Paid too much? - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I was reading this article on this website and most comments say that's its too much for this tablet! I just got mine 2 days ago and paid $330 on Craigslist with accessories. Did I pay top much for a tablet that's supposedly 1 year old? Its a wifi 16GB btw.

I live in Canada and you payed nearly double what I payed But mine was also purchased from a friend. $330 is still a fairly good deal considering new it's $499+tax around here still.

I don't think its too much if its in a good condition. I paid over $550 for mine with tax when it first came out. I think $330 if fair price for samsung galaxy 10.1, if its in good condition.

And if it was $330 Canadian dollars, that justifies it even more.

Its in mint condition. Not a single hair scratch or anything I was debating for a whole week between this and the original Xoom. I saw the ad and didn't hesitate to make an offer and met the guy within 15 minutes. I was hoping for a xoom but none were up for sale at the time. The thing that threw me away from the xoom was the WEIGHT 1.6lbs is heavy for a tablet in my opinion.

I like my Galaxy tab way better then xoom. My friend has zoom and I think its bulky and ugly. I bought this tab over xoom cuz Its slim and sexy. Its even slimmer then my iPad 2. I haven't been using my iPad at all, since I bought this tablet. I think $330 for a mint condition tab is a good price.

Its a really gd deal bearing in mind here in the UK a tab is $499 or around £399 end of. You cant get it cheaper really anywhere else except ebay :L

I paid just over 1100$ for 2 gtabs December 30th with extended warrenty and after taxes

Dang I would've made it rain first then paid! LoL ever since Craigslist I rarely buy new electronics. Like my Samsung Epic Touch for $300 back in November ( brand new) .

$330 is a really good price. I got my 16GB Verizon LTE model here at XDA for $315.

Got my Rogers 3G (faux-G) GTab on Kijijiii for 375$ in early december.. =)

That's a good price IMHO.
My first one (bought when it came out...32GB WiFi) I paid roughly $600 or so....after taxes.
My second one 16GB WiFi I paid $400 and some change...still a bit pricey but brand new.
My other 16GB WiFi I currently own I paid $330 on Amazon as it was refurbished.
So yes...I'd say you got a good deal.
I'm not holding high hopes for the Asus MeMo 7" but I do hope it does one thing...drive the quality tabs down in price. They're too expensive at the moment, but it's the price to pay to be bleeding edge in technology.

Well you just need to look at how much everyone is paying for them in the store.. Then tell us if you got a good deal lol. You could have spent almost $550 for one in the store, or $330 for the one you bought.. Seems pretty obvious to me

$199 Buy.com HTC Flyer 7" Tablet, 16GB Storage, Android 2.3 - Refurb (Dead)

Hey guys, I saw this posted over on SlickDeals and didn't see it posted on XDA. Figured I'd post it here in case anyone is interested.
Buy.com has the 16GB Flyer for $199.99 with free shipping. It is a refurbished unit, so hopefully everything works properly. I'm not sure about international shipping charges, I imagine it is only free to the US (could be wrong though).
I jumped on the View 4G sale a month ago for $230~ so this seems like a pretty good deal. Maybe we'll see a surge in the forums with these recent firesales.
I'm really considering getting one. Not really sure how long the sale is for. I might return my galaxy tab 7 plus and pick this baby up. I am just worried we won't get ICS for it.
Sent from my GT-P6210 using Tapatalk
I got one
I bought one of these yesterday at 6pm, paid for 2 day shipping and it arrived today at 2pm - 20 hours!!!
It looks great, like I just took it out of the original wrapper. I tried it for a few minutes, then upgraded (I guess that's debatable) to honeycomb. It's leedroid version, so I suppose it should be pretty good.
Now this is the first thread I read in the general section... what ever happened to the days when I would read for days on how to root a new system
I ordered one also. Should be here today with the "cheap" shipping option. Glad to hear the refurbished ones look like new.
So I've been thinking of buying one, do you guys think it's worth it or wait for the Asus 7" tab to come out?
Sent from my GT-P7510
Never know when the Asus tab will come out.
If you want something now, grab this. I played with the wimax version of the flyer in the sprint store, it's really nice.
I'm not banking on the flyer/view getting ICS at all though. I'm just going to use it for what it is.
Will the Asus Tab have an active digitizer? I have read conflicting versions about this.

