I have been wanting a treo for a few months now, but like most expensive things i buy i take forever to decide on... i found one on craigslist. her is the add


I've got an unlocked Cingular branded Treo 750 I'd like to sell. The phone is pretty good condition (9/10) considering it was housed in a gel case and a thin protective covering protected the screen. The phone will come with the original box and all the accessories that were unused. The phone was only used for a couple months. It is unlocked so you can use it with any GSM carrier. I purchased the phone and unlocked it for $430, I am willing to let it go for $350. You can email me or contact me 510-501-6733 and leave a message.

my question to you han is, Is 350 too high of a price? or is it reasonable? should i pay cash or check? id prefer check but if he doesn't take checks what should i do? cashiers check? money order or cash?

 

350 is high, i'd offer 250 or 275.

i paid 200 for mine.

 

oh. meet at a cingular store so they can activate the phone there and verify it's not stolen and what not.

 

why would i need to activate it? if i slip in my sim it should be good to go right? and how would they know its stolen? or would it affect me in any way if it is?oh did u upgrade yours to wm6?

If the phone is stolen and then activated the phone signal itself carries an identifying number that will track back to your account.

You meet at the Cingular store and have them check the phone to make sure it is not reported as stolen and you don't waste your money on a stolen item that will cause you headaches.

350 is high I would offer 250-275 at most for a used one regardless of how long the guy says he has owned or used it. Everyone has a "brand new hardly used" item for sale.

 

umm but i dunno with cingular i've never had to activate a phone i just slip the sim card in and start it up, i bought a cheap phone for my parents on ebay, we just slip the sim in and started it up. i know for varizon u need to activate it... ok i'll offer 275

 

Dammit Los read my post and what I said. it is strictly to verify that the phone is not stolen, they don't have to activate it per se but they can look it up on a list to make sure it is a legit deal and not a stolen phone.

 

ahhhh i see ok then i might do that.
