Hmmm.. It says You save $83.30. Is the retail price for the Gtab $499?
If so, seems like we've been getting a good deal !
Jim

On Saturday they had it for 399, I know because I bought it for that price. Combined with Prime and two $50 Visa giftcards, I was able to buy it with a 16gb SD card for $328 and get it on Wednesday. No docking station like the Sears deal but still incredibly satisfied. Many thanks to the devs on this forum and all the testers etc. making this tablet the great gadget it is today.

hmmm... I was ALWAYS of the opinion that for what it was, even $379 was high and that $299.99 would've been a more reasonable price especially given that the Sears here had the display between two cheaper and more capable netbooks... just because it's a "tablet" doesn't make it magically worth more...

Looking for G Tablet

Looking for a G Tablet in nice condition. Please keep in mind brand new ones from retailers are going for $360. I'm pretty new here but have feedback at other forums(overclock.net,howardforums, and headfi) and ebay.
sell you one for 350 plus a 16gb card and a custom case if you want. plus box and everything etc.
6ave now has it for $343 with a coupon code so.... Keep your offers reasonable.
I may entertain selling mine however the mini USB is loose and would require you to solder it back in place. Everything else works. I was thinking $250. Would come with TNT Lite installed. I do have the custom skin on the back and a Kindle case too. The original box and cloth would be included too.

I have one for $300 shipped USPS w/ paypal. Brought it new from Sears a few months ago. Everything is working fine and there's no major scratches. Email me if you're interested. I can probably snap a few pix for you. My email is my xda username at gmail. Also the same username for ebay for feedback reference.
I have one as well with the original box and cover and have no scratches on the screen. I had ipad screen protecter on the gtablet since I have bought it. You can have it for 325 shipped with box and cover and all of the proms and kernel saved in nice folders.
You can make me a reasonable offer as well.
$325
Comes with Box - paperwork
I will also throw in the following:
zpad malata leather case
zpad hdmi dock
carbon fiber skin for the back (already installed)
and free ups ground shipping to non-po box addresses
I had a few scratches on the back of mine - thus the reason I wanted the carbon fiber skin. The dock has hardly been used and the leather case I have only had since janurary.
The battery charging light doesnt come on any more - but the screen shows its charging.
The device has Vegan 3 or 4 on it and I will throw in a 4gb memory card
I can accept paypal or credit cards through my company website.
If I have no takers by Thursday morning its going on ebay for the weekend
$325 takes mine also. (Dock included)
Comes in box, like new. Only had mine for a couple weeks. Have receipt w/date.
Tablet form factor not for me. I require a laptop/netbook for my needs.
Included are the following:
Viewsonic G Tablet in box like new, no scratches
Dock with power, HDMI, Ethernet, USB
4GB MicroSD card
Has TNT G-Harmony ROM Installed currently
$270 shipped is what I am hoping to get it down to. Many people are offering to sell theirs at $300 shipped, its hardly a deal anymore, its the "regular" price for this item.
Also, Please PM me if your actually interested in selling yours. Its getting rather confusing with some many people posting offers.
I paid $415 including tax for mine less than 1 month ago. I am including a dock that I paid $45 for and an 8GB card valued at least $10. That = $470 and you want me to take a $200 hit cause you want a deal. It's barely used, it is brand new. Good luck finding one in this condition for that price with these accessories, but I am not going to make it easy for you.
$300 is not the "regular" price, nice tactic though.

new gtabs on woot.com $284.99

Gtab for sale
Please see post #5. Today only woot.com is selling them for 279.99 +5 for shipping. Was selling mine, but I won't compete with that price.
A couple of things...
No pictures is not good. I refuse to buy something I can't see.
I just ordered a brand new one for $350. Without seeing or knowing the condition of yours it would be hard for me to pull the trigger and choose yours over a new one where at least I understand where to return if needed.
thanks for the info, I'll post pics tomorrow. Where did you get your gtab for $350?
go ebay for auction there is only 320-340 for one. Also u can buy the G tablet from China manufature just 300 usd for each including shipping, but they only accept a VIP group purchase something like 100 people a group, then they will give you a disscount.
one day only sale. no tax unless you're in texas
Woot has them today for $279, and I have heard for awhile Sears Outlet has them for $279 as well. I have heard lots of bad things bout the G Tab so came here to research if I should pick one up to play with heh.
Awesome, I am in Texas and get hit with the tax, but still that is cheaper than the one I ordered. Just cancelled my other order.
Was just coming here to post this too. I'm in for one. I've been watching the development for the Gtab since the beginning, so happy I finally found one at a great price at the same time that I had the funds to get it.
Damn. I ordered from jr.com for $350 free shipping. They just shipped it out today.
Anyway, I went ahead and ordered from woot anyway. I guess I'll try to either return the jr one or sell it.
Wow...a few bucks more than a Nook Color. My wife and I already have those...But I couldnt' resist for this price. This thing sounds awesome.
Actually it's $279.99 + $5 shipping, makes a difference because I ordered 2 and they only charged the $5 once. (Perfect timing, my girlfriend just decided this was the tablet she wanted, and at that price I wanted one too.)
This is crazy, I just bought one of these on Amazon today for $100 more. Looks like I'll be sending that one back. This just saved me a $100, this is wonderful! Never heard of woot before now either, oddly enough seems they're owned by Amazon too.

