on local craigslist someone offering nexus 1 for $300 or 2 for $550. company's name is express sales limited. has anyone had any dealings with these people. www.storefront -210006.secure2cart.com
Never heard of them? Sounds like a scam...be careful!
Probably a scam. I would buy the N1 for full price on the Google website. Honestly it doesn't seem like the N1 will be replaced by a phone with better specs anytime soon.

That is so fake it is not even funny! Click on the featured products tab, it has the info on it from the web site builder template telling you that you can make it as simple or complex as you want...
Plus, those prices are outrageously too good to be true. No way that is real! And then some more things, like descriptions being very weak and inaccurate, and so forth.
thanks
can always depend on u guys. never been steered wrong or given bad info. greatest website in the world, besides pornhub.
Well my friend,
I also don't heard about this.Even I never heard from anybody.That may be fake..Please be aware for it..
Like they say...If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
Mess with them. create a fake email and tell them to send you pictures of the phone showing the serial number number or along those lines. and if you are too far away from their location for pick up, do not send money online.
It would be sweet if it was true, but unfortunately scams happen.

this is what you live by when it comes to buying on the internet
the thing about craigslist is its a classifieds... buy local, have the phone in your hands and test it before you do anything... use cash... and have a paper trail (personal contract/agreement) of some sort to cover your ass
as far as craigslist goes, if you are not buying local then i would stay away...
Hi i want to buy the nexus one off this site http://www.cellplususa.com/ but idk if its creditable site or its a scam. I can't find any info from it and I found the site on craiglist. Have you had experience with this site and do you think I should buy? The phone there is only 450.
couldn't find anything on it at resellersratings.com so not so sure it's a legit site.
Here is my suggestion on this:
Ok, research shows that they have not been in business for long at all (like under a week or so).
For this reason, you won't find any information on them.
Are they reputable? Hard to say, but things that would keep ME from buying from them is that their website has absolutely NO contact information at all.
They also don't tell you if the phone is NEW, Refurbished or used. How they are selling them for so much less is beyond me because, as far as I know, Google is not wholesaling them to ANYONE. The only legit way to get it new is through Google's shop.
Just my $0.02...
Ebay is the way...
Hey Sasha
Buy it from Ebay and to make sure its a good deal - go with sellers using PayPal as the payment method.. And if you are lucky - You can actually make a good deal thru ebay...
Good luck... Its a cool phone - Nexus One kicks ass.. ;-)

Yeah i know its a awesome phone but ebay prices are more expensive than google!
lol "on sale" yeah ok.
DO NOT buy from there.
What does common sense tell you?
Tells me this site is 100% scam. I love the $10 COD option, though, with a same day delivery guarantee. Someone should test it out!
Sure... But..
The chance to find the phone to the same price as on the google-site will probaly not be easy.. Everyone wants to make money - so you can look everywere - You probaly won't find it anywhere to the same price..
You can make good deals on Ebay trust me..
But good luck with your search

Looks very much like a scam...keep your eyes on Ebay for (buy it now) deals that pop up every so often
Scam. End of thread.

Unless they're using the "loophole" someone else posted about to get the phone for $372 then reselling it for $450.
Do not buy that from that site.

Not enough of a profit margin to make it work TBH, and also, a pain in the but way to get their supply since they will have to get a LOT of people to open and account to get the phone just to cancel.
Either way, I say stay away.

Agreed. $79 is a relatively small price to pay for piece of mind.
If you guys missed this...
There were people in Hong Kong, one of the four countries (wait...Hong Kong is...whatever) got the head start, complaining that when they received their DHL package it was empty inside. So would there be any chance that some people took those phones and sell them damn cheap...?

Not sure about that, but like I said in my original reply, there is NO contact information on the site whatsoever, who would you call if there was an issue?
Also, if those people that had their go missing reported it, Google could Black-List the ESN's and they would be worthless.
SO not worth the risk...
I bought 2 phones from them
Back in Dec. I bought 2 iphones from cellplususa. I didnt have any issues, in fact im using the phone right now.
Hope that helps.

this post seems way to suspicious..first you're brand new member to xda, second you used too much punctuation, third you signed your name at the end hmmm
Hi Friends,
Any body tried this website cell2getdotcom. Gnote over there is 620usd plus free shipping and i have found a 25usd coupon as well. When i applied the coupon it was redeemed successfully, but i didnt go on with completing the order. Anybody ever bought anything from them.
I will call them in the morning to find out if they have any retail location. Google customer reviews are good and one customer was referring to a retail location in newyork.
Damn that's a good price. Lowest on Amazon is $699 right now. Tempted to pull trigger on this but still hesitant after returning my first gnote for screen issues. Let us know if you talk to them tomorrow...
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda premium
the review is somewhat mixed for the site :x but ppl do get the phone they ordered. some come in perfect, some are locked, some are refurbished etc... so it's a gamble i guess. But since the note is still quiet new now, chance for a refurbished phone is pretty rare i suppose.

Definitely post back, please. I'd do a pickup too. But from their online rep, I'd wouldn't be surprised by bait 'n switch tactics. Most of the "good" comments are obviously manufactured - eg
Nice company to do business with. I don’t do reviews too often but felt compelled to share my overwhelmingly positive experiences so far these past four purchases. I just want to let everyone know that if you like shopping the old-fashioned way, then this is the way to go, with these folks!

