32 GB black Nexus 5 + 2 cases

Up for grabs is a fair to good condition 32 GB Google Nexus 5. This device is fully functional, but there are a few reasons why it is priced so low.

What it comes with:
- Nexus 5, 32 GB Black
- box/packaging
- manuals/paperwork
- SIM ejection tool
- OEM LG AC adapter
- Motorola microUSB cable
- OEM red Google bumper case ($35 on Play Store)
- black Spigen Slim Armor ($25 on Spigen.com)

What's wrong with the phone? (All of these issues can be seen in the pictures.)
1. Everything smells like smoke/cigarettes. I do not smoke, but the guy I got the phone from did - a lot. The phone doesn't smell too bad anymore, but everything else still smells pretty bad.
2. There are numerous cracks in the body (NOT screen cracks) - one on top of the headphone jack, two next to the volume rocker, two next to the SIM tray.
3. The plastic "nexus" lettering on the back cover came off.
4. The top left of the back cover does not clip onto the body of the phone correctly. The back won't fall off or anything, but that part isn't hanging on.
5. There are quite a few light screen scratches. These cannot be seen when the display is on and can only be seen when the phone is held at a certain angle under certain lighting.
6. The phone has some wax (from an air freshener I used to try to make the phone smell better) in a few crevices.
7. There is a slight area right above the charging port on the back cover where there is some of the matte finish missing.
8. There is a similar situation on the back near the SIM card slot.
9. There is a slash on the right side of the phone that can be seen in the photos.
10. The back has very, very few light scratches.
11. The area next to the charging port has a few scratches.
11. There is a slight crease in the back cover on the left side in the middle.

This looks like a long list of problems, but trust me, the phone looks way better in person. Many of these problems can be fixed just by replacing the back cover, which is around $20-30 on eBay.

The phone is currently running CyanogenMod 12 nightlies, but I can revert to stock 5.1 Lollipop or flash any ROM/kernel you'd like. Just let me know when you purchase.

Please let me know if you have any questions. All offers will be considered, but no lowballs, please.

Thanks for looking!

I'd like to stick with this price for now; it's already the cheapest one on here and it's a 32 GB with extras. Really appreciate your interest, though!

Dropped the price to $223 because a friend expressed interest in the glass screen protector.

Mar 24, 2015 - 06:13 AM

Can you take $210

rgao007 @XDA Seller
- Mar 24, 2015 - 08:42 AM

I'm going to leave the price at $223 for the next few days, but I'll definitely consider your offer after that.

Would you accept a working fair condition Nexus 4 + $80 for the phone?

Mar 25, 2015 - 11:59 AM

It is a 16gb black nexus 4 that fair/good condition. I also live in NJ and we can meet up and exchange!

Sorry man, not really looking for a Nexus 4. I'm actually trying to get enough cash for a Note 4. I appreciate the offer though.

I m interested to buy this phone. observing errors while trying to make payment through my paypal.

Please give me some time to fix it and then will make payment.

Thanks for the interest. Just to let you know, the glass screen protector is no longer included; I decided to take it off because there was so much dust underneath and there was a chip.

Apr 17, 2015 - 08:47 AM

I wanted to buy this for your honesty... Respect to your honesty.......... I am facing a situation that might take couple of days to fix the issues with my PayPal verified address....I don't wanna hold your other prospective buyers.... I step back from this .... I m unlucky to grab this phone.... Happy Swapping.

Apr 17, 2015 - 09:06 AM

I just got an email from PayPal that my verified address will be updated by tomorrow morning CST. I can then make the payment if this phone is still available by then. I am fine with no protector glass. Thank you.
