carry it for now. Sucks. Guess I'll have to keep checking Swappa and Ebay.

how does purchasing from a retailer let you avoid tax?

Most online places won't charge state tax if they don't have a retail presence in your state. Plus Sprint is forced to charge both a state and federal tax on the sale of their phones which ended up being about 15%. I'd rather wait and find it somewhere else.

I'm looking to buy it full price. My contract is up in a year so I have no interest in renewing.
