Sears currently has the Dock. It's 149.99 plus tax and shipping. Cheaper than I found on amazon.com... which I usually buy from.

If that doesn't work just go to sears.com and type asus transformer.
Shipping is supposed to be quick, within 5 days. If this helps... don't forget the thanks button.

good find, i almost bought one off ebay, but this is good.. *ordered*
Sent from GadgetViews.... Rockin Evo CM7 Nightlies.
Just FYI: It's not Amazon that's marking up the dock, it's other sellers using their storefronts. Saying that Amazon is selling above MSRP is like saying that eBay is doing so. In reality, both those sites are serving only as the listing and payment mechanisms for other sellers.
When the dock has been in stock directly from Amazon, it's at $149.
Yawn. Amazon meaning amazon marketplace. Ie the place the merchants sell their goods and are selling above list price atm. Sorry for the lack of specificity between amazon as a retailer and amazon as a conglomeration of multiple retailers. Commense self-definistration.

Frys Electronics is advertising the GS2 for $199.99. Took the ad into best buy and they priced matched. $80 + the tax back in my wallet.
Frys sale valid through 11/3.
Costco+Amazon have it for $150? Costco also includes a case and car charger...
Sam's Club \ Walmart sells it for $150. Best Buy matched Sam's for me...

OK that makes more sense. Sam's only charges tax on the sale price too so keep that in mind. Either way, good price at Fry's.

If you buy one of these phones from Frys, or Best Buy, and five months down the line the speakerphone stops working, for example. Can you call AT&T and request a warranty replacement? Or do they somehow know the phone wasn't purchased through them, even though it's got their branding all over it?
Also, why can't I find the GS2 at any stores in Southern California?

Shouldn't matter where you bought it and they may not even do anything anyway without insurance. You may get stuck calling Samsung for warranty service.
Try Wal-Mart and Sam's Club. I got my SGS2 at the Sam's Club in Palmdale for $148 and change + tax.
Does amazon price match?
Keep on mind that best buy's price match is only good if the store you want to match has a location within 25 miles of the store you are at. You might get lucky and get a clueless csr but I doubt it. (There are no Fry's in South Carolina.)

$80 out of the door price
I told the guy to do a Walmart Price match 149.99 just to save 50 bucks. However, the sale guys kept taking on the phone (with his girlfriend may be ) and only punched in 49.99 + 30 tax = $80. I kept my mouth shut just to save another $100
Sweet, thanks for this
Thanks for the heads-up. just went to best buy and got myself some cash back.
It's always fun when you have to tell people what their return policy is....
BB-"sorry the return on cell phones is only 14 days"
me-"thats not what it says on the back of the receipt"
BB-"oh.....*looks at receipt* i guess you're right. I can take care of that for you"
The price on Amazon has dropped to $229. Trying to decide if I should pull the trigger now or wait until it drops to $200.

Very true statement... I've progressively meditated away the temptation of buying the Note so far... But out of curiosity, has anyone gone out today & gotta price match @ this amazon price yet?
I called 611 on my phone to talk to Customer Service this past Saturday to tell them that Frys was selling the Note for $199 and they credited my account $100. I was just three days shy of my 30 day purchase date. All they asked me was when did i buy my phone. I didn't have to prove that the price had dropped.

I got mine at BB for 199.99 and this was with an upgrade. They price match to how much Fry's is selling them. But it wasn't that easy.
The first BB I went to didn't do it so I went to another BB and they tried checking Fry's website to see if they could find the ad. But finally after 2 hrs. I got my Note.
Funny story is that the BB that did price match had to send someone to pick up from the store that did not do the price match.
Thankgod Fry's had one store in Illinois. During their promotion I used it at local Best Buy..... 25.5 miles away or 0.5 miles over the BB distance limit.
Might be picking this baby up 2morrow... Price matching @ 229, $50 off from freedom choice, $5 certificate, and $100 dollar check I just found going through junk mail today dated from 2010 w/ no expiration date from Time Warner in my sectional's compartment chest(LOL!!) will cost me only $55 bucks.... Prolly game set match 2morrow....
Good looking out just got another fifty dollar credit totaling 100 bucks to my account.
Thanks for the heads up. My partner has been looking for the note and we almost pulled the trigger when it was 249.99 on Amazon.

