I sold mine back to amazon for $95 two days ago. They are offering over $81 right now. Just an FYI for anyone who feels stuck with theirs. Considering I paid $65 with 25 game credit, I am quite happy.

How did you sell it back to amazon? Do you happen to have a link or something? I cannot seem to find it.
Thanks in advance.
(I AM AN IDIOT... I clicked "Books" somehow on the trade-in link...)
This is awesome. Thank you for the heads up!!! Now I can finally be rid of this failed monstrosity.
Thank you. Here's hoping we get a better android box in the future, or maybe one of the current ones will take off further. I just could not stand this thing's controller.
Thanks for the head's up, I'm probably going to trade mine in then - I just got an Android ADT-1 (the Android TV Developer's Kit) off of eBay for $120 shipped (with controller and developers cable) and unplugged the OUYA. It was cool when it came out, but it became clear pretty quickly that it was pretty underpowered and under supported. ADT-1 is so much better.
Backers edition will not be accepted
I tried to trade in my brown backers edition to Amazon and they rejected my trade because it didnt match the silver one. Keep that in mind.
Will they accept it with cyanogenmod on it?

Nope needs to be stock, but I replied to your post with how to do it. I just did it last night and it worked perfectly.
they are only offering 33$ for them now.
I just sold mine back today for $75.29. Works perfectly for me. It's been sitting in it's box for over a year. Now I just need to find out what to do with the spare controller...

Back up to $81.50 as of right now. I just flashed stock back onto mine before sending and got full credit from amazon 1 day after they received it. mine still had original box, manual, etc - I did NOT include the HDMI cable, and they didn't seem to care.
That's messed up - I ordered an HDMI cable just to have it as "Like New" (which it was) and got docked like $4 saying it was in "good" condition. Even put batteries in the remote, all paperwork, and the "let the revolution begin" card too. Ah well, guess it all depends on who's opening the boxes that day.

Todays daily woot deal is the xoom wifi tablet for 399$, good deal!
http://www.woot.com/
I'm actually here because of today's woot... I had thought about picking one up shortly after they came out but decided against it for the price and my own lack of funds/need for it.
Now I've actually got a little money to spare but wondering if one of the other few competitors might be better so I'm trying to see what's best in terms of root, kernals, roms etc... Thinking I might end up picking one up at this rate.
I was looking at the same thing. Does anyone here have experience with the refurb items coming out of Motorolla? Are they generally in like new condition?
I am struggling with this one too...
I picked up a Xoom at Costco for $500 a few weeks ago, and could return it and pick up one off Woot for $100 cheaper. Only thing lacking is the fact that I lose the silicone case that comes with the Costco retail package.
Tempted to pull the trigger!
Does it still get the 4g upgrade?

No - this is the WiFi only model. Not the 3g.
I purchased a refurb Xoom direct from Motorola at the end of May and I've had no issues with it all. I have a friend that also purchased a refurb Xoom direct from Moto. Both came in retail packaging with charger, cable and OEM screen protector as well as stock warranty. Didn't think I could go wrong.
Well, I think I am going to eat the $100 bucks and keep the Costco 90 day return policy in my back pocket in case some other fantastic tablet comes along to temp me away from my Xoom. I have until 9/19 for my return... ;-)

Yeah I just realized that when looking at the woot site lol. I'm an idiot.
I spent about the same on a used WIFI model only a few months ago. I think this is a great price for the xoom. keep in mind that this is the google flagship, therefore updates come ASAP whereas other tablets have to wait for their respective companies to give the go-ahead.
i paid 570 for mine at launch and I dont regret it. So, yeah, go for it.
I have been wanting to get one since launch, and woot's deal of the day convinced me to finally pull the trigger on it. Can't wait to start messing with it when it arrives!

I doubt they have that many refurb, chance are that you will get new unit!
they are probably checking if lowering the price help them sell, in canada they just lowered the price to 499 like in the US at costco for the wifi and at this price point it's a great device! I lub mine!
I was too tempted and ended up ordering one last night as well. Just quickly browsing, it seemed like there are some good devs working on this and some good kernals/roms.
Definitely looking forward to playing with it! As much as I hate waiting around for it, I'll at least have time to research and prepare my plans of what to do to it.

