For anyone still on the fence, Walmart has dropped the price to $569. If I had only waited one more week, that would have been like getting a free case or something.
http://www.walmart.com/ip/Motorola-...droid-3.0-Honeycomb-Operating-System/16504669
BTW...my local store is still $599, so this might just be an online only price.
You can hardly complain, the £579.99GB I paid for my 3G XOOM in the UK was equivalent to $940US, by the time I got a case and a dock, theres a G right there.

Sure I can. I can whine and cry all I want. After all, isn't that what prompted XXXX to release an update?!?!
I paid £475 for the wifi one too
Did you NOT expect the price to drop at some point? You ALWAYS pay to be an early adopter. I bought my Vibrant on day one and two months later I could have saved $100 or could have got a two-for-one deal and not stuck my wife with a 3G Slide. Hindsite is always 20/20.

Yes I did. I've been around long enough to know it happens and that the rules state, "Effective the day after it is too late for you to do anything about it the price will drop or we will introduce a newer and better product." In case you didn't pick up on it though, my post is mostly sarcastic smarta$$. But it was also there to inform anyone of the deal that hasn't purchased one yet.
Amazon's Price Dropped too
It looks like Amazon's price dropped too in case anyone was wondering.
Though, it might not be as grand as other stores.

So, I just sold my baby to my mom because I am leaving for the Navy in January. I'm still using the phone until I leave, but I sold it for a cool 150. I thought it was a fair price. However, I just came across this site called buymytronics and their site says the phone is worth $270! I checked the price on both the HTC HD2 and the 16 GB Iphone 3G, both only fetch about 120 in flawless condition.
I know Nexus's(Nexi?) are sort of a collector's item now that they are discontinued and only around 130,000 sold in the US(Pcworld article is my source). I just thought it as kinda interesting that some random site is willing to pay 270 for a phone when others of similar spec and much more popular are going for less than half of that. I almost want to contact the people that the site and ask WTF is up with that.
Oh, well I guess we can all revile in the fact that we have the the phone with the best resale value on the market However, if you are looking to upgrade, that Nexus S looks pretty sick, now might be the time to sell it to this stupid site.
Btw, I know multiple people who have sold electronics on this site, so it's not some cheetos covered nerd in his basement BSing all of us.
Which version was it..T-Mobile or ATT? You can still get the Tmo version by being a developer I'm pretty sure. Not sure where you can still get a New N1 with ATT bands though. That may increase its value?
I had to hunt down my 3 N1s I recently got and spent around $350 each and thats considered a great price. Mine were in brand new condition, with no scratch or mark anywhere. 1 of them has some dust on the bottom of the screen. Ebay sellers with good feedback get $380+ on mint condition tmo n1s, $400+ for att versions.
I sold mine last week for $500 AUD ($502.25 USD) and was the T-mobile model.
Not bad considering I paid $600 AUD for it 6 months ago. They are holding their dollar value really well in Australia.
i bought mine off someone on CL locally about 3 weeks ago for 300 with the box and all accessories, it was in good condition but had been dropped once and has a few dings from the fall as well as a small scratch on the screen. it was a screaming deal for sure. most people want at least 350 if not more. most t-mobile ones on ebay sell for around 400 and broken ones will sell for anywhere from 100-200+ dollars (i know i bought and resold a broken one hoping to fix it but ended up finding the one i got now for 300)

It doesn't specify which carrier it is. It just pops up the HTC Google Nexus One. I tried searching for a T-Mobile Nexus One no luck same listing.

That's crazy. Mine is in mint condition. I have never dropped it on a hard surface; carpeted only and that was only a couple of times. I guess my mom got a killer deal. I told her she needs to take care of it. If Nexus phones keep value you never know I might make money off of it one day. I will probably buy it back from my mom once I get back from RTC because I will have a ton a money and nothing to do with it.
i just paid $400 on ebay for my att n1, mint condition with CM6.0 and root already loaded up... i considered that a great deal, since i had been seeing plenty of att n1's goin for $450-500.
these are great phones, and that guy got a steal even for a tmob version.

I am just wondering wht you would call it a "stupid site" seems to me it is a site that knows what it is doing!
haha this thread is pretty interesting. Idk how much my rooted running CM6 would cost. been dropped a few time and there is one small scratch on the bottom. overall it's great though. especially i take care of the screen even though the multi-touch is crappy as hell but just a small problem. I paid $30 for a piece of sticky plastic made by zigg to cover it. but all the deals you guys been saying would probably be half of my nexus two. only if the nexus two will rock my face like my baby N1 did. otherwise I'm keeping it.
oh yeah thumbs up for the Google Museum

The funny thing is it is a stupid site. They will pay me a whole 47 or something odd dollars for my mint condition Nook. I freaking paid 185 for that new. I paid 550 for my Nexus and they will give me half that. Roughly, they are willing to pay 20 percent more on the dollar for my Nexus than my Nook even though the Nook is in better shape and has less wear. Also, the suckers that out right bought an Iphone, or even signed a two year contract, get only 120 for their phone. I just wish I had more obscure tech than this site is willing to buy for top dollar.
I like the idea of a Google museum. I had a G1, one of my brother's friends has a Cliq, my old boss has a MT3G. Most of those are antiques by now. I say we start tomorrow lol

Hell, I needed the money. I sell all my old tech to my family. I figure I can keep tabs on my family's tech needs better if I already know how to run it all. I'm the only tech savvy one in a family of 12, so there is a lot to do. So, I cut operating costs, opps I meant time lol, by letting them use the stuff I already had fun with. My Zune 32 Gb is going to my dad, and my computer is going to my sister when I leave in January for the Navy. Now they can call me any where in the world and I will understand what the hell they are going through. Although I really wish they didn't. I'll probably running a nuclear reactor or something when my mom calls to whine about how the touch screen is going out of wack on my old phone.
Well does anyone have one that they want to sell cause I would like to buy

never sell! You can't even get the ATT version any more can you?
This is honestly the first phone I've EVER owned that is COMPLETELY scratch-less almost a year after purchase... that's taking absolutely NO special care of it either... I treat this thing like it's a set of car keys and FLAWLESS even today. That's the majority of the incentive for me hanging on to it for so long and not jumping to another phone... prior to this I was changing phones 3-4 times a year all 500+ a pop.

