I bought the Iconia during the Staples sale (pm by OD) in order to take credit card payments for my store. However, Squarepay doesn't play nice with it, so I need to sell.
I can't return because it has been past the 14 day return window and since it is open, OD will charge a 15% restocking fee.
I paid $326 for it and have only used it for a total of maybe an hour (to try and get Squarepay working).
I'm offering it up for forum members here at $300 shipped within the U.S.
Everyone play nice or bans will be issued...
FYI to the OP, I have a square and the iconia, I have contacted square support and they said they are working on it. They didn't give me a time frame, but they have been super responsive in the past on requests and bugs that I have sent them.

Thanks! This is good info, I might just keep it then.
I am wondering whether its the 16 or 32. I am looking to get one for my wife, but running short on funds lol. I have the 16gb model myself just cause the 32 wasnt out when I was shopping.
Interesting. I was going to try out square on my iconia. I'll have to make sure it will work on my Optimus V until they get it to play nice with the tablet.
Also, you should still be able to use Square with just manual entry of the C #'s, although I understand the reason not to with the higher rate of manual entry... Good luck with the sale though.

I did that for a bit, but there's two reasons why this isn't ideal.
1) They actually charge more for manual entry
2) Customers don't like it as much for some reason when you are entering their CC info in. It doesn't seem as "legitimate" as swiping. It also doesn't look as cool.
Is $300 your rock bottom price, or is there any more room to negotiate? I don't need another iconia, but I know a few people who are jealous that would jump at getting one for the right price. You can PM me and we can go from there.
Thanks

I popped for the same deal but bought it online to avoid Florida sales tax...MacMall $321 delivered. 16GB. All the apps seem to like the 8 GB msd card.
Gave my wife my modded Nook Color.

I have the Optimus V, Square, as well as PayAnywhere work just fine for me on it, though interestingly PayAnywhere's device will not work with Square Software, and Square Device will not work with PayAnywhere Software .

id definitely be willing to pay 300 for it to get it for my wife. Been trying to get a touchpad so I can OC it to the 1.9 theyve been talking about, but i have the a500 and would rather get that for my wife. lol
I use square almost everyday with my A500 the surefire way is to connect it when you are ready to swipe, you have a 5 second window but it works every time.

So I can't leave it plugged in..I have to connect and then swipe immediately? I'll try later tonight.
You still offering it? Got everything it came with? I'll take it for $300 shipped. Nothing at all wrong with it, right?
Thanks!

*EDIT* -- I've got a bottom of the barrel Android phone (Huawei Ascend) that prompted me to sell off all my Windows Mobile gear (a bunch of Dell Axim's). Spent the last couple of months comparing, reading reviews, message boards, etc... and the A500 is pretty much what I'm looking for. Got a taste of Android from my phone and I want more, More, MORE!
As you can tell from my post count, I'm not on here too often. But, a reply to this thread, a PM or email at: ka4aaa at gmail will certainly get to me. Thank you again, and I understand if you're keeping it. I'm not going to pay $400 (which every local store seems to be offering), can't find it for less than $340 online, and your $300 price is the magic number I've been looking for. Much appreciated!!
**Second Edit** -- Nevermind. Found one locally. Thank you!
hey, dont know if you got the message i sent but definitely interested in getting it off you. let me know. My pms seem to be acting weird and not sending messages out.
Sorry, I forgot about this post and I'm still getting PMs about this.
Item was sold a week or two ago for $320!
Thanks all!

Wow! Think suppliers are attempting to clear current inventory for possible TF2? Or at least Christmas shopping?
Wow that's an even better deal than when Staples had their $100 off coupon. The $199 Kindle Fire is going to beat up the prices on every tablet.

I'm still convinced the TF 2 isn't that near by. If anything, this sale is a response to the kindle fire.
Why do I think this? Because I heard about the TF a whole year before it finally came out. And back then the rumor was the TF would arrive any day now. Yup, any minute, actually. Well, that any day turned into a whole year.
I'm just not convinced it would take them less than 5 months between the time the tegra 3 is released and when asus could ship in volume devices equipped with the tegra 3.
Transformer $399. Dock $149. $549.00
Asus Slider $479.00
So....

