You can get the 16Gb Wifi version for ~ £240 pretty much anywhere that stock the tablet but for the 32Gb 4G version everyone seems to be asking ~ £300
There were deals for the 32Gb version on Black Friday/Cyber Monday but rather than being price reductions they featured a bundle of the Tablet and Controller (+ the Green Box that is currently bundles with the 32Gb tablet anyway) for £300.

I guess there are many. Go and check out on amazon...

amazon selling g tablet

Price 416.00 but it will get more inters than just selling at Sears and officedepot.
http://www.amazon.com/Viewsonic-G-T...n-Android/dp/B004EPV7TK/ref=pd_ecc_rvi_cart_1
Hmmm.. It says You save $83.30. Is the retail price for the Gtab $499?
If so, seems like we've been getting a good deal !
Jim
On Saturday they had it for 399, I know because I bought it for that price. Combined with Prime and two $50 Visa giftcards, I was able to buy it with a 16gb SD card for $328 and get it on Wednesday. No docking station like the Sears deal but still incredibly satisfied. Many thanks to the devs on this forum and all the testers etc. making this tablet the great gadget it is today.

hmmm... I was ALWAYS of the opinion that for what it was, even $379 was high and that $299.99 would've been a more reasonable price especially given that the Sears here had the display between two cheaper and more capable netbooks... just because it's a "tablet" doesn't make it magically worth more...

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.

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.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
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 ..

American adaptor suitable for Australia?

Hi All,
I'm considering purchasing the tf700 from America and importing to Australia (as they are going to flog it off here for $999AUD!
The only thing I need to confirm before purchasing is if the adaptor will be suitable for Australia (don't want a surge).
Does the info on the (American) power pack indicate it handles 110-240v ?
Thanks for any help you can give,
Mike

Input 100-240 V, ~ 50/60 Hz 0.5 A
Thanks Mate.
Yes, hopefully doing the same. Probably gonna need a an adapter as well. How you gonna get yours over here?
I'm pretty sure I read that all Aussie tabs will come with the Key Board dock also, still priced high but thats something to consider plus 32/64 at that price?
Ordered mine through ebay last night. It is winging it's way here via DHL as we speak. Paid 838 AUD (including express shipping) for 64GB with dock (a. grey colour). Expect it to arrive here on Monday next. When you add the $10 for an adaptor that still comes in $140 cheaper and at least a week earlier than the Oz release.
Would I be able to get a 32GB no dock from the same supplier?

check out ebay mate. Theres a few offering 32GB no dock for well under 500. Express shipping (cause who wants to wait weeks once you have committed the money) costs about 60. the ususal precautions re: checking out sellers reputation apply, obviously.

I bought mine from Best Buy at that price. You may find an slightly lower price on eBay buy don't hold your breath.
TigerDirect.com
you can get the 32GB one on tigerdirect.com for the same $399 price. They also have lower prices if you want to get a refurbished one.
First post here, yesterday I bought a TF300T-B1-BL (32mg) for $349.99 at Sears.com and i'll be picking it up this afternoon. Also, MicroCenter.com has the white ones for the same price.

+1, on Best Buy we have 3 TF300t tablets 2 blue 32 GB and one red 16 GB all purchased from Best Buy.
That said one 32 GB had to be exchanged immediately for a broken power switch, and the first 16 GB was returned for
a significant touch panel problem that was causing major but intermittent input problems and went back after about 3 days.
The tablets that survived the infant mortality period have been rock solid. Having Best Buy to deal with on an exchange is worth
the couple dollars difference in price and paying local sales tax. I don't think this is the typical falure rate for TF300t's but if you have a reasonably close BB that would get my vote.
Bestbuy Canada has both the blue and white models on for $349.98 right now. Kit version which includes the dock are still at $519.99 for both white and blue.

Sorry No Keyboard for that Price of $249.99
I can confirm this works, also. I was able to order the 16gb Memory - Blue - TF300T-A1-BL today at Best Buy for $249.99. All you have to do is go to the counter and give the associate the item number - 5089952. Tell them you want it shipped to the store for pickup. It's like getting a 10.1 inch NEXUS 7 (with SD card slot) for $50.00 more!