They shouldn't be able to charge you for return shipping if you refuse delivery. If it's already arrived and you signed for/opened it you're probably too late though.
Just bought one. This will be my 2nd Gtablet which I'll use to flash ROMs. Better than SEARS outlet.
So do I buy one of these? I was holding out for an Android tablet that would run honeycomb and didn't come with a carrier contract.
The price seems so tempting.
Edit: Too late put the order in couldn't resist. $320 less than what a 32gb wifi xoom will be or $220 less than a 16gb galaxy tab.

Doesn't surprise me at all. I expect prices to go down much further in the coming months. From my one month experience with the Xoom, most people ask me if I am using an iPad. And when I say it is a Xoom Android tablet, I get a look of confusion. That is the problem coming late to the party. Maybe the iPad 2 shortages will help make people more aware that there are other options like Xoom. I just wish Google would get all of the missing features fixed (microSD card) along with better stability with apps. The frustration with force closures of existing apps on the Xoom will frustrate clueless consumers. The compatibility checks being done on Google Market and Amazon appstore are a joke right now. Getting the market apps to not allow download if it is going to force close is a huge first step to a better user experience.
Who care if it drops $10.00. I've already used it and enjoy it since Friday. Over 3 days of playing with it. Would I return it and buy it for $10.00 lower. Heck no.
Would they ever drop another $50.00? Not any time soon. Keep in mind that the sweet spot price range has already been established by Apple to be the norm. That is $599.99 for 32GB WIFI device. So no matter if it is Motorola, Samsung, or LG. As long as the spec is comparable, if not better and has 32GB. They will try to price it close if not exact.
Everyone want a piece of the pie Apple baked. Late or not, there are plenty of pie for everyone. We live in the world of over 3 billions people. You think there is a PERFECT device for everyone. Nope.
I think what'll happen is that Moto will come out with a different SKU with less "stuff," say 16GB storage and no GPS, and price it at the $499 level. This both justifies the current Xoom pricing, at the same time allow the Xoom to be price-competitive.
I think the price drop has more to do with trying to compete with Costco and Sams clubs competitive pricing from the beginning, don't think too much should be read into this.
Amazon was also offering the wifi version for $589 during the pre order period long before it was released.
You should be able to just take the receipt in and they adjust the price...I did mine yesterday.
OH NO A PRICE DROP AFTER ONE DAY! THEY MUST BE DISCONTINUING OUR DEVICE! WHAT WILL WE EVER DO! DAMN THAT PRICE COMPETITION AND MULTIPLE VENDORS!!!!
There, am I doing it right?
guess what, costo is now selling it for 589

Costco has been selling the wifi xoom for $589 from day 1. It is actually the other retailers like amazon and best buy that are trying to match costco's price point.

Yep. The difference is the required costco membership if u don't already have it. And from my experience buying one yesterday they're getting extremely tight on people buying them with friends and even families member cards.

It still has to be your membership card matching your ID. They checked when I bought mine.
Went in to Best Buy today to pick up a WiFi XOOM for the $589 price, and was amazed that they had none at all in stock. Very disappointing.
In fact all my local Best Buy stores list the XOOM WiFi as "ship to store" rather than in stock.
In additon, they had a big sign under the XOOM display for the Verizon subsidized pricing: $600 price is only with a 10 GB/month contract for $80/month! That floored me.
To add insult to injury, if you opt for a 5GB/month contract the XOOM is $650!
and that contract is $50 per month. They didn't even mention the $20 1GB contract.
Its almost like the retailers want the XOOM to fail. Of course the salesman had no trouble producing a 64GB wifi version of the iPad2, which he actually had in stock. I ended up walking out.
Guess I'm going to try Staples next.

This thread is pertaining to the WiFi version, not the 3G version, btw. But either way...
The plan deals for the 3G version are the same from every store, on account that its contracted through Verizon for data. Verizon charges that much for every data device (laptops, USB sticks, and tablets). Costco even rebates back your activation fee after 3 months of service. Be mad at Verizon for their data prices, not Costco for advertising them.
I'm surprised they had iPad 2s available. They're sold out most places.

I know, not blaming Best Buy for that, just added it as an aside, because I hadn't realized that they try to push you into the $80 plan for the $600 price and then scalp you for an extra $50 when they get you on the $50 plan - Verizon is just unreal with their pricing.
I do blame Best Buy for not having any WiFi XOOMs available though. I mean, come on, Best Buy is a major electronics chain. Even staples lists them in stock by now.
And the "ship to store" on their website isn't very encouraging. Makes me wonder if they will only be ordering them on request.
The iPad 2 thing took me by surprise too. I just asked, expecting them to say no, but the salesman said he had 2, and even went in back and brought out one box to show me.
Have to admint, I was tempted there for a moment. Even if I had decided to go the iPad 2 route, both of them were white, and I never really liked the white one anyway...

