Lapdock <$90

Already posted this in the marketplace but just to let people know, Amazon has a bunch of listings for lapdocks that are under $90. I was pissed that I missed the 1saleaday deal and I've been looking for a good deal ever since. Looks to me like the people who hopped on that deal are reselling. Haha. Anyway thought I'd let people know.

Dunno where you are getting under $90 from. Did you look at the prices with shipping added?
Sort by price and shipping and you get $110 as the cheapest new one. Cheapest used is $106 with shipping. Cheapest even with free shipping is $110.
Better off looking on EBay.

Doesn't look much like an April Fool to me since if you actually GO TO Amazon they have advertised 41 new FROM $88.95. If someone wanted to April Fool this they would be posting more of a price difference than $15 from the real thing. Think you just punked yourself!!!
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=atrix+4g+lapdock
If you then click on their link you get the real pricing. Amazon has things priced in this way all the time!
Bye!

No April Fools.
Amazon displays their featured merchants first so the $100+ prices you are seeing are from their established sellers.
Scroll down and you'll see the ~$90 lapdock listings.
Hope that helps out!

I can sell u one for 100 shipped within US. Brand new never used.

Wait.. why would someone buy one for $100 when they could get one for $90 on Amazon?

Its free market ;-) right

GSM Galaxy Nexus: $399 US Only

Google has recently begun selling the GSM HSPA+ Galaxy Nexus for only $399 on their Play store. Incredible deal.

Don't think so, sorry.

Damn good price!

This might be a first for when the CDMA variant will go for more used than the GSM. I'd imagine used prices will start dropping on these rather quickly, especially the docomo version.

CDMA Galaxy Nexus's will be $200 used in no time.
I would say the GSM will be about $300 and the white being $350-400 probably.

shipping + tax makes it 437 to FL.
not buying it as I already have one ...

Yeah. same price its always been on ebay once you add the tax and shipping...

Can you use MEdia Net with these on at&t?

The benefit from buying from google is that you get the warranty as well, no?

You get the warranty though, so for some it is a better deal. I for one would prefer to have the warranty than to not. Also **** having to deal with dailysteals and 1saleaday.

"We're sorry, the requested URL was not found on this server."

Weird. Usually American sites allow Canadians to at least purchase it online and get it shipped to somewhere in America. I personally live close the the border and go over all the time so it's pretty normal for me to purchase things online and ship them to America and pick it up when I'm in America every week or two.
Ah well, I imagine I'll be able to with proxies or something.

yes $437 to Florida that is a copy of my checkout webpage

For me it was only 409.50 w/ shipping, tax said 0.00, I didn't go any farther than complete this purchase though.
Thinking about going for it.

Care if you are importing the phone!

Hello, I made this thread because I ordered my Samsung GS3 int version on ebay (I'm from Canada) and they sent it with DHL... Now I have to pay 120$ for custom fees... Every ****ing time I used DHL for shipping I had to pay for custom fees even for something FROM Canada, maybe they are quick but having to pay 120$ + 50$ shipping + 750$ for the phone is a bit too much, for that price I could have picked the 32gb version... So yeah just try to avoid DHL, I'm not saying that if you don't take DHL you wont have to pay for custom fees, but if you choose DHL be sure you'll have to pay an extra

Because it was marked for fedex shipping on ebay but the seller told me it's because DHL option is not available on ebay so yeah, it was said somewhere on the item description (something like 500 - 1000 lines) but I haven't seen it.

I know it's my government but with DHL you have to pay everytime, with fedex I never had to pay for custom fees... You can type DHL custom fees canada on google and you'll see how many thread there is about that, they are not even trying to avoid custom fees they just don't care about customers.

I don't think thats very accurate. A lot of us who already HAVE the phone and have had it since launch still answer a question or two in there.

If the ebay seller listed fedex and sent it through dhl which costed you additional 120 bucks, you are entitled to a refund as per buyer protection program from ebay.
call ebay and get a refund. They cover shipping also in buyer protection.

Avoid Customs
Omegacell.com is canadian based out of Edmonton. I purchase all my phones from them. They guys there are awesome. I ordered my phone at like 2 in the afternoon and by 2 30 i had an email said the phone was shipped. Next day it was at my house. Galaxy S3

Do we get taxed?

