Nexus Ones, selling for $650+ ON EBAY!?

Why are people purchasing Nexus ones for $650 on ebay when they could be purchasing it straight from google for $530?
Why are people doing this?
Is it out of sheer idiocracy?
Do they not realize where the sellers are getting these phone?
It's making me want to buy one from Google just to resell on ebay to make a $100 profit!

A fool and their money are easily parted.

Look at this,
it sold for almost $4k. I cannot believe this is real.
cgi .ebay .com /ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200431495643
(remove spaces)

some of the bids are fake just to raise the price up to tempt buyers.

Mostly for customers in countries where Google isn't shipping to yet and for others without a credit card.
If you want to risk shipping a phone to Nigeria , go for it.

Be careful, a lot of scams going on especially in Nigeria!

FTFY.
And yes, I think some may be.. but as people said, probably a lot of scams, or people ordering overseas where Google isn't shipping yet...

Google is not shipping it where I live or study (Turkey/Bulgaria), so I bought one from eBay for $599.9 and I am happy with it. I am sure that there is so many "idiots" like me living on mother earth.

according to the description, a lot of 5 (phones) were sold for about $750.00 each, totaling $3.8K. still a fairly steep price to pay.

I got mine for $760AUD ($680USD at the time) shipped via FedEx Express, from an eBay seller - simply because Google weren't accepting orders from Australia. Was happy to pay that much for a phone that wasn't even officially shipping to Aus yet - and I absoluetly love my phone.

Got mine for 599$, i think it's a fair price, since i cant buy it in Albania. I gambled a little with marking the shipment as 99$ so i didnt have to pay taxes.

Remember its not actually $530 from google. Its $530 plus vat and/or duty.
That means a phone to the UK for example would be $530 * 1.175 = $622.
If u then resold that phone to someone in europe u'd only be making about $30 for the trouble, minus shipping, exchange rate, paypal/ebay fees and taking a chance that his payment doesnt get retracted.
Even if you ship it to the US and reship you still need to add sales tax, and more expensive shipping. In actual fact $650 isnt too bad a price at all. Anything more is kinda stupid, especially considering how many peole are doing it now.
Having said that, ff you cant get it shipped to youre country you're better off using something like demailbox.com
They give you a virtual mailbox in the US, and reship it to you. Since they're based in delaware there's no US tax in that state, and free shipping to them because its in the US. That means you only pay the google price + reshipping to your country + the demailbox fee.

Got $100 rebate, but I paid full price for my phone $530.

I am pretty sure you dont get the rebate unless you get a 1 or 2 year contract with the phone. I submitted my rebate through the verizon online rebate center and mailed away with my verizon receipt from my online purchase and the rebate form I printed online.
Was this a fluke on verizon's behalf since I paid $530 for mine and not a new contract or extension? I mailed my rebate last week and got it today. $100 rebate card!

thats not sure. u can get the mail in rebate with full price. also i ordered mine from customer service over the phone and i still got a mail in rebate form, im pretty sure I can get that also, which they gave me the instant discount already

Wait I am thinking about getting switching to Incredible from the Eris for a few reason, but is this really true? Because, at 430 plus tax that is cheaper than going the ebay route. What can the rebated card be used for, can it be just used for cash?

if you are anywhere over 12 months into your plan you can upgrade to a new 2 year plan and only pay a $20 early upgrade fee... making the phone $220 .. U upgraded my secondary line for the incredible and they keep sending me emails for an extra 50 off of another incredible to upgrade my main account early... making it $150... if you wait verizon will send you some discount soon... especially if you are a long term customer.... I'm 9 years with VZW and finally I have a phone I'm not ashamed to own

The rebate applies regardless of the price you paid. The only way it doesn't apply is if you received an instant rebate at the time of purchase. I too, paid full retail, and got my debit card yesterday. Bringing the total cost of my Incredible, after I sold my Moto Droid and accessories, to $64.00.

Where would have it the lowest price eligible for the rebate?

