Paid 6 bucks for my epic 4g touch

so i have service with at&t and have been waiting for months to get this phone and finally thought it was gonna happen on the 18th but guess again at&t pushed it back again so i was eager to see what it looked like so i walked in to sprint to see it and was blown away by its beauty so after discussing plans to compare them with at&t they told me i could get a unlimited plan for 80 bucks flat because of my job i get it a a discount so my phone started ringing so i pulled it out (iphone4) and the sprint guy told me they buy them so long story short i sold my iphone and got the epic touch 4g and some screen protectors with a final out of pocket cost of 6 bucks needless to say I'm very happy with my purchase...oh yea eff you at&t lol

i'd say congrats but sprint seems to pay a lot less for phones than craigslist (or ebay) but a lot less hassle. so if you were looking for great deal, you mighta want to sell your phone elsewhere. i think deal last week was ebates/letstalk like $40 for new sprint subscribers and surely iphone 4 worth more than that?

I agree...you. Op you couldve got way more money for your ip4. When i was at the sprint getting my epic touch, like you i pulled out my current phone which was a photon and rep was like we can buy that back from you...i asked him, how much and he said..$115. In my head i was thinking what a joke...and i politely said no thanks.

I ended uo selling it for $290

You guys are right i prolly could have gotton at least another hundred on craiglist but to me it wasnt even worth it to me because i was staring at the phone i have been wanting to own for 3 months and there no way i was gonna walk away from it and they gave me 215 dollars which covered the whole phone if you think about all the people that paid 6 or 7 hundred dollars overseas for the original version i made out pretty good also my iphone was not in the best of shape it was banged and scratched up pretty good i was surprised they took it
