Why doesn't Best Buy sell the Nexus 7 ?

My best friend has a $200 gift card burning a hole in his pocket since July, And loves my Nexus 7 and I keep telling him to wait because demand was so high eventually Best Buy will sell the NExus 7 but time has passed and its not looking that way.
What gives?

i actually called my loacl best buy a few days after release because i was looking for one and customer service informed me that they would have it in stock soon but i have not called back since do to finding one elsewhere. however i do think they will get it, at some point.

A few years back I had a best buy gift card for 50 bucks, didn't need anything at the store....so I found something for 50 and returned it the next day and got cash back.
Not sure if it would work in that amount, buy worth a shot.

You could sell it on Craigslist for not much less, I've done it before.

I got a bunch of best buy cards from that viggle app in hopes of buying a nexus 7. When I realized that they weren't going to sell it I sold the cards on plasticjungle. Com for 85%. Transferred the cash straight to my PayPal account.

I just bought mine at best buy yesterday...? But this was in Canada so maybe it's only Canadian best buys? Weird that Canada actually gets something before the states haha

Its really weird that the don't. Google is losing a lot of sales by not being there.

On that note, I only knew that best buy sold it because I made a spur of the moment decision to check the website. The store didn't even have them out on demo so I almost left empty handed but decided to ask an employee.

I think they're still having stocking problems. My local Walmart only have 3 each, and they just received them in the past few days. I have no idea why Walmart would have them instead of Best Buy, but maybe they just sold out fast? That's my opinion...

BestBuy has them, in stores here the US.. At least that is where I got mine.
Try calling the stores in your area. I had to called 4 of them until I found one that had a 16GB in-stock.
Could always has the person they got the giftcard from if they still have the receipt, then return it for cash.

i bet apple is restricting the sales at best buy. best buy is really apple friendly, at least here in so Cal.

You can go there, use your gift cards for other gift cards they have. I believe they have Amazon as well there.

huh...
At my bestbuy even if I just mention the nexus 7, a worker says "we don't carry the nexus 7 and will never carry it " I've heard that 3 times now, once when I was just talking to a friend about the one I bought at office depot. SO its kinda like they are obligated to say that? Hah who knows!

Before continuing on, I work for Best Buy, for another week.

Best Buy Canada does carry the Nexus 7. Best Buy USA does not. The reason is BBYC has different agreements than BBYUSA.

How did you buy the Nexus 7 at a BBYUSA? If so can you please post a pic of the survey code at the bottom?

We are not obligated to say that. It's just that Samsung and Amazon contracts make it so that BBYUSA cannot sell the Nexus 7 due to agreements between the two.
Really sucks, I went to Office Max.

I thought I read somewhere that Apple demanded certain Google products not be sold at Best Buy...not sure why something like a GS3 or Galaxy Tab 2 doesn't qualify....but I'm willing to bet thats the main reason BB hasn't carried them from DAY #1.
Anything can change at any time....and hope it does.

It probably has something to do with the price and the threat the nexus 7 poses to Apple.

It's actually amazon's fault BB is not carrying the Nexus 7 or 10. They threatened to pull their products out if BB decided to carry those tablets. Obviously with so many variations of the Kindle BB would end up losing money if Amazon did pull their products so it makes sense for them. it's just stupid retail politics

Sucks to live in a country where unethical behavior like this is allowed...
If this is true, it clearly falls foul of several of these:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_antitrust_law

When I went to the US in October (Portland, ME) I had a really hard time finding an N7. Best Buy told me that they "Don't sell Google products" and I was like, ooookay. So after a bit of muffing about I finally found one at Staples. And they only had one in stock, so I snatched it up immediately.
Best Buy just had your standard iPad's, Nook's, and a few Samsung tablets. Really horrible selection, at least the one I went to was like that.

[Q] Will Best Buy carry Nexus 10?

I am sure hoping so - have a $300 gift card.
Would anyone know for sure though.
Thanks!!!

Sooner or Later they will
Until then you gotta have to wait, I had the same question. I wanted to know how long will it take from 13th of November for this tablet to show up in best buy (Canada)? Kind of a important question for me, I want this tablet before 14th 12PM.

