Anyone get a new phone on contract and sell it?

[Stelio Kontos]

I got a S4 and it's holding up well. Does everything I need it to. Considering getting the S6 Edge for $99 on a 2 year contract and then selling for $600 or so. This is in Canada with Rogers. Anyone else do this? I don't really need the newest phones and I figure I'll take advantage of these 2 year contracts.

Only downside is my S4 doesn't really hold a charge as well. I'll probably get a replacement battery soon but those are cheap now.

Best way to sell on Craigslist? Oh you guys think the price will come down a little with the S7 and S7 Edge coming out?

If it's for a contract you're keeping regardless, I don't see why not. Sounds like a decent hustle to me.

Anyway, I've sold all my phones via Craigslist but only under $500, if you're going that high, you might wanna try eBay or Amazon.

Hustling backwards type shyt
Bring your own phone plans + employee discounts

You could try, but keep in mind that the phone will be locked to Rogers and even if you get the unlock code, it might not work for every carrier so your chances of selling it to anyone is limited.

Pretty much. They screw us on the plans and shyt might as well take advantage of their offers to make some $$$

Not sure about Ebay or Amazon, always hear people talking about how easy it is to get screwed by a buyer.

True. I figure Rogers has a big enough base of consumers though.

Craigslist is easy though, just meet up at a Starbucks. No one's gonna try some shyt around all those yuppies. You shouldn't have an issue with the phone locking up if you're in good standing but you're keeping the phone line so the phone will stay good regardless.
