So Google pulled the Galaxy Nexus off the play store now that the Nexus 4 has been announced. It was not like the Galaxy Nexus was out of stock, so what are they going to do with the remaining that was in inventory?
Probably put them on sale through retailers.
I was thinking that they are going to put it back up sometime after the LG is up for sale to avoid for everyone ignoring the LG and going with the cheaper alternative
There has to be some system in place between the manufacturers and the carriers.
I would t be surprised that when the phones cost $0, that the manufacturers give the phones to the carriers for some type of deal.

Nothing really. The Nexus 4 is definitely a step up but not by that much. Look at how cheap it is to buy off contract. Says it all really. It can live happily with the G Nexus. It's basically the same but LG. £280 for the 16GB version in the UK is a ****ing steal.
Hopefully there is a decent sale for them at retailers. Wouldn't mind picking one up at the right price.

Exact reason why I am asking. Would retailers be selling them off contract though?
Depending on price I wouldn't mind picking up a Galaxy Nexus instead of the new N4...

Is $520 a good deal for a limited edition Nexus S??
Well that depends on how much ut is over an unlocked regular nexus s; also if the perks.if that limited version are worth it to you.

I assume by limited edition you mean the google employee one which has the androids on the back cover. I've seen them on ebay for sometimes up to $800 but in my opinion that is a rather silly price to pay for a special back cover that will barely be visible. However, $520 is actually a little cheaper than buying the phone off contract (note that all Nexus S phones come unlocked but are locked to Tmobile in that they do not support ATT 3G bands).
I lucked up and got my limited edition for 350 brand new never used on Craigslist and there is absolutely nothing special or different hardware wise or software but the back plate is nice but to answer you I would pay 520 for it tho if brand new

Are there any deals out there on a GS3? I'm getting a refurb Galaxy Nexus in the mail tomorrow (probably) and now I'm thinking about selling it as unused and picking one up.

Check Swappa. That's where I always go for any used phone purchases and sales.

You up for upgrade? Bestbuy has them for $99 on contract. Otherwise, I'd go with eBay....
Afraid not. Switched to Verizon from Sprint last March. Missing the yearly upgrade pretty hard.
Got a coupon in the mail from Verizon yesterday regarding the S3. Depending on your contract status they are giving them up on the cheap. Or, depending on how long you're willing to wait, the rumored announcement of the S4 (though take this with a grain of salt) may drive prices down.
Check Amazon. Saw on dribbler that they were selling it for $.01.

Hello everyone,
just a curiosity question: as most of us know that google sell some of its products at bestbuy (chromecast, nexus 7 tablets, chromebooks, etc)
I wonder does anyone know that Nexus 5 will be available at Best Buy too?
Thanks!
I work currently at Best Buy and have heard/seen nothing about it unfortunately, the mobile section works a little different than the rest of the store, they don't sell non contract phones so it would be unlikely that they would sell the Nexus 5 unless AT&T officially carries the phone as well.

Dangg I don't like it..
i just wish i knew if it will work on sprint.. cause i have an upgrade now.. waiting to see if it gonna come to sprint
unfortunately i don't think the N5 will be sold through best buy. it would be cool to buy it through best buy so you don't have to wait weeks for Google to keep their inventory levels up( looking right at the N4)
As previous poster said that BB does not carrier non contract phones is correct, BUT it may be carried online.
But at this point I personally or anyone in my department (mobile) has heard anything about it being carried.
There's actually a decent chance best buy will sell the nexus line up. They are currently setting up some best buys with a "Google experience" sections similar too the Samsung mini stores.

Kind of as my store has the displays already, but they are more like end cap displays like the small ipad one. But it could be possible.

Correction! Best Buy can sell you a phone without contract! On that note, Best Buy has sold the Nexus S(not just the Galaxy Nexus) in the past! If I had to guess, I would say Best Buy won't sell it. But it's possible, seeing as the Nexus 7 was!
I used to work for BestBuy/Geek Squad.
They stopped selling or at least offering off contract phones. They used to sell them. They don't make money/margin from them.
They want you on a contract/upgrade to get kickbacks from the carriers.
Off contract phones don't sell well enough in the US enough to warranty the limited space in their stores.
They have to have items that make margin to stay alive, so space is premium.
Now should they sell them online, mabey, but you won't see it in a retail store.
Yes you can buy sku outright, but it will not sell for the $349 price as google is subsidizing that directly through the play store.
Now this time around with the Google End cap, it is a possibility, but based on previous Nexus Releases and Googles decision to stick with the playstore. I doubt that would happen.