I'm hoping Currys/PC World (biggest UK retailer) get the Nexus 10. As I do have vouchers with them. But as for now it is only on the Play store

im in the same boat with Office Depot i have a $400 gift card that i was gonna use toward a tf700 but now am really thinking about waiting for this...
bought a toshiba thrive on CL for $250... the person i bought it from had the 2 year accidental damage... it broke so i have a $400 gift card in the mail...
couldnt have happened at a better time lol

I'm also hoping they stock the 32gb version as 16gb is too small for me.

Last I heard they were in negotiations to get it. I only heard this from reading the employee forums though when I asked there

If they don't carry it, they can normally order it for you online. At least thats what the manager told me when I returned my tf700

Is it available in best buy

Is told they wouldn't carry it as they don't carry the N7. They said it's because they would take a loss on it. I think it's because they're in bed with Apple. Just look at the amount of Apple they carry over Android.

My wife is one of the Google Chrome Rep's at Best Buy. (I don't think they have one in every store) The program just changed and they are basically dropping the Chrome from their name. In one of her emails the company said that the reason they don't carry the Nexus 7 is because of a deal between Amazon and Best Buy. Mainly because it's the direct competitor. It doesn't look like Best Buy will ever carry the Nexus 7. She wasn't sure about the N10 but it doesn't look likely.

So... What now?

So I'm one of the unlucky people who could not get a Nexus 4. So what now?
When are we waiting till? When will it come back in stock? What's going to happen now? Should I kill myself?

I am in the same boat. I don't have my own credit card (Use paypal for everything) and was getting the info sent to me at 11:50, which was SUPPOSED to be before the sale. Someone jumped the gun *cough*Google*cough*
Saw the sale start, I had a 16GB N4 in my cart, at the final order process, but couldn't fill out CC info and watched them all sell before my eyes. It has been a sad day.
Oh well, best we can do now is wait it out and see when they start stocking more. I am curious to see how people review it once they start getting it tomorrow, and am looking to see if battery life meets Optimus G levels. Also this gives us time to buy accessories / wait for more to come out (Anyone else hoping for an OTG Micro SD integrated case)

I couldn't buy an N4 this morning. I have my GNex listed on ebay, sale is ending any second now. Maybe I should cancel it. Pretty frustrating.

Gonna look at trying again. Don't know why but I've not been getting any luck with the website.

By restocking do you mean the 'restocking fee'.
The only reason why I am waiting for the phone is because of the restocking fee.
As soon as it goes away, I will order the nexus 4. I cant risk that might make me pay $50.
I think it will go away in 2 weeks. If it goes away in a week or this friday, it will be the best thing.

The restocking fee is part of their standard policy, and it applies to all the devices that google sells, provided you don't live in the EU or Australia. If you're in the US, its not going away.

Wait, what? The restocking fee is applied to opened and returned that aren't defective. It's nominally a charge for the repackaging they have to do. It has nothing to do with them having the phone in stock or not.

least I have time to buy a qi wireless charger and hopefully find a case that isn't the crappy bumber

GROIN! Friday here I come. Get ready F5

I wanted to by one in the morning but arrived at work at 8.50 am and all N4s were already sold out. Bummer. Maybe it was a sign I got anyway already scared after all the bad benchmarks and the thermal throttling. I bought now the HTC OneX+ for 199 bucks and it has Jellybean. At least I have LTE and it will work fine. Still have my GNex to play with 4.2.

Advice Please: Changing Carrier / Phone

I am currently changing my family over to T-Mobile and had ordered an HTC One for both my wife and I and we received them yesterday. I activated my wife's phone as well as my daughter's phone but I have not done my phone yet. Honestly, I have said for awhile that I want a Nexus Phone, and since the phone is almost half the cost of the HTC One it helps saving money to be able to get a Nexus 5 when it comes out.
Now here are my questions and hoping you all could help guide me: With Google I/O starting tomorrow should I get the phone now or wait to see what is announced at Google I/O (Though it sounds like the Nexus 5 won't be announced until October / November)? I ordered these phones via phone so can I return this HTC to the T-Mobile store? And since I want to return this and I they already requested my phone number to be transferred should I get the Nexus 4 from T-Mobile or order from Google Play (I have NO IDEA why the same phone is $130 more on T-Mobile but I will look that one up).
Any advice would be very helpful! Thanks!

