Controlling supply and demand?

What about all those preorders early this month that were canceled. Did any stick at the original price?

Tigerdirect did the same thing. They justified it by adding a cable and some cleaner.

Maybe it's because Transformer kills Xoom and Iconia sales? My local Target's have plenty of both in stock and there seems very little interest in them.

I know on release day, TD put the package on their website, but you were still able to call in and just order the TF without the extra overpriced crap. Thats what I did.

Yup. High demand and low supplies equates to whoever carries it, can control how much they charge for it. It blows, I know, but those are the rules of the game unfortunately.

plus there not shipping for 5 days.

target shipped from PA, any one lives near there and doesn't mind the increase can go for it.
i order it for 399 on last wednesday and it delivered on monday.

[INFO] Found the Transformer at Target for $359.99!

Found the Transformer at Target for $359.99! Use cupon code "TCA27BAR" at checkout for 10% off Woot Woot! Ordered two of these bad-boys.
Deal info: The Transformer is already a pretty great deal in the world of Android tablets – you get the same 10.1" screen and dual core processor as its competitors, for the low price of just $399.99. But if that price point isn’t enough to get you to rush out and buy one, or you’d like some extra cash for that keyboard dock, you’re in luck – you can get it from Target for a cool $40 off by using the code TCA27BAR at checkout.The only problem is, the tablet isn’t exactly available – it’s still on back-order, so Target warns that it will begin shipping "in 2 to 4 weeks." Of course, shipping will set you back another $7.95, and you’ll still be paying taxes, so chances are you either won’t be saving too much off the original $400 price, or you’ll be paying more, whereas with Amazon you could forego both those additional costs. Unfortunately, Amazon doesn’t have any in stock yet either (in fact, it’s powered by Target as well), so the Target deal is probably the best one around at the moment.
Bonus: another 5% off by using the REDcard, if you’ve got one.
Please hit the "Thanks" button if you like this
I just did this too, and was coming to post it, but you beat me to it.
The code does work!! It says estimated delivery is May 20-June 7. Hopefully it shows up sooner, but if not oh, well. With tax and shipping it was under $400. I can wait a few extra days to save $30-$40!!
I ordered direct via Target a couple days ago also. If you order via Amazon, you're really ordering via Target anyways. Saved me about $43 ordering via Target direct.
Wish it was selling the dock too...I'd put in for one if we could use the code. I'd be willing to wait....like I'm doing now anyway ahaha.
Do you still pay tax if you buy from target via amazon?

Yeah, you do... so you actually do save about 60 bucks with the tax and shipping by using the code and ordering direct from target.
And when you buy from Target.com ... if you decide to return it ... you get 90 days and you can walk into any local Target.

BTW I bought last two from my closest Staples and i wanted to buy more.
So I guess i can get it ordered few more !!!
Did they charge you already or ? wht they did?
I asked the sell rep and they said they don't have it. But they can order it. So I went ahead with that. so they will ask u address details and coupon and print some paper regarding ur order and then u have to take that paper to main counter for payment so they will give u receipt for payment and order receipt. I order store pick up to get free shipping.

[Deal] Note 8.0 Wifi-only at Amazon for $379.99 (also eligible for $25 Play Credit)

Hi All!
I woke up this morning to the pleasant surprise of an Amazon price drop on the Note 8 (wifi-only) to $379.99. This is the best price I am aware of here in the US currently. I just picked up one myself (finally!).
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-16GB-White/dp/B00BQH8UEY/
I have a hunch that this price drop will only be temporary and that Amazon will bump it back up after not too long (a few days maybe?). Staples is running a $20 off coupon for this weekend and so I wonder if Amazon is trying to compete with that? Regardless, this is a good price.
Enjoy!

I guess it depends on what state you live in. In Virginia there's currently no taxes for Amazon purchases, and it is also Free Shipping for orders > $25. I think there may be a few states where you do have to pay taxes for Amazon purchases, but I don't know which ones.

That is too bad man! If those other sellers you mentioned don't charge sales tax it might be because they don't have any kind of physical presence in NY, but perhaps Amazon does? But regardless, it really does suck how taxes can eat up potential savings!

$579 is not really much of a price break,, especially for Costco where items tend to be significantly cheaper than their competitors. I was hoping to see at least a $50 discount (10%).

Just bought a brand new white Note 10.1 2014 Edition 16GB on eBay for $519 and no tax. The seller has over 10,000 transactions with 99.9% positive feedback. Added a SquareTrade 2yr Accidental Damage warranty for $99 and I'm set. I preferred the black model, but it's going to be in a case. So the color was not a deal breaker by any means.
Now, I need a decent case and a 64GB micro SD card.
I picked one up at costco on the 6th. I wouldn't really call this a bundle. The pouch is pretty mediocre, the price is just okay, but the return policy is awesome and I didn't have to wait for it or go to best buy.
If anyone else bought this puppy at costco, can you explain how the pouch converts to a stand? I can't figure it out. The best I've been able to do is make a bump out of it and I don't think I would ever try to rest the tab on it; it would most likely just slip off of it. I pretty much just use it as a sort of placemat under it when I put it down. It's not even good as a pouch.
The note itself is pretty cool, though and I don't really mind not getting much of a price break. Sammy still hasn't sent me the code for the perks though. That kind of ticks me off. The serial number and the mac address don't match and it's taking them forever to deal with it. If they don't get their act together pretty soon I might just bring it back and wait for them to go on sale. It would be a shame though, this one has no issues that I've noticed yet. No screen bleed, build quality is excellent. Battery life could be better and there is a little lag but I can live with that. Oh well.

