Wtf Nexus one worth 270 dollars?

So, I just sold my baby to my mom because I am leaving for the Navy in January. I'm still using the phone until I leave, but I sold it for a cool 150. I thought it was a fair price. However, I just came across this site called buymytronics and their site says the phone is worth $270! I checked the price on both the HTC HD2 and the 16 GB Iphone 3G, both only fetch about 120 in flawless condition.
I know Nexus's(Nexi?) are sort of a collector's item now that they are discontinued and only around 130,000 sold in the US(Pcworld article is my source). I just thought it as kinda interesting that some random site is willing to pay 270 for a phone when others of similar spec and much more popular are going for less than half of that. I almost want to contact the people that the site and ask WTF is up with that.
Oh, well I guess we can all revile in the fact that we have the the phone with the best resale value on the market However, if you are looking to upgrade, that Nexus S looks pretty sick, now might be the time to sell it to this stupid site.
Btw, I know multiple people who have sold electronics on this site, so it's not some cheetos covered nerd in his basement BSing all of us.

Which version was it..T-Mobile or ATT? You can still get the Tmo version by being a developer I'm pretty sure. Not sure where you can still get a New N1 with ATT bands though. That may increase its value?

I had to hunt down my 3 N1s I recently got and spent around $350 each and thats considered a great price. Mine were in brand new condition, with no scratch or mark anywhere. 1 of them has some dust on the bottom of the screen. Ebay sellers with good feedback get $380+ on mint condition tmo n1s, $400+ for att versions.

I sold mine last week for $500 AUD ($502.25 USD) and was the T-mobile model.
Not bad considering I paid $600 AUD for it 6 months ago. They are holding their dollar value really well in Australia.

i bought mine off someone on CL locally about 3 weeks ago for 300 with the box and all accessories, it was in good condition but had been dropped once and has a few dings from the fall as well as a small scratch on the screen. it was a screaming deal for sure. most people want at least 350 if not more. most t-mobile ones on ebay sell for around 400 and broken ones will sell for anywhere from 100-200+ dollars (i know i bought and resold a broken one hoping to fix it but ended up finding the one i got now for 300)

It doesn't specify which carrier it is. It just pops up the HTC Google Nexus One. I tried searching for a T-Mobile Nexus One no luck same listing.

That's crazy. Mine is in mint condition. I have never dropped it on a hard surface; carpeted only and that was only a couple of times. I guess my mom got a killer deal. I told her she needs to take care of it. If Nexus phones keep value you never know I might make money off of it one day. I will probably buy it back from my mom once I get back from RTC because I will have a ton a money and nothing to do with it.

i just paid $400 on ebay for my att n1, mint condition with CM6.0 and root already loaded up... i considered that a great deal, since i had been seeing plenty of att n1's goin for $450-500.
these are great phones, and that guy got a steal even for a tmob version.

Never sell your nexus one. It was the beginning of an era. It belongs in a museum.

I am just wondering wht you would call it a "stupid site" seems to me it is a site that knows what it is doing!

haha this thread is pretty interesting. Idk how much my rooted running CM6 would cost. been dropped a few time and there is one small scratch on the bottom. overall it's great though. especially i take care of the screen even though the multi-touch is crappy as hell but just a small problem. I paid $30 for a piece of sticky plastic made by zigg to cover it. but all the deals you guys been saying would probably be half of my nexus two. only if the nexus two will rock my face like my baby N1 did. otherwise I'm keeping it.

oh yeah thumbs up for the Google Museum

The funny thing is it is a stupid site. They will pay me a whole 47 or something odd dollars for my mint condition Nook. I freaking paid 185 for that new. I paid 550 for my Nexus and they will give me half that. Roughly, they are willing to pay 20 percent more on the dollar for my Nexus than my Nook even though the Nook is in better shape and has less wear. Also, the suckers that out right bought an Iphone, or even signed a two year contract, get only 120 for their phone. I just wish I had more obscure tech than this site is willing to buy for top dollar.
I like the idea of a Google museum. I had a G1, one of my brother's friends has a Cliq, my old boss has a MT3G. Most of those are antiques by now. I say we start tomorrow lol

Hell, I needed the money. I sell all my old tech to my family. I figure I can keep tabs on my family's tech needs better if I already know how to run it all. I'm the only tech savvy one in a family of 12, so there is a lot to do. So, I cut operating costs, opps I meant time lol, by letting them use the stuff I already had fun with. My Zune 32 Gb is going to my dad, and my computer is going to my sister when I leave in January for the Navy. Now they can call me any where in the world and I will understand what the hell they are going through. Although I really wish they didn't. I'll probably running a nuclear reactor or something when my mom calls to whine about how the touch screen is going out of wack on my old phone.

