How much would you pay for a used black berry curve?

Asked by Glow (1366points) September 12th, 2009

Some one is selling a curve 8320 for 180. Do you think it’s too much or is that a good deal? I was thinking about asking them for just the phone, no charger, since i have one, and asking 100 bucks. Is that an okay price for phone only???

and phone is in excellent condition, according to the poster.

180 is way too much to be asking; I don’t think I paid that much for mine new. I’d look on craigslist and ebay at comparable items for an idea of what it’s within reason to offer, and show him those ads when you make your counter-offer. I wouldn’t try to get a discount on the basis of the charger: chargers are basically worthless – certainly not worth an 80 discount.

Yeah, they sell them used at Wireless Toys for about $100, and that’s retail.

Actually, this was on craigslist. ): I was trying to look for other offers to compare it to, but not much luck, as most people are charging PASSED that. I did see t-mobile offer it for 130, but only for a new plan and amazon has them for one penny, but you also have to buy a plan. Maybe I can bring that up to the poster?

The brought the price down from 185 to 180 since yesterday, so im guessing they are willing to deal a bit?

Used at that place for 100?! I might as well go there! :P

I found an online forum that can give you all kinds of information on the blackberry. You might want to read some of their posts to see what they say. You might be able to get some good advice there too. good luck in your shopping search!

@Glow: Yeah, it’s not a bad place. They only have whatever people have traded in, so the selection of used stuff absolutely sucks, but what they have is for pretty good prices (I think).

Too much. Blackberry is well past that model series, like by 3 or 4 years.

Hm, some one just offered me 100 for theres (8320 again).

I know its an old model series, which is why im wary of paying too much, even for one in good condition, If I can get it cheaper. I don’t want to regret it!

I’ll browse out that forum when I am not so tired. I just wonder if 100 is too much or just right for a used one?
