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.

Keep your eyes on TigerDirect -- I got mine for $307 shipped, surely there will be another discount code soon.

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!

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

New user here. Would like to pick up a reasonable priced gtab for my wife. Anyone have on for sale? Thanks

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.

anyone have one for sale under 200? Would like to get one for my mom for mothers day ^_^

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.

I have one that I want to sell. It has the original OS so you can tweak yourself.
Asking price is $275.00

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 ..

[Q] Would you trust this refurbished model?

Hello XDA. I have a birthday coming up in a few days. I'm selling my stupid iPod Touch 4g 32gb on ebay (hopefully I'll get around $150, it's in a great condition with box, etc..), and I'm going to purchasing an ASUS eee Pad Transformer (TF101-A1) 16gb model. I was just wondering if this refurbished model here can be trusted:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834230172
I currently use newegg to purchase all of my computer parts and have never had a problem with them, and I don't think I would have a problem with this. I'm just making sure that there won't be a problem.
If anybody else knows any insane deals going right now on new asus eee pad transformers, please feel free to tell me because $300 is around my price point. If I could, I would obviously purchase the prime version, but I don't have $500 to spend..
Thank you for the help in advance.

I While I can not speak specifically for refurbished Transformers since I do not own one I generally do not have a problem purchased refurbished items and have done so many times in the past. True or not I rationalize that someone must have given them a good once over. For me something in that $ range I would look strongly at the warranty being offered by the manufacturer.

The warranty is 30 days.. so that might be a problem. I dont think ill have a problem with it though, cause if anythings wrong with it, it will probably have an issue within 30 days.

I would trust refurbished models ( make sure they are not just used but actually refurbished ) because those ones have gone back asus has looked over them and made sure they are all good before they are sold again.The BNIB ones go from the factory into a box and are shipped out

I bought one from newegg. The charger had some light scratches from who ever returned it, but it's been good to me. Tomorrow is the expiration of my 30 days return, funny enough.
Also, look again, you get a 90 day warranty from ASUS. And you can always pick up an extended from Newegg.

Do you purchase the extended warranty at the checkout?

No, I have before with a GPU, though.
I trust Newegg to the fullest to not use some crap warranty company. The main reason was that for the $50 the warranty cost, you can get a brand new one, assuming they ever come back in stock. They were out when I bought mine.

I bought my TF from Newegg, that same link. I haven't had or seen any issues with it. Newegg is reputable too.

What is newegg's return policy on an item like this? Restocking fee?

I'm not sure exactly, here's their standard return policy:

Standard Return Policy
Return for refund within: 30 days
Return for replacement within: 30 days
Restocking Fee: Yes

from: http://www.newegg.com/HelpInfo/ReturnPolicy.aspx

They have an exchange only policy for these. You get 30 days. Their service is excellent, though. No worries. Ah, and if you sign up for a free shoprunner trial you get free second day shipping and free returns. Sometimes if you call Newegg they'll send you a pre-paid return label, but not always. Oh, and there's almost always a $10 promo code for new customers.

Which retailer did you buy from

Curious as to where folks purchased their Infinity from;
Best Buy
Office Depot
Newegg
Amazon
Tiger Direct
Armed Forces catalogue
Canadian stores
Overseas retailers
On and on...
________________________________________________________________________

Best Buy - best return policy - full 30 days.
Office Depot doesn't allow refunds *at all* on electronics (if opened) - only exchanges for the exact same item, and only 15 days at that!

Microcenter - because they had them in stock and in store long before Best Buy.
14 day return, but they still allowed 2 returns during that period without any problems.

Amazon..
no tax, free shipping, easy returns.
Returned my first one... using my second right now.

Best Buy because they took my TF201 and exchanged it (well refunded so I could buy the TF700 w store credit)

Personally, with the TF700's QC track record, I'd try to buy from a brick-and-mortar store, just in case you have problems.. It's just so much faster to exchange the unit locally instead of via mailorder... There are just too many faulty units out there!

Best Buy also honors manufacturer warranty so it's easy to exchange for a new one if it's a factory issue like screen mura, and other issues.

So you mean that if I have a problem within the first year (the warranty period in the US), I can just take it to Best Buy and exchange it?? If so, I didn't even know that!

Try returning a TF201 for a TF700, FOUR months after purchase at Amazon!
Best Buy exchanged many Transformer Primes for the TF700 (or full store credit) even 7-8 months after the original purchase under the manufacturer warranty.
Not one reported successful exchange with Amazon outside the default return period.

thats the best i could find, $128.

I purchased the Infinity from Newegg because of no tax and they were offering $40 off on the tablet and the dock combo at the time. They also have a relatively hassle free return policy (at least in my experience) because I had to return the first one back due to multiple issues and I'm waiting on the 2nd one to arrive.

Same here, bought my prime in January and they just swapped me to a infinity last month...I was amazed.
On top of that SquareTrade swapped my warranty also.. Such a win win.

Bought two
Wanted to buy from Amazon but they had that "will ship in xx days" thing going when the tab first came out. Local Best Buy had the "ship to store in xx days".
So I decided to give NewEgg a try. Even paid for the expedited 'same day shipping' with overnight delivery (This was at noon PDT on Thursday). FAILURE. They took my money and didn't ship the same day and had to wait the weekend. They just plain refused and then ignored any request to do an expedited Saturday delivery...at MY COST! I know, a total sob story, right? Horrible customer service contact experience in just trying to find out where it was. They did refund my shipping charges but just wouldn't actually DO anything to expedite the process..Unbelievable!! I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. In years past, I had good luck with NewEgg. But I won't use them again and frankly don't expect them to remain in business with all the better competition out there.
Anyway...Finally got the tab..Liked it.... And my wife liked it too! So off to buy another one.
This time, I went with Tiger Direct. Night and day compared to RottenEgg. A flawless transaction and great service. I knew where it was in the process and shipping at all times. I had not used Tiger Direct before. I had only heard of them when CompUSA went under. They've now earned my business.

I've learned to never buy any hardware or software from Office Depot, terrible return policy for both. So I basically don't shop with them.

I've always had A+ service from Newegg and use them all the time.
You should read the details on expedited shipping, it never says they gurantee same day shipping
http://help.newegg.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/378/kw/rush
I' ve found if I get the order in by noon Eastern, they usually get it out the same day. A minute later, usually not.
They refunded your shipping although they did not break their own policy. That's pretty nice of them.

Canada Computers. Worst return policy ever. 14 days plus restock fee

Amazon new low price only $435

Looks like Amazon has dropped their price for both the black and white versions from $499.99 to $434.99.

you are lucky you live in the us and do not have to pay customs taxes.... I bought mine 2 days before the cyber Monday deal. because I live in Europe I was ****ed. I got a 99$ gift card but not the 360 cam.
so return it and let them bleed. not you!

After conversions and postage it came to about $600 Australian.
I just bought one on a whim, heaven help me. I could have bought something with a better reputation for that money, but I am just curious about this thing.

it's a great phone.
The initial performance and throttling issues are worked out.
When it first released I sent it back because a LG G6 would benchmark better.
Now running various benchmarks on Oreo B3 it benchmarks about as high as the theoretical limit for a SD835 device.
The camera is okay, but I own three APS-C cameras so I don't care if it's not the best on the market.

Amazon just pump it back to $499.00!

The Amazon offer is gone. It is back to $499.99

$449 now on Amazon.

I bought mine from Telus in Canada for $460, no contract. They are required by law to unlock phones upon request as well. $460 CAD is a lot less than $499US
