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.

Just FYI for anyone looking to get a GTablet it is going on sale again on Thanksgiving Day at Sears for $379.
Not as good as getting it from Sears Outlet for $200-$250 but it's still better then the normal price of $399. If it's worth standing outside on line all morning to save 20 bucks though, well that's up to you .
http://bfads.net/Sears-Black-Friday-ViewSonic-16GB-10-Android-Tablet
EDIT: Should mention though that for any of us that did pay 399 within 14 days of Thanksgiving Day, we can go in to get a price match.

Oh really? Will we get the free case too? Does anyone know if sears usually have a long line during Thanksgiving?
Viewsonic G Tablet for $360.99
Also the Sears Thanksgiving ad states that you get an extra 5% off with a Sears card. My math makes that $19 bringing the price down to $360.99.
There is stock in Office Depot and Staples that is for sale now. Office Depot has a working demo.
Even better deal!
Got mine at Sears for $340 if I bought a $50 2-year no questions asked replacement plan. It even includes wear & tear...
They way we are flashing these days is not a bad option... Scratch it, crack it, drop it, it is fixed or replaced for free....
Cant' wait for more ROMs to make to the forum. It is an absolute fantastic device with the exception of the crappy wrapper Viewsonic put on 2.2. Knowing the XDA developers now (from owning a Samsung Galaxy S) it would be just a few weeks and we will have plenty of choices....
This Friday and Saturday!
hell yes lol, was picking mine up in the morn
Where exactly on this ad are you seeing that Sears is selling it for this price this Friday and Saturday? I just bought mine this past weekend so I'm still in my 30 day window where I can go in and demand $30 back since I bought it for $379.99.
yea looked up sears ad not seeing it
See that price is more reasonable. They should just keep it at that price.

Their price protection is for 14days. I just got off chat with a sears rep and they say go into store and you will be taken care of.
I even told them I could return it and buy it at staples with the sears price.
I think we should be taken care of, I will be going down Fri or Sat with receipt in hand!

Just got off the phone with Sears and they had no clue what the hell I was talking about. Someone please verify which site that coupon comes from.
No G Tablet in my Sears ad
Got my paper here in N California this morning with the Sears ad for Friday and Saturday and there is no G tablet on sale in it.
Bummer
pissed me off lol
I have until Saturday for my 14 day price match window at Staples. I already price matched it to $380.... $350 would be even better!
Sent from my DROID2 using XDA App
If it goes down to $350 I'm not only getting my price match but I'll buy another.
I searched everywhere on the Sears site and didn't find it for $350. I actually saw one for $399, and then it was listed again with a different picture and description for $379.
Weird...
Maybe it's all a cruel joke...
My Sears ad for Friday and Saturday only shows an Asus netbook. No gtab
please remove this thread lol
Got into a fight at a sears tonight with manager because they didn't have my refurb when i got confirmation. ended up getting a brand new one price matched to the "refurb" price. It rang as 349.99 original price on the receipt if that helps anyone. This was in PA.
crap... my 14d w/Staples were up Monday!
I knew that I should've returned it and bought one at Sears!
Okay, I'm really confused. Where did this ad come from?
My Fri/Sat ad for Cincinnati doesn't even show a GTab in it, and the weekly ad that ends tomorrow says its $379.99 still, and then, the website says $399.99. When I got my price match at staples for $379.99 on Monday, the website showed that price. Now it doesn't.
Is Sears as confused as we are?

Just call and ask them. Price they would charge will show up when they enter the sku. Sears is pretty good with coordinating prices with their adds.

Site looks pretty screwed up ATM. It shows $379.99 but when you click on it for the specific page it then shows $399.99 ...
Yeah, I did a price match to $379.99 on Monday as well instead of returning it.
[EDIT]
Looked in the online weekly ad and didn't see it there either, but there was a BT Garmin GPS which is kind of tempting, but I want something smaller w/o display...

