It is a Republic Wireless phone so it can't be taken anywhere else. Digitizer still works but this phone's screen is glued to the digitizer so it costs about $150-$200 to replace the screen assembly. Not only that but the phone is glued shut. Not sure why anyone would pay that much for a cracked screen phone but I'll take it. I guess part of the reason it might fetch that much is if you really want Republic Wireless, but don't want a Moto G ($150) and don't want to pay $300 for the 2nd gen Moto X (which just came down from $400 a couple weeks ago) since they don't sell the 1st gen anymore.