Purchased $199 Flyer Arrived Today - NO PEN
Did you all get the pen that comes with the tablet from buy.com? Mine did not and I wanted to check to see if it was not included or just missing?! Thanks
I also picked one up for 189. I really hope to get some use out of this at work. I want to replace a ton of paper I generate travelling around from mtg to mtg. I really don't understand why there aren't more pen based tablets out there. If this doesn't work, for 189, I'll just give it to one of my kids to draw on /watch videos.
Based on slick deals advice I got a pen at b&h for $30 shipped. Its a one button model (I have ho idea what that means yet) arrived in a day. Item number FUFPCPN36AP

I almost freaked out when it shot up to $229 on the 16th but then I checked about 3 hours later and it was back to $199. Ordered it immediately after, just in case. Wondered if there was a glitch on their site.

64GB MicroSDXC for $79.99

Saw this on slickdeals. that's a pretty good price for a 64gb! anyone wanting one should jump on this deal as the next lowest I could find was over $100
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/SanDisk...Card/4120116.p?id=1218457270220&skuId=4120116
That's easily the best price you'll find for this card. I think I bought mine for about $110 several months ago. Aside from that, it was on sale for $100 at Best Buy last December-ish. This price is a no-brainer if you need the extra space.

Looks like it is sold out online and cannot be purchased instore.
That is a very good price. Thanks for sharing.
thats efing awesome
I had come here to post that when it first showed up - but you beat me to it. I hope someone from this forum jumped on it.
I've been happily using mine for months - I paid $100. It's been absolutely great.
Good looks, I'm copping one for my tablet asap.

Well that good the prices are dropping.... I think I'll hold off till they come down to about $20-$30

Price for used 16gb touchpad

What should I pay for one on craigslist in like new condition?

Personally, I wouldn't pay more than $150, max.
I'm not sure what the average going prices are, however.
Bought a Min condition for 130 in CL
Sent from my AT&T Galaxy Note - please forgive if typos
$170 is a fair price.
I got mine for 170 from someone i know, a bit of pothead though. ( probably looking for a quick buck for some weed). Anyway, he also gave it to me in mint condition with the touchstone dock. There was a problem with the adapter and the retards at hp thought it was the touchpad. They sent me a refurbished one free of charge in replace of the old one. If you dont trust the seller, id do that but ymmv
just purchased a 32gb for $175. Could probably get a second one too. Both on CL.

i just bought a 32gb touchpad including hp bluetooth keyboard, touchstone charger/stand and a case for $190 from craigslist
doesn't seem to go for much, looking at around $100 for the 16gb and $200 for the 32gb where I am
It really depends how many are for sale in your area. Only one in the buffalo region, so I bought mine last week from Newegg.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA
if you're in the austin area, i just checked out of curiosity, but i see a few in the $150-160 range for the 16gb model, you could talk them down to close to $100 since it's craigslist lol
like the others said, 160-170 is a fair price..
oh, and gig 'em man, nice to find an Ag on these forums lol.

What's a decent price for a 32GB Prime and dock?

I get my Prime back on Wednesday from RMA and will not want to keep it if I cannot re-unlock. I see the tablet and dock listed on CL for just under $500. Are they actually selling at this price? Seems a little high to me but would be great if I could get this. I would be interested from hearing from anyone who has recently bought or sold one on Craig's List. Thanks!

