Free Thunderbolt

[TxGoat]

In case anyone's looking to get into one now that the prices are dropping like crazy, Best Buy's going to have them free with a new 2 year contract if you go on Black Friday.

If you're looking to sell your TB between now and a few weeks, better get to selling it now!

Oh that's okay. I only paid $250 for mine

...crap. When you buy something that's free, do you have to pay sales tax or is it completely free free?

People who buy from other people do so because they don't want the 2yr contract so I dont think it has any effect on anybody selling their phone (if you were up for a new contract why would you buy a TB now). If you didn't sell the TB before droid charge, LG Revolution and Droid bionic were released you sure arent expecting to get top dollar for it now 5 like or better spec'd LTE phones later (I'm including Rezound and Galaxy Nexus since they're just around the corner).

And I'd pay the $150 contract price before dealing with black friday crowds lol

Free free also keep in mind with any phone the price only goes down with time. When you got the bolt it was the best or one of the best available on VZW there will be several phones that outshine it by the time it is free

That's true on the Black Friday crowds. They act crazy for $20 off of a 2 year old laptop.


The only reason I say that once the phone is offered free, it tends to be something that people look at when buying their phone off contract from someone else. I figure if people are on the fence about selling their phone, this might be enough to get them to sell.
