I nearly bought the 32gb version from Amazon yesterday at £429 but decided to wait a bit longer to see if the price dropped, particularly when factoring the cost of the keyboard which I will need.
I had left it in my Amazon basket and when I logged in this morning I got a message that the price had decreased to £379! This is the same price they are doing the 16gb for. Don't know if it was a mistake but I jumped at it. Now saying only 6 left. So even paying £100 for the keyboard, it will still be way under £500 in total!
Hope this helps anyone else still pondering buying.

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.

Just found this - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/330673087472
3 new Galaxy Notes for sale for £395. I've bought one. Been waiting for a great price like this. Fingers crossed all is good when it arrives!
Its not new, there is no box, just the phone and charger so probably returned or refurbished even though says new.wonder what's the warranty situation for these phones bought from Ebay. price looks fine though. Tempted myself to get one for my wife but probably worth the extra forty quid to get from Amazon.de

Well, they've wrote "this is the samsung galaxy note n7000 new". It's completely against the rules to be deceitful about things like that, and doing so can warrant a full refund and negative feedback. Neither of which an ebayer ever wants. I'll let you know how it all looks when it arrives.
The price on amazon.de is fluctuating a lot due to shortage of stock, so you need patience to get a nice price.
I found this store on ebay (http://www.getgoods.de/mobilfunk/samsung/441391/samsung-galaxy-note-n7000?c=156) and it's selling the Note at 499 euros.

I've been waiting for weeks, trust me I've been patient
When I started looking they were about £470, they dropped as low as £430 at one point, which I almost went for.
Patience is the key. Early adopters are the heroes. We get a chance to sit back and watch the bugs ironed out.The development processes mature and the prices drop. Waited a few months to jump on the SGS II and recently bought my wife one which was less than $400 used with a pile of accessories. If I have can hold out till April or May it should prime for all the advantages of waiting.
In the mean time the SGS II is the same device only smaller.
I have my eye on this:

White Note!! Finally!!
Amazon.de have run out of the black ones though... 60-70 Euro price difference... I will wait till the black and white are priced roughly the same before buying it.
Have you seen this price?
Best price I have seen for the 32G and also the dock.
Best Buy will also price match.

I picked mine up at Best Buy for $350. Blue. Amazon has the dock for $128.
Man you guys got your Tf300T's pretty cheap. I got mine at Singapore when it first came out. Costed me roughly $580 for the tablet and the dock
That is an awesome price, holy cow! I got mine from Best Buy for I think $380 for the Tablet and $110 for the dock, but that was after my employee discount. I will ask my manager tomorrow if they can price match AND apply the discount, that would be swwwweeeeet!
Thanks for posting this
Does best buy even offer price matching? I tried to talk the salesman about how it's on Amazon, newegg and other websites cheaper but he didn't seem to know anything and I just picked it up for their price. Didn't want to wait and possibly pay for shipping. I will look for deals on the keyboard dock though. That I can wait a bit on.
Price Match
Print the add (posted above) or hard copy from the paper. Go to the Best Buy help desk and tell them you just bought this and Office Max now has it for <$
If you have a Best Buy in town you must have an Office Max, even if the Office Max does not have them in the store they offer ship to store for free.
Now go and save some bucks. Also, go to Best Buy website and print their Price Match Guarantee (have it in your hands to read) they know about it. Staples will also match it.
Good luck
I'm getting mine Thursday (32gb with the dock) for £360.

I stumbled upon this deal this morning while researching tables. I was going to get the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 until I read the Engadget and CNet reviews. Found out this one is much better. I was at work and called the store to have them hold one for me this I got off work. When I got there they told me that I got the last one and other customers were upset that I has one on hold.
Anyway, I go mine for $377.11 with tax and the keyboard dock for $107.74 with tax. The didn't have the keyboard dock so it is be shipped from another store. I should have it with two or three days.
Hey I just want to thank the OP for this. I printed out the ad, took it to Best Buy, and got $54.25 back. Needed the money too. Thanks
Yeah, just my two cents - I too price matched with Best Buy (my brother visiting from Ireland had bought this at Best Buy a couple of weeks ago). I ended up buying it myself from officemax and then we price matched his at best buy! They were all confused as honestly, I don't think anyone ever takes them up on their offer! But $54 is $54!! ;-)
Office Max TF300t Dock
Appears that Office Max has pulled the TF300t Dock from their web site. Sold out!
At that price I can see why. But not sure why they can't offfer a raincheck. If they did not do their research on what a good deal this was then shame on them. They knew it because of the way they presented it in their flyer. Best Buy had thousand of back orders at Christmas on the TF201 and honored them all. Even gave free docking stations based on the lack of Christmas delivery. Guys argue and hold them to it!
I got the tablet and dock at Best Buy yesterday. They matched the tablet since in stock in local stores, but would not match the keyboard. I went ahead and also got the keyboard from Best Buy hoping the keyboard would be in stock this week at OM to price match.
Then I decided to go ahead and order the keyboard from OM yesterday, since expected them to run out and not get any in store this week.
The dock shipped last night and I will take the other dock back to BB when I get it. Total price for tablet and dock was same price as the A510 and Excite.
just bought my tpad tf300t for $320 at my local best buy! It was a must but when i saw it. The device was pre owned and the box was opened but everything else wasnt touched at all. the device wasnt even turned on.
I keep looking for open box but none around me have any
There will be a tablet and dock in Kentucky tomorrow if my dock is dead and the tablet almost dead while left in sleep mode again. I have had this happen twice in a row and both times the device was restarted, no third party apps used and push notifications disabled.
Shame since got both for $450, but usless to me if the dock and tablet do not behave well together. I have not rooted, so a stock device should not be doing this.
The Excite also had a battery bleed issue while asleep, but 12%, not almost the whole thing (dock too). The A510 did not have the problem, but gets too hot during use.

