This information is appearantly incorrect. I just tried to buy one at COSCO and it is $429.

Damn, I just bought the one from BB this morning for 429 after taxes + 100 GC. If I can get the costco one, I am so down with that.

Last time I saw there was $429 about 5 days ago.

I picked mine up at my local warehouse today and paid $349.99 - that price drop finally kicked me off the fence - it may be a warehouse only price as it's still reading $429 on-line.

Got 80 back today, thanks

Thanks for the heads up. I just got $80 back.
I am tempted to buy a second one for that price.

If you really want a good buy - pick up one of the SanDisk 8gig micro SDHC cards - $17.99 - but inside the packaging is a coupon for 100 free 4x6 prints - a $13.00 value. So the card ends up costing just $5.00. Not too shabby.

Why don't just go to target and get the 8G for $9, with a red card, you won't pay too much tax either. Costco got a lot with free prints, even a picture frame.

I was in the store where I saw the deal.

OP, thanks for the post... I went yesterday and got back $80

A500 at Costco
I bought one yesterday (8/16) at Costco in Overland Park, KS for $80.00 off - 32G w/ case. Sale through Saturday, 8/20/11. It is IN-STORE only. Not available from costco.com

The sale is till they are gone, like the flip camera they have still going on for $100 way after sale stopped.

If true, you can get a refund up to 90 days. I am calling tomorrow to check it out. I bought mine 3 days ago.
I just got $50 plus tax refunded. Thanks for the tip.
Also, Wall Mart reduced it by $50, too.
Amazon.com (direct from Acer) is now below $400.
Target offers them now at $399.00 And with a 15% discount, cost is $340... I already own a VS Gtab, Asus TF, and the Xoom but at that price, I can't resist... Do I have an addiction to tablets?

Is this a permanent price drop or is it only temporary? I'm looking at getting one but don't know when I'll be able to because I'm still saving up but other hobbies are taking up my money.

I too got my $50 but I had additional hoops to jump through. Since I was outside the traditional 30 day return window, (where costco can send back to the manufacturer) I had to go and BUY a whole new unit at the 429 price, take it over to refunds and return it on my original receipt. A little bit of trouble (had to have $429 available to buy the unit), but hey, it reset my 90 day return window and it reset my 3 year warranty (2 year costco, 1 year AMEX)

May I ask how to get the 15% off? Haven't found any coupon on it ...
Walked in, showed receipt, origional purchase date 50 days ago, no problem, credited my account.
Even gave me back my $50 membership since they aren't building one near where I live for 2 more years!
$398.00 at Walmart!
I think the price is going down to complete directly with the Transformer. Also, the newer models are out with more memory and the Windows platform.
The reason other places are still at the higher prices my assumption is that these units are already in channel at a price point from Acer (to ensure they had enough stock to sell). They do not want to sell these on thinner margins. Although...do they accept price matches with Walmart or Target?

Costco has a 32GB version, what about Walmart? From walmart online, the price for 16GB is still $449, the 32GB is $498, so the b&m price is 398 now for 16GB, right?
Since I was 2 weeks outside the traditional 30 days return policy. I got $50.00 cash card instead......

Employee discount
target has them in stock for $399 until Oct.
the october date is suspect to me, that to me says Acer is bringing out another unit in Oct.
Target $399 + $50 gift card
I have next weeks sales flyer. Starting tomorrow (Sunday 7-17-11) Target is selling the A500 16gb for $399 + a $50 gift card *while supplies last.
If my math is correct that is like getting the A500 for $349 .
Best Buy and Staples both advertise the "new low price" as $399.99 starting tomorrow.
I think we are going to be seeing many more Acer A500 owners
just got my $50 back from Target for the Acer I bought two weeks ago. Life is good!

Target Selling A500 $299 from Aug 14th...

Ooops too new to post links but check it out on androidpolice.com.
Same exact price as when I got it a month ago.
Actually, it's $399 and you also receive a $100 Target gift card according to the Target ad. It makes a little difference (or a lot ) depending upon how much you pay in sales tax in your locale.