Todays daily woot deal is the xoom wifi tablet for 399$, good deal!
http://www.woot.com/
I'm actually here because of today's woot... I had thought about picking one up shortly after they came out but decided against it for the price and my own lack of funds/need for it.
Now I've actually got a little money to spare but wondering if one of the other few competitors might be better so I'm trying to see what's best in terms of root, kernals, roms etc... Thinking I might end up picking one up at this rate.
I was looking at the same thing. Does anyone here have experience with the refurb items coming out of Motorolla? Are they generally in like new condition?
I am struggling with this one too...
I picked up a Xoom at Costco for $500 a few weeks ago, and could return it and pick up one off Woot for $100 cheaper. Only thing lacking is the fact that I lose the silicone case that comes with the Costco retail package.
Tempted to pull the trigger!

No - this is the WiFi only model. Not the 3g.
I purchased a refurb Xoom direct from Motorola at the end of May and I've had no issues with it all. I have a friend that also purchased a refurb Xoom direct from Moto. Both came in retail packaging with charger, cable and OEM screen protector as well as stock warranty. Didn't think I could go wrong.
Well, I think I am going to eat the $100 bucks and keep the Costco 90 day return policy in my back pocket in case some other fantastic tablet comes along to temp me away from my Xoom. I have until 9/19 for my return... ;-)

Yeah I just realized that when looking at the woot site lol. I'm an idiot.
I spent about the same on a used WIFI model only a few months ago. I think this is a great price for the xoom. keep in mind that this is the google flagship, therefore updates come ASAP whereas other tablets have to wait for their respective companies to give the go-ahead.
i paid 570 for mine at launch and I dont regret it. So, yeah, go for it.
I have been wanting to get one since launch, and woot's deal of the day convinced me to finally pull the trigger on it. Can't wait to start messing with it when it arrives!

I doubt they have that many refurb, chance are that you will get new unit!
they are probably checking if lowering the price help them sell, in canada they just lowered the price to 499 like in the US at costco for the wifi and at this price point it's a great device! I lub mine!
I was too tempted and ended up ordering one last night as well. Just quickly browsing, it seemed like there are some good devs working on this and some good kernals/roms.
Definitely looking forward to playing with it! As much as I hate waiting around for it, I'll at least have time to research and prepare my plans of what to do to it.

Interesting that today Moto site shows no refurbished xooms available.
The same deal showed up again yesterday during the woot-off. I wasn't refreshing frequently so I don't really know how many they had left to sell, but I know they didn't sell out during the day of the deal.

I got this for you so you can relax by the pool and read a nice book, or listen to music, or even watch a movie if you'd like" The she gives you a big hug and a kiss and when she gets tired of the damn thing its all yours.
PS: replace pool with balcony/backyard if no pool is available.

If anyone is looking for a no-contract Epic to put on a MVNO, use as a backup, PMP for the kids, or to upgrade a family member on the cheap, here is a good deal IMO.
Not sure how long it will last, these are usually only 24-48 hours.
They are USED and may not be in best shape, look for 6 or 7 rating for good quality.
Thank you SOOO much for posting this, just found out I didn't have insurance on one of my lines and their epic shattered lol.

I actually spent 3 months trying to fix the GPS i inexplicably broke on my evo 4g (which i absolutely LOVED) and just couldn't seem to fix it. The gps thing was more of an annoyance, saw this deal for $79 at the time of purchase and the phone i got was rated a "5". Screen was in great shape which is what i was worried about, would probably use that site again if i'm in a bind like now (contract is up in 5-6 months)
I was hoping they might have the GSII/Epic-Touch for closer to $200 as I've been increasingly thinking about getting a slightly older device to wait out another year/generation as I won't have LTE in my area for at least another year anyway and just save my upgrade credit. The Epic Touch is still $260 though.
However, at $160 the Motorola Photon looks like a pretty sweet deal. Solid specs, Motorola build-quality/signal and will be officially upgraded to ICS later this year. How can you tell ESN status on this site though? On eBay the Photons with a clean ESN and 'Buy Now' are going for closer to $250.

The Cowboom site has a 30 day return guarantee. They will pay return shipping.
The phones are usually checked, but if it turns out by chance to have a bad ESN, they won't hesitate to exchange it.

Thanks. I figure it being affiliated with Best Buy makes it a somewhat safer bet, but just wanted to be sure if I decide to pull the trigger.
Checked out the Photon at lunch. Not hyper-thin (sort of halfway between the Epic and the new uber-skinny slabs) but seems like a potential option for my situation, especially for the price.

Agreed. The reviews tend to justify the $350 price, but it's just not a magic spot. $299 along with an actual advertising campaign would've sold these things like hotcakes.