I received my note from Amazon wireless on Friday last week. Setup is super easy. Just be sure you don't change your contract for 181 days or Amazon will charge you some ridiculous amount. The flexibility off ATT seems pretty good though. Go over your data for the month and they just charge for another gig at $10. I will tell you that I called after I ordered it and asked them to ship overnight as there was no option during the checkout to change shipping speed. They upgraded me for free. Really good service through Amazon. MAKE SURE YOU READ THE FINE PRINT THOUGH. You'll see what I mean about 181 days.

I was able to get the guys at Best Buy to agree to price match the $229 price, even though it was technically against their price matching policy. Combined with the $50 gift card deal I had, it was fantastic. I just hope I can do the same when my other line comes up for upgrade next month!
Can anyone confirm if Evo LTE's purchased directly from Sprint in California are charged sales tax on the full, unsubsidized price?
Are Best Buy and Radio Shack charging tax on the discounted price?
I can't speak on the EVO LTE specifically, but every other phone I've purchased through Sprint, Radio Shack, and Best Buy has had tax on the full, unsubsidized price. The only exception was a WP7 device I purchased from the Microsoft Store for a penny, I think. I know this doesn't help, per se, but I don't see why Best Buy, Sprint, or Radio Shack would work different this time around. That's why I order from Amazon.
Also, haha, I initially thought (via thread title) that you were saying California was going to be taxing the use of LTE service.
Thanks, I've seen comments on other threads about Sprint corporate charging sales tax on the unsubsidized price, but Best Buy charging on the discounted price.
I would like to confirm what is happening now.
I just got off the phone with Best Buy and they said that per state law they are required to tax you on the retail cost.

I got the original Evo 4G for $109 from wirefly when it first came out using the bing cash back option. I also got in on the $119 friends and family thing wirefly had going. Very happy even though I have to wait. I should also mention I got a free upgrade from 2 day shipping to next business day with them by asking through chat.

Have you received your phone and final invoice yet? From the various threads, I understand that Sprint is charging local tax (7.25-8.75% depending on city) on the full 549.99 price.
Likewise, I'm seeing different quotes on whether Best Buy is collecting tax on the 199.99 or 549.99. Has anyone picked up their phone in a California Best Buy yet?
How can one be charged sales tax for an item on an amount that is more than the value of the actual sale/invoice amount?

Ditto.
I pre-ordered mine from Sprint tele-sales on 5/7. All I paid for was $199 for the phone and $12.72 for shipping, for a total of $212.71. I was surprised because the last two years I had bought my Evo 4G and 3D from Radio Shack and paid tax on the full price and the activation fee. The only reason I went through them was for the instant rebate. This year was MUCH better going through Sprint!!!!!!!

Same here on preorder upgrade on new line, charged $200.50. Maybe off topic but I'm confused why there was no tax. On my gnex order it was taxed on full price when I preordered...
Sent from my EVO
Pre-ordered mine from Best Buy SoCal and sure did come to roughly $253. So if you go the route of buying in person in California you will get taxed up the wazoo! Tax by itself was $50.30 and Sprint does the exact same. When I bought the Evo 3d last year it def was a tax of $50 or so at Sprint store. Sucks
Just wondering what everyone's preference is.
I jumped on the $49 refurbish Galaxy S3 deal to upgrade my wife's iPhone 4.
I may look into upgrading to Note 2 as soon as a refurbish is available (3-6 months?).
Android devices get AWFUL resale value (my Note 1 is worth less than my wife's iPhone 4) from online sites like Amazon/Gazelle, so only way to go is Craigslist or Ebay. I am in New York City so just wondering what is everyone's experience? Her phone is in great condition but power port and home button are not as reliable as it once was (both typical issues for iPhone's).
In my experiences you're going to get the top dollar amount from E-Bay selling your device unlocked. But then you have to deal with shipping, feedback, eBay's %, etc.
I strictly use Craigslist. I'm usually flexible on the price. Plus, start a little high and leave room to barter. Everyone likes to barter. It makes them feel like they got a better deal. You also don't have to wait while your auction ends. You get cash as soon as you sell.
Now, this all depends on the device you're selling. A Note1: Craigslist. Much more common device and not as high of a price tag. A Note2: EBay. Catch the big market of people willing to drop $600-800 for a device. You'll rarely find that on CList.

