Hey everyone,
I recently was browsing ebay for a nexus s and noticed they are SO Expensive. Like 700 dolars expensive. So I was wondering.... (sorry if this sounds dumb lol) do you think its worthwhile or even possible to buy new from best buy and make a small profit on ebay?
Also one more question. When I'm on my epic 4g and I make. Call, even if the phone is password locked I noticed that from the call/dialpad screen I can easily get into my phone wiothout typing in the pin code by pressing home. Yikes... problem on nexus?

It's possible.
But you're going to have to spend $529 plus tax ($52 here in CA) to get the phone, and pay eBay to make the listing (a few dollars), and pay eBay a commision on the sale (not sure what they charge any more), then pay PayPal or whoever a commission on the transaction to collect the payment.
Your target audience is most likely only going to be people outside of the US or other countries who can't just walk in to a local store and get one, so you're going to have to deal with internationally shipping the package. I recall many of the listings I saw for these phone in the past had the $700 include the shipping, so another dip into your profits, but you can charge for shipping separately.
There's profit there to be made, but how large is the market? Those listings you're seeing, do they actually get sold, or do they expire without interest.
True, true. thanks for the reply man

there is almost no profit to be made
yes ebay increased their price for sales, and paypal is expensive as ever
you lose aprox $21 on paypal
and then you lose:
$0.25 + $4 + $32.5 = $36.75
total loss = $ 57.75 roughly $60
this is based on the $700 price
and there are some more hidden fees and charges that i forgot about
you basically come back with like ... $600 if lucky minus the original value of the phone $529.99+tax

I just noticed the HP Touchpad Touchstone back at HP.com for $55, but there's also a $10 off coupon code, that brings it to $50.01 after tax (for me at least).
Here's the link to the product page: http://www.shopping.hp.com/store/product/product_detail/FB339AA%23ABA?
Here's the coupon code: SVP471394
I just wanted to share it with everyone since I've been looking for a good Touchstone deal for days now and I finally found one! I hope it helped
I was able to get one from ebay for $38 shipped.
wow, I checked eBay for a while and almost every one was over $50 before the auction was even over...
I got mine for 40 at walmart
staples has them for 40 bucks, and all other accessories are 50% off at bestbuy/futureshop! I got em all!
I got an email from HP that had a 25% off coupon over the whole out of stock debacle, used that for a case and a touchstone. It expired after 2 days however, so it's no longer valid. I'm just happy they got both those items back in stock before it expired.

None of the Staples or BestBuys near me have anything... OfficeDepot had amazing prices on everything but they sold out insanely fast.
Also, I didn't even think of that 25% off coupon....haha that would be awesome if I could have used that...
HP in the UK will take orders for them, quoting ~10 days till stock arrives. £34.50, works out about $56 with free delivery.
The HP Canada online store has them for $39.99 with free shipping in Canada. Posted coupon code will not work in Canadain store (hey, it was worth a try). I've checked with every store within 150Km of my home and none are available.
I went to Wal-Mart and found 2 on the shelf along with the wireless keyboard. I got asked the manager I called Office Depot and had them do a price check, would they match the price. He said sure. So I got all the stuff for 50% off. Pretty nice!!! I'm using the keyboard and the charging station right now.
got a touchstone and 2 genuine cases for £52 at a small carphone warehouse a couple of days ago, then yesterday I got the wireless keyboard for £20 and the international charger for £10 from pc world. The stuff is still out there hanging on racks if you look around
HP cases available again at HP web store 9 Sep 11
Just bought 2 for $30 each with free shipping plus a $10 off coupon for orders over $50. HPSAVE10
Hopefully some of you can get in on this!

Try the HP company store and use the coupon in the header. Brings the Touchstone down to $45.00 and the case to $24.00 plus tax with free shipping. Good luck.

i saw probably 4 of them at walmart yesterday for $50... i'm not interested so i didn't buy it... would like to get a case though
I think they're out of stock again. While the product page doesn't say so, after you finish ordering, HP sends you an email telling you that they cannot process your order. I tried twice and it didn't work both times.
About the coupon, the HP cart accepts it and even reflects the discount, but as soon as it goes to paypal, the amount changes over to the original cost of the products.
Beware!
The cases are back in stock, I just got 2 of them at $19.99 a piece!
I don't think I can post links yet but Google search: HP Touchpad Case and you will see it in HP Direct store. =)
Tell me please where you can buy at a good price? With payment by PAYPAL and delivery RUS.
Sorry if you created a topic in the wrong section, send it to the desired section, thanks!
check ebay
I like ebay, good price of about $ 600 & delivery + 20 $ givey (r-sim), but may have other suggestions where sellers do not pay the fee for the lot and other taxes, to buy directly?
Went into BestBuy to get 2 Otterbox Defender cases. They had black priced at $49.99 and purple $49.99 when online said they were on sale. Went to ring up and they said they were on a bundle sale. One was going to be full price and then the other was going to be 1/2 price. $49.99 (1) $24.99 for 2nd total $74.98 before tax.
I said I wasn't going to pay the price I could get them cheaper online. The only reason I was buying them at BB was because I had a gift card. The sales staff scanned the barcode and said he could sell one to me for $24.99, he didn't say it was on sale or not but when they looked it up at the register it still said $29.99.
I told them to look it up on their website and it showed the in store price $29.99 not the $49.99 and $34.99 not the $49.99 price they had in store. Then it showed the black being on sale for $19.99 and the other for $24.99.
Store price: Both cases $49.99 (Big Difference from $29.99 and $34.99)
Online price showed $29.99 on sale $19.99 and $34.99 on sale $24.99 WHICH BestBuy Did price match their own price.
It seems crazy that a tech company can’t even get All their pricing on the same page. The floor sales person scans the item and say’s one price, the register scans the item and comes up with a 2nd price, they then look up the price on their website and find a different price to manually enter the sales price and credit my card.
They did match their own price although over the course of this I realized their price match guarantee excludes 11/28 - 12/2 very interesting.
Your english is interesting. Just kidding.

No doubt I was doing this from my phone so it is very confusing. I'm going to revise it late from a desktop. My main issue is to always research because once I put it all together it appears that the price was increased in stores to look like a sale.
Currently, you can save 30$ on the Moto X Pure on Amazon. You will see the discount at the checkout.

The 32GB version is also $50 off. At least it was on Monday when I grabbed one.
I got it on monday for $30.... then called Amazon after they changed it to $50 and they credited me the difference.