I'm a little bitter at Nvidia as well for crying wolf too, but Tegra 2 was there first Android chip. There were a few non-honeycomb tablets that came out before Zoom (Elocity A7 & ViewSonic). I think Nvidia was late on hardware and blundered on the Tegra 2 by not being ready for honeycomb. I think they were originally targeting 2.2. Hopefully, they have learned from both mistakes.
I'm on the sidelines for the moment. My wife thinks she wants some sort of tablet and the Fire is an option. There are a ton of good looking gingerbread tablets coming soon (I'm assuming fire is gingerbread under the covers as well) in $200ish. I'm liking the Lenovo A7 from a specs standpoint. The Arnova G2 10" might be nice too.
Anyway, benchmarks from the TF201 have been seen. So it exists in some form.
I have a Nook Color running CM7 nightlies.
I ordered a Transformer from Target when they had them for $399 but my order 'got lost in the system', sigh.
I saw this deal and jumped on it.
I doubt that Target will have any inventory to even honor my order. They issued a UPS tracking label but UPS has yet to receive the package and it has been several days. They are sold out so I doubt I ever get that one hence the order with Newegg.
I can't wait to get my hands on this device.
I wonder if we will be able to root this one?

Yes, and it's a valid point. I'm sure Asus has figured it out that $550 for the Transformer+keyboard dock is hard to justify when they're selling the Slider for $479. Plus, we know that Asus must be making some nice margins with the dock at $149. Couple that with the inevitable decrease in component costs for the TF, and suddenly it's probably quite feasible for Asus to drop the price for both and still make a decent margin.
I picked up this deal today. The gf wanted a tablet for school, so I dug around a bit and almost bought it on Amazon for $400 without the dock.

I have picked one up on this deal, but wonder if I would be able to root this or not? I wonder if I am going to get with serial number B70 from NewEgg?
I wonder if all of the new Asus TF have locked bootloader which prevents them from rooting?
If I can't root, it is deal broker for me, and I am not sure if Newegg will take it back or not?
Goddamn, this is frickin' awesome (but heartbreaking..). Anyway, if I didn't have one, I'd totally buy this. I don't think root capability would affect my decision, as the stock version is pretty awesome already. Pre-Netflix, I would have needed the root, but now.. >_>
Just ordered one.... very very legit deal.
I found the sale by accident... there was some ASUS reps on MSU's campus for the Sparty LAN Party... if they read this you guys sold me on it. I loved playing with the demo unit

I was afraid of this, but I went ahead and bought it because it's such a great deal. If anything, you can resell the TF and dock on ebay and still come out good. I think I'll be happy with the stock ROM for now anyways.
But, newegg, by some miracle, could have some older stock of the TF and some of us could get lucky...Here's to wishful thinking
Just because it's not rootable now, doesn't mean it won't be rootable later. But it could take a long time.

I kind of thought the sale might have to do with demand for the dock. The TFs have been relatively hard to find, but New egg's stock indicator was showing 9999+ of the dock last night.
Anyway, this deal was a perfect storm for me. I've been shopping around for a while, waiting to see what was coming out and at what price points. Skype was a big want for me, and having heard it works reasonably well with the new update, and then finding the free keyboard deal put me over the top.

Hi XDA,
I'm currently staying in Manhattan for another 3 weeks before returning back to New Zealand and wondering if any stores could be expected to repeat the Black Friday (or was it Cyber Monday?) sale price ($299?) for the Eee Pad? Or any tablet for that matter? Is this the done this time of year or have I missed out?
Cheers
January time there will be some for sure, with the release of the Prime.
I picked mine up from Futureshop for $299 on Black Friday.... Looked around today hoping it might be the same price for one for my wife, but nothing... Prime is still listed as pre-order here (Canada) (vs 'sold out') so it looks like they have no reason to drop the price until the Prime comes out. The salesman actually told me to wait... considering they are usually pushy and commission-driven I'll take that as a sign. Either way $299 seems to be the 'target' price for now...
Will post if I see anything...
Happy hunting!

at least they have a good return policy... if it goes on sale in the next little while you can always get the difference... I actually bought two iconias and the transformer at the same time as they were constantly running out of stock. I test drove them all and keep kept checking for sales but because of GPS issues with the iconias I kept the transformer instead (though I did like the build and connectivity of the Acer better. aside from the better screen I also find the transformer to be slightly smoother as well.)
Now running revolver and blades3....
Whatever... enjoy your new transformer!

