Expansys eBay store has the galaxy nexus for $575 + like $5 shipping... The only catch is its a open box item.. This is my first time opening a thread, Can I post the link or no?
Edit: I see other threads that post links so:
http://stores.ebay.com/eXpansys-USA-Store
I really want in on this but I'm hesitant knowing that it could be one of the ones somebody returned because of excessive banding, or other screen issues. Manufacturers and retailers usually don't consider that a problem and send them back out.

I bought mine from one of those deal sites for $565 shipped. Came in all original packaging. The only problem was the package seal was broken. I think reseller opened it to test the phone before shipment since it's an international phone. Other than that it's perfect!
Unfortunately he doesn't ship international
I also got my Galaxy Nexus from an open box deal via their eBay store and when I got it I couldn't figure out why it was returned. It was in absolute mint condition, couldn't tell it had ever been used. Accessories were still sealed even.

Have you seen this price?
Best price I have seen for the 32G and also the dock.
Best Buy will also price match.

I picked mine up at Best Buy for $350. Blue. Amazon has the dock for $128.
Man you guys got your Tf300T's pretty cheap. I got mine at Singapore when it first came out. Costed me roughly $580 for the tablet and the dock
That is an awesome price, holy cow! I got mine from Best Buy for I think $380 for the Tablet and $110 for the dock, but that was after my employee discount. I will ask my manager tomorrow if they can price match AND apply the discount, that would be swwwweeeeet!
Thanks for posting this
Does best buy even offer price matching? I tried to talk the salesman about how it's on Amazon, newegg and other websites cheaper but he didn't seem to know anything and I just picked it up for their price. Didn't want to wait and possibly pay for shipping. I will look for deals on the keyboard dock though. That I can wait a bit on.
Price Match
Print the add (posted above) or hard copy from the paper. Go to the Best Buy help desk and tell them you just bought this and Office Max now has it for <$
If you have a Best Buy in town you must have an Office Max, even if the Office Max does not have them in the store they offer ship to store for free.
Now go and save some bucks. Also, go to Best Buy website and print their Price Match Guarantee (have it in your hands to read) they know about it. Staples will also match it.
Good luck
I'm getting mine Thursday (32gb with the dock) for £360.

I stumbled upon this deal this morning while researching tables. I was going to get the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 until I read the Engadget and CNet reviews. Found out this one is much better. I was at work and called the store to have them hold one for me this I got off work. When I got there they told me that I got the last one and other customers were upset that I has one on hold.
Anyway, I go mine for $377.11 with tax and the keyboard dock for $107.74 with tax. The didn't have the keyboard dock so it is be shipped from another store. I should have it with two or three days.
Hey I just want to thank the OP for this. I printed out the ad, took it to Best Buy, and got $54.25 back. Needed the money too. Thanks
Yeah, just my two cents - I too price matched with Best Buy (my brother visiting from Ireland had bought this at Best Buy a couple of weeks ago). I ended up buying it myself from officemax and then we price matched his at best buy! They were all confused as honestly, I don't think anyone ever takes them up on their offer! But $54 is $54!! ;-)
Office Max TF300t Dock
Appears that Office Max has pulled the TF300t Dock from their web site. Sold out!
At that price I can see why. But not sure why they can't offfer a raincheck. If they did not do their research on what a good deal this was then shame on them. They knew it because of the way they presented it in their flyer. Best Buy had thousand of back orders at Christmas on the TF201 and honored them all. Even gave free docking stations based on the lack of Christmas delivery. Guys argue and hold them to it!
I got the tablet and dock at Best Buy yesterday. They matched the tablet since in stock in local stores, but would not match the keyboard. I went ahead and also got the keyboard from Best Buy hoping the keyboard would be in stock this week at OM to price match.
Then I decided to go ahead and order the keyboard from OM yesterday, since expected them to run out and not get any in store this week.
The dock shipped last night and I will take the other dock back to BB when I get it. Total price for tablet and dock was same price as the A510 and Excite.
just bought my tpad tf300t for $320 at my local best buy! It was a must but when i saw it. The device was pre owned and the box was opened but everything else wasnt touched at all. the device wasnt even turned on.
I keep looking for open box but none around me have any
There will be a tablet and dock in Kentucky tomorrow if my dock is dead and the tablet almost dead while left in sleep mode again. I have had this happen twice in a row and both times the device was restarted, no third party apps used and push notifications disabled.
Shame since got both for $450, but usless to me if the dock and tablet do not behave well together. I have not rooted, so a stock device should not be doing this.
The Excite also had a battery bleed issue while asleep, but 12%, not almost the whole thing (dock too). The A510 did not have the problem, but gets too hot during use.

