I have no idea wtf anybody would pay this much, but if you really want an n6 there are a few for sale on swappa now. One is asking $1200... Really? I guess there's a sucker born every minute, I think I can wait though.
I REALLY want a Nexus 6, but I'm not paying a cent more than the price on the GPS, suckers gonna suck I guess
Scalpers are the scum of the Earth.
In a just world, they'd have a $1200+ car bill tonight. Because anybody selling a Nexus 6 like only bought it to resell it instantly, keeping the rest of us from getting a device.
what is GPS?

Here in the UK the Nexus 5 was around £400 in retail stores for the 16gb while it was £339 on the GPS for 32gb.
It goes for as much as people are willing to pay.
Motorola should only allow 1 purchase per person instead of 6

No scalper here but that's just stupid. He bought it and he can sell it. You must really hate people that make money, I bet.

Nope.
Just scalpers. And I stand by what I said.
If someone is willing to pay it, who cares. Nobody wants to live in a world where prices are set and governed.....it's counterproductive. If people weren't willing to pay this much there wouldn't be people selling them for this much. If you want to cast blame, blame the people paying the exorbitant prices, not the ones simply giving them what they want at the price they are willing to pay.

Scalping is illegal. What he's doing is not.
That's fine you stand by it, but it's also dumb to hold such an opinion. He bought it, he can sell it. If someone pays that price then they're the foolish one, not him.

Very safe as long as you do it smartly. Do the transaction in a Starbucks (I sold OnePlus phones through that method easily) or a bank during daylight hours. Have them xfer money through Google Wallet, not Paypal, or even a 3rd party like their own banking software. If they want to bring cash, meet at a bank so the bank can verify the authenticity of the money.

buy it outright that way you don't sign a 2 year contract. if you activate a phone that YOU own you don't sign a contract. It's month to month. PM me and let me know if the other one is for sale. I'll buy it now.

If I were richer than Donald Trump I wouldn't even let Motorola and Verizon take me for a ride like they hope to do come the 24th. Only a small minority of people who are foolish with their money are going to be purchasing this. Actual rich people are smart enough to do research on products they buy and wisely spend their money to get the best value for their buck. Thats how you get rich in the first place.

The technology required to put a i5 and 4gb of ram into a tablet would shoot the price of the device up towards the $2000* range!

Pre-oder necessary?
Does anyone expect the Xoom to sell out day one? Most of the people I have mentioned the Xoom to has not even heard of it. I personally do not want to drive for an hour to BB, give away $880ish dollars (is this how the pre-order will even work?), and then turn around and go back to school. I am gonna spend like $30 bucks in gas all in all on this thing. (Which I guess in the scope of things, isn't that much.)

I doubt that it will sell out, but if you're gonna drive an hour to get one, I'd try to go early; Best Buy probably will only carry 5-10 per store and a few will be preorders for CRAZY early adopters like me.... It also depends on the area, I live in a smaller town, so I doubt we'll have any sell outs

Yeah, I will be going to the Montgomery, Al Bestbuy, which since it is the capital of Alabama, you would think they would have a larger stock... Well, back at home, I had access to three BB, one in Trussville, and 2 in Birmingham. The one on HWY 280 in B'ham had 100 iPads when they first came out. My friend (one of the managers) told me that they didn't sell a single one on the opening day! Then they sold them all in the following days and ran out of stock for the next several months... I plan on getting there right at or 15 min before the Montgomery store opens. (For pre-order) I could always get over sooner, but I am not sure I expect there to be a lot of crazy first adopters there.

If you're going to Pre-Order one on the 17th would that not lock in your order for pickup on the 24th? I'm just assuming that's how it is going to work, you pre-order, they set aside however many pre-orders they get, you go in and pickup on release day. Maybe I'm just thinking too logical, someone please correct me if I'm wrong because I saved the money for the XOOM and I don't care what others say, I'm getting one. So if I'm wrong someone please step up now and let me know what to expect. =)

You do realise there's a HUGE difference between an iPhone and... well... any other phone, right? People flock to iPhones like gnats to a sweaty forehead. And not even just the US. Hell, i sold my iPhone 4 that i had since they came out to someone in Russia for $450. That was enough to cover the cost of the iPhone when i originally bought it, PLUS the Atrix. I've only ever seen one person NOT in an AT&T store that had an Atrix. Just about every smartphone you see on the street is some version of the iPhone. And with the 3GS now being $49.... I'd imagine that ratio will be even higher. People don't know how to find a good phone. They know what is crammed down their throat no matter where they turn... and that just happens to be any Apple product, really.
Hell... look on TV. You see at least 5 iPhone commercials for every single Atrix commercial... and they advertise the lapdock more than the phone itself it seems.

yeah store was closed here. I tried calling att to see if they would price match the 100 bucks at bestbuy and they told me nope and if i wanted bestbuy's price i should cancel and goto bestbuy. does att charge a restocking fee for canceling a plan within the 30 days?

Scam, better make sure you don't ship it until paypal confirms after 2-3 days. I've had people do that to me before. They send a paypal payment, you ship the item, then they retract their payment and you're screwed.

But was it confirmed? Paypal will let you withdraw the money even if it isn't confirmed, but they'll force you to pay the money back to them if the payee retracts his payment.
Like I said, I have went through all of this before.
Edit: Even if it has been confirmed, you can still do a chargeback through your credit card company. I'm not saying that's what happened to you, but you have to be cautious.

