Anyone ever seen the commercials for this site? I've seen them a lot late night so o figured for fun, I'd check what a basically perfect Nexus One was worth...

What a rip! They offer you $59 for a Nexus One in great condition with all original accessories.
You can still get upwards of $180 on eBay..
Just felt like posting this, I thought that was outrageous.
Agreed. They probably sell it back through ebay making at least double the amount.

It is outrageous. Especially because if you look on ebay, they sell extensively there. They also are always the ones charging the greatest prices or highest minimums on ebay.
They're like GameStop for phones. They might as well be called PhoneStop.
Just playing Devil's Advocate here a bit as I do agree, $59 is outrageously low *BUT* when my contract came up with AT&T a few months back, I bought a white iPhone 4 32gb to sell on Ebay and had to relist 3 TIMES before I got a successful bid. One of which I actually sent the device out, Paypal revoked payment and I had to get UPS to intercept the phone that was already 'out for delivery'.. by the time it was all said and done, I sold the phone for $250 over what I payed for it, but after the 1st shipping fiasco, getting eaten alive by Ebay's fees, and just the general pain in the ass, I made like $50.. I will never use Ebay again. So, long story short, if I wanted an easy, painless transaction I just might take that $59 and be done with it.. but i would never sell my N1 anway

yeah ebay is my last resort if craigslist fails me I might try gazelle in the future, just maybe if other people havent sold on ebay before, here it goes someone bids an auction for X dollars the paypal that their cut for providing the transaction then ebay towards the end of the month then bills you a precentage of what you sold. Ebay is great for buyers but if your not moving bulk it kinda sucks to sell there I typically will overcharge on shipping so that I dont lose much and shouldnt I be paid to drive this thing to the UPS store anywhos

Be careful...they use to be called "Exoticphones.com"
I'd be careful too...
How can they offer a discount with an ATT plan????
Seems suspicious to me...but good luck if you go with it!
Im only guessing here but I bet a phone vendor could sign you up for ATT with any phone, like an iPhone. Then turn around and sell that iPhone at retail to another person. But give you the 2 year discount on the Note.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Vendor signs you up for a new 2 year contract with at&t. They choose iphone 4s as your new phone. They keep the 4s and sell it for like $600 bucks. They are then able to offer you the note for $599
I would cut the middle man out and just do it yourself if you don't already have an at&t contract or are not in upgrade status.
Just odered with overnight shipping. Will let you guys know how it goes. Im beyond excited!

Did you order for $599, or did you do the contract? If legit, the contract is very tempting.

The contract is only $200 cheaper. If you instead extend your contract with buying an iphone 4s, you'll come out far ahead. You'll pay $200 (instead of $400) and you can sell it on ebay for $600 at least then use that money for the Note. So in effect the iphone route is at least $200 cheaper for the same end result. That is assuming this is legit, and ignoring ebay fees (use craigslist.)

I also just called them up. I work in NYC and they seem to offer local pickup, so what better way to see if they actually have it in stock then to walk over there...The person that answered said it was out of stock and due back in, in about 2 weeks.
When I pressed for a more specific date, he just said he wasn't sure, but about 2 weeks.
...All kinds of red flags here.

Thanks. I was partially looking at it as a convenience issue (not having to deal with reselling, no fees, no uncertainty of what it ultimately sells for), but you're right, $200, or even $100, is a big chunk for convenience. But ultimately, it's not very convenient if "electropirise" screws you over.

is $399.00 with a contract. so add 95 to that?

This is a pretty good deal -- except no way to get warranty. Expansys USA has a great reputation on resellerratings.com.

Watching this thread since I wouldn't advice anyone to order anything from that website and I'm really curious to see if they will deliver.
There's another thread discussing the website that OP bought the phone. Always use the search button.
Just wanted to make everyone aware that Amazon is selling Notes for $660 shipped. That is the cheapest I've seen ANYWHERE on the web. I picked one up today through amazon, fulfilled by the oem shop.
Hopefully I'll get a new unit that hasn't been opened.
Yesasia.com has it about $650. I only bought small things from the site,yet I feel it does business alright.

