[Q] Overprice for countries can't buy from playstore? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Guys,
I read in countries those can't buy nexus 4 from play store (Italy, Austria, Sweden, Netherlands and others) it will cost about 550 euro for the 16gb version! It's a theft!
Any information about this? I can't believe Google does this!

Sure they weren't meaning the listings on ebay? I was seeing an insane price on them. I think I saw $599.99[USD] or $699.99[USD] for the 8GB one :/

Sure.. They were meaning the official price in shops and important site as amazon and others.. It should costs 350 euro for the the 16GB, instead it costs more than 500 euro also on German amazon.. I'm confused.. I hope these will be stupid rumors

Actually, it isn't Google's fault.
LG is responsible for that price...

You made me happy for 10 minutes until I realized that's the price excluding VAT. Including if I can omit that VAT thing somehow if I purchase in another country in the EU.
A few Danish online stores state their price as being around £370 ex. shipping but incl. sales tax. Like shopitonline.dk has it listed at 3354 Danish kroner, which is ~£368. I don't know their expected shipping date or if they ship outside Denmark. But I can ask if people want to know.
Regards.
I pre-ordered at unlocked-mobiles.com for £429.89. Not sure if is the cheapest but a lot cheaper than what stores take in Sweden and UK gets the phone earlier as well.

You can get phones with a contract for much less money then when you buy them seperate

Be careful with that 16GB - AFAIK they are only available via network operaters, so this may be an 8GB model with an 8GB card.

They only ship to Germany, but I'm sure they'd make an exception if we made a larger order. 459€ is a lot less than the 650€ I have to pay here.

[Q] nexus 7 $199 outside US region?

Anyone know that when Google sale Nexus 7 outside US region, the price still on $199 8G and $249 16G?
any timetable, when will be release sale outside US region ?
In Canada the Nexus 7 is selling for $209 for 8GB and $259 for 16GB.
I think think so, depending on location and currency from each country. There's also shipping charges and tax if your country charge tax.
Questions go in the Q&A section
in Australia its $249 for 8gb and $299 for 16gb. kinda stupid since our currency is on par with the US currency, but aside from that i cant complain.
Its not for sale in china.So sad,but there is a market called taobao,about ¥1700 today.

Let's keep this thread going with reports as the other former British colonies get their roll out and then the Euro folks as well. It would be good to also post any announcements for future sales as the global rollout happens. I dunno if I should wait for any Taiwan sales to start (Asus will sell them in their home I hope?!??!?) or pick one up when I go home to Canada in late August. The loose/misaligned/delamination of the LCD issue seems serious enough I don't want to bring it back to Taiwan and not have warrantee redress.

Australian goods and services tax is 10%. Assuming US$199/249 is tax free then Aus taxed equivalent is AU$219/275. Currently AU$1=US$1.02. Mmm....there seems to be a Google tax in there as well!

I had to go to an Asus depot here in Taiwan to get my notebook fixed. I asked if the N7 would ever come here. The woman said yes, maybe August or September. With the language barrier factored in, that makes me pretty confident we will see them here in Asia...maybe relatively soon...
If anyone is interacting with Asus staff, not just retailers, you should ask aggressively, not take no or "maybe" for an answer, and post here.

Best price for Nexus 2013 " Other than Google Play. "

I want the best place to buy Nexus 2013.. a trusted site.
I'm willing to buy the 16GB " 229$ " but google play doesn't accept my visa card because it was issued in Egypt and at Amazon it was 250$!
I searched a lot but couldn't find too much.. :/ I'll be importing it.. I want it for 229$ and free shipping no tax..
I really hope it'll be defect free.. I won't be able to return it :s
Got my 32gb from office Max for 233 including tax while they had the 20% off coupon. If you can wait, continue to look out for coupons to get a slick deal.

By importing do you mean to Egypt? I think you'll really have problems getting one shipped to Egypt for $229 total, and tax would generally be up your local authority.

Well thats what both came up i bought a 16gb but returned and the 32 came up to that price.
The 32Gig here costs around $283.xx with a 5.1% tax. Course its what I paid as well.

The 229 for the 16gb is before tax and shipping in many states, sales tax percentage differs from state to state and county to county, where some states don't charge a sales tax, and others do. I live in Chicago which is Cook County, and we have one of the highest sales tax percentages in all the US @ 10.25% so if I were to buy a 16gb from a local brick and mortar store it would cost me with tax, about 252.47...all depends where you are in the states....that said I ordered mine off Amazon the wkend right before the launch date, and mine came to be 238, as amazon doesnt charge tax yet in IL (I chose saturday delivery for 9 bux more with prime).

its standard to quote the prices before taxes. the reason is that some states have no tax (as mentioned) and the others all vary wildly as to what the tax rate is. quoting a price with tax would therefore be inaccurate for most...

I've bought a nexus 4 this Monday in the Media Markt in Ghent and it was 430€, though this was the normal price in Belgium. Since the price was dropped yesterday I felt quite cheated so I bought a new one from Germany. It will cost me 275€ in total (with shipping fees) and I will save 155€, which is quite significant! I've posted how I ordered the phone from German Google play on tweakers.

I got mine in march for 395€ in Aachen,Germany. I asked in a mediamarkt in Belgium why it is so much more expensive and he said it has something to do with taxes. I guess it is just MM who knows that some people dont qant to go to Germany or dont want to import a phone...

In Zwijnaarde. 400€ in march is reasonable, but the MM still hasn't changed it price in half a year. I know it was quite stupid to buy one there, but it was in my hands and wanted it badly. It's going back tomorrow and I hope they give me a voucher for it. My other nexus is being processed by google. Hope I get it quickly.

Didn't really looked for that as I don't need a bumper on my phone. They had a lot of bumpers, but it was the last nexus 4 in their stock, so I don't quite know.
Do you live close to Germany? If yes go there its much cheaper (€329 before the price drop). And if not see if the gas price for driving to germany is still cheaper than the price in Belgium!
Just find the nearest german media markt or saturn.

8 or 16 GB?
Because that's exactly what I paid when buying my 8GB N4 on the German play store.
Also, why do people drive to German stores from Belgium? Is it not possible to order it from the German play store into Belgium? Shouldn't be too much shipping costs within the EU, crossing only one border (certainly less than gas money). If there are any at all. Or does Google restrict this?
Anyway, I heard from other European countries, that the N4 is more expensive than in Germany there, which of course makes it even more expensive than in US stores.

Indeed, google restricts this. This monday I've bought a nexus 4 in belgium for 430 euro (570$ converted). But with the price drop I'm going to turn it back in. My new nexus will cost 275€ and is imported from Germany.
