Price war on Nexus 7 starting - General Topics

I did a quick search and didn't see a thread on this in this forum, if I'm wrong, or in the wrong place, close it or whatever suits the moderators
Prices are dropping daily on Nexus 7 2013. There is quite the price war going on right now. It started about Tuesday.
32 GB is 239 at BB, Walmart and Amazon. Amazon and Walmart dropped those prices in the past 24hour in response to BB's price
The 16 GB dropped today to $189 from $199 at Walmart. That's a nice price for a 2013 N7 especially with those new meenova devices being available now.
Again apologies if a pricing thread for 2013 has already been started.

Gtab on sale on thanksgiving Day at Sears

Just FYI for anyone looking to get a GTablet it is going on sale again on Thanksgiving Day at Sears for $379.
Not as good as getting it from Sears Outlet for $200-$250 but it's still better then the normal price of $399. If it's worth standing outside on line all morning to save 20 bucks though, well that's up to you .

EDIT: Should mention though that for any of us that did pay 399 within 14 days of Thanksgiving Day, we can go in to get a price match.

Oh really? Will we get the free case too? Does anyone know if sears usually have a long line during Thanksgiving?
Viewsonic G Tablet for $360.99
Also the Sears Thanksgiving ad states that you get an extra 5% off with a Sears card. My math makes that $19 bringing the price down to $360.99.
There is stock in Office Depot and Staples that is for sale now. Office Depot has a working demo.
Even better deal!
Got mine at Sears for $340 if I bought a $50 2-year no questions asked replacement plan. It even includes wear & tear...
They way we are flashing these days is not a bad option... Scratch it, crack it, drop it, it is fixed or replaced for free....
Cant' wait for more ROMs to make to the forum. It is an absolute fantastic device with the exception of the crappy wrapper Viewsonic put on 2.2. Knowing the XDA developers now (from owning a Samsung Galaxy S) it would be just a few weeks and we will have plenty of choices....

WTB - Used g-tablet (AUS)

hi guys
i'm looking to buy a used g-tablet, i'm in australia so it's much harder for me to buy from an online retailer. i have a headfi/ebay/ocau account where i've sold/bought plenty of stuff in case anybody needs some reassurance.
let me know what you have and how much you'd like for it
thanks
Id suggest Amazon mate, got mine from them, shipped to Sydney in less than 14 days. and since the price seems to be dropping, eg down to around $360 US dollars, and with our dollar atm, its the time to do it.
http://www.amazon.com/Viewsonic-G-Tablet-Multi-Touch-Screen-Android/dp/B004EPV7TK/ref=pd_sim_e_1
Got mine from Amazon too, $444.14 in the end, expedited delivery, 6 days from ordering, turned up in Canberra.
Took me a few days of checking to be able to order one though, only when it's actually from amazon would it be able to be shipped to Aus, other company's that sell through amazon seem to not ship out of the USA.
+1 for amazon, a few posts below this one http://www.amazon.com/Viewsonic-G-Tablet-Multi-Touch-Screen-Android/dp/B004EPV7TK/ref=pd_sim_e_1 for $359 atm is better than what I got it for 3 weeks ago ($379)
thanks for the responses guys, i considered amazon but most of their merchants don't ship abroad and through amazon themselves it comes to about $420 inc standard shipping. i'm hoping to see if i can pick it up cheaper
Don't forget that there are quite a few really nice tablets coming out like the Elocity A10 and the Asus transformer. Those two are in my options the best options coming out soon. I am going to pick up a transformer when it comes out next month. It comes with honeycomb, 1 gig ram and an IPS screen. The G tablet is great but it will be probably a month or longer before honeycomb is stable enough to use daily. And Intel will be releasing the SandyBridge mobile processors later this year and those are going to kick some ass. Also checkout WI-DI. I can't wait. I would recommend a G tablet if you can get a good deal on one like $250. But for $400 go with the A10 or transformer. Just my 2 cents.

OFFICIAL from Best Buy, Selling TouchPad at $99 Tomorrow!!!

Will be available online and in-stores! Get your tents people!!!

They sold out in my area within 20 minutes of "reshelving" them. All three stores in the city.
Some Best Buys began selling them already (around 8pm Saturday night where I live). I got one of the last ones at my local Best Buy before they sold out. I would advise getting there really early if you want to pick one up...
Thankfully I talked to someone I know at a local BB and they said they had a "good amount" and they weren't selling any tonight (even to employees).
Even better is the fact that its only 1 per customer.... no stupid horders ordering 8 or 10 just to resell for a fraction of a profit.

Where is your BB?
1 per customer isn't going to stop those who want more (to sell) unfortunately. They'll bring their entire family and friends..
no need for tents sold out. When I read about the price drop lastnight on engadget (around 8pm). I rushed to two bestbuy stores near my place. The first one i went to removed them from shelves for return to HP. The second bestbuy had over 30 of them on the shelf. Bought 3 (would have bought more if I had money), thinking theyll do a refund on price difference if they will sell it 99/149 tomorrow. Around 11pm the new BB touchpad policy popped out in the internet. I was angry and frustrated. I've searched online, all sold out. In the morning I callled all retailers near my place. Sold out. Angry at myself for going bestbuy. Around 7pm, I read online that bestbuy will reduce price and new FAQ from BB states that they will refund difference for any touchpad bought after june 19. Happy and excited. Called a few bestbuy, each with different things to say: we won't refund difference, will be on sale tomorrow but were sold out now (huh?), call hp for a refund on difference (hp don't have my money....hello). This was going nowhere, hopeless. Finally, I called a BB that's 19miles away. Lady I spoke told me they are sold out and that they were sold for 99/149. I asked her if they will do price difference for the touchpads I bought lastnight. With verification from her superiors, she told me that they will honor it. Drove there right away. Got my money back. Hehe. Now I'm a happy camper.

$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.

Axon Mini 7 $199

Zte website has axon 7 mini on sale for $199 3/5-3/11. I just bought one in hopes the bootloader is unlocked and can one day have twrp and root.
amazon.com also
As of 4/16 Best buy has it on sale for 199.99, I'm switching from my Moto x pure crap to the ZTE axon 7 mini. Can't afford the one I want. Just the axon 7
I picked mine up at BB also, $199. I sold my iPhone 7 to pay some bills and got this after a little bit of research. So far it's an excellent mid range phone. My only gripe so far is battery life.
On Gearbest paid 101€!!
I paid £90 from Gearbest - Just have to wait 3- 4 weeks for it to arrive like many others who took advantage of the deal.
Hopefully when everyone gets their hands on their mini this sub forum will become a bit more busy.
I really can't wait for it to arrive !
