Trying to sell a I/O tab question - Galaxy Tab 10.1 General

Just curious what some of you think a good price for a used I/O tab might be.
It has two very small marks on the screen but is otherwise in Grade A condition.
I've had trouble selling it on eBay for what I think its worth and am afraid to let it go for too little.
Any opinions?
Anybody want to buy one?

What was your starting price? I would do Buy it Now for $400. Should sell quick. Or google ebay fee calculator and see what the buy it now price has to be to get $400 after ebay/paypal fees.

For a used, non-supported device? I was just in Costco and with rebate you can get a new 16GB for $429. MicroCenter was selling them a week ago for $350. The I/O has no collectable value so I'd guess $275-300 would be a reasonable expectation. Keep in mind that new Aconia's, K1's, and Thrive's are all selling for $299 this holiday season at various retailers.

I guess I was shooting a little high, guess I'll have to lower my expectations.

Plus woot had refurbs for 319 a few days ago for the standard 10.1 tab.

I have an I/O tab and would def take it over an standard tab anyday. Also its 32gb, 16gb tabs are just too small. I personally consider it a collectable, im sure there are others that do as well. If you have the box, etc you should do well, iMO

For something to be collectable there has to be scarcity. I've seen a bunch of I/O's on eBay and CL. You guys can list it for $600 or anything you want. The market determines value.

You can't sell it? Id rather have an I/O then the retail wifi one just cause that one looks cooler(to me) but I have the white back wifi so that might be why. So pissed best buy was out of grey when I got it.
Sent from my Droid using XDA App

I paid $600 which I thought wasn't bad since retail wifi 32GB was $599
I haven't gotten a bid over $460 yet.
Guess I'll just have to bite that bullet.

You have a 32 gig? Id trade ya for my 16 wifi. What's the difference with the io and retail I run task 7 so support doesn't matter.

Anything above $250 is too much IMO. Rather get a retail unit otherwise

Do galaxy tabs go on sale?

Hi everyone,
I've already asked a similar question concerning the Asus transformer tablet and now I'm wondering if the same applies to the galaxy tab. Basically, what are the chances of a decent discount price in the next few weeks before I return home to NZ? I'm located in Manhattan at the moment.

100$ for 16gigs of space? Rip off. They purposefully left the sdcard slot out to lure us into this cash cow just like apple. Samsung should know better. My phone has more gigs...and a faster, better processor at that! The tab still is the best honeycomb out there tho.
Sent from my GT-I9100
Consider it a "ripoff" if you want. For my thinking the only way to get the space is to buy it with the tablet. I'd rather spend $100 now than run short of space later.
Ha! Endoran, everywhere I see you posting, you sound like a toolbag. Are you a teenager?
My phone has 40GB of space. But, it doesn't have a Tegra2, and I doubt yours does as well.
However, the GTab 10.1 rocks, with Task's ROM. Who cares how much storage is local? Storage comes and goes. I have servers with 32GB of RAM and terabytes of disk. Yet 16GB onboard is more than sufficient for my tablet.

bought my 32gb from best buy cuz it was an open box (a return) for $525 couple days before christmas.
They have them at walmart for 400 witch is less than I paid

AT&T N1 for sale

I thought I'd see if anybody on the forums would want this before I post it on Ebay. It is 850/1900/2100 version (AT&T), not refurbished, only one owner (me), WAS NEVER rooted. It has always had a screen protector and case on the device, since the first day I received it. The ONLY flaw with this is some scratches on the screen protector. The actual screen is still in 10/10, perfect condition. I'm not quite sure what else to put... I've never sold anything on the forums before. I guess if you need any additional pictures and such, just PM me?
Inside the box:
1-Original box
1-Nexus One phone
1-Original battery
1-Original 4GB Micro-SD card
1-Original headphones (never used)
1-Original Nexus One Android case
1-Original manuals

300$ for the nexus one is overpriced got mine for 150 euro`s nowadays i can easily get a one x , s2 and galaxy nexus for 300-400$ its gonna be hard to sell but good luck
I'm located in the Los Angeles area in California, USA.
selling for $180 with a rough estimate of $15-20 for shipping in THE U.S. ONLY.
International buyers will pay for a different shipment amount as I think it will cost more along with insurance if you want that. I'm trying to stay clear of International buyers, because of bad past experiences.
Payment method I will only accept is PayPal.

They usually have em round $315 at least once every 2 weeks or so.

"Refurbished" is derived from the Greek for "...someone else's broken stuff".
Used tablets are like used underwear. It may wash up nice but I can never forget it's had someone else's ass in it.

