I came across an add for the Sony Tablet S that I thought I should share with some folks who might be looking for a deal.
Sony Tablet S (32gb)
Sony Tablet S Cradle (A/C not included)
although it says that the A/C is not included, I think there will probably be an ac adapter in the Sony Tablet S Box... I remember I purchased a different bundle that included the tablet, a cradle, and an ac adapter, and i ended up with two AC adapters because one came in the box with the tablet, and another came in a box by itself.
in any case, it's 479.99 after the advertised checkout-coupon here's a link:
Tigerdirect.com Sony Tablet S 32gb + cradle
Pretty spiffy deal wish mine came with a cradle.
I'd guess the ac-adapter that came with the tablet would just plug into the back of the cradle.

yup. the 32gb tablet alone sells for 499.99USD on the sony website. so really, you're getting 20 bucks and the cradle free.
the power port for the cradle is the same a the tablet. that's why i thought it was odd they would send two.
I think I lucked out when I bought my 32gb because I was able to get the Sony employee sale price of $399 end of November. But here is a little incite on that... If you have a local Sony store I would ask them to hook you up with the employee price. My understanding is they are able to do that and as I was told a sale is sale towards meeting their goals. If you haven’t bought one yet and are considering I would give it a shot. It worked for me and just like I had nothing to lose so do you. All you have to do is ask for it.
I'm a little pissed that I Purchased the Sony Tablet S on 1/2/12 for $499 now it's $399.
Best Buy policy is only 15 days return so I'm stuck at paying that price.
I wonder if Sony have some kind of refund policy just like Apple when they dropped the price with the iPhone.

Bummer, but not much you can do now. Enjoy your tablet.
I lucked out and got one from Best Buy at the $399.00 price with $75.00 off for being an open box. All of the accessories were included, just no box.

Nice, that's almost half of what I paid ($499 + 6% tax). Only if I waited one more week.
I paid 429 for my 32gb about two weeks ago
I bought mine (16GB) from tigerdirect for $316 shipped, refurb.
Advertised as open box.
So far so good.

Where is the cheapest place to buy one the lowest price I found was on amazon which is the same as a close store,
I also want to get a good case for it, after I buy I plan on installing Vegan rom so any suggestions on where To buy it?
Not on fleabay. You will mostlikely get hosed. Many people have had good luck with woot.com and tigerdirect.
You could probably look in the general forum and see if another gtaber is selling one. We see ones with cases and extra schwag going for the same price as new all the time.
There's a Woot! Off going on, today - there's a chance that they might add the GTAB at some point, and most likely for $285 if they do.

It is possible to find a good deal on e-bay, just make sure to know what your maximum bid will be, for what you get.
I got mine there, paid $300 for the package that included the G-Tablet, a case for it (would pay $20 plus shipping from electronic crap) and a bluetooth GPS that amazon sells for $35. So, in all, I pretty much got the G-Tablet for under $245.
The "CLIP" on electroniccrap is perfect for the gtab. Although it blocks access to the full size usb port.

I think I'm just gonna buy from the store, I don't want it used ofc I like the feeling of opening box :3
Ya I think staples is selling it down the street at least that's what good says for the same price that it is on amazon.

Currently, 10" gtab is on sale in Tigerdirect.com on $270 (use coupon code: FDQ33784) with free shipping (ends by 6/15). That is the same price I bought from Woot.com in April. If you want a good case, you can try electroniccrap.com. They have many custom design cases for gtab and good service. I hope it will help you to get into gtab world easier.
Thanks for the advice ;o Tho im not sure if im gonna buy by the 15 was waiting more towards the end of the month I guess we will see.
Just picked one up at the TD store in Buffalo Grove, and the dam thing has a white line down the left side of it, but the battery was completely dead so I will give it a charge and see... I got the in store price of 299, and I talked them into the 30 bux off.. ... Then picked up a belkin case for 25, so not bad..
It came with 1.2-4???? will play with it in a bit once it's charged, but might have to take it back..
Will re-rom soon..
Make sure you guys visit gtab for dummies page.

I got mines last month from a local Office Depot for $299.99. It seems that is they regular price for the Gtab. Sears also has it for the same price but their stock is depleted locally.

well just because it has the 1.2 bootloader doesn't mean you have a big loss on your part. There are plenty of choices for the 1.2 bootloader.
If you don't mind picking one up used, but in good condition.. check Craigslist out. I scored mine for $180 with all original accessories, including the foam sleeve that it comes in. Not a scratch on it!!
Edit: sellout.woot has them for $249.99 + $5 shipping today. That is a sweeeeet price for a brand new one!
Hello,
In November there were a number of places selling the dock for 99$. Is this because of the older firmware? I am trying to find it cheaper right now but cannot really find anything less than 125 after shipping and taxes. Does anyone have any advice on where to find the dock cheaper maybe like 110?
i feel you OP, im in the same boat as you. saw the dock priced at $99 around black friday/xmas time. tried to hold out for some type of "better" deal possibly. Then right after saw the price shoot up to like $180 lmao. I couldnt believe it. As of right now we have 2 options. search ebay or craigslist for someone selling it for cheap or wait until amazon comes back down on the price. Ive been watching it since it jumped from $99 to $180. its been steadily coming down ever since and as you said
its about $125 now. we just have to wait a little longer

