Anyone buying the phone outright without contract?
Where are you going to make the purchase? Bestbuy, Amazon wireless, Wirefly, Radioshack?
I'm trying to avoid Ebay since there may be problems with returning due to hardware problems.
Ill be buying at a corporate sprint store. Then quickly selling my s4. Thats the goal

Looks like Bestbuy and Amazon are both marketing the Retail Price at $799 + tax.
Sprint's website is selling at $699

I can confirm that it is$699 at Sprint. I only had to pay the taxes on the retail price since I did the One Up program. My total was just $49 and I walked out with a white Note 3 in my hand!

can you explain your situation? Example, where you on contract, did you trade phone in? Explain your situation?

I bought flat out at Best Buy. They matched the 699 price at Sprint. I changed my mind about waiting for the 1Max, or the Mega. Who knows, I might still get one of them for Tri-band goodness. Luckily I already had $65 in Reward Zone Certificates, now I have to get rid of this Note 2......
I also had Best Buy price match the $699 price shown on the Sprint website.

i guess this is still the cheapest option right now?
I upgraded from bestbuy and they price matched sam's Club for 288 and traded my note 2 for 200. Now am thinking paying the 350 etf to get my upgrade back.

I did the one up also, but I had to pay 389.00 for the phone and watch and a early upgrade fee I think.. But whatever, I thought I would have to pay a lot more.

Walmart online or Amazon.
If you have unlimited data now you will be forced to sign up for the 200MB or 2GB plan. There is no guarantee you can get the unlimited back (unless you buy from att).

I purchased mine at a walmart store for $149 and was able to keep my unlimited data plan. The only downside is that they only offer a 14 day return policy compared to 30 days at most other retailers.

The store bought from is irrelevant, different states have different laws. In some states, the "subsidy\buy-down" is considered an instant rebate, and is taxed, whereas in other states they look at it as you're being taxed on the service for 2 years so they exempt all but the actual out-of-pocket price of the phone. To say "Sams does this but Walmart doesn't," etc is a useless commentary. It's not to say that policies and compliance are 100%, but the variance is by state\taxing authority, not from company to company.
i was told that frys electronics (san marcos ca.) is going to have the gNOTE on sale for 129.00 tomorrow. Only thing is that store only has 3 in stock.
EDIT: price is 229.00
wow only 3
Lucky you. In my area it retails for $750
Good catch, very interesting hopefully this a domino effect.
Sounds too good to be true, they might be flawed phones or something..
Fry's is notorious for flawed advertising......... either way hope you get one...
Ill be sniping online add come midnight if so ill be price matching at best buy or possable drive 30 to nearest fry's if it for all or most stores.
Hope its for ALL customers not just new this or new that
UPDATE!!! I just looked up Fry's add online and its showing the new one for this week (25th-I believe the 29th) price is showing for $229 not $129!

Wha? In Store?
I went to 1 of my local at&t stores yesterday, and they listed $250 for on-contract pricing. Seems the regular at&t stores usually charge more than other locations.
But I've been hearing that numerous places sell them for $150 or $200.
where on earth can you get one for $150 ???

I paid $229 from AT&T Employer web store. I had to buy it from there to get 20% discount on my monthly plan. Walmart can't do that.
Wirefly has the Note 3 $100 less than the Sprint price and free activation.

Best buy price matched the 299 upgrade price

I used to work for Best Buy, they price match phones to other "brick and mortar" retailers. At the time, they didn't price match online retailers, but that policy has changed since I left. I bought my Note 3 from Best Buy and I just got it price matched to Radioshack, $299 for existing customers.

Not every employee in every store is going to give every customer the exact same response. If you would have asked for a manager then you could have gotten yours price matched as well. Kinda ridiculous for you to say they everyone is BS'ing about the same thing! It's a well known fact that Best Buy will price match other online retailers! If you didn't know, you must not read many posts here on XDA, or any other forums for that matter. What benefit would everyone get from lying about the price anyway!? Just because you're mad that everyone else paid less than you did, doesn't mean you should say everyone is lying. Actually, that's pretty freaking lame of you! Lol

Go to another best buy. What they told you was untrue. Like I said I got lucky with the $250 that I paid simply because the manager didn't inquire any further after seeing the price on the radio shack website. But at the very least you should get 50 off.

i went to radio shack on Saturday and was 299, but they only had it white..did not buy
woke up Sunday and saw radio shack for 249. i thought, let me try best buy and see if they will price match. First the manager said no, only 50 gift card. As he saw me turn to leave, he said let me check, came back a minute later and i got the black note 3 for 249.

This may be a dumb question, but were you at the end of your 2 yr contract to purchase at that price, or were you in the middle of your contract? Which gb version is that one? 16, 32, 64? Im guessing 32
First and foremost my names Cory. I work for best buy mobile and I've also worked for sprint and Verizon before. Just wanted to put this out there since I know a lot of people are asking about pricing and such. One tip I can give if you don't already know is that if you have a single line on sprint you can upgrade to their my way plan for only $80 a month plus tax of course, this of course is for only one smart phone but it's a lot cheaper than the simply unlimited plan that is currently $110 per month. Also if you have a credit union you can usually get around 20-25% off the base price of your plan.
Please hit Thanks if I've helped somehow

Quick question for you Cory. I bought my phone from best buy mobile and basically in front of the store is a sprint kiosk. I dealt with the assistant manager and asked him to price match the buyout price to the sprint buyout price of 699. He stated that best buy only matches contract prices and not buyout prices and refused to match. I still purchased it but wasn't sure if that was policy or not. Thanks in advance.
