Thinking about selling my Iconia... - Acer Iconia A500

How much do you guys think I could get for it? It is in immaculate condition. Any feedback is helpful. Thanks!

Maybe try two hundred.

$150 to $225 would be about right

Depends on the capacity of it, but unfortunately they aren't worth that much anymore. If you are going to sell it though, do it soon before the new tabs start hitting the market and it will be worth even less.

Agree. Given all of the above and saturation in the tablet market, the seller would be extremely lucky if he got $150.

Based on your tax situation, gift it to charity and then take off $799 on your taxes.

Just looking at completed listings on ebay, they are selling used for $275+ typically.

i wouldnt go lower than $250. the lowest price i've seen at a physical retailer is walmart @ $330 for the 16gb. best buy (as far as website) only carries refurbs for $299 for 16gb. no new ones to be found.
even with a quad core 7 incher from asus at $250 looming, $250 for a used a500(10-inch tablet with at least 16gb and full size usb) is a good deal

Whoa, quick replies haha. So should I ask around 275 for it? Maybe 300?

A new a200 with ICS is on $329.00

Put it up on Craig's List for $300.00 OBO, then you have room to negotiate.

Where did you see a good review on the first Prime?
Just go over to their XDA forum in the general section if you want to see some VERY unhappy people!

Prime good reviews?????
Is this why Asus is all over the prime forum telling owners they are sorry for all the wifi bluetooth and other issues.
I would recheck the reviews and foums.. REAL USER REVIEWS Not from stores promoting the device. If a store is stuck with something they are going to claim its The best ever...
I will be likely not buying a new tablet until the new Intel cpu tablets come out WITH Windows.. I am thru with locked DEVICE ISSUES... ITS Mine i want to load the os i want... when i want..
ok thats another story.. Ebay is getting good prices for the a500 But only people with good feedback ratings are getting the high end prices.. good luck .

ummmm i sold my broken Iconia for $189 on Amazon. Its simple and easy. My screen broke, so i just bought another one and instead of spending $200 to fix it and wait for it to arrive, i decided to sell it.

Pretty good deal, $265 total including shipping. They are refurbished. That doesn't bother me. I wish they were the 10.1's from the Google I/O though, ha
Sorry if not appropriate. Just figured people here know and are familiar with the Tab and may be interested.

yeah, I pointed that out in the OP. Frankly, most refurbished phones are people who think soft bricks are bricks... I doubt much is really wrong with them. For a nice tablet under $270, not a bad risk.
I'm going to wait for something bigger/badder... but thought some may be in the market and are familiar with the TouchWiz UI/Samsung.

Refurbished means it was "broken" then fixed, and then inspected by a Samsung tech, essentially a refurb is better than new, new devices are only randomly inspected, say one in a batch of 1000, a refurb will be manually inspected before being sent out.
Personally I've had better luck with refurbs than new devices

Good point but some times refurbished devices are not carefully tested. Most of the time the tech will just power it on for few seconds then turn it off. If the device has heating problems or bad memory, turn it on and off will not fully test those components. I would say spend another $100 more and get the Asus Eee transformer. Way better than the Samsung and already runds honeycomb. I used it along with my clear 4g spot and works very well and dont have to worry about getting charged for 3g usage.

XOOM #2 - wifey operated

I grabbed a Xoom 3g 32gig off of craigslist for $450 for my wife... it was a steal. I had to drive an hour and a half but well worth it IMO. It was brand new in the box. Score!
Now... to root hers or not, that is the question.

Yea, I thought about putting the Tiamat ROM 1.1 on it...maybe even OC to 1.5. I am still on Tiamat 1.4.4 and won't do the ROM because I am using Bazar6 red theme and don't want to lose it. The benefits of ROM 1.1 wasn't worth losing my theme or messing with it in general.
Didn't they lower the price to $400? I hope you got a case in the deal also.

I had a Droid X and sold it and my wife has an HTC INC that is going to get sold also. Both of us went to LG Octane's for texting and phone use. We both found ourselves not using our smart phones after we got the XOOM's so there was no point in having both.

Post Christmas Eee Pad sale

Hi XDA,
I'm currently staying in Manhattan for another 3 weeks before returning back to New Zealand and wondering if any stores could be expected to repeat the Black Friday (or was it Cyber Monday?) sale price ($299?) for the Eee Pad? Or any tablet for that matter? Is this the done this time of year or have I missed out?
Cheers
January time there will be some for sure, with the release of the Prime.
I picked mine up from Futureshop for $299 on Black Friday.... Looked around today hoping it might be the same price for one for my wife, but nothing... Prime is still listed as pre-order here (Canada) (vs 'sold out') so it looks like they have no reason to drop the price until the Prime comes out. The salesman actually told me to wait... considering they are usually pushy and commission-driven I'll take that as a sign. Either way $299 seems to be the 'target' price for now...
Will post if I see anything...
Happy hunting!

at least they have a good return policy... if it goes on sale in the next little while you can always get the difference... I actually bought two iconias and the transformer at the same time as they were constantly running out of stock. I test drove them all and keep kept checking for sales but because of GPS issues with the iconias I kept the transformer instead (though I did like the build and connectivity of the Acer better. aside from the better screen I also find the transformer to be slightly smoother as well.)
Now running revolver and blades3....
Whatever... enjoy your new transformer!

If your new at this stuff, then do your homework here before you buy. Might save you some headaches as well as factory reset may not clear all personal data.
dudes, that's withing policy that they have written. he did nothing wrong moral, legal, or mischievous. I ts true, due homework always when buying anything that costs so much.. Unfortunately alot of stores don't have real or working display models. on the other hand, and it's always a person ora group that ruins it for the rest of us. just a opinion. happy holidays to you and your families

Aren't the returns supposed to be returned back to the manufacturer to get refurbished and sold as such?

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.

Axon 7 Both Colors For As Low As $355

https://jet.com/product/ZTE-AXON-7-...-America-War/b65aa518f60942ad959b5cba16282538
Hey guys, found this over on another forum and thought I would pass it along. Both colors in stock, with free 2 day shipping. To get it down to $355 you have to use code Triple15 at checkout and use debit card and waive returns. Using a credit card brings it to $361. They are both IN STOCK!!! Awesome deal:highfive:
Alternatively, if it is your first purchase from jet use SHOP10 to bring it down even lower to $346!
If you use code SHOP10, it's a better code saving. TRIPLE15 maximum discount is $30. SHOP10 gives you 10% off but maximum is $50.

You just missed out. It was available in both colors for about 24 hrs. They must have had alot of stock. Over 400 people looked at this thread.

As soon as I saw the deal, I had to battle with myself over ordering and possibly having the order cancelled or driving myself across the street to Best Buy. I decided to try and I got lucky for once with this phone. I've literally cancelled 4 orders that got delayed so even though I didn't want this color, I finally got the phone and for a steal.
Yeah, and now it's showing the grey one starting at $519! ? But the gold is still not bad at $361.
Always thank those who are helpful...and just ignore those who aren't.
Im thinking about getting this phone until christmas (or the black friday season). Does anyone have an idea if there will be a way to get the phone at a lower price? Is this deal limited time?