I don't know how you feel about ordering from amazon but I would look on there. They have a Used - Like New Transformer Dock for 111.31 with Free Super Saver Shipping.
Taken from Amazons Condition Guidelines:
Like New: An apparently untouched computer item in perfect condition. The original plastic wrap may be missing, but the original packaging and software is intact. There are absolutely no signs of wear. Suitable for presenting as a gift.
Can't post the link since this is my first post
Enjoy!
there is a place on eBay selling refurbished docks for $99. I forget the name of the place, but it appears they had good ratings and lots of sales.
I saw it listed on gizmodo dealmodo today (actually it was the tf101 for $298 +shipping or the 32g version for $399 with free shipping) .

Big box retailers would have you believe they are quite expensive. The opposite is in fact true, they have a HUGE markup on any cable. This has been a truism for quite a long time. Your best bet is to go with Amazon or Monoprice for all your cable needs, emphasis on Monoprice. They almost always have the best price and have always been good quality for me, and likely others on this forum.

They all look the same but they're not all built the same. When I had a G2X about a dozen people had their devices fried using micro-HDMI cables all purchased from the same discount vendor on Amazon. High-end like Monster's a total waste and overkill but the cheap Chinese specials can end up costing you a fortune if they short out. If something's to good to be true, it usually is.

Exact same thing happened to me. I was just trying to get in line for a later batch of Primes. Didn't really want another one immediately. We'll see on Monday.
I just wish I could find a dock at Amazon. For MSRP that is.
I bought one for 523 (it was a refurbed one so for a brand new one in AG) on the 7th of this month.. So i said screw this im sending it back. Ill be getting back 514 and the new one i just ordered will cost me 503.. hopefully i placed my order soon enough
EVERYONE cross your fingers PLZZZZ
lol
So im excited to say the least. And I know of all the problems others have had. But I liked the one I had.

Couldn't help but see this statement and laugh. Monster and High-end should never ever be in the same sentence together. Their products are absolute garbage, but unfortunately somehow they have managed to achieve this pseudo-status of quality product in the US.
I have a cousin who has worked in pro audio for years and the name Monster is one that leaves a bad taste in the mouth from their awful lies to consumers.
I am not sure this is a big deal anymore. At least in SoCal, seems they are available here and there. Bought one a few weeks back off the shelf at Microcenter but returned it due to wifi and lockup issues.
At this point seems like the wise move is to wait for the next one coming out in 2nd quarter 2012 or look at an ipad3, or next Galaxy.
For the price of the Prime it shouldn't have the issues it has - big disappointment.
Interesting. My old car had AUX and buying any other brand of cable resulted in an awful sound within weeks if not months if the cable didn't completely degrade early on. Spent $5 more for Monster cable and that thing lasted me for 3 years before getting my new car with BT and the sound was great.
The only Monster product I ever bought and it completely murdered every other brand at Best Buy that manufactured aux cables.

I got a monster component video cable on Amazon for $15 to use for my Youtube recording, and aside from that thing being a thick heavy snake, it performed basically the same as a cheaper cable. That thing is so heavy that you could kill someone with it if you swung it hard enough. I suppose reliability is bulky
Cables matter if their analogue but not so much if there digital like hdmi

Newegg currently has new dock for 129.99, refurbished for 119.99
They also have refurbished TF101 for 289.99. The sale started just today.
Amazon has new dock for 124.06. "Used - Very good" for 112.89 and "used - like new" for 115.38
If you are going to buy used, get the ones being sold directly by Amazon(aka eligible for free shipping or Prime) as Amazon has amazing return policy and quality guarantee on even used items.
"Used - Like New" is supposed to be in perfect physical condition according to Amazon's own definition of it. If what you receive isn't in perfect physical condition, even a little scratch, call up Amazon and they will give you a partial refund to make up for it.
www.bhphotovideo.com is doing even better. I got my used TF101 for $250 and the keyboard dock for $116 new.
They also have the TF101 new for $350 which is the best price I've seen for a new one.
Used has a 30 day return, 90 day warranty.
Just ordered my dock of the AAFES exchange website, usually 145 but a 17 percent April 1st coupon brought it down to 120.35. Pretty good deal if your eligible or know someone who is in the military. BTW the coupon is site wide but the only Transformer things they carry is the dock and a case
Or, like I said above, you could get it for $117 with free shipping, just need to be breathing to be eligible.

