Nexus 10 Price Tag Sighting at WalMart!!
Looks like it will be in UK Currys PCWorld on 13th
Will be sold at Walmart. Cover attachment is ugly.
Please use this thread to discuss anything related to where you bought your device, how much it cost, how much was shipping and how long for shipping.
Thanks

Just my 2p but these threads were relating to different stores in different countries and were perfectly valid. No need to merge them.
So now I have to sift through a bunch of stuff about where it's going to be sold in the US to find the bits about where it's going to be sold in the UK? Are we rationing threads now?
Ridiculous.

Agreed. Im not really bothered where and what isle in Wallmart the N10 will be sold at. Im not going to jump on a plane and travel 12 hours to America.
Can we not duplicate this post and have a seperate UK and an American one, maybe more for other location????
Never thought one day I'd go to a Walmart to buy a $500 tablet....
+1 lol.to bad Best Buy is not selling it.

Are the prices in the Google Play Store what you would pay in total if you placed an order or would you have to add VAT and delivery charges on top?
Ok, it seems that my decision to make one thread about buying the Nexus 10 and the reason is a little foggy to some people, so let me try and clear it up for everyone. Yes we could make a thread just for the UK and the US, but you would then have to make one for the other 6/7 countries you can buy the Nexus 10 in being, Austraila, France, Germany, Spain, Canada and Japan, so having 8 threads on where to buy the Nexus 10 in my mind is not needed. These types of thread only have a short life span and will die away after a few months, because most people would have bought it by then, also these type of threads dont pick up that much traffic, so sifting through and finding the infomation you need won't be that hard, remember the search button it's really good at finding you the answer you need. So lets please not fill this thread up with anymore should we or not have more than one thread.
Thanks

Alright guys let's make this thread an informative one so people don't have to siff through much [What's done, has been done]. Rather than complaining and wasting space let's talk Nexus
So hopefully tomorrow I can find out if Currys/PC World will be selling the Nexus 10 on launch day or on the 18th. :good:
Yes I'll be asking at my local store on Sunday. I don't know why they'd wait till the 18th?!
Someone, somewhere on here said that they asked and 'someone' told them it'd be released on the 18th in store. Nothing concrete yet though, and hope that's incorrect.
The 18th is a Sunday. Why would it get released on a Sunday!?!
I'm going in tomorrow to ask. So I guess we'll find out from a few places and get a good picture. A release on the 18th is the sort of weird move that sounds like they're trying to follow in the footsteps of Comet...
I called the Walmart nearest my house today and asked if they had the Nexus 10 Android Tablet ("no"), and when they expected to get them ("no idea"). Very helpful walmart.
I hope it is sold on Newegg.com. I have a 500 dollar gift card to there I would love to use on this.
Thanks for all the good info guys. I'm considering getting one.
well not a shot to buy from handtek they are greedy uk prices are 319gbp for 16gb and 389 for 32gb and prices on handtek are too high for my taste ,really the profit margin of them is redicilius high and the review of their site over the net is not so well ,even if i am not in lauch countries i will not be tempted by them ,i will wait a bit longer ....
Any news about Sam's Club?

I did. Couldn't put up with "backorder for 30 days" email from best buy on my 11/30 preorder. Paid $759 plus $14 plus overnight shipping. Got UPS confirmation that it will be delivered before 3 tomorrow. No regrets, yet.

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
So the prime is released in the UK, and with the hoopla going on with online orders (can be seen in the other uk online orders thread), I thought it would be a good idea to setup a thread to shop bricks and mortar sales.
So where people got there prime, shop and location and if possible stock levels.
Please don't come on and say you got the display model last week as that isnt helping anyone.
what really isn't helping anyone is the creation of another uk thread.
there is a sticky stating no more pre-order type threads.

Sorry zoro but this isn't a pre order thread.... other thread is for online orders and this for people picking it up in a shop. If mods deem the thread inappropriate then fair enough.

I think most of the stock out there is going out to pre-orders at the moment - most of those also seem to be delayed.
Carphone Warehouse seem to be doing the best on those at the moment, some of their stores might be the best to check.

bad form. this isn't a pre-order thread. this is dealing with specific stock in the uk. and considering how tidy the UK ordering has been in relation to how many US threads were started to have only 2 UK threads on stock levels is pretty disciplined, 1 for online, 1 for shops is perfectly fair IMHO.

I rang CPW this morning after their screw up with my online order. I got them to check store stocks. No UK stores are showing stock in store today and she would not give me projected expectations when bricks and mortar stores will get them either.
good thread - subscribed.
Ok guys
anyone wanting to pick up a prime in west Yorkshire
comet at Wakefield have one in stock.
As I have just returned mine for a refund.
If you're quick grab it
No issues at all apart from the poor gps which you all know about as all primes pretty much have this issue.
I have been trying to return since delivery but had to wait til it was officially available
i.e today (12th)
Had to lie about switching it on but I did a factory reset so they couldn't tell, all the plastic film packaging is still on everything as I didn't want to jeopardise a refund if I changed my mind
I returned primarily as I don't like the screen size
I prefer the ipad 4:3 ratio
So go grab it if you want one.