Dang, Expansys-USA is up to a whopping $779.99 for theirs.
Hey everyone,
Bargain shopper here and have always been looking at slickdeals.net for deals on electronics. Rarely do I buy electronics full price (frugal mentality I suppose, and possibly a bad thing). Nonetheless just looking for opinions, what do you all think? Thanks for any input
I doubt it, the Nexus 7 is being sold at cost price and Google is subsidising the cost of marketing the device themselves - and probably also giving ASUS more money so that ASUS continue to make a profit.
It costs ~$200/~$250 to MAKE the device. Isn't that the cheapest price you'd be able to find anywhere for any item?
We've already had them here for £189 delivered reduced from £200 plus delivery so there should be some margin.
However the Pound is greater than the USD, so your £200 is approx $310... (right?)
I wouldn't expect to find the Nex7 cheaper until there have some some refurb units. I've seen the Fire go as low as $140, but that was about six months after its release. Until all orders are filled, and there is a decent surplus, i would expect prices on ebay to be greater than or equal to what you would find on the Google Play store or in most other retailers.

£159 + 20% VAT = £199

Surprise! http://slickdeals.net/f/4837912-7-1...a-3-Quad-Core-CPU-Pre-order-234-Free-Shipping
Read the wiki for direct link to add to cart
Worked like a charm thanks for the input! BTW -- for others taking advantage of this opportunity, don't forget to use the coupon code: JULY4, which will knock $15.00 off the sale price of $249.00. And, of course, no sales tax, unless you live in the state of New York.
And opt for the standard UPS shipping, $1.29 to where I live, because the free shipping delivers it to a post office near you and you got to go pick it up.
Now, I'll have to call Google Play and cancel my pre-order.
ahh I cant wait to get this tablet, last week I was about to buy the kindle fire untill i saw the ads of the nexus 7

Just got this deal too! Amazing! But the previous link is dead. here is the new link:
http://www.jr.com/order/basket.jsp?...Hash=0a2ace30df7d42028f38788bbc64e14d7ffee550
Don't forget the July4 promo code!
Also, the free shipping uses UPS to ship to your USPS post office, THEN Usps delivers to your door. It happens all the time buying from amazon. Just sucks if your mailbox is too small. Then USPS will leave you a slip to go pick it up.
I was going to pre-order from gamestop today, GLAD I WAITED!
OH! Also note: They will only ship to paypal confirmed addresses, so if your address isn't confirmed, you will have to pay with a credit card and manually type your Shipping info.
ALSO: If you use a MASTERCARD credit card (not debit) They will not charge you until it ships. So A) no balance as of yet, and B) when you are charged you know they shipped.
Do this now! Because they already took the Nexus 7 off their main page! Only a matter of time before they fix this link too!
20% off coupon
This is Office Max in-store coupon for 20% off; it includes tablets and eReaders. Of course, Office Max may not be near everyone, but you can try price matching with Staples, Office Depot, Best Buy in-store.
If in-store doesn't work, you can always try through phone order or online chat. I got the 32gb one for $215+tax through Office Depot chat online (rep didn't let me get the 16gb since Office Max website doesn't show the 16gb one).
Used the same coupon and picked up a 32 gb for $233.89 after tax. Good deal! But OM seems to be OOS around orange county, heard they will get new shipment Monday.

Going to try in a little bit. Will report back but I see no reason why this doesn't work/ Also, living in Florida, computer products are tax free this week for back to school. Other people I have come across have reported that tablets fall under this category, which makes sense.
Damn, nearest office max is 40miles away. Had one been closer I would have bought anew 32gb and return my staples 16gb -$30 coupon.

