Why are they being sold on Craigslist for upwards of $200? I have seen two friends get duped. Not good.

Yup! Money

I'd rather buy on craigslist than get a refurb

Besides that is 30 with 2yr contract

[NCBuckeye]

I get them without a contract extension on premier.

[RobM]

sounds like a deal to me

My $50 refurb Pearl from ATT has been just peachy. Usually the carrier's refurbs come from people who return in the first 30 days for whatever reason. Any devices with real problems are usually weeded out.

Now, if you're buying from a random 3rd party, that's another story.

[ep8703]

does that include e bay

[tgeekb]

I have bought refurbs in the past with no problems. They are tested before they are resold so they should work as new. Sounds like a great deal.

I bought my curve thru AT&T refurb for @30. worked PERFECT. I bought a curve thru TMO and went back to them because I just like their plans better

[tazeat]

Where do you get $30 refurb Pearls?

Even w/ a two year contract with ATT (ewe losing money for sure there) I dont see them for under 80... Cell Phones & Devices - | Wireless from AT&T, formerly Cingular

[supershick]

I'm curious too. Is it possible to just buy the phone without the data plan from AT&T?

[Mister_X]

I just got an refurbished 8310 with AT&T for free with a two-year contract extension.

[dwp1975]

I am eligible to get a refurbished 8310 for $49.99 and I may just pick one up.

My employer has purchased maybe fifteen 8310's over the last few months. They should now be free. Our most recent order was. All of Them are visually flawless. Even with the plastic strips covering the device front to back. Come loaded the 4.2.2.170 firmware.

However, some users have reported an inability to use Bluetooth. I have NOT verified this!
