So my Latino friends are tough to get in touch with. They view the concept of time differently than from where I am in the U.S.
I am supposed to have a skype with one of my friends in Nicaragua Thursday (tomorrow for me). I hopefully will have answers for all of those who have inquired.
Also, I won't be going there until June or July, so if you have any older phones and you don't need an answer asap, please keep posting! I plan on bringing as many phones with me as I can.
Thanks!

I have old smartphone, if I'm not mistaken it's samsung note 3. but it's not good enough in its software. I didn't figured it out yet.
Ill sell you a iPhone 3g if you want. Pm me a offer.
Hi coachhip (and to others who have posted):
I have a skype with one of my friends in Nicaragua tomorrow. We will discuss all the phones mentioned on this thread, including your iPhone 3g. I'll have a better idea about what he thinks he can get for it.
Thanks to all who have posted.
To those who are reading: if have a used smart phone and you want to see if I can get something for it, it doesn't hurt to ask!
Thanks!

Let me know sir
Cheers
Let me know sir

Thanks Jog4444, I will add that to the list. I remember those phones! I had one of those a few phones ago
Please, everyone else, keep the questions coming! I know my friends will get back to me at some time, and I am not headed down there any time soon as it is.
Thanks!
What would you pay for an iPhone 1? It came with a dock and controller, I include that too. It is in a used condition, and there is a line of dead pixels a few pixels wide across the screen.
Hi Monnt,
I will add your phone to the list of types which I'll ask my friends in Nicaragua. I wouldn't expect too much, but I as a U.S. citizen who only visits Central America, I don't know for sure.
BTW, thanks to all who have posted. I have sent out an email to 3 friends in Nicaragua and 1 in Mexico. Hopefully they will get back to me soon, but Latin America time is different than U.S. time
I have some old mobile phones. they are useless for me. but may you can do something with theses. but let me tell you these are not smartphones. some of them camara phones and some of them simple mobile phones.. no problem if you pay me one two dollars for each. and one more thing I am not from USA.. but it is not a big issue. we can easily ship these to everywhere.
I'm not sure if they have any value. I can ask. If they have no value to you, and you want to send them to me, I will definitely bring them down when I go in July. I could pay you for postage if that helps.
Not sure what else you want. I mean I know you want one or two dollars for them. Just think about that for a second from their perspecitve: one or two dollars down there is like 10 or 20 dollars in the U.S. If I sold them for what I bought them for, they would still be too expensive. It's a priority thing: they have to be thinking about how to pay the rent, much less how to pay for a cell phone.
Anyhow, if you want to pm/post what you have, and how many, and the cost of the postage to a U.S. address, we could see if we can make something work.
Thanks!

I am looking to buy your older smartphone with bitcoin. I then bring them to Central America to sell them for pennies on the dollar. (That's all they can afford). I am therefore looking for sharp pricing. It's not worth if for me if it's too expensive.
I would be looking for old iphones, Samsungs, and androids.
I am willing to use an escrow service.
I am located in the U.S. You too must be located in the U.S.
Thanks! I hope to hear from you! Feel free to ask me anything!

I have a mint iphone 4s thats just sitting in the box
I am pretty sure its still linked to verizon although I have not used the
phone in a couple years.
What would you par for a mint 4s

I will email my friends and they can get back to me.
Just to adjust your expectations, and not to kill the sale, but I imagine you could probably do better on ebay. But, if you're okay with getting less, knowing you'll get something for it, and you'll help some Central American dude can catch up to 2011 U.S standards, then we may have a deal. Nevertheless, I will check with my friends, because they know their market better.
Thanks for the opportunity!

I have an IPhone 4, but 15 dollars isn't going to cut it.
What would cut it? Can you give a price range?
I'm guessing if you want the most $ from your iPhone, you would have better luck selling it on eBay. Unfortunately, my target market just can't afford much.
So you might want a BTC>USD proxy purchaser/search agent for older smartphones on eBay?
What are you offering? PM me so you can elaborate. Thanks!
I'm suggesting somebody might do that for you. I can only do the search agent part right now.
I've searched on eBay manually. Everybody is trying to make a profit (understandably). The prices are geared towards to people who live in developed countries. They are too high for my Central American friends. It's just the way it is down there.

I think I have a Sony Xperia , 2-3 old Samsungs and bunch of Nokias lying around. Would you accept Nokia too because I think they are pretty popular overseas. I imagine the people in Central America would want these?
The thing is, Dimension, those older phones are kind of on par with something like an old smartphone in the U.S. Everyone has them, and many are just sitting around, kind of used as play toys or when someone has enough money, they will activate it just for a few minutes, when they REALLY have to make a call, and then it lies dormant until the next time.
The biggest cost is getting the phones down there. Shipping them is expensive, and 90% of the time, your package
I don't think they have any value where I go (Mostly Nicaragua, but occasionally Costa Rica and Panama.) I could ask my Latino friends and see what they say.
You might have better luck giving them to a local phone store. I know that Verizon has a box where you donate your old phone for some cause. But, I will ask my friends. About how many do you have?
