The Staples paper has the tablet on the front page. The sears has it on pg. 33. Just thought I would let everyone know. Sears is still $379.99 Staples is $399.99.
I guess all the returns are not a concern as of yet to they are still advertising them.
I have attached pics of the ads. The Staples one is the most amusing from seeing all the responses on the forums.
I was at my local Staples yesterday for other reasons, and asked them on the status of the tablet (ie. did they have any clearance items, yet?). They actually told me Flash is working as of last week, and are advertising it as such.
I told them that they might want to called customer service because Flash isn't available (officially), yet. Also interesting that their AD shows this, as well. Do they know something that we don't?

When I went to office depot, they said I must be thinking of best buy or staples. Silly office depot. Nice work on the pricematch.
Nice, bought mine at Staples on Nov 21st and was able to price adjust to Sears' $379 yesterday.

I can't open the coupon.
The PDF is corrupted...
here is the coupon they were referring to
http://s.fatwallet.com/static/attachments/45438_december2010custapp.pdf
They let you use this coupon? I tried to use the 10% off coupon (with the same terms) on 11/27 and the POS system blocked it. I argued that this wasn't a laptop or a desktop, but they couldn't (or perhaps wouldn't) override it.
That's the coupon . I asked the store manager and he used it because it mentions nothing about tablets, does state no desktops or laptops.
It doesn't have a bar code just instructions for the cashier to key in 10% discount.
Any chance of price matching to Sears and then adding a coupon?
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...

Staples has an extended return policy through the holidays, and it includes electronics. You have 30 days minimum.

I bought before 11/26 though... the Monday before, i.e. 11/22 ... my price guarantee was marked as an "exchange" though (new receipt)... hmmm....
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.
Sent from my GT-P1000
Has anyone else noticed that the G-table is no longer for sale at Sears.com? Only via their outlet site. If you search their site for "tablet" or " viewsonic" it can't be located. If you Google it, you can find a link to Sears here you will now find a "currently unavailable " message its been like this since this past weekend.
I have also read on engadget that they were look to become a reseller of the Blackberry Playbook.
i walked into a sears 4 days ago and unsuspectingly came across a display priced at $369. of course they were out. $379 staples
$350 at Jr.com
Sears still has it http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_SP100A2775S2828562602P?prdNo=1&blockNo=1&blockType=G1

And that's shipped.
As of 3/15, the J&R Music website has it listed at $359 but if you go to the Buy.com website and search for viewsonic g-tablet, it will come up as $349 (sold by J&R/Marketplace).

This current listing at Sears.com appears to be a new entry in their catalog. And now with a lower price. Cool $379.
$349 free shipping at tigerdirect.com Ordered mine today and can't wait.!
I posted a few days ago on how I scored a GTab fo $339 shipped from tiger direct

Just was in Sears in Vegas, they still had them in store.
I seen them at Sears a week ago
Electrinic express
In Local Sears for $379
Display and asked at local store today, and told they had them in stock.
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:

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.

I asked the foolio about that and he said that it had been on sale for several months but now that was the current price. Who knows... He probably thinks it runs on Windows too...

WHOA, this deal has been in Amazon for months???? I bought mine in woot.com when the price is 249.99 dollars. I thought it was a "one-time rare lucky deal", and I never know they posted a 255dollars in amazon for a long time......
Still, love woot and their Gtabs
