Lapdock prices are absurd - Atrix 4G General

we should probably go above and beyond to make sure motorola doesn't discover that yous guys have basically provided me with a way to justify the price of a lapdock, i mean, otherwise they're gonna "upgrade" it, and jack the price up over tablets...tablets that don't require a 500 dollar attachment
look at this
http://www.google.com/search?q=moto...gc.r_pw.&fp=718c35d66707d000&biw=1152&bih=567
you see how dramatically the price varies? what in **** is going on with this thing? is it going to be a thing, or something fanboys hoard knowing damn well i won't give them a ****ing dime?
just my thoughts

Im thinking about doing the 175 for the refrub on the at&t website. I doubt it'll go lower than that.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App

the att website has it for 175
EDIT:
damn, got beat to it

so new lapdocks are $299 while refurbs are $175.
why... do many online retailers and such show lapdocks at more than $299?
should they not adjust their prices to what the current price from the manufacturer is?
i understand that people sell their items for what they want.
but it just doesn't make sense to overprice something that you don't want to keep. it's like when you buy a car. as soon as it gets driven off the lot, it's worth less. it never increases in value.
unless it becomes a classic or something.

Just be on the lookout for a good deal. I just sold mine on CL for $150...

Lol, just checked on Craigslist vegas, a guy selling it fot $400, and he's giving a link with $499 brand new. Better include the phone with it on that price

lol that so funny

im sorry guys if this is against the rules but I have one for sale. ill sell it for 150. im in nj and sold my ATRIX for cash for a prime and I have yet to sell the ATRIX

i got a message from att a couple of weeks ago to get the webtop for 99$. I'm in canada and it is for att customers but i thought i would just let u guys know

webtop ≠ lapdock
thanks, though.

Pricing between stores

So the epic 4g has finally been announced - august 31 for $250. Is there any chance that other retailers like best buy or radio shack will sell the phone for more like 200? It seems as though most phones are priced at 200 already. Will the epic see a drop in price anywhere?
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
I don't think any stores can sell it for a different price. The best you can expect is instant rebates instead of mail in at places like Best Buy and maybe a gift card like a lot of places did for the Evo and Droid X
Physical stores don't tend to sell for less. However websites do. On Amazon the captivate and vibrant were both $150 on release day, and on the 2nd day they had both hit $99.99. I could see the epid 4g going as $200 then $150 or maybe $150 then $100, it's hard to say for sure though.
It would be nice. The mail in rebates don't help offset the cost very well. You have to have the phone for 30 dats before you can submit it and then up to 12 weeks to receive it. In the mean time you have to pay $350 up front.

Radioshack just called me 2day concerning the epic. Preorders start Friday 8/13/2010 with $50 down, u get a gift card and pay the rest on the 31st. Overall price is $249. This is at the waterfront store here in Pittsburgh, pa. Thought y'all would want to know.

@ygulp does radio shack offer instant rebates??
About amazon:
how hard is it to get one ot the phones off of amazon? Do they sell out quick?
Also, do you have to go through the rebate process to get money back? This sure sounds like a great deal vs buying through sprint. My only issue is availability.

Can't comment on availability much. I have only been watching the Galaxy S phones on there, but the Captivate and Vibrant both had 0 issues with stock, I never once saw them sell out on amazon. The evo I have even seen on amazon once or twice, and I've never seen it anywhere else in stock online. The droid X is shipping in 1-2 weeks though. Popular phones get backstocked. The EPIC 4g is it hard to say whether it will be backordered or not for sure. There isn't really even a guarantee that Amazon will get it on the first day or at all.
The EVO 4G btw isn't discounted at all despite being out for so long, but other phones from sprint are, I think stock availability is likely to play a major role in pricing.
Thanks for your help and advice! Much appreciated to save a little $

Hey kennethlongshaw,
How did you pre order already from best buy? I don't see any epic 4g pre order info on their site. I'll try calling one of their stores tomorrow. I would really like to purchase through best buy so I don't have to do a rebate.

There are things I love/hate about both the iPhone and Atrix, so I'm seriously caught in the middle. Any thoughts about why I shouldn't ditch the Atrix yet? You said wait, but I'm not sure "what" you wanted me to wait for
Some are selling on ebay for around $350.
not spending 500 bucks...
I'm in with the "cheaper dock" thing
I want the dock, I find the idea to be genial, but I do not see why I should pay $500 for essentially a screen, a keyboard and a battery.
So, anyone know of a cheaper source (or when - if - prices eventually go down), let me know. I'll keep subscribed to this thread
As I mentioned. Best Buy - $399.00 ($100 off)
You can order it from Motorola for around 360; granted I took my Atrix back before I got a chance to use it.
I love the idea but a lot of reviews and people with first hand experience said it was a little laggy.
If it was 200 bucks I'd grab one today though.

