This is the best deal available, unless you find one for cheaper than $140 used / like new on Craig's List locally.
Your other option is Amazon sells a Factory Refurbished model that has a full like-new warranty for $180 w/ no shipping and no tax in most areas:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-list...1&sr=8-1&seller=&colid=&condition=refurbished
Walmart will cost you about $214 depending on your tax rate. You'll get a $50 gift card, so if you shop at walmart regularly, then the Kindle Costs you $164 brand new. I've seen used ones for $140 to $150 locally here. Hopefully in larger cities you could find good ones for less. $10 to $20 may not be worth buying used, but if you found one for $125 or less, that might be worth it.

[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.
http://coupons.target.com/facebook-friends-and-fans-coupons
Don't forget to signup with ebates to get cash back and $10 gift card (Target, B&N, others..).
My NC came with very noticeable scratches on the bezel. The screen is perfect dough.

Google Nexus 7 16gb free shipping $241.5, delivery 7/12-17

Staples is sold out but you might still get the coupon for future use
Been looking around and not sure if this is the BEST deal but this is the best I could find.
First get this Staples coupon: (you pay $7.5 for $15 gift card)
$7.50 For A $15 StaplesĀ® Gift Card
Then Staples hasthe pre-order for the 16GB version with free shipping:
Google Nexus 7 16GB Tablet (Pre-sale Only)
Once you add the order into the cart, you'll see it says expected delivery is 7/12-17. You can apply the gift card at the checkout for a net of $7.5 saving.
Note: Just found out that this is not an instant discount. After you purchase, they'll send you the gift card by mail and then you can use it to redeem at staples.com.
Additional note: I found the coupon through bigcrumbs.com For those who doesn't know about this site, it's the 100% legit cash back site supports tons of vendor online. Below are the available cash back it offers for the vendors that sells Nexus 7:
Office Depot - up to 4.2% you can use following free item coupon (not sure if you can combine them all)
336010166 - Large Beach Tote Bag or Burt's Bees Head/Toe Kit
823541225 - Dane Butter Cookies
156437297 - Free Mystery Gift
595897257 - $15 Gas card
Adorama - up to 2.8%
GameStop - up to 3.5%
Walmart - up to 2.8% cashback (crrently pre-order only)
MacMall - up to 2.8% cashback
If Best Buy ever decide to sell the Nexus 7, the bigcrumbs offers 4.2% cash back.
Again, if you want to get cash back, you must sign up with bigcrumbs.com and find vendor in the site and go through its own links.

I am not associated with bigcrumbs but thought online shoppers might benefit from this place.
Edit:
Just found out bigcrumbs also have 2.8 cashback from Adorama.com which also has the nexus 7 for pre-order.

Just remember that if you have a Staples in your state you have to pay taxes.
This deal would still cost me about 270$
yea tax is the big killer.. but at least free shipping. too bad I missed out on the J&R deal someone else posted.
Staples' expected delivery date is interesting. Not sure if this implies delivery for all pre-orders or this is for Staples only.
Cool find, i would be buying a Nexus 7 since i no longer want android phones
We're so spoiled in Oregon, no Sales Tax and it's against the law for us to pump our own gas, we have to sit and let the attendants do it for us.
Thanks for the finds!
You really could have mentioned that it takes them 24 hours to generate the coupon code and it's not an instant ordeal.

Nexus 7 for a flat $249.00 no taxes in my case.
MacMall has it to pre order for a flat $249.00 for the 16gig http://www.macmall.com/ I've ordered a lot of things from them and never had a problem thus for.
Using my last yearly associate computer related hardware discount on this and just got a $27 gift card from a warranty on a hard drive that's still good...
Hope to walk out the door spending $200 or less

bigcrumbs offers 2.8 cash back on MacMall as well.
Apparently, Office Depot shows these in stock with free shipping.
updated some additional cashback for the places that sells Nexus 7, in US only.

Anyone pre-ordered Nexus 7 from Staples.com ?
I am seeing this in my order status.
We're sorry, but problems with your order may prevent us from delivering it on time.
That is probably because Google told everyone to wait until they said so

this last minute hold is messing up those vendor's check out process. The word is most places will start taking new per-order and shipping again next week.
Updated some free item coupon on 1st page you can use on your office depot order.
walmart is starting the pre-order as well with less than $1 shipping. see 1st post for details.
For those asking if you still get the $25 google wallet credit the answer is YES :good:
Staples is now taking orders on the website with 2 day delivery, you can also locate stores that have it in stock, but call the store first as the store I tried today said they weren't allowed to sell until next week (probably Monday) even though they have them in stock.
If "you" work for Walmart you can get 10% off, and you can pay when pickup at Walmart now s mabey preorder and pay when pickup at site to store