I could of sworn the fine print said it was only applicable to people who got a 1 or 2 year contract, not people who paid full price. When I ordered the phone full price it did not show any discount available like it does with the 1 or 2 year contract, it shows price after rebate...

That's right, because when you re-up, or do a new contract, they give you the rebate instantly. When you go the full retail route, you have to mail it in.

I also paid full price for mine 529.00 at Best Buy and they would not give me any rebate, instant or mail in. You would think paying full price they would cut us some slack

Wow thanks for the info. I had no idea I could qualify for any rebates, but mine's on it's way right now. That extra $100 will be useful for a proper battery/charger/AF that this phone shoulda been stock with!

To find out if you are eligible for a rebate, simply go here, https://www.yourwirelessrebatecenter.com/promocenter/verizonwireless/promo_search.html, and fill in the required information.

The rebate only applies to 1/2yr contracts, so if you received a rebate and paid full retail then you lucked out. The *instant* rebate only applies online, telesales (if you tell them your are having errors ordering online), or sometimes indirect stores, other wise if your order at direct store or through customer service by phone, you would recieve a *mail* in rebate. Exceptions can be made depending on the situation.

All I know is, I paid $529 for my Incredible, ordered on the VZW website, did not extend my contract, sent in the rebate, and got my $100. If people aren't interested in $100, then so be it.

I was just clarifying the policy. I'm not sure why it's being included but that's a good thing! I recieved mine for $100 after the instant rebate and NE2 of $100

Yep I just sent mine in too, sold my TP2 for $300, getting this $100 back. Overall price for the Incredible - $164. I can be happy with that lol

i must have way over paid phone after tax was 620 last one they had in stock in Vegas was on vacation and won enough to buy one now need to sell xv6800 maybe get 100 for that then total would be 420 but i won 700 of 50 dollars so win win.

Thank you guys SO MUCH for posting about this! I also paid full retail for my phone, $530 + tax, with NO contract extension, and asked the store reps specifically if I was eligible for the $100 mail in rebate, to which they said NO, and even on my receipt "(Rebate NOT Elligible)". Why I ever listen to those clowns, I do not know... they also said I was not eligible for the free 2gb memory card... eh no big loss there but still I wonder.
Anyways, I followed the link and found that I AM eligible for the $100 rebate, got the form right from that link after filling in some basic info, and will mail it off tomorrow with my UPC and copy of my receipt. I don't forsee any issue with getting my $100 card
You guys made my day, and my wife's day as well . I also was lucky enough to sell my Touch Pro 2 to a coworker for $300, plus this $100, brings my total out of pocket to ~$150... Very nice indeed for a new phone after only 6 mos!

So anyone get their rebates yet since I posted this topic?

Wirefly, no activation fee, 8/23 only.

For the rest of the day you get no activation fee ($36) when you buy the Epic 4G.
They only charge $239 for the phone to begin with. Given that I live in CA my savings were:
Tax: $28
Activation Fee: $36
Discount: $10
Total: $74 saved
Also I am not sure if I will get it but entering code WIREFLYBLUE22 should give you a free Bluetooth headset. People are reporting a 83% success rate on the site I found the code listed.

Sprint always waives my activation fees.

newegg has had the same deal for awhile. This is not a one day deal.
http://www.cellstores.com/eCommerce...0870084193878cbced469d179d&showcustblock=true
and if you order online from sprint, they give you free shipping and activation too

I think amazon.com has an activation fee, but they have the epic 4g for $200 now.

the only good thing i see on wirefly is the MIR(or at least they say about it), with sprint you still gotta go thru that annoying process.

anybody know if you can use wirefly to UPGRADE your phone?
Im due for an upgrade with Sprint, but i want to get this price from wirefly.

Yea, from what i can tell its the same price if you are renewing your contract. 239.99.......... I didnt see anything about the activation fee though. Check it out http://www.wirefly.com/eCommerce/ph...lag=&zipcode=&refcode1=&refcode2=&eid=&agent=

what should I expect on the release date if I get my phone from sprint? 349.00 then 100.00 MIR? I'm trying to conclude if the wirefly way is a smarter way to go.

