So i want to buy the transformer today, and i was wondering where is the best place to buy? I am in the US, in IL, but because of the quality control issues, I want to be able to take it back if I have to. Also, price is an issue, as it seems to vary. A lot of places have it online, but do any stores carry it yet? As for online companies, they are ok, but it would be nice to at least have a store to return to if i need to..I guess another issue would be getting one of the newer models that might have fixed the power cord issues and some QC issues. I searched for an answer, but I didn't find anything really giving advice on where to buy, now that it is actually in stock in some places...thanks!
Amazon.com. Why pay sales tax? I'm in IL also so I share your pain of living in such a crappy state.
lol i hear ya...especially cook county...but amazon only has them for 453 right now? seems like the price keeps moving around...i have prime too so i would do it, but the extra 50 bucks kills it
Newegg.com

For the in store pick up check your local Best Buy.

Amazon charges sales tax here. Newegg does not.
Newegg for life. Build quality for my TF101 is perfect as well (first order)
Interesting...looks like the Frys electronics has it about a half hour from me...might check that out...

I seem to be having problems with my pms for some reason...i just sent you a message . Are you visioninc on ebay? cause i have a coupon for ebay so i might just use that for your listing. Few questions though...do you have light bleed at all and to what degree, or dead pixels? and do you have a receipt you could give me for the warranty? Why are you getting rid of it? thanks...
Amazon or Newegg for sure. No taxes and 30-day return/refund with no restocking fee!
I bought mine from Toys R Us on Wednesday for 399.99, plus they gave me a $25 dollar gift card that I used towards the purchase. I'm loving my Transformer so far! I just wish I could figure out how to Tether it with my Blackberry
I got mine in Fry's Burbank, CA. Have not run into any problems with it so far and have not seen and noticeable bleeding either.
Got mine at Newegg for $389 with no tax and free shipping by registering a new accounts and using the "newcustomer10" coupon. Not much of a savings but it was the best deal I could find until the TD one yesterday.
Newegg was also was willing to cross ship when I had to exchange my first Transformer due to some defects.
I bought my 32GB from Amazon. The 16GB was $50 more than the original price. I would recommend Best Buy.

Amazon always sell at retail price. The over-retail must have been a 3rd-party seller.
And yes, Amazon are definitely the best place to buy from now that the shortage is over. Amazing customer service and 30-day hassle-free return.

Psugtooq, are you saying that Newegg sent you a replacement before they received the damaged one back???
I ended up going with newegg...good call on the new customer code...i used it also...amazon had the 16gb 50 over and it was direct through them...i know its not normal but it was so....newegg has been good in the past and I heard alot of crap about td and their shipping...plus it was through ebay too and that can get interesting...great price though

Yep. After I sent back the defective one, I went into live chat and politely asked that Newegg send out a replacement immediately as I didn't want to have to wait 2 weeks for them to process the RMA and issue an exchange. The rep told me to call their customer service 1-800 number and ask for an "advanced replacement." I did so and a replacement was sent out the next day with their standard 3 day shipping (arrived in 2). Their was no additional charge, just the stipulation that my CC will be charged if the original isn't received within 30 days.
i'm looking for a new tablet and found a refub of NC for 120$ is a refub a good idea?
with all the shipping cost it will go up to 169$, there are also other no name tablets (some of them are good) for this price (with the shipping...)
need some advice
Yes, great deal. I have bought one new nook and one refurb and you could not tell the difference. Do NOT go with a no name tablet or you will be crusing trying to do anything. The Nook is a great low priced tablet that is very hackable and easy to use. Plus it is unbrickable and can boot from an SD card

Ditto on buying a refurbished one. I also bought one new and one refurbished and could not tell difference. But check out the refurbished ones being sold on eBay directly by B&N for $119.00 plus sales tax and free shipping. Look at posts here in this thread for a direct link.
I have a refurb also that I got from Overstock. It was shipped from B&N. Paid 139.
It was in perfect condition with no issues. 1 year warranty.
So...at 119....it is a steal.
I'm glad to see that you guys have good luck with your refurbs. I ordered one from B&N on Ebay last night. $119 plus $9.29 OK sales tax. I can't wait for it to get here.