Yea that's probably the best price for a brand new dock(other than ebay) but it really depends on where you live. B&H's free shipping would be incredibly slow for me since it has to go from NY to CA.
I get free 2 day shipping at both NewEgg and Amazon but I prefer Amazon cuz of no tax lol.
Saving a few bucks is not worth waiting a week for it.
Makes sense. I get it in two days because I'm east coast.
Got a dock for $50 from a dumbass on ebay with a bad charger. He blamed it on his dock. When I got it, the dock worked flawlessly. I'm using it right now.
Hey guys. I bought my Prime mid February (C1O serial) and my Wi-Fi is great, obviously GPS is non existent, but I do have the dongle.
Even though I have no problems with my Prime, thanks to a custom ROM/kernel, I'm considering selling. It's mint condition, with the dock. Now I could just start at just below $600 as the asking price, but who would know better than the owners themselves?
What do you think is a good price for the Prime with dock, 10` hdmi cable, and 16GB SD card? The cable was only 3 bucks online, and the sd I got for free, so I won't charge extra for them, just use them to sweeten the deal. I live in Chicago if that really matters.
Any input is appreciated, also suggestions on what to buy (besides the Infinity obviously)

Sorry, but $600 for a used device with no warranty is too high. I just bought mine new last week from Amazon.com. For the 32gb prime + dock + Sandisk 32gb MicroSD + case for a total of $639 including over night shipping. And with Amazon, if I don't like it or just change my mind, I can send it back where you can't do that when buying from an individual.
Amazon is also selling used ones for $415 for the device + $98 for the dock = $513 total with free shipping. Once again, buying from Amazon, the buyer could return it which I assume you could not offer. So, you would have to beat Amazon's price in order to make it worthwhile. I'd say no more than about $400 including shipping.
Sorry for the bad news - but that's how it goes with electronics. At $400 it would have retained its value amazingly well all things considered.
I was just on Ebay last night checking completed listings for the Prime. Saw that just the tablet alone was selling for about 350-400. Tablet with dock, orig box etc 450-500. Tablet, dock, dongle and/or case sleeve protector accessories i saw 500-550.
looked like the prime is still holding a decent resale price.
It was also amazing how many being sold do not have the GPS dongle.
just don't sell it to best buy... they will pay $110-$120 for it (shows you haw many returns they had)
but...its too bad you never got a square trade warranty with it. I would say reasonable is $375 - $430. obviously if it has a screen protector, perfect condition, etc it'll go for more. just sell it before tf700 comes out because then it will really drop in resell price

Wow..I didn't know that about the used ones on Amazon
As for asking $600, I just meant to start high, so the buyer can negotiate. I know I'm not getting 6.
But see, that's exactly why I posted here. I've bought and sold about 10 devices on Craigslist, and I do reasonably well...so it's not like I need help. But I wanted to get input from you guys, because everyone is selling high on there, and it seems too much to me, and I don't want to be just another overpriced used Prime for sale.
Thanks for the info ratman...appreciate it:good:

Wow lol. That's like selling PS3 games to GameStop You buy a $60 dollar game from them new, and they offer you like $9 for it 2 weeks later. Then you see it being sold used for $50. Haha.
I did consider ST just so that I could destroy it myself come September/October when something else came out. Send it to them smashed and water logged so they'd send me $500. Too late now
$300-$350 and it will move. The price will rapidly drop in the coming months so I suggest you move it now.
You have to consider the fact that even though this tablet is stellar, you have to have a techie brain to use it to its ability, with the Wifi/GPS/browser issues and all. Not to mention, you have the 300 already out and the Infinity swirling with rumors to be released soon.

Ouch, $300-$350 would sting
That's almost half price. But I know what you're sayin.
It's not so much how much I get for it, knowing what it costed me, but more about getting enough to cover my next device. Even though I've got $650+ into it, if my next device costs $375, I'd be glad to sell it for $375. IDK...the only thing out that slightly interests me is the 10" Acer Iconia A700, but it's not shipping till this weekend so no real hands-on reviews yet.
And of course, the Asus/Google tab
So many choices, so little $$$
According to current eBay auctions, the going price for a used Prime tops out at around $400.

I sold my Acer A500 and then bought the Prime. I didn't get nearly what I paid for it (I think I sold it for $250), but when I established the price, it was gone by the end of the week. People can find the tablet for cheap if they really need to. If you want to move it, then drop it a touch lower than everything else on the internet and stand behind your product. Works every time for me.
I've just decided to sell my HP TM2. I bought it for $1050. I want to sell it for $800. I'm going to sell it for $650-$700. It will move.
