Target Selling A500 $299 from Aug 14th...

Ooops too new to post links but check it out on androidpolice.com.

Same exact price as when I got it a month ago.

Actually, it's $399 and you also receive a $100 Target gift card according to the Target ad. It makes a little difference (or a lot ) depending upon how much you pay in sales tax in your locale.

yeah i just saw the ad for it in the paper this morning. why can't i just use the damn card on the tablet

The $100 really helped in getting my wife to let me get this. I've had a Viewsonic GTab for almost a year. Also we used the Target Red card and got another 5% off.

Your wife LET you get it.
HaHa
Man up dude.

Picking this up tomorrow! My friend works at target is giving me his employee discount and then buying the gift card off of me for $85! I am very excited and looking forward to my first tablet woohoo =]

Nice. Ever since I got mine I haven't turn my laptop on.

Walmart has the same deal too both online and in stores. I picked up one yesterday.
The Walmart gift card was much closer to cold hard cash for me since I can use it at their gas stations. Plus right now you get 10 off per gallon using a gift card.

I recently bought the 32GB from Costco. It was $429. I am considering a quick return for this model and the $100 gift card (Wal Mart).
This is my wifes toy and she uses it to play some games and browse facebook. I think 16GB should be sufficient?

Return and rebuy or price adjust at costco, it's now $350 there

I went today and they gave me 80 bucks back. I personally think Costco is a better deal since you get one more year of warranty, its double the memory and you have 90 days to return it. Also if you use an American express card you get another year of warranty (3 years total).

Just a heads up.... Best Buy is doing the same. I picked one up taday and got $100 gift card with purchase.
These are still coming with 3.01...

Who wants to save another 10$ ?
I just bought the A500 at walmart (through a friend) and now have the 100$ gift card.
I live in Germany therefore I can't use the gift card. I would sell it for 90$. I would recommend payment via paypal and shipping via email.
Is anybody interested? => please PM

Nobody interested??
New price: 85$

[Q] NC refub, a good idea?

i'm looking for a new tablet and found a refub of NC for 120$ is a refub a good idea?
with all the shipping cost it will go up to 169$, there are also other no name tablets (some of them are good) for this price (with the shipping...)
need some advice

Yes, great deal. I have bought one new nook and one refurb and you could not tell the difference. Do NOT go with a no name tablet or you will be crusing trying to do anything. The Nook is a great low priced tablet that is very hackable and easy to use. Plus it is unbrickable and can boot from an SD card

well... orderd mine a min ago... 127$ with NJ tax + 44$ local tax and shipping...

Ditto on buying a refurbished one. I also bought one new and one refurbished and could not tell difference. But check out the refurbished ones being sold on eBay directly by B&N for $119.00 plus sales tax and free shipping. Look at posts here in this thread for a direct link.

I have a refurb also that I got from Overstock. It was shipped from B&N. Paid 139.
It was in perfect condition with no issues. 1 year warranty.
So...at 119....it is a steal.

I'm glad to see that you guys have good luck with your refurbs. I ordered one from B&N on Ebay last night. $119 plus $9.29 OK sales tax. I can't wait for it to get here.

Refurb is even better than new. They rigorously test the refurbs so they are pristine.

Barnes & Noble is presently selling them on eBay for $129 with free shipping... And since you are essentially buying from B&N warranty issue should also be no problem.

I scored one for 119 plus 7 dollars missouri tax on Sunday night. Its gonna be a xmas present for a 4 year old who won't leave his mommies evo3d alone. I look forward to being part of your community.

It's a great idea mate. I bought mine refurbished with a 1 year warrenty and I'm happy as can be. Buying a NC new at this stage would be a waste in my options as long as you get it from a good source with a trustworthy warrenty furbed.