Refurb is even better than new. They rigorously test the refurbs so they are pristine.
Barnes & Noble is presently selling them on eBay for $129 with free shipping... And since you are essentially buying from B&N warranty issue should also be no problem.
I scored one for 119 plus 7 dollars missouri tax on Sunday night. Its gonna be a xmas present for a 4 year old who won't leave his mommies evo3d alone. I look forward to being part of your community.

It's a great idea mate. I bought mine refurbished with a 1 year warrenty and I'm happy as can be. Buying a NC new at this stage would be a waste in my options as long as you get it from a good source with a trustworthy warrenty furbed.
Get a good deal from B&N with ebates!
Ok, so I learned that ebates doesn't give cash back on Nook purchases. Now if you buy B&N gift cards (not customizable ones), that should qualify for cash back (8% as of now 11/30/11). B&N also has a $10 eGift card for every $100 gift card purchased promotion ($10 to be given after Christmas 12/26/11). Buy $200 in gift cards and get $20 later. You will also qualify for first ebates $10 gift card and cash back ($200 x 8% = $16). So if you're willing to wait for gift cards and cash back later, you can spend $200 and get $30 back in gift cards and $16 cash back via ebates!

Found a coupon for $10 gift card for $50 purchased at Target (in store only). Expires 12/3/11.

Don't forget to signup with ebates to get cash back and $10 gift card (Target, B&N, others..).
My NC came with very noticeable scratches on the bezel. The screen is perfect dough.

This is the best deal available, unless you find one for cheaper than $140 used / like new on Craig's List locally.
Your other option is Amazon sells a Factory Refurbished model that has a full like-new warranty for $180 w/ no shipping and no tax in most areas:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-list...1&sr=8-1&seller=&colid=&condition=refurbished
Walmart will cost you about $214 depending on your tax rate. You'll get a $50 gift card, so if you shop at walmart regularly, then the Kindle Costs you $164 brand new. I've seen used ones for $140 to $150 locally here. Hopefully in larger cities you could find good ones for less. $10 to $20 may not be worth buying used, but if you found one for $125 or less, that might be worth it.

Woot has the MOJO for $64.99 plus $5.00 for shipping.
I almost bought it from Woot 30 minutes ago until I noticed that Woot said the box came with only Mad Catz M.O.J.O. and the Micro-Console for Android Controller while the Groupon deal @ $69.99 (after taxes for me came out to be the same price) says the box comes with Mad Catz M.O.J.O. console, Mad Catz C.T.R.L.R gamepad, HDMI cable, AC adapter, USB adapter, controller travel clip, two AAA batteries. I went with the Groupon deal.
I see the discrepancy in the description of the accessories but I think (and hope) that they are the same. It seems to me that the console must obviously include the AC adapter and, similarly, the controller would include the travel clip and batteries. These are NEW condition so nobody should have gone in and removed these included in the box items.
Look at the specs tab here. All accessories included.
Nice. It was going for $99 and change on Amazon for the past 3 days. I think the Groupon deal comes cheaper since it has Free Shipping.
The WOOT deals comes to $74 plus change with shipping.
I think you need to look again. It's $64.99 + $5.00 shipping. That's $69.99 everytime I add it up. It's also what my total came to when I ordered it this morning.
I clearly saw the 74.99 reason why I paused to check it also on Groupon. Tax must have been included (im in PA).
Anyway, still a better deal than $100 . Hope you got yours.

Aside from the peace of mind of Groupon's clearly stated box contents, it was actually a few cents cheaper because Woot added tax to my checkout cart.
Guys, I was able to get a further $10 off the Groupon deal using the LUX10 (for new customers only). I grabbed the code from this website http://promocode2016.com/groupon/promo-code/
Not sure it will ever get this low again

Drat, that is a super deal.
I would suggest looking out for offers at Amazon too. Besides, Amazon promo codes can help claim reasonable discounts on your purchases.
