It's an obvious fake, I live in the UK and they cost at least £450.
I hate websites like this as they must work quite well considering people can't seem to resist an apparent bargain!
Interested buyers should email : cellmaket@hotmail.com
Looks damn safe.. Fake
I got my SGS2 here in Finland for 456€ euros (650$) which is the cheapest in the whole country.

Its obviously fake, its misleading as it has false info, and to spot these, you need to notice a few things.
The Picture posted is from Galaxy S2, but the description isnt, including the links.
Phone Models:
Galaxy S2 = i9100
Galaxy S = i9000
Plus norwich union, bank transfer even ebay are run by a lot of the scammers.
Always check for a legit shop, and if you buy it from ebay, make 100% sure to check the seller's feedback, DO NOT TRUST any seller with low feedbacks (less than 30) and specially with any negative feedbacks.
You dont want to trust the wrong person with your money.
Better be cautious than sorry
3 at cost of 2 ? In other words new sgs2 for 200$ ? Cool - considering selling mine and buying three new from there ! (me stupid that I paid 560 € for mine xD)
If they were selling Iphone 4 for 200 $ i would have said it's true Samsung Galaxy S 2 no way
WOW i think i'm gonna order 2 of them! isanely cheap
EDIT: nah lol, just a joke^^
too good to be true. op, if someone is asking you to wire money (especially something like half now, then half after you get the phone), dont bite. theres scams like this all over the web ranging from cars, to houses. if there's some type of special or unusual circumstances involved, then likely its fake.

Hello My Most Worthy and Esteemed Friends,
I am corresponding with you all as you all as you have been elucidated to me as commendable through your good offices and deeds.
Through my fair service as Chief Banking Officer (Second Class) of the Imperial Banking System of Liberia, I have become encumbered by a sum of $23,000,000 (twenty THREE million dollar sterling) falling due to my ingratidudinous bureaucracy under the glorious tenure of former ex-President Charles Sierra-Leone of Cote d'Ivoire, who is currently dying of incurable cancer of the esophagus, in a plane crash.
I am most efficaciously appraised, in consideration of the unusual number of lottery wins that you have all had recently, that it is unworthy of my writing politely asking for help to move the fundage out of the country into a bank account of your officiating with a card to be delivered by FedEx.
Instead, I'm therefore going to blow the entire $42,000,000 (THIRTY five billion US dollars sterling) fundament and benevolence on this most execrable offer. Postage and packing not included.
That's how legit it is.
Yours
Hon Worthy Scamma (Mrs)
Federal Bank of Somewhere Unlikely
Wow, I miss "respect" button.
Woah! I ordered 1000 units.
No I didn't really
In your link it clearly says i9000 like, four times. That's a Samsung Galaxy S 1. Not S 2. That's going to be their "you didn't read it properly" get-out clause when you get sent old 1st-gen overstocked Samsung Galaxy 1s... if you get sent anything at all.

Thats what I found too, with delivery + sales tax (Calif) the total
was close to $38 bucks. (it's not a super special deal at all)
So what's the point since we can buy the same thing, same brand
at AMAZON.COM for the same price of $38.15 including shipping
and no tax.
Here is the link: http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-micro...f=sr_1_11?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1319943221&sr=1-11
It's best to buy stuff from a big online store which has a proven
record of customer service and fast reliable shipping.
So far I have not seen any items which cost less at any other
online store than amazon's prices.

Someone in my city is selling one on craigslist
Ordered a 64Gb from B&H and they don't know ****, and after the rumors of delay to Q2 and that Amazon will ship Jan 25 - Feb and that the launch in Sweden is also late Jan/Feb. I decided to buy from Ebay. but the thing that really triggered was what B&H wrote on facebook
" B&H Photo Video Pro Audio*Jeffrey Galles*- I think we got champagne today. In all honesty I didn't know there were two colors until a little while ago."
They don't even know what they are selling and have available for preorder on there site, First and last time I will have anything with B&H to do.
The one from Ebay is over priced but what is there to do when I don't want to wait like 1 to 2 months and by that time the Prime is "old" and there will be other products to look at.

