Confused in a situation,Please help me out of this............

I own a January 2013 S3 32GB white, with 2 Yrs warranty plan.

Listed it on Quikr just for the sake of it,and I wished to know the resale value of my mobile..In the hindsight,I sold my dad's S3 16GB for 16k on Quikr just a few days back!!
What surprised me was that numerous people were calling and were ready to shell out my demanded money.Here are a few details:-
1.Model-Samsung Galaxy S3 32GB with 2 Yr warranty plan.
2.Price Samsung Stores of Patna & Ranchi were quoting for BuyBack-Rs.10,000
3.Price of S4 after this buyback-Rs.31,500(this was the reason I never felt the itch to upgrade )

4.Price I quoted on Quikr-Rs.19,000 (As advised by their MSP scheme)

Currently 3 people are in line for the Handset. If I sell it for 19k and add another 9k,I can get GS4 from Flipkart.

Now comes the dilemma,What should I do.....Is GS4 worthy of the 9k additional amount at this stage,when its 1 yr old flagship......Will my GS3 with its hardware be lagfree for next 3 yrs??
I have asked a few other owners,including our friend at TDF "$hadow"-most of them have advised me against selling my GS3,but at 19k,its becoming too difficult to resist the offer.

Please Help.

If u have money & are willing to spend, S4 is a worthy upgrade over S3

S4 available @ 29k makes it irresistible, I know........ Get it !!!

Saw on the deal of the day thread that s4 is selling for 26k on ebay.

First questionepends upon your usage.If you throw some latest games or even some heavy application,you will definitely see the slowdown.And if you are a kind of person who likes to play some light games,watch some videos,surf the internet,the phone should last sometime.And if you ask me about S4 even I would suggest you to not to go for it.Simply because of of its heating and slowdown issue.If you can tolerate nexus 5 battery life and camera,its a great option

Moving from S3 to N5, you'll seriously notice the difference in battery life, even though Samsung phones drain a lot of battery while on stand by compared to N5 though

Personally I would never buy a Nexus phone again, unless Google changes some of its policies & some more optimizations are needed......

the price you are getting after selling it is quite good...but your idea of buying gs4 makes me ask a question..do you really need it???
moreover, electronics is a game of luck...suppose your s3 is in a fine condition and you sell it and buy a s4 and it turns out to be a faulty piece then...i've suffered this problem, so telling from experience....If your s3 has some faults in it then its alright to sell the device...moreover there is one more problem- i sold a galaxy grand quattro to a person...after 3 months of sale the phone got dead so he took it to service center...the bill was in my name so i started getting calls from the service center and from the person(some people are idiot)...i was unlucky but this is a rare case.
so its your choice at last...