Haha, yes. I called best buy to see if they would price match a white online one for a blue office max one and the answer was no.
Thanks for this thread & the information. I have done my research and am ready to pull the trigger on purchasing this TF300 tablet. A couple of questions:
I have a BestBuy in a local town about 20 minutes away from me and there is an OfficeMax in that same local. Online, the OfficeMax of course says "Backordered" in this particular store when I search for it. The BestBuy shows it in stock, however I haven't called them to verify yet.
I see BestBuy also has the 16gb model at a similar price to the 32gb that is on sale at OfficeMax.
Will they try to play this off as being that one and thus not be inclined to give me the "price match" offer?
Should I ask them over the phone about the "price match" when calling to verify they actually have the 32gb in stock before making the trip OR would it be best to just show up with the Ad?
Is a salesman the person I present the ad to OR should I just walk in and go to the customer service desk with it?
Sorry for the goofy questions, just trying to have both ores in the water so I have the best chance at getting this accomplished.
Just taking a poll for people who have bought their Note 2 from Newegg.
Does the Note 2 look brand new when it arrived?
Any issues with the phone?
Do you know which country the phone was made for?
Thanks
I ordered one. It just went on sale at that price yesterday. I doubt they have been delivered yet.
Got my white one from Newegg two weeks ago. Was brand new and the box had three seals on it. Has a North American charger. No issues with the phone. I think it was for South America? The menu was initially in Spanish. Loving it. It's a steal at $589 currently!
I got one from newegg.ca. It arrived in Vancouver after about 4 days.
It is the international N7100 version. No LTE, but it does have HSPA+. ALJ3 build.
The packaging was new, sealed, and everything looked unopened. I know the real sleezy dealers have ways of sealing the box back up, but I'm pretty sure my model was brand new. Newegg is usually pretty good, and I don't think they would open the box without a reason. I think this model comes from the factory unlocked, so there is no need for newegg to open it to unlock it. These phones are probably too new to worry about getting a refurbished unit.
I wouldn't worry about it. Even though they are now available in Canada, I still would rather have the N7100 as I hear it is faster than the LTE version.

Ordered one yesterday and newegg didn't make the delivery time today. Should of just picked it up instead
NewEgg has always been good for me. I would have preferred to order from them instead of the EBay seller last week. Not talking bad about that Ebay seller, he did a great job and shipped out the same day I bought. That's better then me when I sell on Ebay! Not to mention some how I got around paying tax on it. I just ran across a few dead beat sellers on Ebay in the past. i trust NewEgg better then Ebay, 1Dealaday, IceMonkey and TigerDirect.
Ordered mine last night...
should be here tuesday of next week...will report my findings upon receipt...
can it really be that many refurb'd devices out there, if any, so close to the release date...???
Who said anything about refurbs? They are brand new.

well newegg is a site that's known to sell new and refurb'd smartphones, so asking if the phone "looks new" prompted what would, to me, be an obvious alternative to "looking new"...if someone answered stating that the phone did NOT look new, then it would either be used or refurb...also 2 + 2 = 4
it's called "context clues'"...and you are not so bright...
i bid you peace...
Ordered mine today, just to good of a deal at $589 shipped. The site says 'new'. I have always found Newegg to be a reliable seller, I am pretty sure it is new in box. :good:
Some of the shady on-line retail sites will take referb phones and ship them as new, for full price.
This is not usually a practice newegg is involved with.
I think, reading between the lines, that is part of what the OP was asking. Maybe not, but it's good to put it out there anyway. It is a legitimate concern.
I received mine yesterday. Its brand new. Now I'm off to read more posts about rooting.
Ordered mine about a week ago, brand new

Newegg is not shady, they have disclaimer stating that some phones might have to be unboxed to unlock since they are are carrier locked. Note 2 doesn't have disclaimer so it should be new sealed box. I just ordered mine today at $589.99.