Yup, thats going to be your out the door price. You could always try Best Buy or radio Shack to get the instant rebate at the counter

Tax with sprint or any other store at that will charge tax off of the base price not the discounted price I believe, thats over 40 bucks in CA.
So look for no taxes, if you are worried about that.

I bit the bullet with Wirefly. My advice for anyone else considering this option is make sure you understand exactly what they are doing with your Sprint account. Somehow the call center ppl put the wrong plan after I had told them many many times how I wasn't looking to change the plans on my account at all.
Has anyone else had good experiences with this company? They seem like a lot of frustration

Wirefly is sketch. They have this bull**** 6 month rule when you cancel your new contract within 6 months with any of the carriers, then they bill you $300 for "equipment recovery fee". So, for Verizon, I got hit with $375 from Verizon for ETF and $300 from Wirefly for a ****ing Droid 1 that I bought for $189. Do the math. They ****ing tried to rape me. AND, on top of that, they charged $300 to the same debit card I used to do the original transaction about EIGHT MONTHS after I originally did business with Wirefly. They did that illegally without my permission. They had paper billed me for it and I was telling myself "no way they're getting $300 when the phone was only worth $449".. then a $300 charge from "Simplexity" shows up on my bank statement.
Hate Wirefly. And, their "discounts" aren't even ****ing discounts. $10 off a phone? Give me a break.

I got the phone from Wirefly. I knew going into it the 6 month rule and I do not plan on making any changes or cancelling in that time. Also they have a 30 day satisfaction guarantee, so I can return in 30 days without issue.
I know they have a bad rep, but here is why I got it from them anyway.
No tax in California
Amazon only does new contracts
A free bluetooth headset(see OP)
Ships on the 31st
No rebate to deal with, $239.99 was exactly what they charged.
No activation fee.

I'm not sure how long it will take, they had a overnight, 2 day, and free shipping options. I went with free. I did notice Amazon says "Ships in 7-8 days" so they are not even shipping on the 31st.

Good luck everyone who went this route. I chickened out and decided to not go with wirefly. I'm glad I didn't, they are sketch and I don't like dealing with online chats and outsourced call centers for "customer support"

Pretty nice feature.
Great News! We received authorization to begin shipping the new Samsung Epic for all approved orders beginning tomorrow, August 31. Please continue to check your email and our online Customer Support site for updated information.

[Q] Best Buy - Sales Tax

I'm not sure how sales tax works in the USA, but with Best Buy do you pay the same sales tax in store and online (for pickup at that store)? The store I am thinking of is EVERETT MA, 162 SANTILLI HWY.

Yes. It'll be the same tax either way
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Sales tax is the precise reason (or at least large part) why I decided to purchase my 32GB grey GT10.1 from Amazon and not Best Buy. Well, in full disclosure I decided to take my business to Amazon because I purchased a presale on the GT10.1 from Best Buy and the store GM guarenteed me I would have it on June 17. Low and behold come June 17 at around 7:00p I walked in to pick it up and they said "ooops, sorry but we do not have it yet and no, we have no way of telling when they will arrive." (Okay, I'm done ranting now).
Anyways I decided to go with Amazon because there was no sales tax and they guarenteed I would get it in 1 day with the 1 day shipping option. Sure enough my GT10.1 arrived 1 day later and the beauty of it is, the fastest shipping option from Amazon (1 day) was HALF the price of the sales tax I would have paid at Best Buy. Sales tax would have racked out at $45.43 and the 1 day shipping option from Amazon was $19.
Simple math, simple decision. That and I would MUCH rather give my business to a company that will actually follow through on their promise. Thank you Amazon.

I would rather pay the sales tax which in this case is $37.50 as I have the option of returning it to the store if there is anything wrong with it. The tablet is being brought back to the UK for me next week so I need the quick turn around, rather than having to post it back to Amazon etc.