Interesting that today Moto site shows no refurbished xooms available.
The same deal showed up again yesterday during the woot-off. I wasn't refreshing frequently so I don't really know how many they had left to sell, but I know they didn't sell out during the day of the deal.
Paid 350ish for mine about a month ago. Should of waited and saved 30 bucks (after tax)! Oh well, awesome deal for anyone who doesn't have one yet.

Got mine today... Loving it so far (just wish I had the 3.1 upgrade)... I'll get to that when I get home.

Oh I'm sure it works right away no problem, but overall does this affect long term battery? I'm assuming it may require the battery to be recalibrated at some point for optimal performance/capacity. This is more of a general battery question, not specific to the A500...

I plugged mine in, it was full charged in less than 2. Good thing I don't think I could have waited any longer. The quick start guide said 4 hrs and the instructions said 8 I think. And I think you should be able to plug it in and turn it on, they just mean don't turn it on and drain the battery before giving it a full charge.
Just did it!

This is good news even for us early adopters who paid the full $450. Pretty much the rule of thumb on XDA is the more popular the device the more development occurs for it! I'm usually NOT an early adopter and I don't think I've ever paid MSRP on any other electronic device I've ever purchased, but even at MSRP the A500 was the cheapest, best tablet out there, so I still feel liked I saved quite a few $ over, say, an iPad or iPad2 or Xoom, etc.
If the price goes any lower, it's going to be cheaper than my HTC Evo phone was -- subsidized from Sprint!
I work for Staples and the first I heard of this coupon was this thread.
I freaked for a second because I just bought my Acer 5 days ago, when we had the $50 off coupon on Any Laptop/Tablet. That was valid 7/13-7/16
I pad around $350 for the tablet after that and my employee discount.
I texted my manager. Tomorrow I'm getting a price guarantee exchange.
After my discount and tax, I'll pay roughly 280 for it.
We have to push the warranties, for no other reason than to keep our jobs.
We don't earn anything from it, other than a pat on the back from big brother, and momentary job security. In today's economy, Staples doesn't offer us any legitimate cut of the ridiculous profits of these plans, unless you work in one of the top 5 selling stores in the US. Then you might get an extra $50-100 a MONTH. Which isn't much incentive for the kind of pressure they put on us.
And if we don't sell, we get disciplined, in terms of hour cuts or termination.
However I will say in retrospect, the warranties on the tablets are a bit better than the laptops. You get battery coverage and they're all accidental. You break it? -- Battery stops holding a charge? Replacement or reimbursement.
If you break down the price divided by the amount of time monthly, it costs and covers things on par with cell phone insurance, except unfortunately it has to be paid entirely up front.
That's my two cents, from an Easy Certified Tech, desperately searching for a real tech job in a crappy economy.
Sweet! thanks man
Possibly going to get this. Do you think this is still a good buy? Will the tablet remain relevant for a while? Can't beat the price, that's for sure.
SO listen to this...
Went to the store. They listed it at $449. I asked them to look it up and they said they'd give it to me for the online price of 399. The the dude came back and told me he was out except for one that was returned. I asked if he'd give me a discount on it and he said 10%. When I checked out, with the coupon, it all came to 289 after taxes! Same 14 day return and warranty. There was nothing wrong with it. If there is, I can go return it for a new one if I so wish...or at least return it.
This was seriously the deal of the century! xD
I got my A500 32GB from CostCo on 7/4 -- $500ish after taxes. Took a CWM backup after rooting. Came with the annoying Acer case and HDMI cable.
(I got an HDMI cable off ebay for pennies.)
Got this 16GB Staples model for $300.
Went on Amazon, got a nice case and a shiny 32GB SD.
Everything aside, the A500 is pretty much the best. Same specs, no fuss, runs every ROM -- what's not to like?

I was actually curious about this as well. It came 50% or so charged, used it immediately.
I bought the Iconia during the Staples sale (pm by OD) in order to take credit card payments for my store. However, Squarepay doesn't play nice with it, so I need to sell.
I can't return because it has been past the 14 day return window and since it is open, OD will charge a 15% restocking fee.
I paid $326 for it and have only used it for a total of maybe an hour (to try and get Squarepay working).
I'm offering it up for forum members here at $300 shipped within the U.S.
Everyone play nice or bans will be issued...
FYI to the OP, I have a square and the iconia, I have contacted square support and they said they are working on it. They didn't give me a time frame, but they have been super responsive in the past on requests and bugs that I have sent them.