Get a good deal from B&N with ebates!
Ok, so I learned that ebates doesn't give cash back on Nook purchases. Now if you buy B&N gift cards (not customizable ones), that should qualify for cash back (8% as of now 11/30/11). B&N also has a $10 eGift card for every $100 gift card purchased promotion ($10 to be given after Christmas 12/26/11). Buy $200 in gift cards and get $20 later. You will also qualify for first ebates $10 gift card and cash back ($200 x 8% = $16). So if you're willing to wait for gift cards and cash back later, you can spend $200 and get $30 back in gift cards and $16 cash back via ebates!
http://www.ebates.com/rf.do?referrerid=57425AA/uPYCeMjozi1Qkw==
Found a coupon for $10 gift card for $50 purchased at Target (in store only). Expires 12/3/11.
http://coupons.target.com/facebook-friends-and-fans-coupons
Don't forget to signup with ebates to get cash back and $10 gift card (Target, B&N, others..).

My NC came with very noticeable scratches on the bezel. The screen is perfect dough.

Wow, thanks for the tip! I was actually going there today to get the 32gb version, but think I'd rather get the $100 with the 16gb!

I think they meant $100 gift card for 32GB because page 16 shows $50 for 16GB.

this sounds good best buy should match it. I was thinking of buying one this weekend so I hope best buy will match ot either by giving me 100 gift card or reducing it 100.

I don't know what ad that is, but my Fry's (Roseville, CA) had the $100 gift card for the 16GB model today's weekly ad (which that page is not from) -- and it's correct, because my husband just bought one and got the $100 card . I almost wish I'd waited, as I paid full price for mine at BB. Ah, well!

Wow!
Printed the Fry's deal, took my receipt and the print out to Best Buy...I bought 28 days ago.
Showed the Fry's deal to Customer Service who didn't know what to do. He called the Manager over for me to show to him.
Manager called my local Fry's to confirm stock, then came back and said he couldn't simply give me a gift card for $100, but what he would do is return the Note from the receipt, and resell it for $100 less; so $399.99.
Walked out 20 minutes later $108.25 richer (got the tax savings too)!!
Love Best Buy!!!
:good:

Anyone have any luck getting the $100 with the 32GB? I'd pick up a 2nd one .

Score! Only applies to the Dark Gray model though, not the White (or so said the section manager).

hows their return policy

Unfortunately we dont have a Frys locally and I believe that BestBuy only price matches with local brick and mortars

Wow TXbrad. Grats..
I tried to get a price match at 2 bestbuy stores around my area, Bellevue & Issaquah. Sadly, the managers couldn't do the price match since it's a promotional offer.
Oh well, maybe I should call other stores to find out.
Any success in WA area?

Yup, just left Fry's - got the grey 16gb with the $100 gift card! They wouldn't let me use the card for this sale though, was worth a try, lol. No problem though, I'll probably blow it within a week, ha.

Too bad Bestbuy requires the competing store to have a brick and mortar location in the same city. No Fry's in Charlotte, NC

This is a great deal for the SGN10.1. Even at day 3, every store within 100miles of me still has them in stock which reflects the demand in general. If the same deal were for an iPad -even with a "get $50 gift card"-, every store would have been out in minutes based on past Fry's promotions.
Of course, they don't know what they are missing, but that's exactly the point, despite all the Samsung ads featuring the SGN line. May be few of us should setup a tent in front of Fry's locations for free demos.

The fact most reviewers made the SGN10.1 to be a worthless POS didn't help either.

When I bought my Note, there was an iPad guy looking at the 10.1 Note and he seemed impressed. I've used WACOM-equipped Windows tablets for years so I could really zip along and show the usefulness of the pen.

They don't know what they're reviewing, they probably haven't used a pen of any kind for years.
The Note 10.1 is the tablet the Lenovo Thinkpad *could* have been. No love for N-trig here.

Fry's isn't helping. My local Fry's did something kind of silly: The demo unit of the Note 10.1 was next to a grouping of the Samsung *players* away from the other tablets. If one only went to the tablet section one would never know that the Note 10.1 was even there and my local Fry's has all three versions in stock!