$215.99, final price. Quite the savings! Going to return my 16gb best buy one later today.
Very nice! I wished it was tax free in CA. I also bought OM protection plan for 2 years. Anyone have experiences with OMs protection plan? Debating if I should cancel it. The girl that worked there said I can return the tablet in any condition within 2 years and either get it replaced or refunded full amount with a gift card. Sounds too good to be true.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
You should see if there is a deductible and whether it covers lost/stolen and physical damage.
$54 off is amazing. I would jump on it before OM decides to exclude certain devices or cancels the coupon. I paid full price at Amazon the first day it went on sale (Friday). Paid $300 for Saturday delivery. Returning it and buying locally would be lucrative. I wonder if Amazon will price match if I call them. Tell them I'm within my 30 days and I can save $54 if I go through the hassle.
Hmmm.
I sent them an Email saying that I am within my return policy and would like to see if they would Price Match the coupon. I linked the coupon and the a image of the scanned receipt. We shall see.
Just took the coupon up to Best Buy to see if they'd price match a refund since I bought mine on Friday, and they did. I walked out with $49 cash in my pocket. Thanks OP!

Got mine from BB last week and used a GC for part of the purchase, called them up and they said they do not price match post sale.
But are you saying if they did give a refund from a price match after sale....and you used a gift card for part or all of the purchase.....you only get $10 back?
I also thought the salesman at BB told me when I was completing the sale, said "You can not return for refund, you can only return for exchange."
Of course it sort of went in one ear and out the other as I thought to myself....why would I think of returning for a full refund.

$299 is better than $349. For some reason my shipping, even one day shipping chosen, is on Monday September 20 instead of friday the 17th through amazon as well. But for $50 I can wait a weekend. Add in the Samsung $200 promotion on my Note 2 and you get the phone for $99.00. You can't beat that.

17th, 18th, 21st, honestly those few more hours or days are meaningless. If it is worth $50 to some to get it on the 17th for sure, god bless them. I am fine either way, even though I plucked down the extra $3.99 for one day shipping. I may change even that. To each their own though. I bought the Note 4 for a myriad of reasons, but the main one that I am looking forward to is the VR headset by Oculus/Samsung which uses the Note 4 as its brains and screen. THAT is the real game changer among the new cell phones this year. There is not nearly enough attention to how big that will be. And that doesn't come out until November sometime. So I am fine with my Note 2 a few extra days.
My Note II + $398 = Note 4 + Samsung Gear VR.

Ok... Pre-ordered. BB will give me the $200 for my ancient LG Optimus (heh heh). Here's my gripe... I was told I would have to pay the tax on the full price... $799 =$80... Arrgh. Total out of pocket = $164.
hmmm. BB told me specifically they don't charge tax on the full amount but only on the $299
Lost my Note 2 back in August and have been waiting... using my Epic4G since and its killing me,lol.. And no one wants a trade in for the Epic.. :crying: Guess I'm shelling out the 299 if I want to play, unless I can wait for a few more weeks and see if I catch a deal on Amazon AFTER release.

I hope that's the case. Maybe the SR was wrong. Doesn't even seem legal.
I'm really surprised if BB matches Amazon on cell phones, since on their price match page it states:
Our Low Price Guarantee does not cover:
The online prices of retailers not listed
Contract mobile phones sold by any online retailer
put 50 down for two lines on my account, wife wanted white while i picked black. Luckily bestbuy agreed to take 2 ZTE avids i had bought off ebay for 10 bucks each for the $200 trade in .
While this wasn't my first (or even second) choice of device this year, but it seems it will be the best one available and will be my first 'Note' device. Will be fun to see if there is anything new dev wise.
I'm stuck, do I do the best buy deal and get phone for 99 bucks BUT have to pay for their geek squad protection plan 11 bucks a month for 24 months (+$244) or do I wait and hope Costco gets it, pay 299 for it but only have to pay 99 bucks for protection plan that has no deductible so $400 up front? What do you guys think?

It really depends on the state / tax jurisdiction you live in. California, for example, requires retailers to charge the sales tax on the full retail price prior to discounts / subsidies. Other states may only require tax on the final amount paid to the customer.
