I needed a phone fast so i when on ebay. they where selling for in the 460s i got mine for 470 and $12 shipping just so i could get 2 day shipping. Do you think it was worth it?

I don't like the OnePlus 3, so I went with no.

As for the actual act, that's entirely up to you. Did you find it worth it?

Sounds like you're looking for validation to ease your mind. It's just money. You'll get more you'll lose some. I pay extra for shipping sometimes and its worth it to get it sooner. The bad thing is I'm extremely impatient.

Heck man, wait till you buy something from China and their profit target is S/H.

I am looking at you BMSBattery

 

For a phone, it should not be more then $15-$20 to ship it.

They are so small and light.

Be sure to get shipping insurance.

 

Keep your eyes peeled on Japanese 2 or 3 SIM phone for me ok.

ok so thats 400 african goats, but you paid 470 african seagulls, with 12 shells.

What a waste of money for a phone man.

What a complete and utter waste.

Sorry but consumerism today is out of control.

What does a $500usd phone do that a $75usd phone cant?

Different strokes for different folks. Some people consider a gaming PC a waste of money.