You think when trying to price match color model matters. Black BA white ...

Haha, yes. I called best buy to see if they would price match a white online one for a blue office max one and the answer was no.
Thanks for this thread & the information. I have done my research and am ready to pull the trigger on purchasing this TF300 tablet. A couple of questions:
I have a BestBuy in a local town about 20 minutes away from me and there is an OfficeMax in that same local. Online, the OfficeMax of course says "Backordered" in this particular store when I search for it. The BestBuy shows it in stock, however I haven't called them to verify yet.
I see BestBuy also has the 16gb model at a similar price to the 32gb that is on sale at OfficeMax.
Will they try to play this off as being that one and thus not be inclined to give me the "price match" offer?
Should I ask them over the phone about the "price match" when calling to verify they actually have the 32gb in stock before making the trip OR would it be best to just show up with the Ad?
Is a salesman the person I present the ad to OR should I just walk in and go to the customer service desk with it?
Sorry for the goofy questions, just trying to have both ores in the water so I have the best chance at getting this accomplished.
Hey all, I am a current iPad user (not by choice, it was a gift) and have been looking to venture into the android tablet world as I am biased since I've gotten my Droid X2 about a year and a half ago. I've successfully rooted/rom'd and SBF'd my X2 many times and I am currently running CM7 and have been for some time. I plan on running Revolution HD rom once the tablet arrives...
Anyways, I bought a Groupon deal shown here http://www.groupon.com/abilene/deals/gg-asus-transformer-tablet-tf101-x1-with-dock-refurb and, unlike myself, I did not do any research on pricing of this package via eBay or Amazon before I purchased it. It's a factory refurb unit with a keyboard dock. I ended up paying somewhere around $307 for it and should be getting it in a a week or two. After checking eBay (after my purchase) I am finding the similar setup (used, obviously) for anywhere between $20-80 less than what I paid. Did I get ripped? It does come with a 90 day factory warranty due to the refurb but is that worth the extra money that I paid? What are these really going for right now? I know it's not a top of the line unit since it's been out for a little while but still...I guess I am just looking to see everyone else' opinions on if I overpaid. Thanks!

Well you didn't really get ripped off, since the dock itself cost around $100+ or so. The bundle is a pretty nice deal. You could have saved some money like around $50 or so, if you looked around on craigslist, swappa.com or ebay. I've seen the tablet plus dock bundle going for around $250 or so.
One thing is for sure though, you DID NOT get ripped off. You just paid a tiny bit extra. Ripped off is like paying full retail, like around $400 to $500.
Thanks for that. I'm sure the 90 day warranty has a little bit of value as well so that has to mean something towards the extra money put out. Anyways, I'm looking forward to getting it. I've already got the files ready to go for rooting/flashing the rom.
I just bought a used one from swappa.com with the keyboard dock for $250. No you didn't get ripped off. I almost used the groupon deal, but I figured I was fine with a used model.
When I bought my tablet/dock almost a year ago I paid close to $600 after taxes, so I think you did ok.
I paid $432 at the beginning of the year because I was impatient and wanted a new tablet NOW. I should've waited. You got a good deal. I didn't even get a dock, but I did get a 32gb model.
Like others have said, you did not get ripped off. IMO $50 extra for a factory refurbished unit with 3 months warranty over a second hand unit from eBay is a pretty good deal, especially with the keyboard dock.
However, personally I don’t find the KB dock all that useful for the things I do, and if you bought the whole package just because it was bundled (but don’t really need the KB dock) then you could’ve gotten a never Tegra 3 based tablet (refurbished or used) for the same price or a little more.
yea... you kinda got ripped for that. Easily can get a tf300 for around that price with a dock.

Can anyone here remember the Nexus 7 being listed at $260?
How about the 16GB version? It's list is now $199. It was $249 at launch, but not now.
List price is what the manufacturer suggests it should sell for and often has no relation to what it actually sells for. Kind of like the difference between retail price and street price. Sellers often use List price for comparison because it makes their deal look better even though smart people know it never really sold at that price. This groupon deal is bogus. Why would anyone pay $10 less than current selling price just to get a refurbished model with a shorter warranty (most are only 90 days instead of 1 year)? Only an idiot would look twice at that offer.
Groupon is a bunch of liars.
It never listed for $260, certainly not a refurbished model.
I often see their "deals" as sounding much better than what is actually the truth. Every so often when I see some heavily discounted product, I look up how much other sites are selling for. Nine times out of ten, you can buy the exact same thing for LESS than the Groupon price at a name brand retailer.
But in this case, the MSRP claim here is a flat out lie. It was $249 at launch, and is now $199. And just because the MSRP *was* $249 months ago doesn't mean it still is.
