I got my G Tab for the 255.00 on woot, and since having it others I work with want one and was wondering if you know where to get a great deal for the G Tab instead of paying the 399.99 at Sears.
Also the Clip case question. Where can I get one?
Happy Hump Day!
Many places are mentioned in the threads
Office Depot has it for $299 on the website. It's the cheapest I've found from a reputable retailer.

The Sears Outlet also has a bunch of "refurbs" which a lot of times is one that a customer returned without any defects. Several folks here have bought them before the Woot deal and have reported no problems with buying a "refurb" from the Sears Outlet. Although the site says it's store pickup only several folks have reported that if you first buy it online and then call the store after you've bought it the store will ship it to you for free.

Note: click the "Find all available products" link after the above page comes up to see all the stock.
The clip case you can get at www.electroniccrap.com. He sold out of black so only white ones are available today.
When was it on woot for $255? I only saw $279 both as a daily and the woot-off. I bought mine for $279 on the woot-off.
As low as $316 shipped from Amazon Marketplace.
Oppps, Yes it was 279.00. Was in an alternate reality when I was typing and don't know why I typed 255.00.
Anyone know if BB is doing a buyback program for the original EVO? Couldn't find anything about it on their website.
I would like to know as well.
I went in there 2 days ago and they basically offered me $130 for mine. No scratches, dings or anything. And im going to guess the price will probably be lower next week.
If you got it at best buy and you are trading in at the same store then they will take it....at least that is what they said at the time I pre-ordered. Other wise I think you need to use their website to do the trade in. They have a calculator on there to tell you how much they will offer.

Of course you can go into most best buys and get 4 different stories depending on who you talk too there....so your best bet is to just call them and ask.
Quote from their site:
"Products purchased at Best Buy
Video games, iPods, Zunes, laptops, flat-panel televisions and mobile phones can be taken to any Best Buy Store where, if you don't have your receipt, we will do our best to retrieve it for you and complete the trade-in, or you can use our online program."
Hello,
Best Buy does offer a Trade In, but it is 130 Dollars Store Credit (just started about 2 Months ago) or they can send a Check that is well under 100 Dollars. Now that the Sprint Stores no longer are doing the Mail In Rebates and offering 150 Dollars Trade In, I really do not see an advantage anymore in buying from Best Buy. Especially if you are planning on Trading In an EVO 4G
Cheers,
JJ

Unless youre buying off contract.. in which case Sprint stores are useless since theyll only sell them to people with upgrades and new lines.
I'm on a flight to the states, just about to take off. Had intended to get TP in USA, but having read this forum, it seems the ones in the UK have less issues. Is this correct? I have a stop over in London and could try to pick one up in duty free...
Is there even a difference? The biggest advantage would be that a UK model would come with a 3 pin plug.

I don't know....seems like I remember reading about a UK guy that had 8 returns....But I think that the best thing would be to get it in the country that you live....that way you're sure there are no "unforseen" problems, like DRM liscensing, etc.

Hell, I'd get it in the states, dollar < Euro/£
Keep in mind though, the wifi channels for the wireless adapter stop at 11 in the states. Also, I'd tun it on in the store where you get it, make sure everything is OK with it in case you have to return, you can do it on the spot.

7 returns, me. I would recommend buying one in YOUR country, and from the shop with good refund policy. You could in theory buy one in duty free and check it there and then, the but if it's Dixon Travel, and I believe they are the only ones selling this sort of tech, you can only return it to normal store not duty free, at least that's what I've been told by one of their staff. Good luck.

You will pay about 40% more in England. All consumer electronics are a lot higher.
IMO a subjective non validated improvement is not worth the premium. Not to mention if you have issues with the device and need to have fixed or returned.
in England, it comes bundled with the keyboard dock. You cantt buy the tab on itss own.
None available in the airport, just ipads, acer and a Samsung 10.1" but they had no model information... I'll get it in the States.