Be careful!
I don't like the website it seems like they have everything.
Be very cautious of NYC based electronics websites. Unless it's a B&H Photo or other recognized business.
PATIENCE is the key. We have nothing to lose and everything to gain by waiting awhile.
Prices will go down, Development will be more matured, Many more used devices to chose from. Maybe something new comes out that's better. I have never been an early adopter. I respect those who are and love being the first on the block. I have saved hundreds and had far less headache waiting a while. Just bought the wife's SGS II used for $400 with a lot of accessories chargers and batteries, I bought mine used, Warranty new was not an option in the US anyway, May as well buy from someone who made it work for them.
Probably buy a used Note as well.. in a few months or when I see used prices below $500.
I ordered through cell2get, after reading reviews I was nervous. Online it says nothing about being out of stock but after making the charge and ordering it I received an email thanking me for my order. About 2 hours later i received another email stating they were out of stock. The money is still "pending" and I have not been refunded yet.
Edit: After 5 days my money has been refunded to my account.
"Cell2Get is one of the Nation’s largest cell phone retailers and is generally regarded as offering the best contract-free phone deals on the web"
Orrrrr, they could be a crappy fly by night store in Brooklyn that I've never even heard of (I'm from the area). That quote was from their "about" page. Dishonest on the page, dishonest to the customer's face.
Yep, i was on the verge of placing my order until i read the reviews and changed my mind.
Got it on craigslist factory sealed last week for 670 cash. Probably the cheapest you can find
And don't forget to send the link to the cell2get price to convince the craigslist seller to drop the asking price Works like a charm
Or use that link for anyone who promises price matches.
Hey guys,
I have been a XDA lurker for a while. I am looking at getting the P6800. I seemed to have found a site that is offering to import it at a wholesale price. It all seems fishy to me but I figured I would see what all of you had to say...
Ummmmmm
I think that website is 100% authentic. I would jump on it before they are gone!
what is the site?
Exactly my point in my reply...
I have some nice land for sale in Florida .... great deal too...
Sent from my GT-P6810 using Tapatalk
So whats the name of the site? I got mine from one in Hong Kong at a really cheap price
I dunno, this seems a bit fishy. First post to XDA and asking for people to check out a website....Good thing they can't post links yet.

You could be right, it may be an employee looking to get people talking about there products or drum up some bushiness! But they did join in 2009.
But to be fair i very rarely post as I am not as well endowed as many on here (with the skills needed for dev work that is and I don't look forward to being flamed), i have bought my device from HK, quick delivery and having followed the guidance on another forum can confirm its genuine, Samsung accepted it on my product account, tested perfect and everything people ask. The one thing I did note was the description on the package for customs, again reading elsewhere, it may get held up but the owners of the website say there paying import duty, hope this helps.
Haha, sorry guy's being new I was only allowed to post every 5 minutes or something like that. Basically I got distracted...

at 230 bucks for a 3g model is probably too good to be true, this tablet probably costs more than 200 bucks to manufacture alone, so at 230 I doubt it. googling reveals this
http://www.scamadviser.com/is-buyingstore.co.uk-safe.html
Oh, yeah. That's gotta be bull****.
Its so tempting. I have thought about using my credit card so it would be easier to dispute the charges if fake.
It look just enough like amazon not to get sued
did you decide to order from here in the end?
There is a zero percent chance that that is legit. The price is way too low and I'm willing to bet they don't have a good way of contacting them.
It's not worth the risk. If you really want one then look for a more reputable site.
I am still waiting for my income tax return but I have decided that I will be going with a reputable source.
Thank you guy's for your input.
Agree its not worth the risk, thanks for the input.
Really like this device but cant help but hold out to see if the google tab becomes a reality
I may buy one from HK, I need the Calling features, and from HK they're about 600
I've purchased my last two Notes from www.networkingrus.com , I have to say it is one of the best, if not the best, online retailer that I have dealt with. Service is first rate, with excellent and fast communication and very fast shipping. Just wanted to throw that out there in case someone was looking for a great place to get one!

Because using "G's" is a marketing ploy. AT&T market's its HSPA+ network as being "4G" even though it's basically a refinement of "3G" UMTS.
So, to the average consumer, who doesn't know/care what the difference between "4G" and "4G LTE" is, they just think they're buying the latest and greatest.

Does look kinda fishy but it looks like they sell on eBay and Amazon too?
I know Negri electronics has rubbed some people the wrong way but I ordered my Note 2 from them on Monday afternoon and it arrived at my door in Vancouver on Tuesday morning.

Definitely not. He really is great to deal with. Just drop him an email and you will see. Very good communication and very fast.
I and a few of my friends have dealt with www.networkingrus.com. They are legite. Customer support is the best of the best. Check out their warranties also. Well worth picking up the accidental warranties. I've smashed 3 phones and it only cost me $25 each time to have them completely repaired.

Thanks for your introduction, If I want to buy, I'll think about it!!
Thanks for the link! Cheaper than ebay and amazon PLUS warranty! Looks like they'll be getting my business.
Why wouldn't you just get a new one from Negeri's eBay page for $679.50 with $13.59 back in eBay bucks? Net cost = $665.91. With a 14-day return policy?
Just curious. Of course, this assumes you are in the US.
From the site it's 669 for the note 2. So only marginally more than eBay. Plus I can add accidental warranty. I emailed the site with some questions about warranty and they responded at 1am their time within like 30 minutes. That deserves my business.