The reason why it's cheaper on the Play store because Google sells them at a loss. More precisely they don't make any profit off the phones at such a low price tag. That's why T-Mobile and perhaps some other retailers will sell them for a higher price to make a few bucks off of it.
Since all Nexus 4 are the same you might as well get one from the Play Store. If anything goes wrong, Google can get you a replacement. It's also much cheaper. It comes unlocked so feel free to use it on any GSM carrier.
I think you should wait and see what happens tomorrow at the I/O conference. It seems though a new Nexus smartphone won't be released until the very end of the year.

Lol. They don't need the money. I'm not really sure why they do it. When the new Nexus 7 tablet comes out this summer they're gonna lose $5-$10 for each device sold.
Another interesting thing is that the Galaxy S4 costs about $237 to make. Buying it without a contract will cost you over $600-$700. Crazy, huh?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2

They are trying to introduce more people to the play store and android experience, that's why the price is lower. Wait a day and see what happens. But if it comes down to your question about should you return HTC one for the nexus 4, I would. You'll have extra $200 to buy accessories or maybe donate some $$ to charity.

Wait until tomorrow just to see if there will be a storage bump. You can return to tmobile within 14days (30 in CA) as long as you are a new customer, for renewals tmobile no longer has a "cooling off" period so I'm not sure what the process on returns is. Buy from Google. The Samsung S4's BOM (cost of materials) is <$250 now the cost to research/market the phone I find hard to believe would come in at $500 (assuming a $750 unlocked selling price) and yet that is what they want you to believe...my point is Tmo sells the N4 for $130 more because they can and that is what people are used to paying.

So the first article has conjecture and rumor from "analysts". The last 2 are about the nexus 7, a different device, but also say that google is making very little money or selling at cost (which means they aren't losing money and is believable.)
None of the articles have anything to do with you contradicting yourself nor do they have any info from google concerning the cost of the device so...you still contradicted yourself and you still don't know how much money they are/aren't making.

Yep, "we" have known for awhile that these devices only have $200-$300 worth of parts in them and google is using their size to push down prices for devs. Unfortunately it isn't doing anything for the general price of phones, in the US at least, since most people are still on contracts

Google is an advertising company at heart, everything they do is geared towards getting people online 24/7. Hardware is a loss leader

Best Buy $100 trade in program.

Looks like Best Buy is running the $100 trade in program again. I took advantage of this when I got my N9.... I wonder if they aren't selling well enough?
Even though they have this going on, none of the stores by me have any in stock and it's been that way for a while.

Best Buy has had the $100 trade in program since before Nexus 9 was released.

It seems there are a lot of store managers who don't know how to give credit for working tablets that are not on their computer databases. If you have an issue, you may want to be aware of this forum and the info presented (http://forums.bestbuy.com/t5/Other-Customer-Service-Support/Any-Tablet-50-Trade-In-Denied/m-p/858689). These forums have many instances of tablets being denied even though they should not have been. Good luck.

thank you!

Here's the deal:

I would suggest confirming stock visually in your local store(s) before trading anything in.

Anyone having trouble finding a White Nexus 9 in stock at their local Best buy?
There's like 10 Bestbuys within 30 miles of me and none have any white ones in stock. Neither the 16gb or 32gb.
The 16gb Black looks to be the most plentiful.

Yup, I went to BB the other day to trade my original N9 in and they had two 32gb black, zero white and about 20 16gb black.
I don't see white ones in stock at any BB in my area (Central Texas).

I did this a couple of weeks ago. I traded in my 8gb 2012 Nexus 7 (normally they would only give $10 for this), and was able to get a 32 gb Nexus 9.
I did run into an issue where the Nexus 9 wasn't in stock and the $50 coupon is for in-store use only. When they went to order it for me, their system wouldn't take the coupon and they told me coupon could only be used in the store. I reminded them that we were in the store having this conversation. The manager ended up "taking care of it", and knocked $50 off of the price.

ive read on the best buy forums there have been mixed results on doing this in store with random tablets because they are not in the system. i have read that people who complain on the best buy forum, and with an admin/ cs rep responding, will get success because apparently the rep is contacting the store directly to have them push the trade in through.
i love my launch day moto xoom but love the nexus 9 a bit more ..

To bad it's already over
