During the past few months, the Android-powered "BlackBerry Priv"humped around with a price cut, and the device is now available for only $299.99.

At one point, the Android powered smartphone was available for $400 and markdown for $380. However, the Android-powered smartphone can now be purchased at a lower price for a limited period of time.

EBay has marked the "BlackBerry Priv" for only $299.99. On the other hand, the official store of BlackBerry is offering the same handset for $549 - which means consumers can save $249.01 with this promotional offer, IB Times reported.

The GSM unlocked "BlackBerry Priv" is linked to the model number "STV100-1," works under the wireless service provider - AT&T network. Only the black "BlackBerry Priv" among the variant is available at discount and the gadget supports 4G LTE, aside from other standard connectivity options.

As always, within the United States, after the buyer placed their order, eBay will shoulder the shipping service. As of today, 1,943 units of BlackBerry Priv discounted prices have been sold. The prominent seller Quality Cellz (import/export company) has about 99.1% positive rating on eBay.

However, no definite date the eBay seller said when the sale ends, GSM Arena reported.

The "BlackBerry Priv" might not have been sufficient to pull the telecommunications company out of the downward slump - but "BlackBerry Priv" is still a unique and an extremely impressive gadget, Android Authority reported.