Well does anyone have one that they want to sell cause I would like to buy

never sell! You can't even get the ATT version any more can you?
This is honestly the first phone I've EVER owned that is COMPLETELY scratch-less almost a year after purchase... that's taking absolutely NO special care of it either... I treat this thing like it's a set of car keys and FLAWLESS even today. That's the majority of the incentive for me hanging on to it for so long and not jumping to another phone... prior to this I was changing phones 3-4 times a year all 500+ a pop.

I could probably convince my mom to sell you mine. However, the price just went up 250 dollars. lol!

Wow, I got lucky and sold mine for a cool $560 two days ago. phew

#[email protected]%@! price drop

For anyone still on the fence, Walmart has dropped the price to $569. If I had only waited one more week, that would have been like getting a free case or something.
http://www.walmart.com/ip/Motorola-...droid-3.0-Honeycomb-Operating-System/16504669
BTW...my local store is still $599, so this might just be an online only price.

You can hardly complain, the £579.99GB I paid for my 3G XOOM in the UK was equivalent to $940US, by the time I got a case and a dock, theres a G right there.

Sure I can. I can whine and cry all I want. After all, isn't that what prompted XXXX to release an update?!?!

I paid £475 for the wifi one too

Did you NOT expect the price to drop at some point? You ALWAYS pay to be an early adopter. I bought my Vibrant on day one and two months later I could have saved $100 or could have got a two-for-one deal and not stuck my wife with a 3G Slide. Hindsite is always 20/20.

Yes I did. I've been around long enough to know it happens and that the rules state, "Effective the day after it is too late for you to do anything about it the price will drop or we will introduce a newer and better product." In case you didn't pick up on it though, my post is mostly sarcastic smarta$$. But it was also there to inform anyone of the deal that hasn't purchased one yet.

Amazon's Price Dropped too
It looks like Amazon's price dropped too in case anyone was wondering.
Though, it might not be as grand as other stores.

Is the Xoom really worth buying right now? I love the sound from the unit but...

The unit itself has been on the market since February and its had its shortcomings...
It seems whenever I go to the store to play with tablets they all have their faults...however, the Xoom just feels like a real slate (great build quality)
My gf got me a Toshiba Thrive for my birthday. I didnt do any research before (testing them out in person) and I was really unimpressed with the build quality so we returned it.
Asus Transformer has great screen and decent build quality, but the sound is TERRIBLE. The IdeaPad was pretty nice as well - but the display was dimmer then the Xoom and its build quality was so so (lots of flex in a tablet - no go for me)
My real struggle is that the Xoom is still $499. It really is worth more like $449 and at that price I would get one.
Thoughts? Opinions? Please share.

You get what you pay for. If you want an android tablet, the xoom is still the standard. If you can wait until the fall there should be more options.

Shop around. They are turning up for $399 from time to time in some places.

I just bought one a week ago. It is one of the best purchases I made. Price is always gonna be an issue because if all the tablets drop in price you'restill gonna be asking whether its worth the extra money. I love my Xoom... if I had had $800 when they first came out I would have found it worth it then.

Yes, for my money, it's also the best tech investment I've made in years.

Thanks for the replies so far guys!
Ultimately these tablets will always be getting better - like cell phones.
But after a year or two im sure I can get something else if I really wanted it. At work I have an IPad 2 just for document purposes and display presentations and I dont like it at all.
Just wanted to see where everyone stands and if they are happy with the purchase...you do get what you pay for and the Xoom seems to have fantastic build quality with no flex.

I paid $399 for mine and I love it. I would deffinetly consider worth it for another $100 if you cant find it for that. I love it more than any device I own, including my phone. I even have my texts forwarded via bluetooth to my Xoom and use it for texting. I'm a student working part time minimum wage retail job so I don't have much money, yet I still don't regret dishing out the $400 for it.
Cheers!

I picked mine up for $399 refurbished from woot and I love it. As others have mentioned, there have been a few places to have them new for that price, but I would definitely be willing to pay the extra $100 if there's not a place to find it for $400. I was always a little skeptical about how useful a tablet could be but the techie in me took over and I kind of impulse bought it when it showed up on woot. I have to say that I'm very glad I made the purchase. I've been using it a lot more than I anticipated and I love it. I prefer the design and feel of the Xoom more than the other available tablets and from what I've seen, it has the best development so far. Though it's only been about 1 month or 2, I'd still pick the Xoom over any other tablet available.
The biggest question would come down to whether or not you think you'd use a tablet. If you think you'd use it, then I'd definitely recommend it, even at the $500 price tag.