Not anymore, you can't. It is not available anymore in Moto's online store. Before they took the accessory down, they bumped up the price again to US$499.
Not sure if I even want to spend 400 bucks on it (bestbuy). I personally think that is still too much for this piece of hardware.
It's $299 from ATT after a $100 MIR. I can't post links yet, but just search for lapdock and it comes up.

Only applies for people on an AT&T plan. Where this does not apply, this is the same price as letstalk.com.
Thanks for pointing it out though, this is another place to order. And a good deal for AT&T customers
It seems the Lapdock is now on sale in Canada for a mere CAD 330 (as opposed to US$ 399 being the cheapest in US). Unfortunately, it seems futureshop does not ship internationally, so it seems there is no way for me to order it from there.
This, however, brings up an interesting pricing question: is Moto test-driving a different price in Canada, just to see how it sells? Does that mean the US price is going to drop, or does it mean the Canadian price is going to go up later on?
More importantly: how do I get this shipped internationally from Canada? Any ideas?

If it were me, I'd have it shipped to a postal annex or USP store or something, then have them intercept it and forward the mail to any address of your choosing.

Do anyone know how long this offer is for? My wife got an optimus last week and its been having problems. So I'm thinking about getting her one of these Epics.
I'm just hoping sprint don't charge me a restocking fee. After all the optimus isn't working correctly. People on the other end of the phone can't hear her.

I worked for radioshack for 3 years. I deeply loathe that place. Please people don't buy your phones at radioshack. Its all they care about and those prices are so low because district managers pressure associates into not selling phones unless you get accessories with it. Don't believe me? Go ahead and try it. I guarantee you the salesman will turn you away not sell you the handset if you don't get something alongside with it.
Bottom line. Get your phones online. I bought both of my epics back in november for 100? If im not mistaken off of letstalk.com. amazon normally has awesome deals too. Save yourself the hassle of being hassled and don't put money into these corporate pigs pockets.

Yes. The guy at my local radio shack was pushing me towards an Evo. Boo! he said there was no other phone in its class. I said what about the epic? And he just kinda scoffed and said it was a decent phone.

It bad. You get harassed and your job threatened everyday. Your NEVER good enough in that place. For those interested or want to work there this is what you will experience.
Radioshack gets angry if you don't sell they're quota of phones a day. If you sell your phone by itself they get angry. I you sell a phone with accessories (and they have a minimum like 20-40 bucks), cool. Now did you get the warranty? No? Your not good enough. Here's a write up. I remember when the i4 came out and they said it was mandatory to sell the 70$ applecare with it. Lol. Oh and don't forget about the plethora of other **** you gotta do there besides earn commission selling cell phones. Which is essentially the only real way to make money there.

jeez, I've never had an issue buying a phone at radio shack. I've never bought accessories there and they just seemed happy I was getting a phone.
Lovely.. i'm within 30 days.. now I get to see if i can get best buy to price match/guarantee, or return it (stupid restocking fee) and get it for $100 cheaper.. if it was $20-40 difference I wouldn't bother, but $100.. that's worth some time to get my money back.

Best or Cheapest place to buy a new epic 4g?

My brother is due for an upgrade and he's new to android. I think the phone will be great for him. So I was wondering where is the best place to buy an epic? I'm looking in terms of price and deals. So far, the best deal I found was at radio shack where I can get one for $49 + tax w/ contract after trading any old working phone.

Are you sure? the radioshack employee told me that it was $149 for an upgrade, then take off $100 after trading in any old working phone, which would come to $49 + taxes...said that the promotion was going to end saturday, so I'm assuming it must've just started.

wow, can't beat that. ridiculous that the evo is still pulling $199 on contract
Talked to two different radio shack stores just now. The first store that I called said that its for new contracts only. The second one I called said that upgrades were indeed eligible for the offer, and the first store I called didn't know what they were talking about. She even went on to say that she just recently did the same offer for an upgrading customer...so I don't know what to believe.
Well I manage a RadioShack, so I'm pretty sure that it is only for new activations. The store maybe able to add the $100 trade and save rebate but the store will charged back for it.

Don't hate the company because you left them or were terminated. Yes they do give a lot for iphone trade in but there is never a price drop for the iphone either. As far as love for other phones. A $100 trade in towards the epic to bring it down to $50 is pretty good. Love them our hate them you still get some of the best prices out there and employees who will go that extra mile for you instead of just clerking you out.

Are you guys reading that right? The phone is $500 off contract or $200 with a contract... if you trade in your Evo you get an additional $100 off the $200 making the phone $100 WITH a new contract not existing contract... of course your existing contract wont stick.

best offer so far i got is 275 for phone if i toss in the case and extra battery i can get 300
