Australian Nexus 4 price if I trade in my Nexus S?

As the title says, I was wondering how much the Nexus 4 would cost if I traded in my Nexus S at any store in Australia that would sell this beast.
The Nexus 4 that I want is the 16GB version which will be $400 in Australia, but could anyone give a rough estimate of the Nexus 4 price if I traded in my Nexus S for it?

Places actually trade phones here? Never noticed that... Anywho, if they did, I'd really doubt they'd give you too much off considering it's trade-in (my guess is as good as yours but don't expect any more than what you'd get by selling the Galaxy Nexus yourself). I mean take a look at game consoles, they have horrid trade-in deals and just aren't worth it unless it's really just collecting dust.
If you sold it yourself, you could probably sell one $200-$250 at the moment depending on how quickly you want it to sell. Maybe use that for an estimate on the trade-in price.

I agree to this previous post, I don't live in Australia but for us, european citizens, problematic is the same.
Google will sell the Nexus 4 for €350 including tax + approximately €10 S&H.
Some distributors are on this price, they are buying a new...new..new Nexus S without any defects €63.
Today, an average Nexus S can be sold around €150, €180 maximum.

Well for me, that's a fair price considering I'll get a lot of money for Christmas (Minimum $200) and that money + trading in Nexus S = barely any of my own money for the Nexus 4. And I know some stores that trade, otherwise, selling my Nexus S would be another option.

Hopefully it's not like an EB Games trade-in and you get $5 off the price of the Nexus 4 when you trade in six old phones and a bunch of accessories with it, too! Haha. Which store would you go to to trade it in, though? I can't think of any stores in Australia that would let me trade in my older phone for a better price on a newer one. I think Mobicity do it but they are just an online store.

My first choice is JB Hi-Fi, and because they have the SGS 3 and Nexus 7, the chances are that they'll sell the Nexus 4. If they don't do trades, I might still buy it but $400 is pretty expensive for me. I was wishing that it would be $350 like it is in America, but Australia almost always gets a more expensive price
My second choice would be at my local shopping centre and keep searching until I find the right store. If I can't find a single store that sells the Nexus 4 and accepts trades, I'll just sell my Nexus S.

I don't believe JB do trade-ins for phones (I know they do for games). And about the price thing, it's really not that much more compared to America. We have GST included in the shown price whereas they don't so you have to add their state tax (not sure on the percentage but it comes out to be pretty close).

Hmmm... I might ask JB Hi-Fi about the Nexus 4 price :/
Then my other two options are:
1. Sell my Nexus S
2. See if JB Hi-Fi (Or any other store) can do any offers

The price should be about the same every (~$400 for the 16GB version and ~$350 for the 8GB one). Anywho, good luck!

It's pretty much the same price everywhere (except for a few places over-charging compared to the Google Play Store). This web page has a list of availability which is probably reasonably complete: http://www.stockinformer.co.uk/checker-nexus-7-tablet
Some of the stores on that page are online only, but the majority have bricks and mortar outlets.

I figured out currys.co.uk but I wanted to know if there was any other site selling it at a lesser price.
Thanks anyway for the prompt reply. Appreciate it.

Argos is fairly good, got mine from there.
Also extremely easy to return to, no questions asked sort of place.

Check for currys voucher codes online...or Argos/HMV in store deals...Asda is aswell but 180-199 is usually the range anyways for 32 gb
Easy returns from stores

If you goto a Currys/PCWorld store then do NOT be fooled by their £20 off the 32Gb Nexus 7 because it's a con. Basically, it's £199, yet they say you can purchase ANY case (Their own wording) and get £20. Now if you can truly get ANY case then they sell £5 - £10 cheap phone cases so you get one of those and save £10 - £15, but it's not, it's buy any TABLET case and they start at £20. So you pay £20 and get £20 back, and their own proper Nexus 7 cases are £25, so you would be £5 out of pocket for a cheap plastic case.
This was in my own local super store, so yours may differ for offers + you might get a doofus serving you (like most Currys/PCWorld staff on commision) so you might be able to talk the talk.
You could also try a local Comet, they're shutting down their stores and they sell the Nexus 7, so you might see 20% off if you're lucky.
Good luck.

thank you guys..!!

Just seen my local 'Carphone Warehouse' has the 32Gb N7 for £195, they also had some cheap decent case/pouches from £6.
If there is a local Carphone Warehouse near you I would send your friend in there, hopefully they have stock left, and they are the cheapest for 32Gb N7 on the highstreet.

I agree with what John said, I ordered mine last saturday and by the monday or tuesday I had it £195 with free delivery too!

Got it ! Thanks!

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

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.

sometimes....

[Q] Availability?

