i-bystander Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Anyone know where I can get an unlocked GSM cell for cheap? I don't mind used ones, as long as they've been taken care of. It has to have BT, and has to be under $100... preferably under $50. You folks with HoFo connections can probably hook me up fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrn8 Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Tiger Direct has a handful under $100...blackberry models included, but not the most current. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrn8 Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 LOL, no. I don't particularly like them either, but if there's no rebate involved they seem to be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meltz Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Did you search for that specific model?Eventually I did. I first searched for "unlocked GSM phone" and a lot of L6 & L7 SLVRs came up. I found one with reasonable shipping, and I won the auction. I bought for my upcoming trip to Spain. I figure that if I want I can always sell it when I get back for almost as much as I paid. Either that, or I'll use it with a different SIM chip for when I go to Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Just out of curriosity... How does one justify $98 in shipping by USPS ? I see this over and over with cell phones. How does e-bay determine if shipping is "reasonable?" example: http://cgi.ebay.com/New-Motorola-L7-Unlocked-Quad-Band-GSM-Bluetooth-SLVR_W0QQitemZ9744448983QQihZ008QQcategoryZ64355QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fulfam Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 I have no idea how they justify it, it seems they are doing it so if they dont get a high bid they still get a certain amount of money for the phone. And ones that are buy it now with high shipping its because they have the phone price marked at x dollars and the shipping at x dollars so they make the certain amount of money they want for the phone. Its pretty stupid they should just make the phone listed for x dollars and then actual shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