Still you can get one on ebay for like 250-300 if you don't want to pay 400-500$.

i got mine 10 days ago from amazon for $429, a new wifi one, not used or refurbished...plenty are available for $440-$450...3g models r a lil higher...+$50-$60...but ask urself do you realy need a 3g model...i personally dont mis it...i hav a dell streak 5 as a phone n do wifi tethering wen i need to...i got a belkin slim folio, zagg shield n alupen stylus from amazon itself...altogether cost me about $495...i consider it to b a snag....m in india, n here the xooms market price is still $700 so i got a steal...my fiance's in the US rite now so i just asked her to get me one... seriously i promise you, you wont regret it...its still the best... just go with xda n no galaxy tabs 10.1 or otherwise or even ipad2 comes close to it... i'm a happy camper...

What I also forgot to mention...
My GF bought me a Thrive and we returned it. Build quality was subpar - not stylish nor ergonomic at all.
NO Development community, although the tablet is new and that is to be expected.
Xoom seems to have custom ROMS and Kernels - although Im more of a purist anyway (AOSP on Phone) So I would probably be more interested in Kernel Dev than anything else.

I paid 750 for mine when it first came out. I'm happy with my purchase. Custom kernals and mods make it even better...and yeah,I could've waited and paid less...what's the fun in that?

I picked up a Xoom from Newegg last Thursday and I must say this thing is awesome. Newegg is currently selling them for $479 with free shipping and a $40 Newegg giftcard.

Im gonna buy a xoom I just cant decide on if I should get the wifi only or with the 3g ?
I thought it would be good to have just incase im in a area with no wifi
PS I was at Best Buy and there was a older lady playing with the tablets and got so frustrated and tossed her hands up in the air and said screw this I cant figure these things out

yes its worth it.
i started with a gtablet just to see if i would use it. wound up using it more than my desktop or notebook. i used the gtab for about 3-4 months
the screen on the gtablet is horrible. so i decided to buy a hc tablet with a better screen. my first choice was the acer iconia onsale at target. after 2 swapouts due to faulty hardware i bit the bullet and got the xoom. that was a week ago.
it blows any other tablet i tried out the water. i so do not regret it.

If you have an android phone you may be able to bluetooth tether it to your xoom.
If you google "xoom tether droid" there's a how to several results down from androidcentral (since I can't link)

Android phones with Gingerbread installed support WiFi Hotspot tethering. You can turn your phone in an access point for your Xoom tablet.

lol I actually did , she couldn't get the keyboard to pop up, I dunno if she bought the xoom, but last year I helped a lady buy a Toshiba laptop and I dont even work at best buy
don't think the sales man was happy I talked her out of having the geek squad making her back up disks for a extra 75 bucks ... I thought that was ridiculous of best buy to rip people off like that so i wrote down the instructions for her on how to do it her self for nothing lol

[Q] Will Best Buy carry Nexus 10?

I am sure hoping so - have a $300 gift card.
Would anyone know for sure though.
Thanks!!!

Sooner or Later they will
Until then you gotta have to wait, I had the same question. I wanted to know how long will it take from 13th of November for this tablet to show up in best buy (Canada)? Kind of a important question for me, I want this tablet before 14th 12PM.

I'm hoping Currys/PC World (biggest UK retailer) get the Nexus 10. As I do have vouchers with them. But as for now it is only on the Play store

im in the same boat with Office Depot i have a $400 gift card that i was gonna use toward a tf700 but now am really thinking about waiting for this...
bought a toshiba thrive on CL for $250... the person i bought it from had the 2 year accidental damage... it broke so i have a $400 gift card in the mail...
couldnt have happened at a better time lol

If they don't carry it, they can normally order it for you online. At least thats what the manager told me when I returned my tf700

Is it available in best buy

Is told they wouldn't carry it as they don't carry the N7. They said it's because they would take a loss on it. I think it's because they're in bed with Apple. Just look at the amount of Apple they carry over Android.

My wife is one of the Google Chrome Rep's at Best Buy. (I don't think they have one in every store) The program just changed and they are basically dropping the Chrome from their name. In one of her emails the company said that the reason they don't carry the Nexus 7 is because of a deal between Amazon and Best Buy. Mainly because it's the direct competitor. It doesn't look like Best Buy will ever carry the Nexus 7. She wasn't sure about the N10 but it doesn't look likely.

QVC.com Has The Galaxy N7100 Available On Thier Site

Dunno if anybody here uses QVC but yea they got it listed and available. I called up asking about it since my mother let's me use her account sometimes and they told me I had a easy payment option I could use towards it. It's on easy pay now too, I kinda backed up away from the N7100 version since there's no LTE and only 3G connections. But figured I'd inform those users who like this version.
