What crazy deals on Flipkart's electronic section today! I am thinking of exchanging my old Moto G (1st gen) with the second gen or maybe with some other phone. iPhone 4s is available for 7499 after exchange which I think is a good deal if you daily use is calls, text, few apps, mails and navigation. I've already shortlisted 3 phones in my cart. Boy have I turned eShopoholic.

How are you seeing the exchange?

Thanks just swapped my wifes 5 year old iphone 4 with a fresh iphone 4s. Hopefully the flipkart one, last as long as the old one, which is still working fine. Swapping it as my moms 5 year old iphone 4 just conked out last week with a blank display. Both the iphones were bought from the apple store in singapore

Is it really worth exchanging an iPhone 4 for Rs. 4000 when it can be sold on OLX for well over Rs. 6000?

Yeah Flipkart's exchange prices for the used phones are ridiculous! 2k for a Lumia 920 - no thanks. I was eyeing the Moto G if I could get a decent resale value for the 920 but I am sticking to it for a while. Best to sell them elsewhere.

I was being offered 2k for my Lumia 720! :Frustrati The screen alone costs Rs. 9,220 to replace!

And for the iPhone 5C FK are offering, Rs. 6000.

That said, a person I know is coming down from USA, I was eying the RavPower 18200mAH powerbank.

It costs only $40 on amazon.com. Definitely worth it, in my opinion.

Anyone else that knows anything or has used RavPower?

cross-referencing my post in another thread.

Any views/opinions on this.

@Mods - posted link to same post in another thread as well since this talks about online shopping in general. If you think in-appropriate, please delete.

I did not find anything from Flipkart to be 'crazy'.
You will most likely get a better deal selling your working mobile on Olx, Quikr, etc.

To be honest, even I didn't find today's deals on Flipkart to be 'crazy'. Like all their sales, they're just creating a hype to woo customers.

Could you please elaborate on the deals you got on the other phones??
Not meaning to be offensive here, but just to know!

Sorry, but I wouldn't have the patience to sell anything on OLX and then haggle with so many people. And then get that money after multiple calls and utilise it to buy a product at a better rate. Also, this deal works out perfectly if you've got old phones like Lumia 520 and HTC Explorers or Sony Xperia E and on top of that you get 10% more discount if you have Axis bank card.

I guess, I travel about 40 kms a day for work and I find these deals awesome because Flipkart will come to either of my location anytime and collect the old item from me and give me the new one.

I bought my brother a Moto G2 by exchanging his Lumia 720 (which I gifted him about 2 years ago) and also, i got a 10% additional discount. Which IMHO isn't a bad deal for I got rid of the old lagging phone, with cracked back panel, which did serve him well mind you.

And the city where he lives, no one wants to buy a windows phone. So yeah, good deal for him.

I'm yet to close in on a deal. I'm itching to do away with my 1st Gen MotoG, but then it is doing its job perfectly fine. So not sure what I'm gonna do.

Also, being a eShopoholic that I admitted I've become. Shopping online with peace of mind is something that excites me and hence I was generous with all the exclamation marks that I used in my previous post.

Don't take it seriously.lol:

Yes. You have to spend a little more effort, though not as much as calling people multiple times to get your money.

You get paid more if you choose to sell the phone to a buyer directly (selling via other channels) - just like selling a car directly to a buyer instead of an agent.

Edit: When I look back now, I think the last time I purchased something from Flipkart was 2 years ago - simply because they were the cheapest for the product that I wanted to gift someone.

I purchase quite a lot every month online - somehow Flipkart's pricing never excites me.

Well said.
I was sceptical of OLX selling, but crazy as it sounds, last month sold my 5 year old discontinued iPhone 3GS (8GB model) without bill for Rs. 4000/-! :eek:(people want such antique items it seems)

And no the deal was done after taking only 2 calls. deactivate the ad as soon as you are done and no one will bother calling you after that.
