[Q] Buying Used Prime from amazon - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

Hi All
I am thinking about buying a used prime or a tf300 from amazon for around $300 and I was wondering if anyone has bought one used from the same place and how did it work out.

[Q] keep it or sell it?

I just ordered the new transformer prime, I also just got the original transformer and keyboard dock...
Should I keep transformer 1 or sell it/return it? What do y'all think? I cannot decide, I'm going tablet crazzy over here!
That is a rather weird question. Unless you like to keep old electronics sell it. There's no use for the old one once you get the newer and better Prime.
give it to someone for christmas?? Otherwise sell it
Already got everyone a kindle fire for xmas lol, I'm an electronics nut.. I suppose your right I should sell or return it, guess I thought maybe I could show it to grand kids one day lol!
Guess I will return it and be without a tablet till prime arrives
What are people getting for used TF and docks? If it is under a $200 I might just keep mine.

One guy on another thread said he just sold his on eBay for $450.
He didn't specify which model it was, or if he included the dock, may want to ask him.

Thanks for the pointer. I just sent an email. If I could get $450 for my TF (32 GB) with dock I would be very happy.
I'd sell it unless you have a family member that could use it. I just sold my Galaxy Tab 10.1 to get this. Bought it off of craigslist for $400 and sold it for $400. Think it will be tougher to sell (Galaxy Tab or Transformer) once this puppy actually drops in the stores.

someone received the transformer prime from amazon.com ?

Today many would receive from amazon.com because he receives can post their first impressions of wifi gps screen with etc.???
got 32 gray last week.
Wifi strength is tremendous... no issue whatsoever.
GPS take some time but thats not really an issue or something I have ever used
no light leak
single busted pixel but its hard to see
awesome battery life.
super thin
took back my Galaxy Tab next day. its WAY faster even with just 3.2
I don't understand the point of this thread. Many of us have been using Amazon delivered Primes since day 1. I got in on the first batch of Primes and mine is from Amazon. But how is an Amazon purchased Prime suppose to be different from Gamestop or Best Buy or Staples or whatever? And, I am about to get a second Prime from Amazon today for my chick. But again, what's it matter if it is from Amazon?

$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.

I've never heard mention of an active digitizer for the asus tablet. There's really not enough solid information out there.
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

Yep, my order came to $244 total with the 2 day shipping. I think the extra cost is to cover taxes possibly?

Nah, it's supply and demand. Price went up because people were probably ordering it a lot.

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.

Refurbished Dock @Bestbuy.com $100

Hello,
I'm not a big fan of Best Buy, but I noticed that they are selling refurbished TF-101 docks for $100. Do you think a refurb from Best Buy would be good to get? I know they have a bad rep for other items.
I have a gift card from Christmas from them and I'm thinking about getting one.
Has anyone tried them or called bestbuy to find out more info yet?

It'll probably be fine I bought a refurbished dock from a different place and it works like a champ it was in mint condition like no one used it (except like a couple scratches) the battery works perfect no issues found so far
Ill sell you mine for $75 plus shipping. Brand new in the box. Never used it. Bought them both at the same time. I got it out to attach it and play with it, and put it back in the box.
PM me if interested.

Update:
I ended up getting the dock from Best Buy and I was impressed at how well they packaged it. I've been messing with it for a couple of days and so far, so good.

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.