I'm located in BC, Canada. Does anyone have experience to buying google devices on play.google.com?
Those of you in Canada, did you have to pay tax? Or is it $309 outright?
One more question, can we preorder the phone or do we have to wait til Nov 13 to buy the phone online?
Thanks~!

I'm sure there will be taxes collected somehow... as for when we order I'm not sure. Hoping earlier then the 13 so we get it on that day. So in other words a pre-order.

When you place your order it will be from Google Canada Corp. You will be charged HST and shipping. There are no pre-orders.

Thanks for the promptly replies! I think I'll buy it in stores to save on the shipping. How soon do you think Futureshop or Bestbuy will start selling the N4? Right on the 13th?
Thanks~!

Doubt it. Maybe 2-7 days after. There hasn't been any leaked info about anyone carrying it in stores in Canada yet. Same with carriers. The only carrier that I have seen that has any info on if they will be carrying it is tmobile. That's it.
I could be wrong tho.

Buying from bestbuy/futureshop will be more expensive.
And you will have to pay tax on it aswell.

For profit. They know people will pay $20 or 30 more because they won't buy it online. You might be able to price match it if your lucky.

Profit. Cover costs like shipping. Marketing etc. Wouldn't be surprised if I see if for 450+ in stores.

Not really. They get bulk discounts. You will be surprised on how much bestbuy/futureshop actually gets them for.

Well hopefully it won't be too expensive... When I got the nexus 7 from best buy when it first came out, they charged the same as play store (259 CAD).

$403.20 after tax
dayum
btw, anybody here on wind/mobilicity?

As an employee of best buy in Canada I can tell you that the company won't be selling the phone outright. (Galaxy nexus wasn't sold either) Makes absolutely no profit (all profits come from activations not phone sales) so your best bet, and mine, is the Google play store.

Are you talking about the nexus 4 specifically or (smartphones) in general? If in general I doubt they'll be able to get that much of a discount, especially off the 8gb version.

Wait a moment! So for Canadians (me) it's 359.99 + 20.00 Shipping + 13% Tax?
Are you forreal ._.

I didn't make any profit from selling my S3 ;'(

UK buyer here. I was under the impression that the £279 for the 16 gig included tax.
After having another look on the "Devices on Google Play Terms of Sale (Great Britain)" page it states:
All prices include VAT.
All applicable taxes will be presented at checkout, even if they are not displayed on the product page.
So what is it, the price shown includes VAT, or it doesnt and an extra 80 quid will be thrown on top of the 279?

Where can I buy the G2 in Manhatten?

Im not sure when this thread belongs, so I will just throw it in the G2 help forum.
Im will be flying to Manhattan and looking to buy the device once I get there. I want to step into a store and buy the device, however the prices are much higher tha Amazon. For example, I saw a 90$ price difference between Amazon and Best Buy.
Can anyone tip me on where can I buy the device in Manhattan, but in Amazon prices?
Thanks a lot in advance

I bought mine on eBay for 300, it would likely be more expensive in stores. And knowing NY you have to consider the sales tax...Anyway you can find it at T-Mobile, AT& T, Best buy, Verizon, etc.

Manhattan isn't exactly a cheap place either, 3rd party stores here usually charge MSRP, not the prices you find online.

If I buy via Amazon and have it sent to New York, will I get charged MSRP somehow? Will it have to be paid to the courier?
If not, then why would anybody buy in stores when everything can be bought via Amazon who are cheaper and have great customer service?

Peoples want it instantly and don't want to wait for shipping, rush shipping typically boosts the price to similar levels, also returning an online item is more of a hassle.
As far as I know Amazon usually charges taxes for all or most items in New York. Before it was dependant on where the seller was shipping from but Amazon is large enough that it would bring governmental and legal oversight if they didn't charge tax.
I'd honestly just purchase it from an official Att and Verizon store just to avoid any future trouble or warranty issues. A lot of the g2's on Amazon are the unlocked international version.

If you buy from Amazon you'll get the Amazon price, but NY has sales tax, so that will increase the price (And any shipping costs if you don't use Prime).

If you still rather buy at a store, some retailers allow you to pricematch to amazons cost. Only some. But going amazon route is indubitably the simplest.

I would really rather just buy from a store, because waiting for a package to arrive to the hotel will be make me worry all the time that it will actually arrive on time before my trip ends, etc.
Do you know of some store in Manhattan where I can try this approach?