If your new at this stuff, then do your homework here before you buy. Might save you some headaches as well as factory reset may not clear all personal data.
dudes, that's withing policy that they have written. he did nothing wrong moral, legal, or mischievous. I ts true, due homework always when buying anything that costs so much.. Unfortunately alot of stores don't have real or working display models. on the other hand, and it's always a person ora group that ruins it for the rest of us. just a opinion. happy holidays to you and your families

What's the law about selling a used item as new in the US? Just curious...
Aren't the returns supposed to be returned back to the manufacturer to get refurbished and sold as such?
How much do you guys think I could get for it? It is in immaculate condition. Any feedback is helpful. Thanks!
Maybe try two hundred.

$150 to $225 would be about right
Depends on the capacity of it, but unfortunately they aren't worth that much anymore. If you are going to sell it though, do it soon before the new tabs start hitting the market and it will be worth even less.

Based on your tax situation, gift it to charity and then take off $799 on your taxes.
Just looking at completed listings on ebay, they are selling used for $275+ typically.
i wouldnt go lower than $250. the lowest price i've seen at a physical retailer is walmart @ $330 for the 16gb. best buy (as far as website) only carries refurbs for $299 for 16gb. no new ones to be found.
even with a quad core 7 incher from asus at $250 looming, $250 for a used a500(10-inch tablet with at least 16gb and full size usb) is a good deal
Whoa, quick replies haha. So should I ask around 275 for it? Maybe 300?

Where did you see a good review on the first Prime?
Just go over to their XDA forum in the general section if you want to see some VERY unhappy people!
Prime good reviews?????
Is this why Asus is all over the prime forum telling owners they are sorry for all the wifi bluetooth and other issues.
I would recheck the reviews and foums.. REAL USER REVIEWS Not from stores promoting the device. If a store is stuck with something they are going to claim its The best ever...
I will be likely not buying a new tablet until the new Intel cpu tablets come out WITH Windows.. I am thru with locked DEVICE ISSUES... ITS Mine i want to load the os i want... when i want..
ok thats another story.. Ebay is getting good prices for the a500 But only people with good feedback ratings are getting the high end prices.. good luck .
ummmm i sold my broken Iconia for $189 on Amazon. Its simple and easy. My screen broke, so i just bought another one and instead of spending $200 to fix it and wait for it to arrive, i decided to sell it.

Was just going to post same...
Thanks guys. I have been trying to get an order for one of these in at pcpartsohio.com after reading about the deal in another thread. I've sent many e-mails and this has been going on for a month! Grrrrr..... For some reason they keep kicking every card back that I throw at them. Glad that this came along because I am getting suspicious about those guys in Ohio. They really wanted me to call with cc info. This just saved me from dealing with their crap. I've been buying from these guys at 1saleaday.com for a few years now and have ALWAYS been satisfied. Rest assured that if you have any issues at all these guys will stand behind it. I have had to have help with doa items from them and they've always came through aces. And they take PayPal. So my order is already in and payed. No credit card thrown back in my face finally!
Just picked on up myself
Hey guys.
I just picked on of these up of 1saleaday.com
Actually, they had the Toshiba thrive on there a few days ago, which I got. I've read a bunch about their nightmarish shipping times, but as of today, my thrive is WITH UPS and scheduled to be delivered by next Friday at the latest. If you ask me, a couple days of processing before getting to UPS is not a big deal.
Anyway, Looking forward to comparing the thrive and iconia for my own needs. Although the fact that the iconia has ICS will probably be a winner for me.

I should have mentioned that in my little review up there. I have seen it take a few weeks (seems like maybe 3 weeks plus once...) to get an order. I just never sweat it, if I need something fast I jump on Amazon Prime for that. Perhaps it will ship as quickly as your Thrive did.
I got my Thrive yesterday, and the Iconia says it has been shipped as of wednesday! Honestly, it was maybe 10 days from purchase to in my hands for the thrive, and I think it took about 5 days for the Iconia to "process" and show as being shipped by UPS.
My Thrive showed up in a Toshiba Recertified (And factory sealed) box, with all components, paperwork, etc...I couldn't be happier. However, since the Iconia has ICS ROM's and much more development, I'm giving the thrive to my Girl to play with, and I'll enjoy the Iconia.

That makes 2 of us Only way I could decipher exactly what you said!
At that price, you could just buy 3 of them, and hang them in the closet next to the 3 same shirts you alternate every other day
Mine Arrived
I just received mine last night. The screen was clean, but the back of the tablet was covered in fingerprints. There was no data on the device and the charger looks well used, but it works. I can't complain for the price. There is no documentation, just a sheet of paper in the box regarding the warranty and the charger, plus a USB cable. Very nice tablet