Just recieved an e-mail:
TigerDirect has the Gtab on sale for $299.99 with Coupon code BOU24478.
Says it's a 72 hour deal.
If you missed the deal at woot, now is your chance to save a little money on it.
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=7212231&CatId=6957
Since you can't post a link yet there it is for everyone to make it easy. Also for those who haven't ordered from Tiger direct. They're great ship fast and no tax unless you're in Florida.
Just ordered one. $307 with shipping. Great deal! Thanks for the heads up.
TigerDirect prolly bought 5k of the 10k sold, lol.
Sell them for $15 more...
$15x5000 = whoa
So where does the coupon code go?
Edit - never mind. Finally found it at the bottom of the cart...
Returning my item bought on 3/16
I bought my g Tablet from them for $349.99 on 3/16. I am returning it. Also, I got one from woot this week.
I bought one from tigerdirect.ca on Sunday for $399CAD (received it Tuesday). I just emailed them and they're refunding me the $60 difference on the new price drop.
Great Forum
Ordered mine with a 32 Gig SD card. Thanks to everyone for all the great information and all the hard work. I have no doubt I will be enjoying this for a very long time.
Yea, I'm kicking myself for buying one for $100 more than the woot deal just long enough ago that I can't return it. Goodbye resale value.
Thank you LucasMN for the deal info, and thank you jcdsilva for pointing out Tigerdirect's 30 price protection policy... I was the one who posted the $339 deal a few weeks back and already emailed them about refunding me the difference!!! Now I don't have to bang my head against the wall while cursing WOOT WOOT WOOT!!!!
Yet again, guilty... just ordered 5
Thanks for the heads-up. Wife's been wanting one of these and the 3 bills price point was my target. She'll be happy!

cool... that was nice of them.
Exact thing happened to me. I missed their $20 deal by 1 day, bought it for $399 on Sun, got it a couple of days ago and today it's on for $60 less...
So what did you say to persuade them to give you the refund?
Thanks....
man i shoulda waited for this deal instead of jumping on woot. The shipping at tiger is dirt cheap in contrast to other etailers and I could expect the product to be shipped same day. Now since woot doesn't have a real order history that shows order status, I have to basically watch it like a hawk to see when my order ships because my area is high crime. Most packages get stolen if not immediately intercepted.
Buggah, can't order online for international delivery.
Have to make phone call.....
Just ordered mine with 2-day shipping. $311, not bad considering Office Depot was $379 and Sears was $399.
If video chats were viable, I would have no qualms in buying my 2nd unit from CC/TD/Compusa

Many thanks to the OP and all who posted here. I did pick up one from Tiger Direct today using the posted code.
I dithered all day on the Woot deal finally telling myself not to buy version one of anything. Then was at Best Buy and played with the iPad one and two which sold me on the concept.
With Woot charging sales tax and Tiger not I will actually save about $2.

Just to note, it's a few more states than that:
"We only charge tax in FL, IL, NC, TX, GA, SD and ID"
(I knew they'd have to charge tax in IL because they have a warehouse in the Chicago burbs and have a couple stores as well)
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.

If your buying the ASUS "Transformer" make sure you order the optional wheels.

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!
When Office Depot put the VS GTab on sale at $299.00 I quickly jumped into the Android Tablet market and bought one. I love it, it has served me well. In fact, I still have it AND use it along with the several other tablets I now own...
When I walked into Office Depot yesterday, I was shocked to see the cost on the VS GTab has gone back up to $399.00! I was sure the cost of the GTab would decline given all the other tablets currently on the market. Glad to see the GTab holding its value.
Saw that too
But it was right next to the ASUS Transformer running 3.1 and selling for $419 ($399 at Staples). I don't think they were selling many GTabs. Too bad ViewSonic doesn't release an updated OS.
It's still $299 at their web site:
http://www.officedepot.com/a/products/134043/ViewSonic-G-Tablet-101-Android-22/
I just last week purchased one through Amazon for $259 free shipping, no tax.
I also have a Nook Color running CM7 which I love for portablity and the gorgeous screen.

Yes, you can get it through Woot's Amazon Storefront:
http://www.amazon.com/ViewSonic-gTa...1KWJVS57NX03I&s=generic&qid=1310945392&sr=1-1
Or you can by one off one of the guys here & save some money in the process.
I think the price you saw in the store is probably more from an outdated shelf tag.
BTW, tigerdirect has had the Gtab for $269 for several months now.
