The viewing angles finally got the best of me...
The Electronics MGR must have seen me coming...he had the return process mostly done by the time I got to the counter. I didn't even have to give a reason.
He mention that he had gotten 30 in. He sold 8. All 8 came back.
He also mentioned that none of the sales team was recommending it, because it's bad for the bottom line...
Did they charge you the %15? Also, which Sears?
Yeah, which one. I need to pick them up at $279 a piece!

Stuff is usually more expensive in Hawaii... how much?
Do you guys think most sears have returned gtabs?
http://www.searsoutlet.com/10-Andro...md&cid=1483&pn=1&ps=10&pid=70612&mode=buyUsed
I would almost be afraid to order from there. Had anyone ordered from the outlet? The site mentions scratched items.
Inticing at 100 off retail...what do ya all think?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Gotta be in ny for that one.
I just picked up my second G tab from the Sears in Scranton PA. Ordered from searsoutlet for 279. This one is a gift for my brother.
When I got to the customer pickup the lady said that "they don't get stuff from sears outlet" and that the tablet she got for me was from a pile of other tablets.
The package was unopened...and when i unboxed the tablet it looked completely untouched.
So bottom line is..I got a brand new tablet for 279.
Im not sure what the deal is with the searsoutlet but i know that tabs pop up a lot...and I don't see how they could have been sent back and forth to China for refurbishing?..?
CLick on the "refurbished" link. That is the term they use for anything NOT new! LOL!
I just realized that you cant order it to be delivered anyways... so must be a way for them to get rid of open box product and such. Closest one to me is Alabama ... and I am in California oh well.
Holy cow 8 out of 8 returned? After showing mine to a client the other day I told them if they wanted one to wait until Honeycomb comes out in 2011 and the bugs are worked out. Being that I would be the one supporting it.
I'm waiting for one to show up in the local Sears Outlet here, with the state this thing is in by default, $400 is way too high.
Viewsonic is going to catch hell from a bunch of retailers over this one.. Sears, Staples, Office Max (?), any others selling this lemon?
The fine folks here on XDA are making good strides on the tablet, and I suspect soon there will be good ROM that "just works", but out-of-box this thing is total crap and the 8 of 8 returned doesn't surprise me one bit.
THey may be out of stock but the site is now giving awat 9 quadrillion dollars with the purchase of the tablet... do you think this is a good deal

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.
G-Tablet for $280 new...

Great price for NEW....
Just ordered one myself, great deal!
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)
Just noticed this in my e-mail.
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicat...WEM2638&cm_mmc=RSS-_-TigerDirect-_-Main-_-RSS
nice
prob saw the sale that woot had and did the same. if i hadnt already bought mine from there id buy this.
Got mine from TD. Bought it Sunday, arrived at my door on Wednesday. I've had bad experiences with them in the past, but they came through this time.
really? only thing i bought from them before was a logitech harmony one remote for like 110 or 120. was a good deal at the time (and might still be) in my mind. glad it worked out well for you though
Well it was mostly with their rebates -- they will go to great lengths not to redeem them. Maybe they've gotten better about that, but they were pretty infamous for that years ago. But when I saw this deal a few days ago (it was a coupon that put it down to $299), and after I skipped the Woot deal, I jumped on it.
Tigerdirect
Dang... beat me to the punch on this one!
Did anyone else notice that the Gtab was on the front page of Tigerdirect.com? (It was the second of three rotating adds for me.)
-Buzzz
I dont know about anywhere else, but in Grand Rapids MI, they ship in about a day to 2 at most. They are usually a bit more than newegg for things not on sale, but if i need it quick, i order from them.
My GF just ordered two of these from TD... one for each of us. We're looking forward to seeing what they'll do with a little "tweaking"
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.

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
