400 good price for the 10.1 16gb wifi only?

Its on craigslist dont know if i should pull the trigger, heres the link.
http://houston.craigslist.org/ele/2730987865.html

Considering that the seller is lying about the retail price of the 16gb ($499 not $599), I'd say avoid this one. If you're not going to get a warranty, make sure the price makes up for the risk. $100 off wouldn't cut it for me.

It mightve been too good to be true, or someone just needing the cash fast, but I just paid 225 cash for my gtab 10.1 brand new in the box. Still had the plastic on front and back, headphones and cables were minty.
So I would say 100 off for a used one isn't worth it.

Not a good price. I would pass dude.

no not used its new

Seems good to me. Best Buy did run that promotion. I just paid $325 for a refurb on woot.com. $400 new is good.
Then again, you might want to wait to see the Asus Transformer, looks pretty amazing.

I almost went for that deal on woot.com but was scared off by the reviews of the site. Plenty of people were happy with them but they had a lot that were not.

Yes. I just read some reviews from various sites like this one:
http://www.resellerratings.com/store/Woot
There were others that had better ratings for them but this had quite a few reviews.
Have you bought from them before?

Odd, I have made 5 purchases from there and all went well.... I check shirt.woot.com daily. They are having Woot Offs right now (multiple items)

You can get 16gb for $400 at normal price and not used at most retailers...

Alternative HMDI Cable?

As the title says. Are there any alternatives to the slimport hdmi that runs on the nexus. £24 is quite expensive for what it is.
And has any one heard of a cheaper chinese version coming out?

£4 you say. Might be tempted by that, but £18 is still expensive :/. Anyone want to buy ps3 fifa coins haha

The code is REDDITSP.
Slimport is still relatively new so quite expensive. Cheaper adapters will likely apart in the coming months

You can get one for £17 (free shipping) here:

Tiger Direct usually has quality refurbished products.
And, they come with a warranty.
Just cause it's a refurb, doesn't mean it's crap.

I never said that refubs are crap. I have no problem with refurbs and buy them a lot.
The only reason I said anything was because the OP said they were brand new.

I on site staying $229, hmm

Site doesn`t work for me - gives me an error. Works on your browser ?

Im pretty sure that the 199 price was a short term deal that has expired and it went back to its original price.
I do remember that when I first say this it was for 199.

Speaking of buying a Nexus 7, last year I remember I was searching in a web site for stores that sold, for example, the Nexus 7.
It works like this: I selected the city and enter the product I was looking for, and the result was a list of stores showing the product, the address of the store and the available stock.
The problem is, I can't remember witch web site is this! I spent over 3 hours yesterday trying to remember...
I'm going to USA this year and want to buy some things.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks!

is it safe to buy the phone from here

Looks like an honest enough seller there, shouldn't be a problem. But why not avoid those insane shipping costs and buy it directly fro the google play store? Probably won't get it any cheaper, they ship very fast, and, if I remember correctly, for free.
EDIT: It's a good deal imho though.. Don't know about Norway, but I got my 8GB N4 for 300€, your offer there equals ~294€ for 16GB. Of course you have to add the huge shipping costs and the nerve it'll cost you to wait at least 2 weeks for your N4.

You're probably right but don't ya want it TODAY!

I've heard some folks have been able to get Best Buy to price match Newegg. Actually shouldn't be too hard as this is only 6% discount. In any case, right now Amex is offering $25 credit on statement if purchasing anything over $250 from Best Buy. Thus if you get BB to price match and put it on an Amex card, you are basically getting this for $304 (plus applicable taxes.)

10% off on Newegg for tablets
Gave me $33 off the new $329 price.
$296 free shipping :good:

Here's a bad sign. I had a white G Pad that was sitting in my shopping cart on Newegg. When I went to the website and put another item in the cart, I got a message saying that they were removing the G Pad because they had insufficient stock. Looks like the black model is still available.
So, this means that the G Pad is now available at 11/2 retailers in the US, and basically, it's only available online and not in B&M stores. Another indication that LG is pulling the plug. I'm puzzled about why they seem to introducing it in other markets while they're abandoning it in the US, though. Mysterious.

Still showing in stock but the price has been bumped back up to $349.99 and no more free shipping. Maybe they're selling well enough to cut the discount now.

Not available at B&M stores? That is absolutely false. The eight (yes 8 ) closest Best Buys to me have it in stock.
It's also still available at Newegg, just not on sale.

I should have said barely available at B&M stores. In my area, half the stores have a few units in the cage where nobody can see them. None of the stores have them on display.
I didn't see that the white unit was still showing up on Newegg, but apparently it is. The fact that they're raising the price going into Black Friday suggests to me that they are running out of inventory. None of this is good news.

Yes, they did back to $349. I really want to buy this tablet, but there something telling me not to buy it, such as cases, battery life, updates...
The Smart Case advertise on their website is nowhere to be found nor any body know it will ever being sold. But it's a good tablet, I might want to wait until Christmas to see if the price goes down...

The HP Slate 8 pro with the tegra 4 is out now, 329.99. I'd consider it but I fear development, or lack thereof, will be the same as the gpad.
Off to do some research.

Hmm, I hadn't looked at this one before you mentioned it. Looks like it has 4:3 ratio (which some people prefer). One other issue is that it only has 1 Gb RAM which will probably affect the performance. Still might be worth a look.
With any luck, we'll start seeing some more 8" options in the coming months. Maybe some of them will make a better attempt to sell their devices than LG has.

The 4:3 is most likely a deal breaker for me. I've spent some time with an iPad mini and the aspect ratio just felt weird, probably because I haven't had a 4:3 ratio anything since the old computer monitors.
Regarding the RAM, some reviews I've read claim 1 GB and others claim 2, not sure why the discrepancy but it's a moot point after the screen ratio.
I'll probably just wait until the 8.3 goes on sale again somewhere. Hopefully there'll be another competitor in this screen size by that time.

I'm kind of thinking the same thing. I might pick up a cheap substitute (Nexus 7, e.g.) and wait for a decent 8" device to come along. It might turn out the the problem with the G Pad is just production shortages. If that's the case, then they may lower the price and get them out to more retailers when they are able to produce enough devices. If that doesn't happen, I'll look for something else. I'm just not ready to buy a G Pad until there are enough people owning one to make a community.

Just ordered one tonight.They had them on sale with a promo code for 50% off.Can't beat it for 174.99.Had a Note 8 and sold it.Got a ipad air.Missed having a Android tablet.Think I will return the Air now that I got the G Pad.
