Sadly, I can't afford a brand new tablet, especially this one.
HOWEVER, I was given a $500 Staples gift card for my birthday and buying this tablet seems like the perfect use for it!
Sadly, for some unknown reason, Staples doesn't have this tablet in stock. Not on the website, not in the stores.
No one at Staples can give me an ETA. No one at Samsung can give me an ETA.
Anyone else have this type of experience before (by which I mean waiting on new technology from Staples, not incredible impatience like mine) or know how long it takes Staples to carry brand new awesome tablets?
I may have a solution. You should try selling your gift card to someone on Craigslist for 450 or something.

Well if anyone is really cheap like me then this might help them to justify buying a tablet, expires the 16th.

Boo, only available in the US
Yeeeeyy, Im buying one
Will best buy price match this?
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
Interesting
Perfect I just purchased a unit from best buy yesterday. Im returning it or see if they will price match the $50 bucks.
Unfortunately they don't price match coupons, only sale prices in store
If this was out when I first purchased my tab, I would have gotten it from Staples rather than BestBuy.
I could have upgraded to the 32GB version for $50 more, in comparison to the 16GB version from BestBuy.

Can anyone confirm that this coupon works? Tried to price match at best buy. They called staples to confirm and staples said it's Not a legit coupon. Doesn't show up on staples website anywhere either.
I will call staples myself to find out if this coupon works,if not staples are full of sh$t.

Staples tabs have HC 3.1. And tab on display has locked bootloader.
I am wondering if all new tabs come with locked bootloader...
All the Tabs have HC 3.1...
And locked boot loaders don't really mean much on the Tab. You can flash CWM, kernels, ROMs, root, etc

I just used this coupon at a Staples today. Sales rep knew exactly what I was talking about when I mentioned it.
anybody that used this coupon at best buy can you show proof of purchase.
Thanks!
BB doesn't take competitor's coupons...
Someone in the transformer forum was able to used the coupon at beat buy.

I guess it just depends on who you talk to. Both BBs I have asked said no, and it's stated in their price-match policy. Give it a try, worst that happens is they say no
So I'm planning on selling my TF 1 in anticipation for getting the TF 2 but I have a few questions. What is the best time and place for selling it? Am I going to get considerably less money for my TF 1 if I wait until the TF 2 is officially announced and/or released? Where is the best place to sell it? I've considered eBay, the XDA forums, and the Best Buy trade in program (I'm assuming I'll probably get robbed there though). Another worry of mine is if I will have to sell the keyboard dock or is it going to be TF 2 compatible? Advice please...
I know that right now best buy is doing half back on the Transformer if you take the pay out in gift card form

Right, Best Buy is offering $298 gift card or $198 check (for 32GB model). I briefly looked at eBay and it looks like $300 to $350 is the going rate for used 32GB. How much can I expect for this to go down once the TF 2 is announced and/or released? I'd like to get the highest value for my TF 1 without having to sell so early that I'm without my tablet for months.
Basically the longer you wait the less you'll get for it.
Just curious what some of you think a good price for a used I/O tab might be.
It has two very small marks on the screen but is otherwise in Grade A condition.
I've had trouble selling it on eBay for what I think its worth and am afraid to let it go for too little.
Any opinions?
Anybody want to buy one?

What was your starting price? I would do Buy it Now for $400. Should sell quick. Or google ebay fee calculator and see what the buy it now price has to be to get $400 after ebay/paypal fees.

For a used, non-supported device? I was just in Costco and with rebate you can get a new 16GB for $429. MicroCenter was selling them a week ago for $350. The I/O has no collectable value so I'd guess $275-300 would be a reasonable expectation. Keep in mind that new Aconia's, K1's, and Thrive's are all selling for $299 this holiday season at various retailers.
I guess I was shooting a little high, guess I'll have to lower my expectations.
Plus woot had refurbs for 319 a few days ago for the standard 10.1 tab.
Sent from my GT-P7510 using xda premium
I have an I/O tab and would def take it over an standard tab anyday. Also its 32gb, 16gb tabs are just too small. I personally consider it a collectable, im sure there are others that do as well. If you have the box, etc you should do well, iMO

For something to be collectable there has to be scarcity. I've seen a bunch of I/O's on eBay and CL. You guys can list it for $600 or anything you want. The market determines value.
You can't sell it? Id rather have an I/O then the retail wifi one just cause that one looks cooler(to me) but I have the white back wifi so that might be why. So pissed best buy was out of grey when I got it.
Sent from my Droid using XDA App
I paid $600 which I thought wasn't bad since retail wifi 32GB was $599
I haven't gotten a bid over $460 yet.
Guess I'll just have to bite that bullet.
You have a 32 gig? Id trade ya for my 16 wifi. What's the difference with the io and retail I run task 7 so support doesn't matter.