First of all: I'm sincierly sorry to ask this question, but my recent finding destroyed my illusions of getting this phone.
Background story:
I found a person on ebay who is selling new, unopened, original Nexus 4 for real good price. I was like YES, I'm going to get it! Then I did some research and I found out that since the package starts from Hong Kong, it is checked by customs and that means no good. In Hungary the price is: The price of the phone + price of shipping + customs (3-12% of the earlier two combined) + 27% tax on the end result of the earlier 3 combined. It is CRAZY.
To work around this, I need the package to start from within the EU, because it means no customs and no 27% tax.
The question part
Can anyone tell me the cheapest and reliable place to get a new Nexus 4 from within the EU? And also it has to ship to Hungary, as my travelling options are very limited.
My maximum acceptable price is 280 dollars or the same value in any other money type. At the end of it's support it was cheaper than that at the play store so it has to be enough.
And once again: I seriously feel bad for having to ask this.

No idea but I think the used market is your best choice.
I bought a 16GB used Nexus 4 in mint condition still under warranty for 200€ 3 days in my country.
Surely you can find similar priced Nexus 4 on Ebay/Amazon?

It's probably just me, but I don't trust refurbished or used phones. Maybe I will have to change that in the future...

I feel you but as long as it has warranty and is in mint condition I don't see why not.
Besides I was on a tight budget aswell (200€) and had nothing as good as the N4 close to this price.
I also don't see how you will find a new Nexus 4 for sale because they aren't produced anymore and any N4 you might find will have atleast 1 year inside a box without any use, probably left on a wharehouse.
good luck though!

I don't like the fact that they are sitting in a warehouse, but I still trust it more than a used one.
Currently the best one I found is 312 dollars with the taxes. It's crazy.

Nexus 6p real price?

What is the real price of the Nexus 6p 64gb version + taxes and shipping to Florida("free")??
I want the phone, but it seems like the price is going to be almost the same as the Note 5

(Price of phone) x (sales tax) + (price of phone) + (free shipping)= price of phone. Should be easy to figure out.

Order phone from Huawei and there is no tax and free shipping. At least it was for me and I'm in new York.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Free mobile app

Well Florida tax is 7% if I'm not mistaken so the 64gb model is 549*7%+549=$587.43 total cost with free shipping. Let's not forget the $50 in GP credit if you buy it from google. It's still chepaer than a Note by a long shot. The 128gb model is still cheaper than most phones so its a steal for the 32 & 64gb models

You can just times it by 1.tax. So 549*1.07
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Free mobile app

What part of Florida. Sales tax depends on the county. Base sales tax is 6%, but some counties add extra. Alachua adds an extra 0.25%, Tallahassee adds 1%. Where I am in South Florida its 6%. Total for the 64GB should be:
$581.94
I bought a case with mine so if you're interested in that, $619.03 shipped.

If you can't afford and figure out the extra $30 for tax, then you really should save your money and not buy a new phone. Sounds like you have bigger problems.

No where near, this is a very simple calculation.
$549 x .055(sales tax, in my case 5.5%) = 30.20
$549 + 30.20 = $579.20 Nexus 6P shipped to my door.
Note 5 retail is at minimum $792 according to this quick search that I know is not the end all, but it's a good general idea. The Verizon site agrees with Android Central on the $792 price tag.
Nexus 6P will likely be at least $200 cheaper off contract.

He is saying that if 6p costs the same as note 5, then he might as well go with the note 5 since it is better device anyways

And has to have to live with Touchwiz.

I do have the money, but Im not sure for that price for a HUAWEI phone, I can buy a Note 5, is like $100 difference
Actually Im not in Miami, I live in Costa Rica, so I buy the phone, send it to Miami and they send it to my country, so Im going to pay another 13.5% more in taxes here... Isnt a big deal as you can see my signature Im a nexus fan, but the note 5 is about $650 here and the s6 edge 32gb $550...

They charge tax in Florida, as well as California.

Just add it to the cart in Google store... Does all the math for you.

This would have been good to know at the beginning of the thread.

I see why you may think you want the note 5, Huawei is Costa Rica is portrayed as a crap brand mainly because Costa Rican companies only import crap.
Huawei is huge in China but sadly the Huawei phones that have been imported in CR are the super lower end phones from that company.
Now, Samsung sucks really, not all the phones but as a whole brand they do. now, imagine you have only used the lower end phones from samsung, like the Duos. You would have an awful image (more than usual) of samsung as a brand.
I sometimes think that is why some iPhone users stay with Apple, they "try to move to android" but instead of getting a good phone they buy some cheap android phone and start saying that their iphone that costs x3 o x4 more is better...
Anyways, you should just get the Nexus 6p and stop worrying about it.

Already tried to preorder 2 Nexus 6p 64gb one frost white and another graphite for my GF but every time I get this: "Your order was declined because it was considered high-risk. Please try again in 30 minutes [BM-CPE-13]" i even tried again in 30 minutes like it said and it still did'nt work
However, my debit card will work on other things or stores(amazon, ebay etc), I have bought more than 5 phones for me and my family, friends etc, chromecast and tablets from google store before.