I spoke to a PCW/Currys person this morning and they said that the megastores in Bristol (Cribbs Causeway), Bath, Swindon and Weston Super Mare had one each... Don't know if it's true, but that's what she said. Another poster on the pre-order thread said yesterday that there were none in the South West...so you can take your pick.
I picked up display model from my local PCWorld this morning ... just asked ;-)
Any news if atp is actually available in stores at all? Can't believe this launch fiasco...
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Is it really a fiasco? Which option would you prefer - delaying the launch so Asus could build up a bit of a stockpile (a la Apple) or releasing them when stock becomes available? I concede that their provision to online retailers has been far too erratic but the fact that you can't walk into a shop and buy one hardly makes this a fiasco.
It does. It is a fiasco. It's pathetic how people preorder it months in advance and then someone like me just orders one on 11th and gets it in 19 hours, when people who preordered are still waiting. Then another order from JL, them stating that they have stock, and still nothing, they didn't even charge my cc.
While Asus is doing great by releasing as many tablets as they can, retailers are really screwing it up.
So while its not , or only partially Asus fault, still, launch is a fiasco.

It is a fiasco because
- either ASUS have massively underestimated demand and produced 100,000 units for global distribution but then they shouldn't have been making so much hype around the launch.
-or its retailers that are too cautious and only buying from ASUS little shipments and then it's their fault that it is near to impossible to buy it more than a week after "official" launch in UK and possibly month after "unofficial" launch in US.
I tend to lean towards first possibility as it seems that none of retailers here or in US are able to get their hands on larger amounts of the tablet. Its not like I want John Lewis to have 5000 in their ware house but the way things are looking they perhaps have only got 100 (via their supplier which is not directly from ASUS by the way).
So the moment they got 500 orders on Friday they should have spoken to MicroP and in turn to ASUS - can we have 1000 more on Monday morning as we have high demand. And I suspect this is the problem that there's no availability from the manufacturer.
Just searching twitter and I came across these two posts from Currys PC World confirming they will be selling the Nexus 10 on the 13th in the UK.
Good news!
Not sure if we'll be getting more official news nearer the date. Was the Nexus 7 "officially" announced as an in-store release?

Great news! It'll still retail at £389 though right?
Hey guys, I work in Currys/PC world.
The big hint towards us getting the Nexus 10 was when they announced a partnership with Samsung to build a dedicated area for Samsung products. And it looks like Nexus 10 might be one of the main items
Edit: We normally get the Products in days before release, so I'll let you know if/when we do get it. Can't wait to use it and get it out on display
Converted 95% of the customer who came to buy an iPad from me to either Samsung Note 10.1 or Nexus 7's. Now it's time for Nexus 10 to take the limelight :laugh:
Great , Off to Currys then for me on the 13th!
It also says they have a 28 say repair policy for faulty units. That sounds less attractive. Is any other real store stocking them?

That can't be true. The phone companies will be selling it for free on contract. Yes the price maybe higher then the play store but it's masked in a 24 month contract.
There's no way it'll be £599 anywhere though. That's nearly £100 more than the S3 was at launch.

I have a virtually brand new sgs2 (white ) its only been used as a spare for my girlfriend until she got her new phone,so its about a month old. It has been rooted but no custom ROMs as she just needed the temp sim unlock which I have now removed again but kept the root enabled. So I would like now to sell it and was wondering how much these are worth today?. Its 3 UK carrier with all leads,headphones etc and boxed and has a screen protector under the original over covers.
Looked around but the variety of prices makes it unclear how much I should sell for,any ideas.........

Mmmmmm I wanted a community perspective on pricing because like I said I have looked but the variations on pricing are so different everywhere I look. I want to give somebody a bargain/fair price but I don't want to get ripped off either. The phone was free to me and I have a nexus 4 so I don't need the s2. Thanks but no disrespect I don't need links to here and there but would appreciate a comment like.....
" I would not sell it for less than ? "
" I think they are worth about ? "

i made a research on the used price of the s2 for a friend of mine, and it goes from 250€ to 350€.
i think around 300€ (or 257.55£) is a fair price
Always go a little higher than what you want to sell it at ( 250 = 270 etc.) because people always wants to go down in price .

Well If you're thinking of selling it...do it fast, samsung might drop the price of SGS2 anytime soon, coz its already doing that for many phones like S3 and note 2 etc..
Well it should go for about british 250 pounds(shouldn't go more than that) if you have all required stuff and accessories...
depends on buyer how much he's willing to pay..
Youll get nowhere near £250.I sold mines for £205 on boxing day,and a 3 month old note for £250 the day after that.Done it via eBay and that cost me about £50.
I believe Orange were selling brand new s2 for £199.99 not long after that.
You list the phone for whatever you think its worth and see if anybody bites.
Thanks all
So if I say £200 then that's a fair price yes ? Give or take a few £
Like I said its virtually brand new with I would say no more than 30 hours use.

Well in India you could sell that for about Rs.18000 to a dealer who deals second hand phones... Coz its only a month old...
That guy will increase the price to Rs.19-20000(220 pounds) and sell in the market... That's all I know... confirmed..
Plus markets are pretty different from places to places... Idk whether it's a good or bad idea selling it online...
Better sell it to a friend or someone...coz that person will feel a sense of security and already knows how less you've used it so will be willing to pay more..
Now u shouldn't be selling it nowhere below 170 pounds... Coz am already getting a 4 month used galaxy S2 in that price here...
Rest is your choice..
Sorry I was saying 250 pounds cox I had got conversions wrong..

The price would totally depend on where you want to sell it... Ebay is one thing, local Craigslist is another. As always, it's not what you want to sell it for, but what someone is willing to pay for it. In my local market, my target would be somewhere around $220-$250. $200 would be the lowest I'd sell it for. I bought my SGS2 a month ago for $140 on Craigslist. The only problems with it were the crappy battery and a scratched lens cover, so I had to buy a replacement casing and a new battery (about $30 worth in total)...
Duty free shop:
S II Brand new: $ 640 bucks
S III brand new: $ 740 bucks.
crazy right?
Sell it as Brand new.
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.

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.

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...
