Radio Shack offers iPhone at big discount
Just in time for your Christmas shopping, "The Shack" is offering the iPhone 4 at an incredibly nice discount.
The deal is this -- you can buy a 16GB iPhone 4 for just $149, which is $50 off the price that you'll find at Apple or AT&T stores, and much better than even picking one up at your local Walmart. That price, of course, requires a minimum 2-year commitment to an AT&T plan.
The 32GB iPhone 4 is similarly priced at $249, and an 8GB iPhone 3GS is an absolute steal at $49. In addition, if you have a working and non-damaged iPhone 3G, you can get a $75 trade-in credit. A 3GS will get you a whopping $125 trade-in.
You can only get this deal by walking into a Radio Shack location, and this is only good through Saturday, December 11. Grab that old 3GS and get movin' to "The Shack" before it's too late.

Holy crap! I think that is an old picture of the Radio Shack here in Fayetteville!
Can anyone verify? http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&safe=off&client=safari&q=n+college+fayetteville+ar&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=N+College+Ave,+Fayetteville,+Arkansas&gl=us&ei=G6L-TOLOOcGBlAexmeTpCA&oi=geocode_result&ved=0CBQQ8gEwAA&ll=36.084801,-94.155469&spn=0.001084,0.00224&t=h&z=19&layer=c&cbll=36.084637,-94.155509&panoid=vskPIiHfSIm_OpJl5N-G0A&cbp=12,80.54,,1,0.69
You can upgrade, if eligible through AT&T, by trading in your current 3Gs iPhone for a new iPhone 4 for only $25 (after all the discounts)! But, they also add tax. Not the sales tax of the $25 discounted iPhone, but the sale tax of the iPhone's retail price, which is $599. That's $58.40 (9.75% in my area) plus the $25 for the iPhone. So the bottom line is that, if you're eligible, you can get the 16GB iPhone 4, by trading in your 3Gs (in good condition), with a new two-year contract, for about $83. Still a pretty good deal. Just wish some of these news reports would mention this tax of the retail price they're including. It's good to know the WHOLE truth on so-called "good deals".

Go to a Radio Shack and try and get one! They don't exist... i went to 3 stores...zero... oh but they were all quick to try and sell me something else...can you say Bait and Switch!
The first one I checked didn't have any, but luckily there are several within walking distance of my office and the second one had them in stock.
What luck that I caught the story this morning, because I was ready to buy one anyway, probably at AT&T.
Well none of the Radioshacks in Hawaii will honor the trade-in for the iphones. Yet another reason why living in Hawaii sucks.

December 10 2010 at 12:57 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyThose trade in values aren't really that great, considering you can get about $175-$200 for a 3G iphone on ebay, and $300+ for a 3GS.
December 06 2010 at 1:57 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyI just picked one up. You can't be $150, but they only offered me $8 for my 3G.
December 06 2010 at 1:42 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyI just got the last iPhone 4 from my local Radio Shack for $50. Traded in my 3GS for $125. Deal of the year.
December 06 2010 at 1:34 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyAT&T is matching their pricing. Never thought I would see that!
