I was on the Swappa site thinking I might purchase a Nexus 4 for less than retail but noticed the price is way higher than the retail for 16gb version ($349.00) on the Play store.
Why is this?

should be in q and a
Sorry about that, can I move it?
My guess would be people who can't purchase the device because it's not being sold in their market are driving 3rd party sales prices up
$350 before taxes and shipping. In my state that comes out to like $390.
Also a lot of those may have been put up when the phone was out of stock.
They put what they want to ask on there, so it's on them if the phone doesn't sell.
Might as well get one from the play store. It's cheaper there.

I live in the UK and want to buy a S4, but in Phones4U and CarephoneWarehouse it costs around £500 but on eBay and Amazon it costs around £450, what's the difference between them?

Buying locally would be better. You never know whether the phone sold at ebay or amazon are real or fake or maybe even blacklisted.

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.

Wait til Amazon gets more in stock. Right now only third party Amazon sellers have them and they mark them up. I bought mine direct from Amazon for the $229.

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.

In america, when you guys are quoting prices, such as $229 for the 16gb, is that before tax? If so, how much does it actually cost after tax?

Some well managed states like Oregon have no sales tax. $229 would be your final price.

That's still cheaper than here, 16gb is £200, about $300
32gb £240, about $370
I think anyway, it sounds too steep to be true. . .

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.

Hey guys, just letting you know that Best Buy is giving out $25 Google Play Credit & $15 Gift Card with the purchase of a Nexus 7.
They will also price match Office Depot which is $40 cheaper than Best Buy.
I went out and bought one, they didn't the Wi-Fi one in stock, so they handed me 32GB Wi-Fi + LTE one.
Office Depot price last until 12-28 though.

I bought mine 10 days ago and had them price match Office Depot at $229. Went back last night for the gift cards and they wouldnt do it. They said they could either price match it, or get the gift cards, but not both.
Got mine yesterday with the gift card and GP credit and went back today (glad I read this thread) and they priced matched it. So I walked out the door with the tablet and Google sleeve ($30) for $277 post tax and $25 in GP credit. Not too bad.

I would give it a try... Just ask for a price match if you bought it from best buy. Also most retailers will price match other competitors. Plus best buy had an extended exchange policy until January 15 th.

I called the store manager about getting this, I never got through. Twice disconnected and the person I did speak to, said they would not honor the $15 if $100 spent because I already got the price match. I explained that would be fine if there was a promo specifically on the N7, but its got nothing to do with it, its on amount spent, and I spent way more than $100.
No.
So I said what about the Google promo with the N7, its with google, not Best Buy per se. She went to ask the manager, 10 minutes later *click*.
I call back, she transfers me to the manager,..........*click*

I got mine deb at thanksgiving and only got the $25 gp credit. The credit comes from Google. When I bought mine from best buy. I got an email for the gp credit. It was part of the checkout. Maybe better to order online.
