Between my PlayBook week one purchase and Z10 week one purchase I paid over $1300 for devices that rapidly lost value and both can be bought for about $300 combined now. I should have bought an iPad because it would be worth more and still supported by Apple unlike the PlayBook. I bet my kids iPhone 5 could still fetch $500 aftermarket.

I used the word "value", because it is completely determined by perception. Perception in the US of A, gives BlackBerry zero value.

- Same can be said about buying a new car etc. What is important is that the device u have invested in is useful over the years. I bought my PB 64gb for about $229 and T-Mobile gave me a good deal on my Z10. The Playbook is going through daily usage by my son and I while the Z10 has far exceeded my expectations. So it doesn't bother me.

- Most, if not all, were purchased through employee pricing ~ $125 CAD (for a brand new one), so kijiji is a huge rip off. I have a Z30 now and sold my Z10 to help pay for it. I actually miss the Z10, and will most likely be picking it up through EPP as a back up phone, seeing as how it is practically a steal at that price. I am getting a Q10 as well once it hits sub $200.12-14-13 06:49 AMLike 0
- To be honest, anything besides iPhones and Samsung Galaxy phones hold very little value a few months after release. So if one is inclined to sell their phone in the future, buying anything else besides iPhones or Galaxy Phones make very little sense.12-14-13 06:51 AMLike 0

You buy a consumer electronics item to consume it over time. Due to technological advancement and the faddish nature of virtually all such items, along with quite-short warranties and their near-universal non-transferrability their resale value drops precipitously as soon as you walk out of the store.
The person who demands to have the newest and most-recently-released of such an item thus will pay double (and sometimes more) than what someone who is willing to wait for a while until that particular item is no longer the "hot new thing" will.
That you expected this particular item to buck what is a nearly-universal rule when it comes to consumer technology makes you the unrealistic fool.bungaboy likes this.12-14-13 07:14 AMLike 1 -
Posted via CB1012-14-13 07:33 AMLike 0 - Anyone buying technology-related consumer products and not considering them expensed to zero -- or effectively so -- at the time of acquisition is an *****.

- I was just on Kijiji, and I saw a few Z10's and even legacy devices. I saw a Q10 and thought it was overpriced. If you bought the phone yourself, it's used, as soon as it's out of the box. So value should go down by 50%. And if you've then used it lightly for a few months, you should take more money off. It's only fair. Some people charge way too much. I see it for iPhones. Yeah, they're expensive but if you ask $400 for a used one, I still don't think it's going to go well.
Posted via CB1012-14-13 08:39 PMLike 0 - I thought so too, so I bought it. This is the 4th Z10 I have purchased, I gifted the other 3. Keeping this one for myself.
Posted via CB1012-15-13 12:04 AMLike 2 - Actually it looks live z10 is hard to get in germany. Amazon sells the phone now for 379? instead of 279?.
Posted via CB1012-15-13 12:23 PMLike 0 - Actually Amazon in Germany won't sell z10. The lowest price for a new one is 344?. The anounced price on the platform is 391?. The white model is priced by 269?.