I don't know... if you have the money, then sure, you one-percenters can do whatever the hell you want.
But, in the grand scheme of things, you'll only be using this a week or so (I seriously doubt it'll take another month) early so was it worth it? I mean, you can basically do everything on a computer. Tablets are not needed -- they're awesome to use but they don't do much in terms of productivity (especially when compared to laptops/pcs).
Also, by buying off the guys on eBay, you are perpetuating the reselling process. Do you know a big reason you didn't get your pre-order? Because some **** bought 10 of these first and resold them on eBay. Guys like these really serve no economic value. (retailers provide distribution channels and outlets, what do resellers do?)

1%? I think there are quite a few people in the 99% that can afford to pay a couple extra hundred dollars more for a tablet.
ebay is too risky.
Easy to get scammed by someone trying to capitalized on the shortage supply and high demand.
It's not worth it, I can wait a little longer till local retails began getting supplies in after x-mas.

eBay is why pre-ordering sucks. Douchbags waste inventory which ruins it for the rest of us. Really pre-orders should come with a 6 month no-resale clause with head-crushing as punishment.

You can tell your "Occupy XDA" story walking pal. A week? I'm on backorder with BB for 30 days and nobody knows what the real story is. Hell, I had a Gamestop manager tell me he overheard a conference call he wasn't supposed to be privy to and that he heard that there were only 1000 tablets shipped to the U.S. and that Gamestop got 600 of those. If tablets are not needed then why are you trolling this forum and dropping your mighty wisdom? The reason I didn't get my preorder has nothing to do with someone buying in bulk, it's because BB and the other companies got duped by ASUS just like last year. People pay for goods based on the value they perceive that said goods provide to them personally. If an individual made $250 or so off me then good, eliminating the frustration and time I put into this debacle is worth it to me.
Ebay is showing three (or so) 64GB primes. If they are truly 64GB primes, that is encouraging that they have made at least one run. Don't know why they are not available yet for sale though.

Too risky. There is a good chance the ones on eBay are from the bad wifi batch. And I saw one seller with a description that said he got several from Bestbuy.com yet he also copy and pasted the list of free games from Gamestop, including the part that says "Purchase a New Android(TM) Tablet Customized by GameStop and get free digital games!" So I wouldn't believe anything he says

Don't waste your time and risk your money on eBay. Expansys is already selling the LTE version for $700 including shipping. For another $35, they'll extend the warranty they provide from six to 18 months. (With their warranty, if Sony USA refuses to cover the device, Expansys will return it to the country from which it came, handle the warranty repair for you, and then return it to the USA once more.)

Good luck! All I can tell you is that I bought my HTC One X, my wife's HTC One X+ and my Xperia Z2 from them, and every one was a good experience. The One X+ was the only one where I had any problems at all -- I'd actually ordered a One S, but they couldn't source it and so after waiting a while, they offered me the much better One X+ at well below their retail price.
And for my Xperia Z2, I ordered the phone, two docks and headphones, then they contacted me to let me know I could save money by buying a new, unopened Z2 UK kit that a customer bought and returned without opening, with that specific kit including the headphones I'd bought separately. They actually saved me a good bit by doing so, when they could've just filled the order I had made and got more money out of me...
So yes, three good experiences and I'm very happy with them. Hopefully you will be too! I'm pretty certain once I can afford the Z4 Tablet, I'll be getting it from Expansys, unless somehow Sony USA miraculously sets a reasonable price for the tablet. (Last time around, I paid less to them for the phone, two docks, headphones, extended warranty and expedited shipping than I'd have paid to Sony USA for just the phone by itself.)
We'll see. Here's to hoping. I'm not overly concerned with the timeframe as much as I am just getting it.
Anyone know where I can get the Keyboard seperately? They never released the keyboard for the Z2 Tab Internationally so I'm going to use this. The only one I have found is this one: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/301652441507?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
But $288 AUD for a keyboard alone IS CRAZY. I was expecting to spend like $100...
*EDIT* Found it a bit cheaper on http://www.expansys.com.au/sony-blu...or-sony-xperia-z4-tablet-black-qwerty-275344/ $240 + 18 Postage AUD

You're not going to find it for $100 or even anything close to that. The keyboard alone, direct from Sony, costs 15,880 yen in Japan. That's the equivalent of AU$166 in their home market, and you've got to add the cost of international shipping PLUS a profit margin to make it worth their while for any company selling you one as a parallel import. I'd figure $220 is the absolute minimum you're going to find it for anywhere...
I bought at Clove - 482.50 GBP, but it bundles BKB50 Bluetooth Keyboard!
Can you believe people trying to get 40-100% markup on these on eBay?
People outside the U.S. that can't get them locally, I'd gather.
Talk about exploiting a situation..... SMH!
I remember Cabbage Patch Kids. Gouging has been happening for a while now, regardless of the product. If its in demand, someone will price gouge.