I just bought a prime yesterday from cowboom for 299. Shipped. So $500 is a bit steep. and looking at a docking station on ebay for 75. So out the door 375 shipped. If you are interested in getting rid of the prime let me know I may be looking to get a second one

Appreciate your reply. Yep, I saw that site - that's what made me surprised about the CL price and I was wondering if you could actually sell a Prime for a little under $500. I get the Prime back tomorrow. I will hit you up by PM if I cannot unlock, although I am hoping against hope that the Unlock app actually works for me...

I can say for sure they are moving nicely for $400-$450 on CL. In fact, I've had mine posted since yesterday afternoon... http://chicago.craigslist.org/sox/ele/3144382828.html and I have about 7 hits, all very reasonable. Since I will also consider trades, some examples are Galaxy Tab 7.0 plus and $150 and just a few minutes ago a 16GB white iPhone 4 mint condition ( AT&T unlocked ) not jailbroken plus $200 cash. As for straight cash, lowest offer was $400, and the deal that is most likely to happen, possibly tonight or early tomorrow, is $430 cash. So, hope that helps.
EDIT: I've just recently heard of Cowboom, never even visited the site. I hope for my sake people looking for a used Prime haven't heard of it either, and go to CL or eBay

That Cowboom site is going to kill the price of Primes if people get wind of it. I am thinking I probably should sell this sooner rather than later if I cannot unlock. $400-450 does seem good at this point. I saw your ad - good call on the Nexus 7. I got mine yesterday and it has been a real breath of fresh air so far.
Yea I wanna give the N7 a shot. I really doubt anyone is gonna trade me one, so I'll just end up buying one new. The plan is to get the N7 and then either upgrade the cell phone, or get a last gen 10" tablet ( Galaxy Tab, Xoom, etc for $200-$250. I miss having both 10" and 7" tablets at the same time.

GSIII To Note 2

So I'm curious, am I the only one nuts enough to considering selling his GS3(probably on ebay) for the 4-500 price to get Note 2?
I've recently gotten an itch for a tablet but don't see the need of one when I've got my phone and really think this would be a nice in between for the two.
Lots of people have just look through the other threads and you'll see a ton.

I'm actually a salesman for a VZW Retailer, I'm waiting to see how the rest of this week goes before I make the decision.
sold my s3 yesterday for $400 - gnote on the way. UR not crazy
Definitely the right choice. The pen changes everything…if you like retouching and doodling
Gs3 sold last month and have been using this stupid iPhone ever since preordering.
I am also definitely selling my s3 for the Note 2. My only problem is i don't have a back up phone and have to buy the Note first before I can sell my s3. How are you guys selling it for $400. Mine is absolutely mint and everyone on CL low balls at around $300. If i can get $350 i would be happy since i bought mine at full retail.

That's good to hear and know. Maybe ill try ebay. I hate not having the instant cash but just saw a blue s3 going for $405 with multiple bids and like 2 days left. I mean my accessories in the box and still in their plastic.

Price it for $395 with many CLEAR pics. Mine sold in 15 minutes with the guy coming to me. Also, if you need an interim phone, buy a thunderbolt and a sim adapter. I paid $50 for my thunderbolt on CL. Many are going for $80 - $120. You can just resell it when done and lose your $3.00 sim adapter investment
If you sell on ebay be sure to make it known that you are verifying the condition of the device with photos and video before shipment. That will discourage the scammers from trying to swap with a busted device and then sticking you for the money. Or even better when they break it within the first day and try to claim you sent a a damaged item.
Otherwise you can get burned because ebay will usually side with the buyer on any dispute. I learned the hard way with a previous smart phone sale. Took a month to get my money back along with a busted phone.

Just know that on eBay you have a lot more in fees, even if it sells for $50 more on eBay most of that will end up being paid to eBay/PayPal anyways.

I sold a Nexus 7 16gig for $120 and a iPhone 4 for $120 yesterday but I was impatient. If I was smart I would have off loaded that Nexus 7 a few months ago. Still a nice tablet hands down but I want to focus on one device and that's the Note 2.