Anything above $250 is too much IMO. Rather get a retail unit otherwise

i got a second kindle fire that i don't use. how much would i sell this for since it is used?
I see them posted locally on Craigslist for about 170. Not sure how much they actually sell for.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
hmmm I would EBay it for 160 buy it now plus whatever shipping is... Offer to have it come pre installed with ICS or CM7...
In my area on Craigslist they are usually $150-170. However, as someone who sold a lot of crap on Craigslist you generally don't get what you list it for, so I would venture to guess the selling price ends up being between $125-150.
I have gone from Nook Color to Nook Tablet and now want the larger screen of the HD+. My previous devices have all been refurbs directly through the B&N ebay site and have never had a problem. It seems like most of the local stores don't seem to have the HD+ in stock any more so I'm wondering if there are going to be any good deals for a brand new unit for Black Friday. Should I just go with one of the ebay sites selling refurbs for around $115 now, or wait to see if I can get a new one during Black Friday? Does anyone know if B&N ever sells the refurbs any more or do they just have other sites doing it now? I felt a lot better getting it directly through them before.

You can do what I did- Staples lowered the 16 gig price to 129; I called them up about 3-4 time till one of their customer service reps applied a $20 off coupon manually (it technically probably shouldn't have been applied). Got my brand new 16gb for $117 including tax and shipping. Having a little trouble getting it to run as smooth as I like, but once I work all the little kinks out I believe it will be one of the best deals I've ever gotten. I wanted to try waiting till black Friday, but I figured a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Good luck!!

Staples does not have them available online and there are no staples in St. Louis (or nearby) for some stupid reason. Best Buy seems to be out of the 16GB. B&N retail stores have them, but I doubt they would price match Staples since they are not available. I just ordered some screen protectors so that when I do order one, I can stick one as soon as I open it. Hopefully the Black Friday ads start showing up so I can see if there is going to be any deals. I'm almost ready to just pull the trigger on one of the Ebay refurbs.

Ahh that sucks they dont have them anymore. Wish this thread would have been up even two days earlier, just friday I sent back a $99 refurb That I had ordered right before I had caught the staples deal.
But either way, depending on what your using it for, this can be a great tablet. Even though its a little older and not pushing as many pixels, I have found that my touchpad was running a little bit smoother than this. But I think as more builds come out, and people keep tweaking etc. this is going to be a really really solid tablet.:laugh:
Has anyone else seen any good deals on a new HD+ from a local store (B&N, Bestbuy, Target, Walmart, etc)? I'm hoping I'll be able to order one online through one of these sites on Thanksgiving day (or earlier). I won't be able to go out in all the Black Friday madness.
Only thing I would suggest is to watch those deal sites such as Bens bargains for deals or try craigslist. Good luck.

I'm not seeing any $99 HD+'s on the bay.
Saw the HD+ still in stock at the local OfficeMax yesterday for $129.

They come and go at that price. I bought one from beststopdeals for $99 ten days ago. They are higher now.
I would not expect Black Friday to feature any Nooks at fire sale prices. Black Friday specials feature second and third tier merchandise at ridiculous prices, not "pre-owned" skus that have been on clearance for months. Maybe someone (probably B&N) will be selling new units for $129 (again).
Here's how I get the best prices if I'm willing to be patient:
1) set up a search with email notification at stuffalert.com. This free site only searches *bay but you can specify the country, buying format and price, etc.
2) set up an alert at slickdeals.net. I often find very good prices at big box stores like Kmart and Walmart where I don't usually shop.
Good luck.

I'll check a couple of local OfficeMax's and see if they have any. Too bad you can't check online. I might be willing to go $129 for a new one.
Right now a local Staples is holding a Nook HD+ for $130 for me. While the local GameStop is selling off the Nexus 7 2012 version for $99. I am unsure which one to get. I talked to the Staples store and they will price match the Nexus 7 from GameStop I know this is a Nook forum but which would you recommend. I like the bigger screen, but am worried about being able to upgrade to KitKat like the Nexus products will be able to do.
I ended up buying a refurb one on Ebay for $115, it arrives tomorrow. I was just out shopping and looked around in sears and they had a new one for $129. Wish I would have stopped by there last week. Their online price shows as $149 and it also says they didn't have them at my local store. If you are interested in a new one, it might be worth stopping by your local Sears to see if they have any for $129.
I just bought a 32gb this morning from staples with a $50 off coupon and the amex $25 off $75. Came out to $115 so I'm really excited! I saw one of them on display at target and thought they look great! I was ready to get one from ebay refurbished too so am really glad I didnt. The 7 inch tablets are too small (have 1st gen kindle) and tried an Asus 10 inches that was too big so this is middle ground.

target nook hd 79 on black fri but go to your local walmart they will price match and you will not have to wait in line at target also you can buy the warranty at walmart and they will give you a gift card if it breaks not you having to send it in and them fix it. its a gift card for the full purchase price and the warranty is 2 years for 9 dollars well worth it. already had to use it once