Just got my Note II in today from Newegg (my 1st purchase from them)...I actually called in today just to have time to play with it
1. Firstly, This is definitely a new device. Mine was still sealed in the Samsung box with the tamper proof patches on it.
2. No issues so far.
3. America.
4. GO VOTE SUCKAS...!!! :good::victory:
Just received my GN2 from Newegg.
The box still had the Samsung seals on it, and a US charger was included as well. Phone itself was brand new.
The default language was English (UK) so make of that what you will.

I actually got this disclaimer when I ordered mine. I thought it was a little strange and made me second guess my order, since the international version is supposed to ship unlocked from the factory. Newegg should not have to open it.
As mentioned, it turned out to be brand new and sealed when it arrived.
As a side note, it should be noted that the N7100 (which is the one newegg carries) is non-LTE. If you want LTE, get one from your carrier or wait until newegg carries the 7105.
Got mine yesterday...brand new in the box...:good:
Hey,
I wanted to know if any of your are experiencing the same thing I did. I just purchase the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition White 16gb and received it in a package that you can easily tamper. It was not taped shut. The package itself for the product has both seals broken. I took out the product, it seems to have not been touched.
Can you return it and ask for an replacement. It Doesn't sound legit how they sold the device to you.

Yeah I just called them for a replacement. They are going to send me one for 1 day delivery so it should be here tomorrow. I am just really upset with them right now because I have been waiting for the device. I was just wondering if other people that have purchased the tab from Amazon got a broken sealed tablet.
a lot of people complained about this with lasr year's note. I forgot what amazons reason was. mine came sealed.
i got a 16gb black shipped from bestbuy and seals were in tact.
My cousin ordered one off amazon and the seal was broken. Half his screen did not function and the home button was busted. Luckily, he was able to get a replacement.
Thanks guys for responding. I thought it was uncommon. I guess its not. My replacement just shipped out. Hopefully the seal isn't broken again...
I have scouring Gamestop, Best Buy, Amazon, etc. and most places are either out of stock or selling at premium (Amazon 3rd party seller is selling at $340+).
I have thought about ordering from Nvidia directly, but they have high shipping cost AND I am not sure if they have it in stock themselves. I mean, if they are not going to deliver in 2-3 weeks, I rather go with Best Buy because they have the same delivery timeline but I got 10% cashback.
So if you just recently bought the tablet, can you share where did you get it from?

Gamestop. They had only one in stock.
I really wish NVidia would do more to market this... they're going to become the HTC of tablets... good products, no marketing support, and therefore no market share. And when nobody's buying the products, nobody's stocking them.
Amazon did have them in stock with Prime shipping for a couple hours this morning, back to only re-seller for now.

That seller doesnt ship to the UK, Besides, in the UK 2 years of warranty is standard whereas North Americans get only one year.
I picked my one up from scan.co.uk on launch day for £240 (14th Aug). Tablet only.
It is developing cracks on the underside.

Amazon a few days after launch. Just received my cover from Nvidia this week.
Ordered from amazon directly at 130 am, was just messing around when I saw this. BTW you can install an extension in chrome which will email you when a certain product hits a certain price or lower. It's called camel something, not by computer right now.

Bought mine today on Nvidia since the only other one I can find is 70 miles away. It said it was in stock but I have no idea if it will ship on Monday or in a month. People on the forums said I'll probably get it in a week, but never get a shipping confirmation until after I get it... What is it with companies with green color schemes and poor shipping? (razer pulls the same **** with me and I end up getting products before I get tracking numbers).
