eBay/other selling sites really need to have some way of hiding items and sellers. When you're looking to buy something it's too easy to come across things you just don't want. For things like this there's always tons of "for parts only", cracked, blacklisted items and then you keep seeing them again. You could always get the really lower priced items that are more blemished but then you're skirting the line on acceptable trade in or not. Bring in a questionable item and if it gets rejected you're left holding a donor phone you didn't really want. I felt better spending a little more for a phone I was sure they'd take.
I thought I wwas following the thread closely but also don't remember seeing the S22 Ultra drop to $800, in general. Unless I missed something it may have been what you pointed out - the slightly lower price for AT&T or T-Mobile activate now price.
Maybe it was this?:
Juku: what does it say on your receipt? Is it just the phone? When I bought my VZW activated S22 Ultra it showed the phone and SIM card on the receipt. However, when I bought my S22+ with no activation, it just had the phone and a spot that says "UNACTIVATED". If your receipt says UNACTIVATED I think you may have gotten the phone in a small window of time that it actually did drop in price.

But that is only part of what I asked/stated.
Costco also "requires" (so they think) an SSN.
With all the data breaches compromises, a pin is an option (I Insisted on it and they happily obliged)
TMO does NOT require SSN can just use a PIN.

Costco will blah blah blah SSN. They then call the TMO and tell them 1111 default code.
Supposedly BBY is the same.
The default for the SSN bypass supposedly 1111 at worst buy?
Did the trade-in last Sat for S22 Ultra 128GB, came out to $39x.xx after trading in my S20+ including $35 T-Mobile Activation Fees. Not sure if there was any way to avoid Activation charges.
It was coming out cheaper going with T-Mobile Activation rather than going the Unlocked route.
So far happy with S22 Ultra.

They have to do this before processing as a refund. Once a refund is processed, nothing can be done for the coupon.