Whilst this is often true, to be fair to Asus the price they are charging the UK for the Prime+Dock bundle is pretty much the same as the total cost for the two in the US if you factor out the 20% VAT we pay in the UK and convert to USD at 1.5$ to the £.

I took a walk around Chicago last night and didn't find a shop that sells tablets. What shops stock the TP? There is a Best Buy a couple of miles away, should I try there? It's times like this when Google Maps is your friend...
Best Buy or Staples might be your best bet for finding one in a big box store. Also, Best Buy has their satellite stores (Best Buy Mobile) in malls and what not that you may want to try. I was just in one yesterday and they at least had a floor model on display (not sure if they actually had any in stock though)
Was just in best buy. They had a display model but no stock - they only recieved 2. I met a nice gentleman who informed me that they are sold out across Chicago and there are none to be had. He did mention a store called AJ G.... But I can't remember the name of them.
Probably HHGregg is what you are looking for. I checked their stock for Chicago area and it shows none available but here is the link.

That's interesting, I know my local Best Buy only received 2 as well. I actually bought one and then returned it when my Champagne pre-order came in.
Order from US Amazon.com, and have them next day or 2 day it to your hotel.... if they will ship to hotels??? Guess just put the hotel address, and in care of yourself. If something is wrong with it and needs to be returned before you leave, they pay for return shipping.

Tried to order one via Amazon, but they have none, except for non Amazon traders who are looking for a fortune...
Gonna look into ordering it via Amazon UK and getting it delivered to a friend in London (i'll be passing through next weekend) only trouble is the UK ones are all with keyboard, so still very expensive.
Anyone want to suggest other options? Bear in mind I'm living in the middle east, and Amazon won't deliver there...
Also, what's the best colour? I used a purple one today, which was on display, I presume that is the one called grey ?
£499 on Amazon UK, seems expensive

If you are a non-EU resident, you can claim the VAT back when you leave the country, which will save you about £80 bringing the cost down to the US level.

Edit: Just called a store with in stock and verified it is still regular price. In another forum they mentioned Staples selling floor models, maybe you could get a deal on the floor model.
Just checked the Staples website and for stores around my area it is showing "low stock clearance item". Called my local store and they said they are transitioning the Prime to an online only item. He said they are out of stock and will not be carrying the Prime in store but could order it. He also could not tell how much they were on clearance.
Just a heads up if someone is looking for a deal on the Prime. Still love mine and would recommend it to anybody else.
Says low stock clearance item online for local store searches for me, but I called one and they actually do not have any in stock and indicated it was "not on clearance".
Maybe a website typo? If not I want to hop on that if the clearance is good haha
When I called my store and asked if it was on clearance, he said that yes they are putting in stock Primes on clearance. They can still order it for you but it will not be a regular stocked item. I then asked him how much it was and he said he could not look that up as they are out of stock. Would be nice if we could find a store with it in stock and find out what the clearance price is.
I heard the same thing from the two Staples stores in town here. It is only going to be an "online" item.
As for clearance prices, it is the same as regular price.
Thread title misleading. Should be changed accordingly. Not a real clearance priced item at Staples.
Title changed. I apologize, just called a store with in stock and they said it is on clearance but still regular price. Maybe you can score a floor model at a discount.
I've been looking for a Nexus 7, but I can't find them in any store. Best Buy doesn't sell them, Walmart doesn't sell them, Sears doesn't sell them, etc. Is Google deliberately holding back stock to direct people to the Google Play Store?
It wouldn't surprise me if huge corporations like Apple, Samsung and Amazon pay $$$ to retailers for not marketing certain devices in stores...
It's hard to say if it's because they want to keep hype or generally don't have them... I find it hard to believe that they honestly don't have them!

I'm pretty sure some stores are paid to only stock Apple/Nook/Fire Tablets. I know for sure that Walmart SHOULD have some in stock. The one where I live does. Also I'm pretty sure Best Buy and Sears don't stock them where I live. Must have some kinda deal with the other brands.