Yeah, tax is the reason I ordered mine online...of course, I'm sitting here without my Tab right now because I had to return it and get another one.

I just spoke to Best Buy in the USA, and apparently they have international warranty, so their UK branches will cover any devices that go wrong. I wonder if this is actually true...

Hello everyone. I'm about to buy the galaxy tab and was also deciding to pay the Best Buy tax or not. I noticed everyone said they didn't pay tax on Amazon but I am being charged $44. Could this be because I live in NYC? I noticed Newegg doesn't charge tax. Has anyone purchased their tab from them? Thanks
Edit: Nevermind, I just googled Amazon's tax page and NY is subject to tax. Guess I'll buy it in Best Buy.

Err, better read the fine print on that "supposed" international warranty, as there's nowhere it stipulates that you can walk into a bestbuy say in the U.K or BestBuy Canada for example and they'll service it. Doesn't work that way.
The so called international warranty the sales person is salivating to sell you (also known as Geek Squad Black Tie Protection, GSBTP) is a REIMBURSEMENT PLAN, insured by an insurance company. YOU Re responsible for having it repaired at your cost and then contacting a 1-800-number to file a claim. Either mail or fax your paperwork over and you are then REIMBURSED for "qualified" repairs. Accidental or physical damages are not available for "international plans", so even if you're suckered into buying the plan, at least don't let them upsell you on the extra accidental damage protection.
How do I know all this? Used to work there at a store located in a high tourist area and used to weep inside at the foreigners suckered into "international warranties" that were all but useless, even on some products that CAME with worldwide warranties like some Asus laptops, Olympus and Casio cameras and so forth. I still know all the tricks and trade secrets.
Sad really.

I think this should help you decide. This is from Amazon Q&A.
The amount of tax charged depends upon many factors, including the identity of the seller, the type of item purchased, and the destination of the shipment.
Items sold by Amazon.com LLC, or its subsidiaries, and shipped to destinations in the states of Kansas, Kentucky, New York, North Dakota, or Washington are subject to tax.
For sales tax purposes, electronically delivered products (e-books, e-documents, and electronically delivered software) are considered to be shipped to your credit card billing address.
No sales tax is charged when purchasing gift cards; however, purchases paid for with gift cards may be subject to tax.

Let me help you out a bit. If a store/retailer has a physical presence in a state it must charge sales tax so since best buy/ walmart etc have physical stores and shipping facilities in almost every state they have to charge sales tax online and at the store. With this rule online stores like newegg and amazon get away with not charging tax in states other then the ones they operate in. For example amazon has a large shipping and distribution center in Kentucky so it must charge taxes in that state.

$30 coupon code for Nexus 7 (2013) right now!

I didn't see this posted so I figured I would share. I wasn't even planning to upgrade but after seeing the free shipping and $30 off coupon code through Staples, I really couldn't resist. Especially since I have a buyer lined up to purchase my 2012 Nexus 7 for $140 this weekend. :highfive:
http://www.droid-life.com/2013/07/2...exus-7-through-staples-with-this-coupon-code/
Coupon code: 41178
Not sure how long they'll have this offer up but it worked for me.

just walked into a staples near by and used the online staples coupon, printed out.
http://www.staples.com/coupons
bought the 16 gig for $199.
tell the employee to use the online code: 41178
you need to print out the coupon and bring it in store. doing unboxing now.
expires 7/28, go get it!

If you anyone of you were impatient like I was and bought it at Best Buy, you can have them price match it. I had to call in a couple times, first rep lied to me and told me they don't do pricematch of item after purchase only during. Here's their policy http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Payment...ee/pcmcat297300050000.c?id=pcmcat297300050000

Just arrived at my Staples and they only have the 16gb version. Oh well.