It may also just be that people with money want things and can afford it.
It may not make sense to you... But for the guy who is making 5 times what you do.... Paying double still feels like less, and time is money, why **** around?
I saw those $1000 for a 32gb one... Who woudl buy that? Its almost worse than iPhone people
You call it gouging, I call it supply and demand or capitalism.
They have every right to ask whatever they want for things they sell - more power to them if they can get someone to actually pay it.

Its not sold out so no that wouldn't work here. You can still buy it directly from google right now therefore it's not a supply/demand thing because the supply is there.

Except that it's apparently not available in some countries yet. Someone in Argentina I think it was complained about not being able to get one for a while, if ever. And if it DID become available, the price would be greatly increased.
So...it sucks because they're getting price gouged even more, but at least it's available...personally, I wouldn't increase the price by more than, I dunno, $50 or so to cover my minimal time and effort? But that's just me.

Except that it's apparently not available in some countries yet. Someone in Argentina I think it was complained about not being able to get one for a while, if ever. And if it DID become available, the price would be greatly increased.

Yes but not state side or in one of the launch countries. I find it hard to fathom someone paying that much for a 32gb but then again some people don't care.
I am not from the U.S. and I bought the Nexus 5, Nexus 6 , Nexus 7 2012 and Nexus 9 from Google US Play store.
Now I pre ordered the Nexus 6P ?

Supply and Demand, I'm not surprised at all.
Also not saying it's right, but it is a free economy, but shame on Google for only releasing it in certain area's.
EBay has always had a few ripoffs Sellers after Nexus launches...

There is plenty of supply this time, because you can still buy any of the eight configuration from Google store. It is crooks trying to trap uninformed people.

No, it's supply and demand. The supply in the US is plentiful, but it is not in other areas.
Also, for the instance of someone buying one in the US, that I'm sure you'll bring up, it is still supply and demand. The person selling is assuming they will have their pre-ordered device before a regular person will be able to pick one up in a store. So they are going to sell it to the person who really really wants it but didn't get a pre-order in early enough. If the person buying is willing to pay that high of an amount to get a phone a little early, then the demand has been created, and the seller is fulfilling that demand with their supply.
For example I pulled this off a $1,000 ebay listing.
"This pre-order item was ordered from Google early on the onsale date, and is expected arrive at my address November 4th - November 6th. I will immediately ship it upon receipt to the purchaser of this auction. In the unforeseen event of Google being unable to deliver the phone to me by November 11th, a full refund of the purchase price will be offered to the purchaser. "
That bolded part right there, would technically get to ME before my pre-order which quoted me Nov. 10-12, so the people who got in early, are banking on others wanting this thing yesterday, and they might be willing to pay.
With that said, are the people selling them for $1000 crooks, no, they have the right to do whatever they want with it, once they own it. However anyone who buys it for that price is a moron.
What ever happen to opportunist capitalism?
The value of the item is worth what someone will pay for it. If they can get it, kudos to them. If not, no one will buy it from them and the eBay auction will be back to MSRP. The buyer is fronting the cost of the good in hopes they can sell it for cost + eBay fees. I see nothing wrong with asking for the moon and settling on a tidy 10 or 15 percent profit.

Not sure i see an issue with it . People that have money will pay for what they want for what ever reason, weather its something they cant get in there county/ location or there is a supply issue and someone has it wants to take advantage of the situation to make extra money. no one is forcing anyone to pay those prices.
I wouldn't pay those prices for something i would just wait to find it cheaper lol

You nailed it in way less words than me, :good::good:
The gold one is what I'm looking for.... I expect to pay a premium since it isn't available in the US...