BB needs to either commit, or GTFO. I just bought a HP Chromebook, and BB was my first destination: 3-5 weeks and no store stock is what I was told. Went to Play store, available with 1-2 day shipping. Will be here tomorrow from Lexington Kentucky. I know BB has a huge warehouse on the left coast, where these Chromebooks originally entered the U.S., so I don't understand how BB screwed up the logistics, but they aren't serving their customers by vacillating on stock and supply.

my zipcode is 92692 and every store near me has it, not sure when you searched however I know HP didn't push out much inv until the 16th
As for Best Buy and the Nexus 5, My guess is unless google does a partnership with them they will not be getting the unlocked version, however might get a contract version with the top 3 carriers. I think we are all just waiting to see what Google does next.
But with a lot of new things happening between them

That display has nexus 7 and Chrome cast on it in my store.
Best Buy Mobile WILL sell you a phone without a contract as long as it doesn't seem to be fraud. If you tell them you're putting it on your plan, and let them log into your account(whatever provider it may be), they will allow you to buy it. They actually do make margin selling the phone off contract, but they don't accumulate revenue on the backend since there is no activation through a carrier.

Never said they would.. In fact, on the first page I opinionated that they wouldn't be. I was referring to someone stating that Best Buy won't sell a phone unless it's activated with a 2 year contract.

Yeah, BB will sell you a phone off contract but they jack the price up higher then you can buy it anywhere else. Don't know why anyone wouldbuy a phone off contract there.
I am looking to buy the Nexus 5. Not now but in march of 2014, do you think this will still be considered a higher-end device then? I am stuck in a Verizon contract until then and plan on switching to t-mobile. Any answers will be very appreciated.
No one can answer this. We'll just have to wait till March of 2014. By then the HTC one 2 and s5 will come out so who knows.

Buy it if you want the phone, it's relatively cheap. If you're planning on setting up a T-Mobile postpaid account, then since you are bringing your own device you will be considered "upgrade eligible" and able to purchase another device on their contract/nocontract/subsidized pricing plans if something strikes your fancy in the meantime. If nothing else comes out that you like, then enjoy the Nexus 5 until the Nexus 6 comes out and then put it up on the resale market. No, you won't get all of your money back, but you'll get some of it back.
Personally, I'm exceedingly happy to be back on a Nexus device due to the fast updates, and community support that generally gravitates around these types of devices. I am love with my Nexus 5. I've gotten set up on the $30/mo T-Mobile prepaid plan, and so far, I've been very satisfied.
FYI, could be worth the early termination fee in cost savings. Friend of mine just paid an ETF and will still realize savings in 3 months. That is coming from Verizon.
Worth looking into!

Thanks for all the replies, i guess i will just wait until march considering i just bought a galaxy nexus.
First off I'm not trying to advertise but I'm going to sell my two black 16gb devices.
So out of curiosity what would you ask for or
What would you pay for one? Something fair obviously under googles price tag.
Assuming they are mint condition lol
Just check your local classifieds and see what they are selling for. And decide from there. Low to sell fast, high if you're in no rush.
That's definitely the best way to sell anything.

I have mine listed as $200 mint with sg ballistic case.
There's no local listings for nexus 5 phones and any
People that have messages me have acted like I'm asking too much?
I think that's fair considering google lists the phone new at $350
Do you guys think I'm asking a fair price based on your locale?

More than fair. It's actually too low if in mint condition. I don't think anyone's selling them that cheap.
I can only imagine they see a low price and are trying to drive you down even further.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Search eBay for completed listings so you can see what they're selling for. Also search for what the used case is selling for too. But being that it's yours, ultimately it is your decision as to what you want for it. I think $200 in mint condition + case is more than a fair asking price.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I would list it for $270
Remember that the website will charge you around
$15 between ebay and PP for total listing + post sale charges.
The fact that Google subsidies its cost, doesn't mean that we have to do the same thing again
They wont get a similar phone for that low.
I would see what they are going for on Swappa.Com (list it, it is free and their fee of $10 is added to what you ask), ask for more than that on Craigslist, and Ebay will get you more, but have higher fees.

This. Swappa is a great resource to see what phones are selling for.
I use Swappa for almost all of my tech buys and sells. It is free to list and $10 for a sell (paid for by the buyer, so if you list for $200, the buyer sees the price as $210). So you just pay shipping (and technically $10 since you lost out on buyer's $10 to Swappa). eBay takes like 10% + shipping. I always forget this until I get my eBay invoice and realize I took huge losses when I thought I broke even. I sell a $300 tablet, I end up with like $245 after eBay fees, shipping, and PayPal fees. Craigslist is good if you're in a city, but it is terrible for rural areas. Sometimes I find good deals on there, but when I'm selling, no one wants to pay me asking price.
Thanks fellas. The phones are mint.
And you were spot on when you said people kept asking for a cheaper price.
But to be honest I just sold them for what I owed to t-mobile, as I just wanted out of their
Financing because I has a bad experience on their network lol.
But they just finally sold about an hour ago. He called himself a "phone geek" so I'm sure he knew what a deal it was!!

Phones were sold about 14 hours ago.
While this didn't "specifically" break any rules with regards to selling on the site, it was very, very close. Even so much as listing the price at an almost invitation for PMs about it type of nature.
Regardless, the phones are sold, Thread Closed.