I went today and they gave me 80 bucks back. I personally think Costco is a better deal since you get one more year of warranty, its double the memory and you have 90 days to return it. Also if you use an American express card you get another year of warranty (3 years total).

Just a heads up.... Best Buy is doing the same. I picked one up taday and got $100 gift card with purchase.
These are still coming with 3.01...
Who wants to save another 10$ ?
I just bought the A500 at walmart (through a friend) and now have the 100$ gift card.
I live in Germany therefore I can't use the gift card. I would sell it for 90$. I would recommend payment via paypal and shipping via email.

[Q] NC refub, a good idea?

i'm looking for a new tablet and found a refub of NC for 120$ is a refub a good idea?
with all the shipping cost it will go up to 169$, there are also other no name tablets (some of them are good) for this price (with the shipping...)
need some advice
Yes, great deal. I have bought one new nook and one refurb and you could not tell the difference. Do NOT go with a no name tablet or you will be crusing trying to do anything. The Nook is a great low priced tablet that is very hackable and easy to use. Plus it is unbrickable and can boot from an SD card

Ditto on buying a refurbished one. I also bought one new and one refurbished and could not tell difference. But check out the refurbished ones being sold on eBay directly by B&N for $119.00 plus sales tax and free shipping. Look at posts here in this thread for a direct link.
I have a refurb also that I got from Overstock. It was shipped from B&N. Paid 139.
It was in perfect condition with no issues. 1 year warranty.
So...at 119....it is a steal.
I'm glad to see that you guys have good luck with your refurbs. I ordered one from B&N on Ebay last night. $119 plus $9.29 OK sales tax. I can't wait for it to get here.

Refurb is even better than new. They rigorously test the refurbs so they are pristine.
Barnes & Noble is presently selling them on eBay for $129 with free shipping... And since you are essentially buying from B&N warranty issue should also be no problem.
I scored one for 119 plus 7 dollars missouri tax on Sunday night. Its gonna be a xmas present for a 4 year old who won't leave his mommies evo3d alone. I look forward to being part of your community.

It's a great idea mate. I bought mine refurbished with a 1 year warrenty and I'm happy as can be. Buying a NC new at this stage would be a waste in my options as long as you get it from a good source with a trustworthy warrenty furbed.
Get a good deal from B&N with ebates!
Ok, so I learned that ebates doesn't give cash back on Nook purchases. Now if you buy B&N gift cards (not customizable ones), that should qualify for cash back (8% as of now 11/30/11). B&N also has a $10 eGift card for every $100 gift card purchased promotion ($10 to be given after Christmas 12/26/11). Buy $200 in gift cards and get $20 later. You will also qualify for first ebates $10 gift card and cash back ($200 x 8% = $16). So if you're willing to wait for gift cards and cash back later, you can spend $200 and get $30 back in gift cards and $16 cash back via ebates!

Found a coupon for $10 gift card for $50 purchased at Target (in store only). Expires 12/3/11.

Best Deals on Galaxy Note 10.1

I just thought that a thread dedicated to finding a great deal on this amazing tablet during the upcoming shopping season would be helpful.
I recently missed an opportunity to get the 32GB version for $349 plus tax, and the 16GB version for $399 plus tax. I would've jumped all over these deals, but I was too late... I figured a central location for people to report deals would be helpful to all! I can't wait to get my hands on mine.
So far the only deal I've seen is HH Gregg selling for $449 on Black Friday (16GB). I'm really hoping to get it for $399. I'm crossing my fingers that Amazon drops in to that price to best the competition.
I can't wait to join the community here!
Update: Best deal is at Amazon for $449 (one-day free shipping with Discover card, plus 5% cash back!).