I do not see it always bad to buy used or refurbished. But you really should think.
New for 32 gb 499.99 average price retail with 1 year warranty
Refurbished 32 gb average say 410.00 no warranty add 50.00 for hard to get them to pay warranty $460.00 if no shipping can
Save you 40.00 or gamble it will not break
So my honest well thought out opinion is spend the extra 40.00 plus buy good premium drop protection warranty.
Can save you money in the future.
Good luck

While I would have liked to have seen it come in at $499 and $549, I agree that $549 isn't unreasonable.
I don't understand, when it was thought to be $499, EVERYONE was like " oh yeah, it's mine" and "take my money" but all of a sudden it it $50 more expensive and everyone is like "oh hell no, no way Samsung you aren't going to rip me off"
Doesn't make much sense to me that $50 would make that big of a deal but hell what do I know. All I know is I still plan on getting it!:good:
Yeah, I would have obviously been happier with a lower price point. But when the new Nexus 7 came out and it had a small price bump, it was a pretty reasonable thing to do. I'll definitely be getting one at release.
Yes I was expecting 499$ too .... What a shame, I'm still getting it tho

Couldn't agree more.
This was never marketed as a budget/low-cost tablet. This is the (as far as I know) top-of-the-line Android tablet for the foreseeable future. I'm pleased to see it start that low. Heck, I know that's already a lot cheaper than the Note 3 I bought, lol.
If they will do the convert Dollar -> Euro, in italy the note will cost 449€.
But i think they will sell this at 599€...

Well the comparable closet high Android tablet is Sony Xperia Z Tablet with S4 Pro quad core CPU and 2 GB ram and only 1080p display which is selling for £399.
Note 10.1 on the other hand has better CPU, more RAM, better (or at least sharper) display and Wacom digitizer, I can't see how can it could be same price or cheaper then Sony.
It's pricey but that's this the only android tablet with pen function, so we don't have the luxury for shopping around for cheaper price.
The same reason old Note 10.1 never really came down in price.

This price does indeed suck. Samsung seems to overprice and make us wait for sales. Problem is that online purchases will be taxed soon inside the us. The note 8.0 was priced 399 us dollars at launch but can be had on sale or refurbished at 299 and below which isn't too bad. 499 and I probably would've just bought it at Newegg right away but I'll wait on reviews and some custom roms first. Hopefully someplace will have it for at least $449 tax-free before the stupid Internet tax hits.

You're probably right but don't ya want it TODAY!
I've heard some folks have been able to get Best Buy to price match Newegg. Actually shouldn't be too hard as this is only 6% discount. In any case, right now Amex is offering $25 credit on statement if purchasing anything over $250 from Best Buy. Thus if you get BB to price match and put it on an Amex card, you are basically getting this for $304 (plus applicable taxes.)
10% off on Newegg for tablets
Gave me $33 off the new $329 price.
$296 free shipping :good:
Here's a bad sign. I had a white G Pad that was sitting in my shopping cart on Newegg. When I went to the website and put another item in the cart, I got a message saying that they were removing the G Pad because they had insufficient stock. Looks like the black model is still available.
So, this means that the G Pad is now available at 11/2 retailers in the US, and basically, it's only available online and not in B&M stores. Another indication that LG is pulling the plug. I'm puzzled about why they seem to introducing it in other markets while they're abandoning it in the US, though. Mysterious.

Still showing in stock but the price has been bumped back up to $349.99 and no more free shipping. Maybe they're selling well enough to cut the discount now.

Not available at B&M stores? That is absolutely false. The eight (yes 8 ) closest Best Buys to me have it in stock.

I should have said barely available at B&M stores. In my area, half the stores have a few units in the cage where nobody can see them. None of the stores have them on display.
I didn't see that the white unit was still showing up on Newegg, but apparently it is. The fact that they're raising the price going into Black Friday suggests to me that they are running out of inventory. None of this is good news.

I just noticed that Newegg has now raised the price on the black one back up to $350, too.

Yes, they did back to $349. I really want to buy this tablet, but there something telling me not to buy it, such as cases, battery life, updates...
The Smart Case advertise on their website is nowhere to be found nor any body know it will ever being sold. But it's a good tablet, I might want to wait until Christmas to see if the price goes down...

The HP Slate 8 pro with the tegra 4 is out now, 329.99. I'd consider it but I fear development, or lack thereof, will be the same as the gpad.
Off to do some research.

Hmm, I hadn't looked at this one before you mentioned it. Looks like it has 4:3 ratio (which some people prefer). One other issue is that it only has 1 Gb RAM which will probably affect the performance. Still might be worth a look.
With any luck, we'll start seeing some more 8" options in the coming months. Maybe some of them will make a better attempt to sell their devices than LG has.

The 4:3 is most likely a deal breaker for me. I've spent some time with an iPad mini and the aspect ratio just felt weird, probably because I haven't had a 4:3 ratio anything since the old computer monitors.
Regarding the RAM, some reviews I've read claim 1 GB and others claim 2, not sure why the discrepancy but it's a moot point after the screen ratio.
I'll probably just wait until the 8.3 goes on sale again somewhere. Hopefully there'll be another competitor in this screen size by that time.

I'm kind of thinking the same thing. I might pick up a cheap substitute (Nexus 7, e.g.) and wait for a decent 8" device to come along. It might turn out the the problem with the G Pad is just production shortages. If that's the case, then they may lower the price and get them out to more retailers when they are able to produce enough devices. If that doesn't happen, I'll look for something else. I'm just not ready to buy a G Pad until there are enough people owning one to make a community.
Just ordered one tonight.They had them on sale with a promo code for 50% off.Can't beat it for 174.99.Had a Note 8 and sold it.Got a ipad air.Missed having a Android tablet.Think I will return the Air now that I got the G Pad.