Samsung controls pricing for devices sold through authorized resellers and doesn't provide warranty support for those purchased from non-authorized resellers. The "deal" you saw was probably from the latter. Typically you'll see a Samsung sanctioned "X" dollars off every once in a while but usually you'll see things like a bundled in-store gift card or free accessories instead of an outright discount. If Costco carries the Note they'll offer some type of discount if sold in-store but not online where the pricing would be exposed. Depending on your tax rate it would be the same net price by buying it online and not paying tax.
This is today's price for a G-Tab 2 after its been on the market for months at Walmart, the king of discounting.

Ouya 16GB on amazon?

i've seen numerous articles that say that the Ouya 16GB version was out on amazon but i cant find it. Any idea when its truely coming to amazon? i dont want to pay the $15 shipping cost from ouya.tv
http://techcrunch.com/2014/01/31/ou...h-129-16gb-version-8gb-edition-remains-at-99/
"It goes on sale at Ouya.tv, as well as Amazon and Amazon.ca starting immediately, and the original 8GB model will continue to be sold as well at its original $99 price point (which is discounted to $69.99 currently on Amazon.ca)"

Samsung promotion

I didn't see this here so I thought I would post it.
https://samsunggalaxypromotions.com/Note4
I wonder if it will work if I upgrade through Amazon... But trade an old phone through Best Buy?
Last time I bought my note 2 at best buy they price matched amazon with a sprint contract. (They also price matched an otterbox and samsung SD card to amazon.com) which saved me over $125 on price matching alone. As long as the product is shipped and sold by amazon.com and not a 3rd party seller.
My local best buy(Knoxville, TN) told me they are going to sell it there on all carriers for $299 even sprint
i would try either of those options before risking samsung not giving you any money top make up to $200. If they price match as they say you will only pay $99.99 for it at best buy.

Yeah and it seems you have to buy and trade in from the same store.
I didn't realize best buy would price match Amazon and I was buying a case and screen protector through Amazon anyway, I pre ordered through Amazon.

I'm sure amazon has not charged you for the phone. Cancel that order and head to best buy and pre-order. Seems they are not getting a lot of orders the best buy in my large city of Knoxville tn had only had 6 pre-orders total on all carriers including mine as of Monday so I'm sure they are still doing pre-orders about everywhere.
Or if you don't need the phone would were going to trade in go ahead and trade it in and try to see what happens can't hurt if you don't need the phone. On the link it never says you have to trade in on same retailer it says:
1. Pre-order note 4
2. Trade in old device at any participating retailer
3. Upload pre-order and trade in receipts to samsung.com/ xxxxxxxxx (can't remember exact site but it seems it may work.) Contact samsung customer service see what they say
When does it get released.

I specifically asked my local best buy if they would price match the note 4 with Amazon and they said no. Only price match to Sprint stores, not even other retailers like Target etc.
Forgive me I was a bit confused.
Do I have to buy the phone at best buy?
Is this only for the sprint version?
Thank You
From the looks of this I should be able to get 200 credit for my Epic? Or am I delusional?
*** Just went to try the pre-order on Amazon, and it seems it wont allow me to keep my current unlimited data plan.. WTF.
Took the GF to BB today and was told corporate sez they have reached the limit for phones available for pre order through BB store's. She was unable to pre order one with the promo's. WTF?
Lucky I ordered mine a couple of days ago. Sheesh...
I tried last week to order the black model and got the same response. The white version was available, but I don't think I could handle having a white phone, even if am going to get a case for it at some point (if I get I get the phone at all)
I was told today that the stores cannot pre-order anymore, but I was able to online. Now I plan on going to store to see if they will honor the trade-in promo, since it says in stores only
My Pre Order Experience
Today:
Went to BB, was able to pre order the Note 4 and traded in a Samsung S2 US Cellular
Was given an instant $25 gift card for the Samsung and then will receive $175 Instant rebate at time of purchase.
I was told to pick up the phone on 10/16 after 10AM
Price match to amazon was accepted.
Also applied for an additional Best Buy CC, which is an auto decline without a credit run because I already have the card and they gave me an additional $20 off for that,
At the end:
$300 Phone - Price Match
$200 Gift Card
$20 Credit
$40 Gift Certs
10% coupon
-------
$30 Balance
Love you BB
Just thought I would add that it is any store, online or physical that is accepting pre orders according to the Samsung faq on the promotion. I pre ordered through sprint and will fill out the form through Samsung Web site.