I am wondering whether its the 16 or 32. I am looking to get one for my wife, but running short on funds lol. I have the 16gb model myself just cause the 32 wasnt out when I was shopping.
Interesting. I was going to try out square on my iconia. I'll have to make sure it will work on my Optimus V until they get it to play nice with the tablet.
Also, you should still be able to use Square with just manual entry of the C #'s, although I understand the reason not to with the higher rate of manual entry... Good luck with the sale though.

I did that for a bit, but there's two reasons why this isn't ideal.
1) They actually charge more for manual entry
2) Customers don't like it as much for some reason when you are entering their CC info in. It doesn't seem as "legitimate" as swiping. It also doesn't look as cool.
Is $300 your rock bottom price, or is there any more room to negotiate? I don't need another iconia, but I know a few people who are jealous that would jump at getting one for the right price. You can PM me and we can go from there.
Thanks

*EDIT* -- I've got a bottom of the barrel Android phone (Huawei Ascend) that prompted me to sell off all my Windows Mobile gear (a bunch of Dell Axim's). Spent the last couple of months comparing, reading reviews, message boards, etc... and the A500 is pretty much what I'm looking for. Got a taste of Android from my phone and I want more, More, MORE!
As you can tell from my post count, I'm not on here too often. But, a reply to this thread, a PM or email at: ka4aaa at gmail will certainly get to me. Thank you again, and I understand if you're keeping it. I'm not going to pay $400 (which every local store seems to be offering), can't find it for less than $340 online, and your $300 price is the magic number I've been looking for. Much appreciated!!
**Second Edit** -- Nevermind. Found one locally. Thank you!
hey, dont know if you got the message i sent but definitely interested in getting it off you. let me know. My pms seem to be acting weird and not sending messages out.
Sorry, I forgot about this post and I'm still getting PMs about this.
Item was sold a week or two ago for $320!
Thanks all!

I bought one there a few days ago and had BB adjust the price today.
This tablet is a sleeper currently. Folks seem to just pass by anything that isn't a Nexus, Samsung, or Ipad. I bet the price will soon hit what the new Nexus 7 is going for, I will keep my eyes peeled and get a further adjustment if that happens. Lots of price wars happening with Microsoft and android tablets lately.
Good thought on watching the price and having them adjust for any drop. I grabbed two, one white from my local Best Buy and one black from one across town. I'd been thinking I wanted black since my current/previous tablets have been black (or dark gray in a few cases), but the white one does look pretty slick, so I might try that for once. I'll obviously cancel/return the one I don't keep.

I'm liking it so far. No hot buttons currently and I think it is a sleeper currently for price and quality right now. The Nexus 7 is very good, I have one but 16:10 aspect ratio on a 7 inch is tough for me to tell the truth.
No lag with games, videos don't buffer, web browsing is fine, reading on it is very good. SOLD!!!
Just sold an iPhone 5 I had for $220 so Im waiting for any Christmas sales. Will have about $330 by Christmas so Im just watching:laugh: out for any good deals.
I bought one at BB today myself... Having some drinks waiting on the first 100% Charge.... Returned my Nexus 7 2013 for this puppy.. I think this is the *Perfect* size for a Tablet.

Yeah, I think I'm inclined to agree after playing with it for a few hours. This is a really great device! I rooted it and restored apps and data from my Nook HD+ using TiBu.

I seen that deal also Wells.. but I rather buy at a Brick & Mortar.. I had a situation where a Asus HD 7 freaked out and looped doing an update to the latest firmware 5 minutes out of the box.. the turn around for refund or replacement would have been over a week if I purchased it through Newegg.. As it was, I just walked it into Walmart and got my Cash back.. So, I for one don't mind at all paying the $30.00 difference to avoid the headache of returning an item such as this should I have an issue.. My unit has fully charged while typing this and I've just powered it up for the 1st time.. and it's FABULOUS..
Thanks for this post! Mine is slated to arrive Tuesday from Best Buy Online. I will contact them today to see if I can get a $20 credit since I paid 299. I posted this in the accessories page ...

you guys might appreciate it as well. So that you don't waste as much time as I have researching official accessories as seen in the hands-on reviews from certain websites, I can assure you that the official accessories like the dock and the quick cover are not yet available in the US even though they appear on the LG US website. I just spent a hell of a lot of time on the phone with LG trying to show them that their own website lists the items complete with full instructions on how to use them. I finally got someone to admit that the products are not available in the United States at this time. I picked up an Asus cover on Amazon that will work with the LG.