Trying to sell my S3 in to Best Buy (they offered me $250) and then buy it outright (they have it listed for $700). BUT on the Sprint website and on Amazon they have it listed for $600. Best Buy told me now apparently they don't do the "price match" for cell phones on contract o I'd hafta pay the $700 which is total BS! I was planning on getting my S4 this week (tomorrow or Saturday) but now I guess I can't! Can anyone recommend where I can get an S4 (not eBay) that also has a buy back program + "price match"? ANYYY HELP WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED! Trying to get this phone ASAP, thanks!!
They will give you $262.50. The computers in the store only show good or bad condition not perfect. Tell them you saw on their website the perfect condition trade in value and they will check it. Also they don't print edition match on contract phones with is different than a off contract phone. Tell them you want to buy from them and if you are going to get the Geek Squad protection, which I totally recommend over Sprint and Assurion, tell them you also want that. But you will just order from Amazon if you have to. Also talk to a Samsung rep in the store they will probably talk to the manager and do the price match. This is exactly how I did everything.

What about paying $700 from Best Buy?! Kinda dumb I'd rather sell it on eBay for $300+ (and have them take around $30 for selling fee) and only have to pay $600 through the Sprint website or even Amazon. I just want it tomorrow or sometime before the week ends and I won't be able to do that the way I just said. I'd hafta wait a week or so. Yes I am a very impatient person!

Well the mall (where Best Buy is) is like 30min away from me and I don't want a wasted trip there... so I literally JUST got off the phone with them and the girl didn't seem to know what she was talking about, but as I stated in the OP they said they don't do price match for on contract phones.
Please delete this double post!
Make sure you tell them you are buying it full price off contract, they told me no until I made that clear then they looked a little confused and we're lime oh okay ya we can do that. I made it clear that I shop there often and wanted to buy the phone from Best Buy not Amazon. And I wanted the Geek Squad protection and they said fine no problem then.

You are in the middle of a contract so yes you are paying full price off contract. What you want Best Buy to do is match Amazon's price of $599 for the off contract s4. If you were buying a on contract agreement phone thats when you get the huge discount. Trust me I got the S2 the day it came out and since then the Galaxy Nexus, S3, and now the S4.
---------- Post added at 07:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:59 PM ----------
It doesn't mean your contract ends or anything just that you aren't getting the discount and paying full price, then they will price match Amazon. They get confused to because not many people do this. Thats why I said make it clear you want it full price but with a price match. And throw in the Geek Squad, It's $10 a month with unlimited replacements with no deductible, just don't lose your phone, they don't cover that.

Read this and specifically the first part of the second paragraph, it clearly states "on contract" which you are not buying.
Online or In Store: Find a Lower Price and We'll Match It.
If you find a lower price on a qualifying product at a local retail competitor's store or a designated major online retailer, we will match the price.

You are in the middle of a contract so yes you are paying full price off contract. What you want Best Buy to do is match Amazon's price of $599 for the off contract s4. If you were buying a on contract agreement phone thats when you get the huge discount. Trust me I got the S2 the day it came out and since then the Galaxy Nexus, S3, and now the S4.

OK lemme get this straight, and hopefully when I go to Best Buy tomorrow it's not a wasted trip lol..... So what you want me to do (and what you did to get your S4 from Best Buy and got them to price match it??) is: go to Best Buy tomorrow and tell them that I have an S3 that I want to sell into them, then I say I would like to purchase the S4 off contract and I would like them to price match Amazon/Sprint's price of $600 because I really wanna get it from Best Buy and get their Geek Squad protection. If I got that right.... that should work and I should walk out of Best Buy tomorrow with my new S4 for $599 (plus tax)?!?! Thanks!
PS- Do I hafta do THIS to sell in, or can I sell it in to them rooted with a custom ROM lol?
If they argue ask for a manager and show them there price matching policy which I pulled from there website. It shouldn't come to that but it is their policy. I price match a lot there because I prefer Best Buy over any other stores. In fact I have a interview with there mobile department tomorrow. LOL.

Yes, exactly what I did. I was told the whole we don't price match thing early on when I was thinking about buying the S4 then when I was actually about to buy it I did my research and went to a store with a Samsung rep who knows me fairly well and got the breakdown that they would do all of this once I made it clear about the off contract stuff. Good luck and enjoy your phone, it will all work out and be fine. LOL.

I would wipe the phone completely and return it to bone stock. You don't want any info on it somebody might be able to get.

Also make sure they give you the perfect condition price of $262.50 if it is in perfect condition. It shows on their website and I had them check it and they said thats fine. http://www.bestbuytradein.com/bb/fu...es&modelNumber=SPHL710KT&manufacturer=Samsung

Also they don't care what the carrier price is just say Amazon because its a store. Sprint can kind of do what they want sometimes because they are the carrier.
Thanks GiantJay I remember you from the S3 forums and can't wait to join the Sprint S4 community. HOPEFULLY I'll see you guys tomorrow!
You will. Let me know when you get it. I have an interview tomorrow at Best Buy at 4:30pm so hopefully I have a new job and you a new phone tomorrow, all thanks to Best Buy! LOL

Ya, I would make money to turn around and spend in their store. LOL. I will probably be handing them back my checks when I get them.
Sold mine on ebay for 265. And picked up my s4 off Craigslist in mint condition for 360. Not too bad.

LIST for free. No such thing as free selling on eBay lol. I just sold a bluetooth keyboard for $20 and they took a dollar or two from it in my account fees.
Are you against an early upgrade? That's what I did and paid $332 total.

They just need the phone and charger. You don't have to have a charger but you won't get perfect condition without it. Also the S4 has the awesome 2amp charger, one of the best features on this phone is the quick charge I think.