Both are good place to buy phone from provided the seller can put it in writing that the device will not be reported stolen, insurance claim or lost.
The device may work for several months or so, then suddenly it won't. The seller has then reported it either stolen lost or claimed insurance on it, the IMEI or ESN is then block by the carrier. Buyer beware.
I prefer eBay simply because you can get a good idea of who you are buying from or selling to by their feedback scores. You can require buyers have certain scores or higher as well as require immediate payment through PayPal. You can charge them shipping. One con is you get hit with a seller fee of around 9% if it sells. But craigslist people are more likely to try to haggle your selling price.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
I liked ebay till they got greedy between their fees and paypal fees, your losing at least 25% of your profit. You have to raise your price to offset them and nobody will buy.
The last 2 devices I sold weren't touched on ebay. Must have relisted for free 6 times. I put them on craigslist and they sold in 3 weeks. I got $275 for a 2 year old iphone 3gs-32gb/wht (mint) and $275 for my 6 month infuse (mint). I would not have gotten nearly this much profit on ebay. And Craigslist is free.
Beware of people wanting to pay via paypal and have you ship when selling on craigslist. Usually a scam.
Deal face to face and cash only. Sell local.

I dont think that would help. What they do (spammers) is send you an email from one address and the reply is to another. And then the spamming begins.

Or its a simple as "is this item still available for sale" seems innocent but nope. they also put the signature as if they are emailing from a cell phone. Smart F ers.....

One thing I've noticed on eBay when selling my smart phones is that buyers will refuse to pay. One time the guy was bidding on multiple phones and thought he paid to much for mine. Another I never received any communication from the buyer.
I was able to realist but what a hassle and time consumer. Then of course you have the eBay and PayPal fees.

I listed my og note on Craigslist, eBay and Amazon. Ebay is not the place to sell of you want to get the most money for your sale and there are many people that buy and no pay so it becomes a hassle and time wasting. Amazon is the safest one if you want to sell something quick (given a competitive price) I had a guy purchase it for 420 but after shipping and fees I was going to make 375$. I had my listing on Craigslist until the last day when I had to ship it and I received a text from a guy interested on it. We met up 400$ after (made sure real bills) I went home and canceled the Amazon order. Lollll Craigslist is all about patience and knowing when to lower your price as time passes. Hence I started to sell my note for 470 plus accessories lolll

I've bought and sold ten devices on CL in the past couple years. Its a great place to get good deals.
I never use eBay anymore really. Not like I used to.
Three times on eBay I have had an auction go through the roof on price within the first couple of hours only to find at the end of the auction that the "buyer" was a fake. I have no proof, but I think other sellers use throwaway email addresses to artificially boost the price on competing auctions. Case in point: I listed my wife's old Galaxy Skyrocket when I bought her the refurb Note for $49. Within 2 hours of the listing start (at $80), the auction hit $719. Seven days later at the end of the auction, no payment. After filing the complaint, no word from eBay. And they are STILL going to charge me the listing fee even though the buyer was bogus.
Then on the Skyrocket I tried Craig's List. Four Western Union and PayPal offers for twice as much as I was asking for within the first hour if I would "ship immediately". One even sent a bogus "Western Union" payment email without knowing my name, email address or virtually anything else. I updated the add to say "local pickup only" and next came the "please drive the phone to my location as I don't own a car" messages. The ad lived for a day on Craig's List before I pulled it.
Years ago, I sold a couple of things on Amazon's auction site. I am not sure how to do that today, and even if I did (assuming they still do that), I am not sure I would get much because I am not convinced there is the same traffic there.
I went to Gazelle. They sent me a box and when they got it, a $125 e-gift card from Amazon. I probably could have had more selling it myself, but who has the time to deal with the BS? I guess I was lucky in that Gazelle saw value in what I had. I have a Asus Transformer TF700T that I am about to sell, and they aren't interested in that. And I hate the thought of having to use either Craig's List or eBay, but I am not sure there is another way.
I sold one of my old CB radio mics on eBay, as is, no returns, because it was old, and I can't control how the buyer hooks it up. The buyer complained to eBay it didn't work, they MADE me return his money, then a couple weeks later I got a different mic back. You have to be extremely careful how you word your ad, I try not to use them anymore.
I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the XDA Marketplace. I've bought and sold many devices on both Ebay and CL but I have gotten the best results lately right here. No fees, cool community, and the ability to negotiate trades is great! I run an electronics store and I'm going to start selling some of our clearance merchandise on the market if it doesn't break any rules.