Well you have 90 days from when you purchased it at Costco so I'm sure something will happen by then. I too have yet to receive the code. I even had it escalated through live chat 3 days ago and was told that I should be receiving the code through email today. Nothing yet so far so I'm sure I'll be talking to Live Chat once again. Regarding the Pouch as a stand? My mistake it doesn't stand the tablet up at all. It's more of a way to set it down on an angle for typing maybe? But I agree not much of a bundle but we did save some money for a 32GB model. I purchased a Poetic slim case for $9.99 @ Amazon with Prime shipping. It looks great and now well protected. Very happy I bought this tablet.

Keep checking. I'm sure it will come that way. Costcos here carry them (Washington State).
Update: Finally received my Code perks! It took about two weeks but finally here. I now just registered my second Note 10.1 2014 unit for perks as well. Unfortunately I also had to speak with live chat agent regarding errors during registration. I was told I should be receiving my perks within two days.... more like 2 weeks. At least now I know it will be coming.

Still nothing at my local Costcos which are only pushing the Note 8 and Tab 3.
Personally, I bought brand new 16gb version on eBay from a reputable seller located in New York on December 13th and had it in my hands in Southern CA on the 23rd (even with the UPS delays). For potential buyers, you may want to consider this option, though only buy from a reputable seller.
I bought mine from Costco in early Dec for $579. It is interesting though, the store I went to had a whole stack of them, but no other Costcos in the Detroit area had any. When you check for them you may want to have them search all the Costcos in the area.

Just at my local Costco today and noticed that they lowered the price from $579 to $529. If you purchased yours within 30 days of this change in press you can get back the difference or just simply return it and get another one since you have 90 days return policy.

Costco refund
I paid 579 for mine. I saw they now had it for 529. I went in and got 50 refund. I think this refund time is for 90 days. Just offer to either return it or get the difference and they will always give you the difference.
We have 3 Costco's here and only one has ever had the Note 2014. The other two never have it. They have it online, but the price is higher.
The pouch is pretty worthless. If it can be a stand, I have on idea how that would work.

Yes as a stand I agree it's worthless, it's more like a way to have an angle when you rest it on a flat surface for typing maybe? I was told from an employee if you purchased before the price change, you have 30 days from the start of the reduced price to refund you the difference. Your safety night of course is the 90 day return policy.

I purchased mine from them a week ago.
Mine came in an open box, but from what i have read, this happens in all stores.
New Egg is definitively not Amazon, i had lots of problems ordering mine, and customer service could not provide a simple answer. Having said that, they currently have the white version for $279, and you could see if their Masterpass offer (20% off) is still active for even more savings.

Yes. You have to go in store and have one of the workers look online and see that its indeed cheaper. Sometimes you can show them on your phone but most often they look it up themselves. Sometimes they try to say its not the same item but obviously there's only one model of the gpad. Only difference is white and black. Also they think all tablets are white due to the box only showing the white version. So you need to educate them that they need to read the sticker to see if it's black or white.

will bestbuy only match the $299 price or will they match the $20 rebate too? also does anyone know how long this sale will be up on newegg, I may not be able to get to BB for a day or two.

Honestly it all depends on the store. They will probably just price match the 299 price. The good thing about best buy is if you have any issues you can exchange easily. I had to exchange mine that had a dust particle under the screen.

Two days ago I had best buy match the $329 Newegg price. I am going to factory reset and return this tomorrow, then order from Newegg for $279.
Best buy will not post purchase price match with anyone other than themselves. They also won't match the coupon deal part.
While best buy has improved recently in response to online retailers putting pressure on then; they still will loose business this time with the restrictions of their policy.
It will be a pain to do this but worth $50.
I bought my LG G Pad 8.3 from Newegg when it was on sale for $250, tablet came just fine and works like a charm, no issues, have dealt with Newegg in the past and never had any issues.
I purchased mine yesterday using the 20 $ off total was about 299$. LOL I live in New Jersey so I had to pay $20 tax. Will let you guys know how it goes.

Newegg is usually fine, though they do like to re-sell returned items from time to time (especially for exchange replacements), and their return policy blows (they force you to pay shipping - about $12 - and won't ship you a new item until they receive and process the old one, which takes about a week). The one I got in the $250 sale was perfect, but the screen got borked during a screen protector installation, and the replacement seems to have faulty power/volume buttons.
Just returned the Best Buy one. That was $329 plus tax. Just ordered newegg with 3 day shipping, no tax to GA only $283.99 total.
I ordered mine yesterday as well for $283.99. As with all stores and sites, there will be some bad experiences. After reading all the positive reviews I opted to go with newegg. I paid via paypal in case there is some big problem and it's easier to dispute through them than my bank. Hopefully will get home from work on Fri. to have it waiting on me.

Was waiting for a deal on this tablet and it seems new egg has it on sale.I was waiting for a good deal. How good is new egg for good products ? Was hearing some pretty scary stuff about them such as used devices being sold as new and such. What has you guys experience been like using them. Should I jump the gun and go ahead ?

Back between Thanksgiving and Christmas I had Best Buy price match New Egg twice via phone. At that time they were running a post purchase guarantee but currently they (BB) only post match with themselves. The low price guarentee page on their site shows the policy. Scroll to the bottom to watch for special price match offers like I was able to get... twice.
Good luck!
