[Q] Where to 'sell' kindle fire to upgrade to nexus 7? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Well... I already have a xoom on a custom ROM, the SGSIII and my girl has the fire. she really likes her fire honestly. but I'm almost positive she'll be happier with the nexus 7.
that being said, I was thinking of pre-ordering her a nexus 7 as a gift, then sell the kindle fire.
I know there are some websites that you can do an instant sale. Do you guys know the best site to utilize this? where I would get the most money?
maybe I'll try ebay and craigslist first, see if I can get little more, then do an instant sale thing...
and speaking of that, who else is going to nexus 7 from their fire?

See what Gamestop will offer you as a tradein on the Nexus. That 30 percent bonus sounds pretty sweet...

yes, but problem is they want 250 for the nexus 7, and you will probably get it later compared to from google itself. 250 for it when google sells it for 199? that's a HUGE difference!

Apples and oranges. Gamestop is charging $250 for the 16GB model, which Google is charging $249 + shipping for.
Only the 8GB unit is $199, and Gamestop does not sell that. Actually - only Google Play sells the 8GB version.

To answer your question, sell it on Craigslist if you've got the patience. No fees, no bidding, deal in cash, and once the deal's closed it's done for good.

Trying to sell a I/O tab question

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

The new google nexus tablet 7"

https://play.google.com/store/devices/details?id=nexus_7_16gb
available for pre order in uk! @ £199,,google playstore
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMQdfGFK5XQ
As the name suggests, the Google Nexus 7 features a 7" IPS display with a resolution of 1280x800 pixels. The tablet is powered by a 1.3GHz quad-core Tegra 3 chip with 1GB of RAM and 12 core ultra-low voltage nVidia GeForce GPU.
And despite the capable hardware, Google managed to keep the price of the Nexus 7 impressively low. The slate will come in 8GB and 16GB flavors, which will retail for $199 and $249 respectively.
The Google Nexus 7 comes with Wi-Fi a/b/g/n, Bluetooth and NFC connectivity and Google Wallet preinstalled. Sadly, there isn’t a 3G model available, but obviously keeping the price as low as possible was key here. That's also the reason there isn't a camera at the back, and only a 1.2MP front-facing snapper. However, it's capable of shooting 720p video, so it's not all bad.
Measuring 198.5 x 120 x 10.5 mm the 7-incher weighs in at 340 grams which is respectful for its size. The Amazon Kindle Fire and the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 will be having a hard time indeed.
The Google Nexus 7 is already available for pre-order in UK, US, Canada and Australia and should ship in mid July. You can follow this link to book your Nexus 7 unit.

I think I heard that there's not. It's a bummer for me; with so many new phones dropping microSD support, I was hoping to use my 32 GB microSD on the tablet.

It sucks money balls but they want you to go to the cloud with all your stuff. IT FLIPPIN SUCKS

Yeah, id have gladly paid £250 for one with sdcard slot
Ill probably still get one though
just want to share if its any good to anybody here!!nothing is perfect really,..some tablets are different form one another,,some are the ones your looking for..and some are not,,talking about memory,, its depends on who uses it really,,its your choice!!thanks....but for me not a bad price for the specs ,,considering the lack of memory card slot...thanks again,,,

I feel you...i have been literally checking daily on rumors the past few months on this tablet. Im very turned off by the lack of SD.
I imagined Google would do this in the spirit of the GNex and NS...im wondering if the Asus version due in Aug. will have expandable memory
Sent from my T989D using XDA Premium
i ordered one... for the price, IDGAF about storade space, i got the 16gb and it came to about 285 shipped. Thats an awesome price for hd screen, quad core processor, 12-core gpu, gps,etc. Im still amazed how they are profitable at that price. 16gb is more than enough for TRAVEL/ON THE GO. At home, you have FULL use of the cloud. On the go , I doubt you go through more than 16gb of media unless its a long trip and on long trips, u have wifi usually. I actually would have gotten the 8gb but figured 16gb is more desirable/will hold value longer. Be excited folks, i didnt think they would be able to do it. The sd slot was the BEST possible compromise, or would u have rathered to have sd but have a DUAL core, or 512mb of ram, or a 1000x600 screen or no gps etc.

The reason shipping isn't free is because Google is already taking a loss for these. I'm sure Bestbuy will have them, but will sell them for $230/$280 and you will have to force them to price match.

Are Amazon deals real?

I want to buy the Nexus 4 16GB and I found a good deal on Amazon: US$471 - Phone +Screen protector + case
I'm a little skeptical as it looks too good to be true, do you guys think I should take it up? Because I'm worried I'll get scammed
Sent from my Nexus 7
I don't see how that's a good deal. The 16GB costs about $360 (inc. shipping) at the Play Store and a screen protector + case shouldn't cost more than $10, so about $370 total. If it's not a scam, it's at least a ripoff.
I'd bet the deal is real cause Amazon's a pretty distinguished company but I'm positive the shipping time won't be ideal lol
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Yeah that is not a very good deal, buy from the play store and get accessories separate.

If the phone is sold by amazon and not a third party seller than you will be fine, amazon wont scam you. that's a pretty good deal if the play store doesnt sell the Nexus 4 in Singapore.
One downside is that you cannot contact google for warranty exchange, you will have to go through LG and maybe even only US LG warranty center if you buy a US Nexus 4. With LG you have to ship your defective phone and wait a few weeks but with google they will ship out the replacement and you ship back the defective one once you get it.
Do you know if google is planning on selling the Nexus 4 in your country? if they are i would wait or even play a bit more to get it through google.

[Q] Buy 32gb Nexus 7 Now, or wait for next one?

Hey guys have a question. Ive been wanting another 7" tablet for awhile now and the Nexus 7 has always been at the top of the list. And just as I was about to finally get it all these rumors and announcements of the next nexus 7 come out. As you all know Staples has the 32gb on sale right now for 199, and theres a coupon code to get another $30 off. I have one on hold and reserved for me at my local Staples. So I am trying to decide if I should wait or buy now. If its true that the new one will be 299 as some rumors speculate, then the price difference between the 2 is about $140. As far as what I need in a tablet it would be pretty basic. Games, emails, web, etc. I dont need a camera, or LTE. So theres not much of a difference between them for what I need it for. One of my main concerns though is all these people talking about the performance drops, boot issues that some are having. But I also read that it might be just the 16gb version that are having issues. So anyway I figured here is a good place to ask to get some good info and advice. TIA.
Actually my 16 gb n7 performs quite good. But wait for next one.

Well it depends on you, the new nexus will have a snapdragon s4 quad core and 1080p also, and the 16gb I believe will start at $250 but correct me if I'm wrong. I have a 32gb WiFi and it runs like a champ. That sounds like a good deal for $170 as I got my 32gb for $250 so good luck on your choice.......rumor is Taiwan will get the new nexus 7 at end of month so you could check the web to see if you like or not!
I had a 16gb and its was laggy, but I decided to get the 32gb version when I broke the 16gb and got my square trade payout. The 32gb has been great, its stable, fast, and don't even have any light bleed.

Let's look at the facts. The new gen it's probably coming next week, but, if the rumours are true, it should be a little mre expensive, starting at 229$ aprox. If i were you, i would wait and see, and if the new Nexus it's worth the price, i would grab that one.

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€...

The 16GB Wi-Fi version will be available for purchase at $549.99 / €408 while the 32GB Wi-Fi version will be priced $599.99 / €445. Both versions can be ordered directly from Samsung or Best Buy, Amazon or Walmart and others.

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.

Please don't post if you can't bother to format or spell correctly.
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.