Spent!
Checked out a different Fry's tonight and they had both the official Samsung book cover case and the universal dock.
- case: $60
- dock: $35
Case is kinda a rip-off, but really nice...
Some nice "free" accessories.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) $474.05

Does anyone think the new Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) will sell for less then $474.05 w/free shipping and no tax before Christmas?
New Egg has it for $499.00 and I got an email from New Egg for an additional 5% off anything on the site.
It is sitting in my shopping cart showing $474.05 out the door
Should I pull the trigger or do you think the price will get better in a week or so?
Thanks

Are we talking about the 16gb version...? If so, I think that's the best wet can do before the new year. If it's for the 32gb by chance then must definitely!
I found one on CL for $500 - black 32gb bnib

Best you'll get until next year.

Yes 16 gig and Its a Christmas Gift so I need to pull the trigger soon

How are you getting the 5%?

He was asking if it was a 16gig or a 32 gig tab.
I replied it was for a 16 gig tab.
I pulled the trigger last night and got the price.
I just noticed this morning at Bestbuy, You get $10. credit for every $100 you spend with a $50. max.
So if you bought the tab at Bestbuy for $500. you will get $50. in credit to spend on accessories for it.

NO..............Limit of $50 in savings codes per transaction.

Problem with newegg is if you decide you don't like it, you are stuck. The policy on it is exchange only. No return.

My bad. There are a few different Iron Egg policies and I read the wrong one.

Cheap Note 4

Paid 67.99 for my Note. $50 preorder then traded in a S4 ($200) + Best Buy gift card for purchasing the phone ($50) and had 17.99 remaining for taxes and activation.

Same here except i traded a Sanyo Zio......... worth like 2 cents............. no way were they getting my Note 3.........lol

Bought the 50 buck preorder gift card. Went to store to pick up phone (with a crap trade in) realized I forgot the card, they told me I could bring it in and refund it. Went to my local store to do and the manager said there's no way to do it. He offered to reimburse me the cost of the zag tempered glass though, which was 40 and I got to keep the 50 gift card. So after all that it was like 115 for the note plus a 50 buck gift card. Complicated but I feel good about the result.

Unless I'm really bad at math, you got $300 in promotions. The phone costs $720, so how did you only pay $67.99?

He upgraded with 2 year contract so out of pocket cost is 300. He paid 50 dollar for a gift card as a down-payment to pre-order. He traded in phone and got 200 towards phone so now cost is 100. Got additional 50 for purchasing phone. So cost is now 50 tack on his state taxes of 17.99 equals 67.99

How did you guys get additional $50 gift card for purchasing the phone? Mine $118 otd, $50 preorder + $200 trade in (htc hero).

Best buy gave additional 50. They advertised it

I sort of paid $79 for mine after taxes and deposit (or 109 with the Amazon phone I traded in).
There's the $50 deposit, $200 for trading in an HTC Hero (that I paid $30 for), $50 GC for buying a phone this year at BB.
I say sort of because I got a $700 credit in store for my Note 2 as well since I kept having hardware issues with 3 Note 2's within a week. That also got me a Galaxy Gear Neo 2, WB350 Camera, a few other other small things.

This is in the sprint section. What abt the Verizon model?
sent from your moms phone

Imma have to take a visit to Bestbuy and see if they can honored the $50 bucks.

where is this extra $50 gift card everyone is talking about being advertised? please link
I got the $200 gift card for my trade in but i have not seen anything about another $50 GC...

There's two that I've heard of. One is a $50 coupon for trading in a phone; supposedly not many have luck with that one since it double dips. There's another one that is for the BB Reward members from February or so who signed up and said they'd buy a phone this year; I got this one. They basically have this one every year and you get it as long as you sign up, and buy a phone within that year. It'll pop up when you give them the phone number for your RZ account.

Got my Note 4 todya for $25 thanks to the wonder that is icrap. thank you SO MUCH apple for my Note 4
