Ebay has the same item for around $65.00 USD which includes the shipping.
... and dropping. about 1 month ago they were going for roughly 85 shipped on ebay.
Paving way for the 12 & 16 gb's I presume.
I wouldn't trust ebay on memory. Some of the memory they sell are fake and have corruption problems. Spend the extra 10 bucks and get it from a disputable dealer. If you don't believe me, just search google.

LOL - Of course you would want to buy from someone who has a lot of great feedbacks. I would stay away from sellers who don't have any or little feedback since its possible they would sell fakes.
You said "SOME" and not "ALL". It's not ebay you shouldn't trust regarding fake cards because they don't do the selling - it's the individuals you should be looking out for. If you don't know how to look for fake sellers on ebay by now you should probably stay away from buying from there to begin with and pay the extra $15 ( Prices are still dropping WOW LOL) plus the shipping for the "SAME" item.
If you don't know how to find a great deal on ebay and are afraid of running into fakes then you can prevent it by looking out for certain factors.....
If you don't believe me, just search google. LOL
I've bought from ebay and I'm a happy camper - I'm sure there are hundreds others here who have bought from ebay as well.
indeed - i have the said sandisk 8gb with card reader cost me 32GBP! bargain and from a UK dealer - great stuff! ebay is fine if you just use your brain and some common sense!

Is £120-£160 a decent price?

Hey,
I'm looking to sell my G1 (in as new condition) with its spare battery and 16gb Micro SD card but I want at least £120.
I was wondering on everyone's opinions, is £120-£160 a fair price for the G1?
I was thinking of putting it on Ebay with starting price of £120 BIN £160.
To put things in perspective.
My buddy just bought a G1 of craigslist for $110 (USD).
I got mine for $130 last year.

How much did you pay for your SGS i9000?

Did you get it with the carrier & sign a contract? or Purchased it unlocked?
Personally i got mine for $650 directly 16GB version, i hate phone carriers contracts
I've read some people seems to have paid less even without carriers.
on ebay the average price for the 16GB version is around $750
Mine is going to cost me about £500 in total on an 18 month contract with 600 mins, texts and data.
$550 shipped to the US
There already was a topic about this thing,
I payed ~390 euro (500$) for mine.
380£ for the i9000 8GB version+8GB SD card.
It's so much fun not having to pay VAT. lol.
It depends which version.
The smaller 8GB ones are in the $500-550 range nowadays.
The larger 16GB version goes for about $120-$170 more.
I paid almost $800 delivered for my 16GB
I like the larger storage, since I used to have sporadic corruption with SD cards in WM, and from what I read Android is not exempt from these, either. I want peace of mind when I am on the road and don't have a backup.
£280 all in (inclusive of VAT) with a third party seller on a really crappy contract, but I already have a contract with T-Mobile which I'm now using in the SGS. Mine is an unlocked, unbranded 8gb stock phone, so free of carrier crap too.
Dialaphone - £20pm 18mth O2 contact, downgradeable at month 9 to £15pm, plus I got £35 cashback by going through TCB. The O2 contract is really crap - 100 minutes, unlimited texts and no data allowance, but £280 for a stock SGS is damn good. They stopped doing the O2 deal earlier this week, though.
€ 380 for the 8GB version, no contract. Not paying VAT is nice.
£410 at Carphone Warehouse, SIM free and unlocked.
£355 from o2 unlocked, to get it you have to already have been with o2 for about 6 months I think and then you can ask to purchase a phone from them (i.e. say im unhappy with current phone but dont want to affect contract) this wasn't the best deal by a long way (desire £285) but i wanted this phone.
Damn, Holland is expensive.
16GB with 200minutes/400texts/unlimited data for 2 years at 650€

Ebay

Until now this is the best buy it now offer i found on ebay....it is a lot cheaper than the price sold in UK.....also looking at the prices i think if the supply is enough the price of Nexus S will drop quite quickly.

Auctions are slightly cheaper.

Because "Best" Buy has put an embargo on exports to Europe - "known freight forwarders" included. This idiotic policy leads to black market prices here.
Distribution FAIL, Google!

What do you guys think is a fair price to sell the NS on eBay for including shipping?
Don't forget about eBay and PayPal fees.

Shipping where? Next door or overseas? There might be a tiny difference.
What would be a decent markup, excluding shipping? There's little point in selling it on for a meagre $10 profit. As a buyer, I don't think I'd pay more than $50 extra, which gives $579 + shipping. What are the fees on that?

The problem is: There is no fair price because of those fees and taxes. When I get the phone for $670 (shipment incl.) on eBay, I have to pay another 19% VAT for importing the phone to Europe.
So here we are:
$529 at "Best" Buy
$700 using a "known freight forwarder" (forbidden by "Best" Buy)
$800 via eBay.
That's what I call "black market prices".

But the $529 is without taxes. Add your 19% VAT and it's $630. If you wait until it's being sold locally, the local store price would be $630 or more. Whatever you pay on top of that is for the privilege of getting the phone before it's officially for sale.
Have you seen the official UK prices?

As an Englishmen I would prefer to order this phone in U.S. anyways considering the $865(!!) they have to pay at CarPhoneMuchoExpensive.

I was thinking overseas.
eBay
Here's an example of a final value fee calculation for an auction-style listing:
You sell an item for $100.00.
Your final value fee is 9% of the final sale price, which is $9.00.
The maximum final value fee for auction-style listings is $50. For example, if you sell an item for $1,000, you’ll pay only $50, even though 9% of $1,000 is $90.
PayPal
There is a fee to send money as a personal payment using a debit card or credit card. The fee in the U.S. is 2.9% plus $0.30 USD of the amount you send. For example, if you send $100.00 USD by credit card, the fee would be $3.20 USD ($2.90 + $0.30). For personal payments, the sender can pay the fee or pass it on to the recipient. If the recipient doesn't want to pay the fee, they can choose not to accept the payment.
When you sell through ebay the seller takes on this cost which is about $19.20.
So my $579 phone would actually cost $50 just in eBay fees?

Yep, plus shipping. So that's $629.00 plus. The seller only makes around $30.00 bucks off this deal because of the $19.20 PayPal fee unless they pass the cost on to you. If that because BestBuy charges tax (Or maybe not) 6.5% here on top of the $529.
That's the cheapest I've seen one go for on eBay actually: http://cgi.ebay.com/Google-Nexus-S-...0711263301?pt=Cell_Phones&hash=item33636a9c45

Well, eBay's a bit crazy right now.
I wonder what the magic price point is, where the profit equals the fees, so that the seller receives exactly $529. Now, where's that durned spreadsheet ...

$529(phone price)+$50(eBay fee)+$19.20(PayPal fee)+$38 to $79(International shipping varies)= $628.20 to $668.20 now add taxes to that.
Lets say $650 shipped is a great deal and that's with no money being made.*

kindle fire special deals?

This is the best deal available, unless you find one for cheaper than $140 used / like new on Craig's List locally.
Your other option is Amazon sells a Factory Refurbished model that has a full like-new warranty for $180 w/ no shipping and no tax in most areas:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-list...1&sr=8-1&seller=&colid=&condition=refurbished
Walmart will cost you about $214 depending on your tax rate. You'll get a $50 gift card, so if you shop at walmart regularly, then the Kindle Costs you $164 brand new. I've seen used ones for $140 to $150 locally here. Hopefully in larger cities you could find good ones for less. $10 to $20 may not be worth buying used, but if you found one for $125 or less, that might be worth it.
