$299 GTab at Circuit City and Tiger Direct - G Tablet General

First woot, now Cicuit City and Tiger Direct bave sub $300 prices!
Get it people... GET IT!!!!
Circuit City code: KGT24484
Tiger Direct Coupon code is in LucasMN thread below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1008108
and note: if you bought from Tigerdirect in last 30 days they have price protection policy... not MATCH, but protection

Does anyone bother to look and see if their topic has already been posted before starting a thread?
There are two other threads announcing this deal just in the last 2 hours.

Tiger Direct = Circuit City = Comp USA

I was going to post about it too because i didn't see it. Good thing this forum is so cool! It prompted me saying there was a posting already similar to mine, listing it so you can verify. Pretty cool.

As a supplement of information, Tigerdirect price protection will issue a "store credit", not a refund.

Just pulled the trigger on this. My hesitation during the Woot sale cost me $20 ($307 shipped from TD), but it gave me a few more days to research and decide, so I suppose it's not so bad.

for 300 USD is worth it? or should i wait?

349.99 this Friday and Saturday at Sears

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...

Sears 10% off sale 12/18/10

Bought Gtablet 12/2 and returned 2 days later. Bought back today at $379 due to the excellent progress from the Geniuses on this forum. Been following the progress for 2 weeks and finally came back to Gtablet.
Saw flyer for 10% off sale for electronic items for tomorrow. Don't know if the Gtablet will be included. In the small print on the bottom, flyer mentioned computers do not apply. Will go back tomorrow and try to get 10% refund and savings buy 32/64 gb microsd.
Great hardware + great software + great support = great product. The great software support is found in this forum.
Charging Gtab, can't wait to root and flash.
I believe the 10% applied go gtablet. I was at sears yesterday and the sales guy asked me to stop in tomorrow to get the 10% off on $379
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Hold up. So we can get the discount after we already purchased the gtab? I got mine just last week and a little more off would be great!
Does it need to have any flyer to get the 10%?
Of course you should be able to take advantage of the discount even if you bought it last week. Even if they don't have price protection, if you have your original receipt, do the following: buy a new G Tab with the discount, then use your first receipt to return that unopened one for the full, $379 refund. Money in your pocket.
FWIW though, I just tried to apply the online coupon to the G Tab, and it said the item was not covered by the coupon. You may luck more luck with sales associates though, since Sears' own description does NOT call the G Tab a computer (which the coupon excludes), but rather just a tablet. I was able to use that argument at Staples for a discount the other week. Good luck!
Sears 10% off sale 12/18/10
Yes. Just save extra $38.00 .Coupon on sear.com
Online is not accepting the coupon on g tablet.
Save yourselves the trip. I stopped at my local Sears retail outlet in Niles, Illinois, and asked about the 10% electronics sale -- they knew about it, tried to apply it to the in stock g-tablets and said the code does NOT work. They had a copy of the flyer right there and said they've used the code for other electronics today already. They also tried to do a price match on the tablet I purchased last week and the code would not work there either. So no joy here.

I just tried to buy one and the coupon does not work. Otherwise,I would be able to get one arounf 300 dollars using my discover card (another 10% from Sears)
Sorry, the 10% off coupon does not apply to Viewsonic Gtablet. It is considered a computer. Did not work for online order.
I went to sears to pick this up and the 10% coupon didnt work. I did get a 5% discount on $379..
On Saturday night December 18 the local Sears near Camden, NJ, had both the gTablet ($380) and the VS case in stock and for sale. I was looking for a network device, to no avail.

Yea, $379 is the sale price until Xmas. They are normally supposed to be $399.
I managed to get mine for $349 last week. Would have been ecstatic to get it for $315.
The 10% discount does not apply on the gTab, however I managed to get the discount thanks to a mistake the sales person made the day before when I went to pick it up, he told me I should wait and come back the next day so I can save 10% thanks to the "family and friends" sale, but the next day he noticed hat the Tab was excluded, but he honored the mistake and apply the discount anyway!
I love my Vegan moded gTab!
Picked one up today as a gift for my father.
Office Depot, $369 sale price.
Taking it back tomorrow, the thing is SO not ready for consumer use. Tons of force closes on first boot, the handango market is asstacular, the entire experience is a train wreck.
And I can't believe how bad the display is off angle, and how narrow the "on angle" is.
And what did they use to polish the glass with? It is actually rough feeling.
The demo model in the store was locked to the angled display case so it looked ok there, and was so greasy with fingerprints it didn't feel bad.
Maybe I'm spoiled after using a Galaxy Tab for the last month. But frankly I'd be embarrassed to give this thing to anyone. Hell, it makes me embarrassed to be an Android tablet supporter.
And since my dad fell in love with my Tab, I don't think he'd really enjoy the Viewsonic in comparison.
Even the devs here can't save this thing from that display. Shame, because the rest of the hardware seems decent enough.

Gtab for $299.00 @ TigerDirect

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)

[INFO] An FYI if you bought HP Touchpad accessories full price

Just an FYI if you bought the Touchpad case or Touchstone charger full price from stores such as Staples or Office Depot. Most of these stores have a policy of refunding the difference if they drop the price shortly after you bought it. In Staples' case, it is 14 days. Bought my case at Staples for $50, since they were almost sold out and no one else in town had them. Next day, it dropped $20, refund was no problem.
You just saved me $30! Much thanks
Is there a coupon code or something I need to print out first or did the price simply drop indefinitely?

No coupon needed, but just in case print off the discounted item from their website.
Charger
So far the only thing I have paid full price for was the charger dock and I only bought I because it was the only one I could find online or anywhere.
Got it at Walmart of all places and even though on their own website it was listed for $35.00 they would not sell it to me at that price, thats probably why they still had one in stock, she said we are not price matching to which I replied even if its your own price?
seems kinda dumb I am going to keep looking see if I can come up with one somewhere else but I will keep an eye on Walmart in case they drop the price and go back and get the difference back....maybe if I write an email to them explaining the situation???
Oh well thanks for the tip

$49.99 Success Stories

Hey All,
Just wondering if anyone has had any success getting a price match from other retailers (ATT, Best Buy etc) on the $49.99 price advertised last week through Amazon and Radioshack. I ask because I tried today with Best Buy after a user posted a receipt image indicating that he was able to get a Best Buy in FLA to sell it for 49.99. I really want this phone and the cheaper the better. Thoughts?
Dude read the thread three threads down.....
killing is my business, And business is good.
I went to two Best Buy's with a copy of that receipt and they both said that the employee who did the price match was making an error. They only match advertised price. Radio shack never advertised $50, it was a pricing error. Plus even if they did have a special pre-order price, that advertising ended when the device released on the 6th, and now all places are advertising $200.
The guy in florida got lucky with a dumb bestbuy employee (who will probably get in a lot of trouble)
I missed the Amazon sale, but Amazon matched the RadioShack price. $50 shipped w/ no tax. WINNING!
Billy
That was my receipt
So much win
I got AT&T to match Radioshack's $149.99 deal.
The best I managed was my local Best Buy matching Amazon.
I got the original Amazon deal when they matched RS's $50. I wish I bought two then =*(

actually that thread is about people who got a $50 HOX from radioshack. This thread is about people who had success in getting that price honored at other places. Next time try and read both threads. would help you not look so rude/ like a jerk.
ATT matched my price, I called support and mentioned I was worried about loosing my unlimited data and the rep said he could match.
My exact sentiments. I'm going to keep trying to get it for less even though it is probably futile.