Which Asus cover works with the G Pad?
I too ordered one. I missed the Newegg one thought I would just wait one more day lol, one day to late. The taxes from Bestbuy gets it up to $300. Still good price. Going to test it against the HP Slate8 pro. At 1st I really liked the HP (Tegra 4) yet the speakers at the bottom portrait mode I cant tell ever if its stereo. Then way to many times it gets sluggish. The only thing I can relate to this is on my PC many years ago when running to many apps it would be swapping memory you get that lag.
I did try the EVGA note. Was nice yet the battery life is very short. Then on the HP running things wow the higher rez really made some apps and games look so much better. Battery life on the HP is really good. I really loved the Kendal HDX speakers. So all I need is a tab with kendal speakers, a stylus, 32gb + 2ram and I will be happy.

unfortunately, none of them. It's the Asus 8 inch Note tablet cover that is being listed as completely compatible with the LG Gpad 8.3. However, I ordered a white one twice now from two different companies on Amazon and both times my order was cancelled because they are out of stock. You can probably get it in a different color or maybe black, but I'm holding out for white. Just a search on Amazon and it will come right up.
"VSTN LG G Pad 8.3 Multi-Stand PU Leather Cover Case with Hand Strap&Card Holder (For LG G Pad 8.3, White)"
I picked one up on on the 7th after missing out on the newegg $249 deal. I also used my amex $25 off $250 so that helped cover the tax. If it drops in price before the extended holiday return period (almost a certainty) I'll get that as well. Now I just need to decide if I'm going to return the N7 32G I picked up last week for $209. The overall dimensions for the 2 are pretty close but the screen size is the reason I got the G Pad.

Well some of us jumped on the G Pad but to tell the truth there is just no visibility with this device. All BB stores in my area don't have one on display and unless one is savvy, you wouldn't even know they carried it.
And I'm unsure what other big box retailers carry it either where you can just walk in and buy it. This may or may not hurt with a price drop in the near future. If the manufacturer monitors sales, I don't no how they can expect much more without the product being more visible to the public. A shame really cause it blows away much of what is out there currently available!

I wouldn't have bought one with being able to try it out beforehand. The closest BB didn't carry it but one not too far away supposedly had them in inventory. When I went I naturally went to where the tablets were and it was nowhere to be found. I asked a sales associate and they said they don't carry it I mentioned that BB online shows they have them so he dug a bit deeper and found out they have them over in the mobile department. It makes no sense to me since it's currently WiFi only but there it was with the LG phones.

It's not listed as "new" like the one I purchased, but it's essentially the same thing, directly from AMAZON as opposed from an independent seller, which means that someone probably returned it and they are selling it as an OPEN BOX which is better than a refurb.
So essentially you are getting a MOJO for $160 which, truthfully, is how much it should cost if they really want to make it appealing to the OUYA crowd who wished their console wasn't such a stripped down piece of crap.
For anyone interested, it's a good deal.
Thanks!

LOL the last thing they want to do is appeal to the cheap, pre teen ouya crowd, this is a pro kit all the way baby :laugh:
IMO:
$100US for the real controller with BT4, travel clicp and PC support
$150US for the console
which I think is good value anyway.
I tried checking out, but it's domestic US only

Hey,
Amazon gave me a $20USD voucher because they couldn't ship it out of the US :highfive:
Speaking of Amazon, I just read this today:

I'm selling my MOJO.
It's still like NEW. Barely used. Open Box deal.
Hit me up if you are interested.
With tax, I paid just over $175. I'm not a stickler, so I'm rounding down to $175.
$175 + postage/shipping and it's yours!
Thought I'd hit people up here first since you guys are fans of this product and many of you did your best to help me figure this unit out.
If nobody is interested, then I will probably just return it to the online retailer for my money back.
Maybe my loss is your gain and thought I'd share it with you guys since it costs $250 retail + taxes.
Nice meeting you all. Thanks again for the spirited conversation!

Hey,
Yeah I thought you would go for a PC.
I understand though, I had a mythTV gaming/TV/Media box, until the drive died.
Anyway, give me a shipping quote to Melbourne, Australia, postcode: 3020

Going into UPS today to get a shipping estimate. If you are still interested after that point, then we will talk. Look at your PM folder.
