I bought a phone off eBay a while ago, n when I got it after two weeks of waiting, it wasn't at all what the Guy told me! The screen had a huge crack and it froze as soon as your turned it on! Lol bad experience with eBay! And craigslist everyone wants like 300 to 400, if I wanted to spend that much I would just buy a new phone out rate from Verizon yahno? Thank you though ill keep looking.

Getting lucky on craigslist is your best bet. Everyone is out to make money but a few here and there will post it for what they paid or less with an upgrade or new contact. Good luck with your hunt.

I saw a similar question about this before and I wrote a quick blog about it here: We're All Closet Nerds!: How To Buy/Sell an Android Smart Phone

You can use eBay to find the TRUE market value of a Dinc, then use that info to bargain down a Craigslist seller. Most CL listers think they can recuperate like 95% of their purchase price and that's just dumb. Unless the Dinc has the InvisiShield, a (recessed) rubber case, no water damage on the phone/battery, AND comes with the original box, then it's not worth more than $250 max. I paid $225 for mine because I know the eBay price
 
I got my phone for free from best buy but I had to sign up for a new 2 year agreement, The upside I selected to pay for the 10 dollar a month insurance... So when I chose to root it in case I bricked it I could return it and get a new one :)

Let me get this straight...You're paying $240 on top of the ~$235 credit your 2yr contract afforded you just in case you brick your phone that is now worth around $250 new in the box? That better be some hardcore super beast-mode customization
