Just ordered a transformer from Target after finding out thru their CS that the price on line of 449.99 on Target .com is the new Mfg Sugg Retail price They were the only one with units in stock. Amazon is now asking 299.99 for the dock. Wow they are really gouging buyers. What do you guys think about this?
i wouldn't call it Amazon that's selling the dock for $299...amazon sellers maybe.

Probably so but you are directed to the Amazon site for Asus EEE Transformer dock.
MSRP increase due to popularity isn't unheard of, but I think Target is just trying to cash in.
The dock prices are from 3rd party sellers not Amazon.
If they bump the price up $50.00 - it's closer to the price of the Samsung tab retail price by only 50 bucks.
The demand might drop a bit - I know I'd consider a lighter - thinner Samsung tab - if the difference is 50 rather than 100 bucks between the two.
I just ordered a 16gb from Sears for 389 or something around there

I was actually going to hold off on the TF even with the $100 difference. What changed? The reviews of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 LE (given free at I/O) pointed out that their wifi-only unit did not have a microSD slot. They concluded that the regular black model would be the same and only the 3G models would come with it. That plus no HDMI support was an absolute deal-breaker.
They also pointed out that their units came with Tegra 2 and not Sammy's latest (as seen on Galaxy SII). It would make sense for the production versions to follow suit as well.
2nd hands 16GB w/3G (most common) are going for an average of 350-450 (mint) incl shipping
if the seller has a paypal account that usually raises the selling price by about 50 euro. extra sleeves and SD cards also push the the price higher by 20-30 euro
(samples collected over 8 weeks, 29 sales tracked)
prices in the US seem lower
any one got an idea of that's a good resale value in europe?
considering that the cheapest you can get a 16GB w/3G and pen is 522 euro ?
I'll try to keep track of this...
And how is this development? Thread moved.
I got mine on eBay for 420€ incl Shipping
I just got mine off eBay US. Paid $405 for a 32 GB with keyboard folio and dock.
I was tracking a 64gb Thinkpad on ebay and was this >< to getting it today but at the last minute I got called by my boss and didn't update the bid amount and got outbid. it came out to be 423 USD.
Would have been sweet. Oh well.
-----------------------------------------------
Edit: Dec 19th,
Well its official, I've joined the Thinkpad tablet family.
Although I missed out on the 64GB deal mentioned above, I kept tracking other offers and there was one on ebay for a 32GB Thinkpad with keyboard folio, dock and stylus. All for $425. Considering that if I had bought it on Lenono it would have costed me $759 I think its a steal.
It should get to me by this Friday. I can't hardly wait.

Best Buy:

Futureshop:

Its not in the boxing day flyer, but I stumbled accross it. Its also at futureshop for $49.99.
Plus free shipping from both.
Both futureshop and best buy offer a lowest price gaurentee. Although the gaurentee states that they wont beat boxing day sales, it could be argued that its not a boxing day sale since its not in the flyer. Wait until the futureshop sale is over and the price goes back to 129.99. Then if you make enough of a fuss in store you may be able to get it for $36. (beat the advertized price by 10% of the difference)
I just thought that a thread dedicated to finding a great deal on this amazing tablet during the upcoming shopping season would be helpful.
I recently missed an opportunity to get the 32GB version for $349 plus tax, and the 16GB version for $399 plus tax. I would've jumped all over these deals, but I was too late... I figured a central location for people to report deals would be helpful to all! I can't wait to get my hands on mine.
So far the only deal I've seen is HH Gregg selling for $449 on Black Friday (16GB). I'm really hoping to get it for $399. I'm crossing my fingers that Amazon drops in to that price to best the competition.
I can't wait to join the community here!
Update: Best deal is at Amazon for $449 (one-day free shipping with Discover card, plus 5% cash back!).

I also read abt $399 deals but I guess they were fake. I really couldnt find it on B**tB*y or the other store. I finally bought one from A**zon for $604.99. It is 3G+WiFi 16GB.
Keep checking this thread on SlickDeals.net; it's continually updated. So far there are a lot of deal on the G-Tab 2 but not the Note. MacMall has the 16GB Note for $419.99 and the 32GB for $469.99 with free shipping (2-day if you belong to ShopRunner).

They weren't fake - it was a glitch on Toys-R-Us' website. They quickly shut that down. It was a deal that was supposed to exclude tablets, but when you added it to your cart it still applied the discount.
Also, the other deal was an error as well. Fry's meant to post a one day sale on the Tab 2, and instead posted a one day sale on the Note. So you could get the 32GB version for $349 through price matching at BB that day.
@barry - thanks! That's the best deal I've seen so far!

Good catch! Amazon does too, plus one day shipping free if you have a Discover card. Also you get 5% cash back if you use Discover, so that sort of lowers the price to around $425-ish, shipped. This will easily beat Mac Mall's $419 + tax! I may snag one now... Black Friday pricing doesn't seem to be much better from what I'm seeing.
Anyone suspect a better deal will be lurking out there before BF?
Black friday week at amazon

Black Friday supposedly holds no surprise for Galaxy Note 10.1, but I got mine just last week for $350 + ~$30ish tax. Price matched a typo'd Fry's ad at Best Buy.

Bought one from Currys in the UK (note N8010)
Got them to pricematch another retailer bringing it down to
£312.90
They have an extra £30 rebate off when you buy any case (this is on top of Samsungs £50 rebate offer)
Purchased this for £12.99
Got cash back from a cash back site (topcashback) this confirmed at £9.19
Purchased on my credit card that gives 1% cashback £3.13
This makes me either very lucky or very sad but total sale price including the case will be £233.57 (aprox $375 including all taxes)
For those in the US, just saw white Galaxy Note 10.1 16GB at Costco for $429.
Unfortunately with tax the Costco deal is more expensive than most online retailers. NewEgg, Frys, Amazon, and Macmall have the 16GB for 449.99 and the 32GB for 499.99. I'm waiting for a better deal..

Yeah as if California doesn't get enough tax money out of you.. I'm waiting for 449.99 for the 32 gig.
Best buy has a 25 dollar discount or rebate when ordering online to instore pickup. That makes the 16ngig 425 and 32 gig 475.

For we Canadians:
Future Shop and Best Buy have the 32GB N8010 on sale for $449.99 ($50 off) until Nov. 29th.
--- edit ---
On a related note, for those who already own their Note and bought it at Future Shop, FS has extended their price protection on anything purchased on or after Nov. 2 to extend to the Jan. 6th (rather than being only 30 days of price protection). I got my $50 back yesterday. Just had to go into the store with my receipt, and have the credit card I used to make the purchase originally.

$449.00(32g) @ "Staples/Bureau En Gros" too and we had a $50.00 coupon good for 3 days (Black Friday Week-End) = $399.00
Staples in canada also has the 32gb for 449. I'm signed up for their newsletter and I got a 50 off coupon on purchases over 400 so I got the Note for 399 over the weekend.

It is £25 cheaper at John Lewis but I agree. Paying far more in the UK even when you take VAT into account plus no perks. That's any extra kick in the wallet as the play credit etc would sway the purchase for me.... I am seriously considering picking one up off ebay (approx £400 for the 16gb and £450 for 32 Gb. There is a post lower down with the ebay sellers details and it was shipped by expedited shipping.
I may even use a VPN service and cash in the perks. It is a global market these days and samsung should treat all consumers the same.