I bought mine at Best Buy this morning. I called them to ask if they would match the Staples price, they said only if it's an in store price, I told them it was a coupon discount and they said definitely not. I'm not sure how the other guy above got away with that, it's literally in their pricematch guarantee that they will not match coupon prices. Anyway, Best Buy will allow you to return your item for free, even if it's opened and you can return it to any Best Buy store if you ordered it online. What I'm going to do is buy the Staples one and not open it and return it to Best Buy. Hopefully they won't match the serial number on the box. If they do, then I'll return the opened one, no big deal.
Edit: Oh well, Staples site says they're out of stock online, both models.
Edit 2: Called the store near me, they don't even carry the new model yet, they only have the old one. Other Staples in the area all seem to have the 16GB in stock, no 32GB, so I called them. They said they had only one in stock that was "on hold for a customer, but If I wanted to buy a protection plan for it, they would hold it for me instead"... Sounds real shady. Anyway, in case anyone's wondering, the online code (which is 41178) will work until this Sunday (7/28), but apparently the code 35852 will work in store if you ask the cashier to try it for you.

16gb at the local Staples, with coupon, $199 out the door. :good:

Thank you so much for posting this I rode as quick as I could to staples to pick mine up!
And I was going to wait for my 1 day shipping, Ain't nobody got time for that!!

Hrmm are they're contradicting themselves? Because if you scroll down to the FAQs
How do I request a price match from BestBuy.com?
When making a purchase, or during the return and exchange period after your purchase from BestBuy.com, price match requests from BestBuy.com are handled via phone. Please call 1-888-BEST BUY (1-888-237-8289) for a BestBuy.com price match request. Please tell us about the lower price that is still in effect that you want Best Buy to price match. Best Buy will then review and verify the price match request.
Edit: I guess that only applies to pricematching themselves.

You have 15 days to get the price matched post purchase, "We will also match prices post purchase if we lower our price within 15 days of your purchase." But you still did get lucky because it says "The Guarantee is limited to one price match per identical item, per guest and does not apply to: ... coupon offers, ..."
Edit: Yeah, looked at that wording, it does say "if we lower our price within 15 days of your purchase."
Edit 2: Apparently the code doesn't work in store. Just called a Staples store near me and I asked if they had any in stock, before I even said anything about the coupon, the guy said "If you have the coupon for $30 off, it doesn't work for the new tablet, only the old ones" and that he just tried it numerous times for a customer. Oh well, hopefully they'll get more in stock online, or maybe they didn't realize the coupon was working for the new Nexus 7 and it wasn't supposed to be and they finally fixed it.

Damn sold out

insane deal! already got mine at best buy since I thought it was a mistake didn't think Staples would be selling them as well.

To clear up BB price match.
1. They only price match against other stores at the time of purchase. Post purchase price matches apply only to a lower BB price.
2. They do not price match coupons.
Bummer...

I didn't see this posted so I figured I would share. I wasn't even planning to upgrade but after seeing the free shipping and $30 off coupon code through Staples, I really couldn't resist. Especially since I have a buyer lined up to purchase my 2012 Nexus 7 for $140 this weekend. :highfive:

Coupon code: 41178
Not sure how long they'll have this offer up but it worked for me.

Hey,what is this coupon code for?Please let me know bcz I plan on buying one thank you

My local BB did price match the coupon (local staples only had the 16gb, I wanted the 32). Still stuck paying tax versus amazon, but out the door at 254.39 for the 32.

That was my out the door price for the 16GB. Essentially got 16GB free! Congrats!

I'm curious if they can still reject my pricematch, they told me it will be sent to credit department or something. I asked for a confirmation number and was given a case number.

huh, I think best bet would be to go to a local store and hold the coupon over there head. Chances are the Manager would match it to get your business. Online there is prolly less leeway

ordered from amazon, saw this deal, went to staples, they didint accept coupon, canceled amazon, bought at staples anyway...
went to a different staples about 15 min ago with my recipt and showed the coupon..... gave my 32$ back
im happy

They stopped the 30 bucks coupon for new nexus. Old nexus still works! They also are canceling online orders for people who used the 30 coupon.