I also read abt $399 deals but I guess they were fake. I really couldnt find it on B**tB*y or the other store. I finally bought one from A**zon for $604.99. It is 3G+WiFi 16GB.
Keep checking this thread on SlickDeals.net; it's continually updated. So far there are a lot of deal on the G-Tab 2 but not the Note. MacMall has the 16GB Note for $419.99 and the 32GB for $469.99 with free shipping (2-day if you belong to ShopRunner).

They weren't fake - it was a glitch on Toys-R-Us' website. They quickly shut that down. It was a deal that was supposed to exclude tablets, but when you added it to your cart it still applied the discount.
Also, the other deal was an error as well. Fry's meant to post a one day sale on the Tab 2, and instead posted a one day sale on the Note. So you could get the 32GB version for $349 through price matching at BB that day.
@barry - thanks! That's the best deal I've seen so far!

Good catch! Amazon does too, plus one day shipping free if you have a Discover card. Also you get 5% cash back if you use Discover, so that sort of lowers the price to around $425-ish, shipped. This will easily beat Mac Mall's $419 + tax! I may snag one now... Black Friday pricing doesn't seem to be much better from what I'm seeing.
Anyone suspect a better deal will be lurking out there before BF?

Bought one from Currys in the UK (note N8010)
Got them to pricematch another retailer bringing it down to
£312.90
They have an extra £30 rebate off when you buy any case (this is on top of Samsungs £50 rebate offer)
Purchased this for £12.99
Got cash back from a cash back site (topcashback) this confirmed at £9.19
Purchased on my credit card that gives 1% cashback £3.13
This makes me either very lucky or very sad but total sale price including the case will be £233.57 (aprox $375 including all taxes)
For those in the US, just saw white Galaxy Note 10.1 16GB at Costco for $429.
Unfortunately with tax the Costco deal is more expensive than most online retailers. NewEgg, Frys, Amazon, and Macmall have the 16GB for 449.99 and the 32GB for 499.99. I'm waiting for a better deal..

On a related note, for those who already own their Note and bought it at Future Shop, FS has extended their price protection on anything purchased on or after Nov. 2 to extend to the Jan. 6th (rather than being only 30 days of price protection). I got my $50 back yesterday. Just had to go into the store with my receipt, and have the credit card I used to make the purchase originally.

Note 8 for $299 at Staples in Mckinney Texas

Just thought the Dallas folks would be interested in this deal. At the Staples in McKinney, Tx of 121 and Custer, they are selling the Galaxy Note 8 16 GB for $299. I think in their inventory they tagged the Note 8 as a Tab 3 8.0. Good deal. Got rid of my New Nexus 7 and got the Note 8. You cant beat that price.

I got the same deal in Visalia, CA. Best Buy didn't have white in stock, so I went over to Staples and even though online it said $379 it rang up at $300.
Not only did Staples have it for $299, but they also had a one day 15% off coupon on tech on wednesday. Got mine for $255+tax!

I talked them into honoring the 15% coupon on Friday, they were out of stock, but mine is coming wed. for 255+tax.
Got one on 8/29 when they had the 15% off and the $10 bonus on each $50 eGiftcard deal. It was out of stock in store, so they ordered one online for me with price adjustment. There was a $16 instant coupon for online purchase that was applied after price adjustment making it even cheaper than in store. I paid $223 out of my pocket including tax (after deducting 3 $10 bonus GC). I should have saved another $10 if I did buy one more set of $50+$10 GC. Anyway, it was a good deal even before the $11.50 Staples rewards and $5 credit card cash back. The final cost would be less than $210 for me. What a steal.

Just wanted to chime in to add that this is not just a texas thing, and in some places at least still ongoing. I'm in DC, went to a staples downtown. The sales person told me note 8 was not in stock, since they didn't have it on display. I asked him to look up which stores do have it, provided him the item number from their website. Turns out the store DID in fact have it in the back, and it was indeed being sold for $299. Lol, he was surprised, but rang it up for me and all that. That price + 25$ google play credit which I had no trouble redeeming made for a quite happy purchase on my part.
