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 just seen them on Tiger Direct for $269.00 yeaterday

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

yeah i guess you are right haha. thanks for the reply. man don't you hate that feeling tho when you miss a good deal? hahaha
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) .
r
I finally decided to order my Xformer today and got it from B&H for $250 (used)
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/800836395-USE/ASUS_TF101_A1_16GB_Eee_Pad_Transformer.html/mode/edu
They are also selling used keyboards for $90...but I guess I got the last refurbished one cause its $118 now.
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/761727-REG/ASUS_TF101_DOCKING_Eee_Pad_Transformer_Docking.html/mode/edu
The amazon marketplace sells the keyboard for $107 used.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B004U78628/ref=dp_olp_used?ie=UTF8&qid=1328491725&sr=8-1&condition=used
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)

No, I won't lie
But I will just say it it's out of warranty, I don't have to say that I'm the one who made it that way
Seriously if it's a techie that buys it I'll explain. But when buying used electronics on the internet, the last thing I'm worried about is warranty

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.
Best buy, amazon have this card on sale right now. Retails for $249.99...that's a savings of $190.
In case any of you wanted to jump on that deal.
Same deal on amazon. Just ordered one

i was honeslty thinking about it, but with how slow both of my 128 gig cards wake, i def don't trust this one.
I'd get one but for adoptable storage
Damn they went up to $79.99 now! Still a good deal but I would have jumped right on it if I could get it for $60.

This was only the first price drop to 60. If we look at its price history, I think 60 will be the new standard price for it by summer (first sale to 80 around christmas, then dropped to 80 as standard mid feb) http://camelcamelcamel.com/SanDisk-...n=chrome_ext&utm_source=&utm_medium=camelizer
Note the 64 gb @ $20 is still a good deal, cheapest its been was $18
BTW, I love camel, price watches and price history is super important with saving money on amazon.
