Anyone planning on buying a warranty?

OK so I bought my nexus 7 thru staples yesterday. I usually don't buy store warranties but they suckered me into getting a 1yr warranty with accidental coverage for 40 bucks. He said as long as I don't activate it I can return it. Now I can say my nexus seems fine. No screen lifts or dead spots so I think I lucked out there. I'm just wondering if that warranty is worth holding onto. Will these notorious issues pop up later in ownership? I mean honestly its a piece of mind for like less then 3 bucks a month I guess.

No one knows. This is googles first tablet and I believed they rushed Asus to produce this in 4 months. Only time will tell.

Should have went with a Square trade warranty. They are doing a special right now where you can get 2 years accidental coverage for $40

Sweet didn't even think of them. Looks like ill go with that instead since both warranties have no deductible.

Nexus 7 at $215

Heard about this on another board...I'm not on the West coast so can't confirm it:
Google Nexus 7 16GB for $215 at Fred Meyer (B&M Only)
Pick up a Nexus 7 16GB for about $215 before tax at the local Fred Meyer. They are running a shopping pass promotion that allows 10% off home electronics and an additional $10 coupon off any combination of home electronics.
They are stackable
Here are the coupons:

t's B&M which stands for Brick and Mortar which simply means at the physical store location, not online or anywhere else, store only

Nice find on this deal..
Not often you find the device for less than what google is asking..
Sure wish I could find a good deal on the Galaxy Nexus.. so far straight from the Google Play is the cheapest available.

Ebay or Craigslist...

I have always heard some good experiences with ebay although I cannot speak on the amount of money you would get based on how you configure your sale. I personally always go for craig's list because it allows you to work out an arrangement that you both can agree on instead of settling. Works best if you use the built in auto forward email feature so that you do not have to disclose your email address to potential buyers and leave the possibility of being bothered later when the Nexus is long gone. Good luck!

Craigslist for me too, so I can deal locally and in cash. If you have a problem on eBay there's nothing eBay will do to help and you will be out either your money or the device...
I sold my HTC flyer within 2 days on craigslist. While there are still crooks on cl, by dealing locally and in cash, I've never had any problem. I also use the email forwarder and provide no personal details until I can smell that all is on the up and up...

I think eBay will get you more money as far as "hey, I sold it for $175" but then when you pay the fees and the shipping you end up with $125 in your pocket. Craigslist will give you cash instantly (no gaming playing with PayPal), and you will probably get more in the end if you sell it for less money.

Umm im not sure what u you mean by eBay won't do anything but I have had nothing but great experience selling on eBay. Ebay will totally stand behind you and make sure everything goes as planned. Of course u always run the risk of sum1 not paying but that's about it...

Yeah but its not like you'll be out of anything besides time. You don't send the product until they pay. Some jerks will bid on a item with no intentions to pay but its not like you take a loss financially. Ebay will refund all fees associated with listing the item if the buyer doesn't pay. But it does suck if you have to go thru the hassle of relisting it again lol.

I second this.

my vote goes towards Amazon. this is where i sold my Asus TF101.
and 2nd to Swappa.

I go craigslist. But if you use craigslist post a number if you actually want to sell. Myself and everybody I know skip over adds that don't post a number, when I actually want to buy something I want to talk to you now not wait for you to ignore my email because your to lazy to take 30 seconds and delete your add (which really is that easy from an android phone) after a sell like a previous reply implied.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I would try another tech forum like Hard OCP or Anandtech or similar. Both have established markets with few incidents. Make sure the user can verify themselves, uses Heatware, etc. If that failed, I'd try Craigslist, meet publicly, cash-only, etc. The hits from either Paypal or Ebay alone is OK but NOT both. I only sell things on ebay if I know I can't sell it elsewhere (needs bigger market, niche item).

What the best insurance for nexus 7?

And screen protector!

With the price being as low as it is, there's not really a 3rd party insurance that is worth the trouble. If you can get one from say bestbuy, where you get the bestbuy protection plan, its one story. They'll let you get a replacement right off the shelf with no waiting. These 3rd party insurance plans are more expensive to begin with, and they make you mail your hardware half way around the world turning it into a 2 week ordeal to get an issue fixed. The headache of dealing with the insurance company only over the phone and through emails and the longer wait just isn't worth it for something that you can buy for under $200.

The only one I found from Best Buy online was a16gb. It was on "sale" for $279 (I believe) . To make it even better, it was through a 3rd party business. SKETCH!
Walmart has a 2 year replacement plan for $28. Can't beat that.

I just got my nexus yesterday from Walmart, and like the poster above me said, 28 is the best deal you're gonna get. Don't believe that Sold out crap. If you can buy and pick up at the store, they have it. If you're calling the store, they're just gonna tell you it's sold out without checking. Happened to me all day yesterday.

Go through Wally World online. Yeah it might not make it in time but worth the wait. I got my 32 for $249 which wasn't horrible but I was sold on the replacement plan that covers just about anything. And besides, Walmart takes just about anything back.

Squaretrade+case
50 dollars for 3 years of accidental insurance+12 case. Pretty good imo

Squaretrade accidental 2 year policy. It does not cover lost devices but will cover damage with no deductible and a 5 day turnaround. They also hand out coupons like candy so the plan i got was roughly 35 dollars. Which is cheaper than some premium cases. Best option imho

Just itemize it under your homeowners or renters insurance. $200 coverage prob runs about $15 / year depending on who you are with.

I prefer to buy my electronic devices through Best Buy because of their insurance coverage (went through 3 DINC2's and didn't pay a penny to replacr) but they weren't selling them in my area. I ended up buying mine at Office Depot. Insurance was about $70 which I think may be a little too much, but it covers EVERYTHING.

MK808 Android 4.1 OS dual core

I just found this on ebay. 13 USD, seller with over 700 sold items and 100% positive feedback. There are also similar offers for 12-15 USD.
What do you think. It looks suspicious to me, but I will probably try it.

We're writing to let you know that this listing for an item you won or bid on is no longer available:
221180672235 - NEW! Android 4.1 OS TV box mini pc DDR3 1G 8G+Air Fly Mouse
We understand this may be disappointing, but occasionally we need to remove listings. In some cases, the item itself is fine, but was listed in a way that didn't follow eBay's guidelines.
Here's what you can do next:
-- If you already paid, received your item, and you're satisfied, please disregard this notice.
-- If you won the item but haven't paid, don't pay. Since eBay removed the listing, you're no longer obligated to go through with the transaction.
-- If you already paid for this item through eBay, and it's past the estimated delivery time, you can open a case in our Resolution Center. Click the link below, and select the "I haven't received it yet" option. This will guide you through the process of opening a case.
http://resolutioncenter.ebay.com
If the seller offers you the item outside of eBay, we strongly discourage you from accepting the offer. These types of transactions are extremely risky and aren't covered by eBay buyer protection programs.
If you didn't pay through eBay or PayPal, and:
-- You paid by Western Union or MoneyGram, contact the company directly (Western Union 800-325-6000 or MoneyGram 800-926-9400).
-- You paid by check, contact your bank to stop payment.
Thanks,
eBay
