So I'm curious, am I the only one nuts enough to considering selling his GS3(probably on ebay) for the 4-500 price to get Note 2?
I've recently gotten an itch for a tablet but don't see the need of one when I've got my phone and really think this would be a nice in between for the two.

I am also definitely selling my s3 for the Note 2. My only problem is i don't have a back up phone and have to buy the Note first before I can sell my s3. How are you guys selling it for $400. Mine is absolutely mint and everyone on CL low balls at around $300. If i can get $350 i would be happy since i bought mine at full retail.

you should be able to get 400 easy...hell gs3's with cracked screens are going for 300. Ignore the lowballers!

That's good to hear and know. Maybe ill try ebay. I hate not having the instant cash but just saw a blue s3 going for $405 with multiple bids and like 2 days left. I mean my accessories in the box and still in their plastic.

Price it for $395 with many CLEAR pics. Mine sold in 15 minutes with the guy coming to me. Also, if you need an interim phone, buy a thunderbolt and a sim adapter. I paid $50 for my thunderbolt on CL. Many are going for $80 - $120. You can just resell it when done and lose your $3.00 sim adapter investment ;)

If you sell on ebay be sure to make it known that you are verifying the condition of the device with photos and video before shipment. That will discourage the scammers from trying to swap with a busted device and then sticking you for the money. Or even better when they break it within the first day and try to claim you sent a a damaged item.

Otherwise you can get burned because ebay will usually side with the buyer on any dispute. I learned the hard way with a previous smart phone sale. Took a month to get my money back along with a busted phone.

Just know that on eBay you have a lot more in fees, even if it sells for $50 more on eBay most of that will end up being paid to eBay/PayPal anyways.

Damn...must be demographics then. I live in Kansas City (cheap bastards...jk!).
I sold a Nexus 7 16gig for $120 and a iPhone 4 for $120 yesterday but I was impatient. If I was smart I would have off loaded that Nexus 7 a few months ago. Still a nice tablet hands down but I want to focus on one device and that's the Note 2.
