From the past experience do you know after a new phone launch, when does costco starts selling phone without any bogo promo for a lower price? And does costco refund you the money in difference in 14 days or 30 days?

If anyone in orange county doesn't need their second note 20 ultra, pm me and I'll split the cost with you.
Not in OC but just out of interest, what do you mean split the cost as in $$ amount?
Wouldn't selling one be better than splitting the cost after doing all the legwork for them?

Selling, splitting... Call it what you will. I did the same for someone else last time I did this deal. Some people don't want to deal with shadiness of 3rd party web sites, shipping and potential of fraud. Others are fine with proof of purchase with Costco receipt and in person inspection. Some are willing to do extra leg work for the Costco warranty alone whereas the person purchasing from private party sell won't get that. It doesn't always have to be about $'s to get other benefits in a split

So, you would pay $1,000 if I sold you my 2nd one as my final cost is $800 each?

your final cost isn't $800 each. you have to consider the additional new line for 3-4 months & tax.

$1169 (preorder) + $102.2875 (tax in OC 8.75%) = $1271.2875 for one phone
$1271.2875x2 = $2542.575 (2 phones) - $1000 (rebate card) = $1542.575

Rebate card takes 2-4 months to show up. 2 months is rare, 3 months avg, sometimes delayed up to 4 months OR you could end up waiting 6 months and dealing with the promotions team if it never sends out. Let's use 3 months since it's the average timeframe.
Most tmobile lines are $20 add a line now or $10 if you're in a grandfathered plan.
$20 (add a line) + $1.75 (tax) + ~$1-$2 (misc fee's from tmobile) = ~$25/month 3 months = $75
$10 (add a line) + $0.875 (tax) + ~$1-$2 (misc fee's from tmobile) = ~$13/month 3 months = $36

$1542.575 + $75 (if its $20 to add a line) = $1617.575 or $808.7875/phone
if $10 to add a line then $1578.575 or $789.2875/phone

So I guess if you have the $10 grandfathered plan then yeah it is $800 split. But you also have to consider
•would he get the $150 samsung promo credit or do you get to keep it?
•He doesn't get the costco warranty but he knows for a fact its brand new, paid off and still gets samsung warranty
•Official price in stores is $1299 MSRP.
•Grandfathered plans arn't available anymore so generally the $20 add a line is the standard price should he benefit off of that


Although he may argue that he doesn't get the costco warranty. There's lots of things going against you since you're taking the risk by opening the line and doing the leg work. $800 would be friends & family price. $900-$950 would be a more fair price for a slickdeals trade. Whereas $1000-$1150 would be a craigslist type price.
Not taking sides or anything but trying to point out the facts and benefits for both parties. In the end it doesn't even matter about who is benefiting more but if you're willing to let go of your extra device at a certain price and if he's willling to buy at that price. If you wanted to go by the books and say look you can't buy it outside for $800 so I'll sell it to you for $900 and he accepts cool or it could go the other way and you agree to sell for $750-$800 but you get to keep the $150 samsung credit.

2 x $1,170 = $2,340
7.25% Taxes = $ 170
Line Cost = $ 70 ($23x3) Extra line is $20 plus tax. From past experience rebates get paid within 45 days so, I have been able to cancel the line end of month 2, but allowing 3 months this time.
--------------
Total $2,580
Rebate - $1,000
-------------
Final Cost $1,580 Equals $790 each

So, $790 for each Note 20 Ultra and I have 2 x $150 accessory credit on top for each device.
If I sell one for over $800 my cost for the 1 goes down accordingly.

The wireless kiosk isn't run by costco but a 3rd party company "Wireless Advocates". Generally you can return the phone within 90 days but make sure you didn't sign a 2 year contract or anything otherwise you may still be on the hook for that. T-mobile doesn't have 2 year contracts unless you're on certain business lines.

Generally in november they start offering BOGO rather than $1000 off the 2nd phone. If you're willing to wait 2-4 months it'll probably start popping up. You can search previous deals for note 8 and 9 which also came out around august in previous years.

If you're asking about If you buy the phone now and in 3 months they have a BOGO promo if you can return the phone and get the bogo price or do that promo instead. They simply won't refund or match the price. You'd have to go through the entire process of returning your phone, closing the line AND THEN open a new line for the new promo. Keep in mind that generally for these add a line promotions if you cancelled any lines within the previous 90 days you have to reinstate them before getting the new promo. You'd also technically have to return all the promo stuff you got from the previous offer ($1,000 rebate card and $150 samsung credit) but in the past people got away with it sometimes.

That's a pretty sweet deal for that guy if you're willing to sell it for $800, even if you keep the samsung credit. I'd just make sure you guys set the terms beforehand (no returns, exchanges, warranties) don't come to me with issues. It can be a pain dealing with some people (not saying the other person is like this) but from past experiences people may have buyers remorse, find a better/cheaper phone and want to return a now "used" phone to you.

My Wireless Advocate just texted me that my Ultras are ready for pickup. Damnit too busy today. Will have to wait until tomorrow morning.

My calculation comes out to $685 per phone after applying $1000 rebate and $150 accessory credit. Slick!!

Agreed.
I would not be giving the $150 credit when I sell the 2nd Note 20 Ultra and I assume I will get on the low end, which is not what I would do unless it wasn't selling at the higher end between $900 - $1,100 on Swappa for a little fee and shipping or Craigslist/Offfer Up for no fee

I won't be selling to him but just wanted to point out how much of a sweet deal he looking for (Splitting the Cost) when the seller has done all the work.

He has a point that some people just don't want to deal with the hassle and looking to unload that second phone. But I'm going to assume that since you're a level 6 expert, member since 2009 and contributing over 1k posts. You know how to use the internet and can price effectively. There are people are there that aren't as savvy so they'd be willing to do the trade. I'm sure there's lots of people actually that's going to try and sell/buy via slickdeals since it's safer/cheaper/more reliable than craigslist. But I don't think posting in the forums is a good idea since it'll be lost and not too many people would see it. It'd be better to have a list of people buying/selling with an actual offer of what they want (willing to pay/sell for) in the wiki page located under the OP's post. Kinda like the old giftcard trade for promo code threads.

Since you have multiple samsung credits though... the next question is can you apply more than 2 credits to one purchase? In the past I didn't want to risk it or bother with customer service so I use each credit on seperate orders.

Are you on the east coast? I'm assuming that noon (at the earliest) wherever your from is when you should be expecting a message from your sales rep. For others that are lurking in this thread and waiting for their confirmation email too.

Also, this one is for my wife.
I purchased mine from Samsung yesterday with my 50% Insights discount and other discounts, unidays, cashback, Discover/Paypal etc.......Final cost will be $465 and that is including the $200 accessories credit that I got.
I sold my Note 10+ for $670 last week.

I believe you can't apply multiple $150 credits to 1 order.......but it doesn't hurt to try Lol