Well again that's Verizons plan pricing. Best Buy has to advertise the exact way that Verizon advertises for the 3G version.
Best Buy has been this way forever as far as only having a limited number of units. For many major launches they honestly only have 4-5 units per store. Best Buy has to spread out their stock to all the different stores. Again, blame Motorola for not shipping enough units, not Best Buy for only having a few at launch lol.
Personally my local Costco had a rack full of these things in 2 different displays on the floor. It really depends which store you're in and how many people were interested in the product.

Too bad they can't match a 90 day open box return policy and free extended warranty. Not to mention a free gel case as well.

So long g-tab!!!!

I am selling my G-Tab...going to try to get a Honeycomb tablet. I have the Following:
Good Condition G-Tablet
Box w/Docs
USB cable
A/C Adapter
***BONUS****
The Keyboard/Case
(http://www.amazon.com/Viewsonic-G-T...9N1O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1301587480&sr=8-1)
All for just $375 w/ FREE Shipping in my paypal account (US Only unless you want to pay the difference in shipping)
PM me with offers and questions
Dude most people here would not buy the G-Tab for more then $300. They had a $280 woot the other day. Sell it for $300 and you will get bites.
Amazon has it for $340.
Also, Get the $400 Asus eee honeycomb that is coming out for Best buy. $150 more but you get IPS and honeycomb.
This post makes me sad . Ordered my Woot tablet last week for $279.99 and it arrives today! I don't want to see someone selling!
and yeah considering like half the people here now got a tablet on woot, good luck for selling it for a hair over $284.99.
I hate to say it, these folks are right, your price is a little high. You may want to wait and let the fine devs do their thing to provide us with a nice honeycomb rom.

You can't blame him. He probably got it when the gtab was still in the $350-400 range.
Added by edit.
PS - My elderly dad wants one after he saw me using it. He mainly wants to use it to surf the net while sitting on his comfortable chair and have a 10 inch screen gps. I'm waiting for it to go sub 300 again to buy it for him.

Considering that it is looking like that Asus will be closer to £400 than $400, I wouldn't be in a rush to trade up to it just yet. $150 for IPS and honeycomb is one thing, $300+ is another.

Don't always compare pricing from other countries to how US pricing will work out. Companies rarely do that themselves. For example a 160gb ps3 on amazon uk that's been discounted from 255 pounds to 229 pounds. 229 pounds is $369 that same ps3 sells on Amazon's US website for $299.99 $70 less than the Brit's discounted price. The UK usually gets shafted the most when it comes to electronic prices so they're the worse to convert to what the US price will be.
After finding out about the Asus Eee Transformer yesterday, I immediately sold my gTablet for $280 on Craig's List (which included an extra AC adapter and the Mazata dock). That's what I had paid for it myself a few weeks ago, so I'm breaking even. If the retail prices for the Transformer floating around on the Internet are accurate, that could be a killer tablet. I can't wait to get my hands on one of these puppies!
Ron
Well guys, I must admit... I had some fun with the gtablet... for a couple days. Then my mom came over last night and flashed her iPad 2. I know these devices are different, but the screen is SO much better. And it's so much lighter! In any case, the gtablet is not for me. I've put mine on eBay. I started the bidding at 1 cent, and I have 100% seller rating so I know some of you are looking for a second tablet - this might be your chance!

In need of gtab

I have one that you can have it with the box for $265 shipped. I have it rooted running CM7.

I was hoping to get closer to $200 or lower.
I am going to keep mine. Sorry I can't go that low.
I might have a deal for you. Give me a day to think it over though.

The only gtab that was sold for under $200 on this forum had a cracked glass.
I think the retail stores are still $300+ tax so $200 is a little cheap. I can't see it going that cheap until way down the road. Even $300 since the eee pad is going to be $400 (if you can find one) is not unreasonable.
I have a sealed in the box I'd let go. $310 and I'd be happy, which is a few bucks less than retail at least.

For sure you would be happy, but I highly doubt the buyer would be.
$310 right now is as unreasonable as these sub $200 requests, mainly because you can get one brand new in box with full 12 months manufacturer warranty shipped to your door for $275 all in from amazon.
Buy with any major credit card and you get another 12 months of warranty on top (for the same $275 all in).
That said, even at more common $300 (all in current gtab retail price), the extra $100 for a BNIB transformer is well justified (IMHO) given the IPS screen, native HC, built in GPS and docking ability.
To be fair, $250 with some accessories seems to be the norm on this board, which makes sense given that any of the accessories I have seen offered would have cost at least another $30~$50 (cases, docking station or skinomi's)
Would this get even lower ? hell yes, but not now, just wait till the transformer has enough stock for them to start sales.
As some has pointed before, your best chance at getting the maximum possible offer is a private sale to an unsuspecting neighbor via CL or Kijiji.
Best of luck any way ..
