Well, it looks like I am going to have to get the A7+ because of the multitouch BS. I woul just get a different brand but I love the screen and tegra chip-set and the resolution that everyone complains about is perfect for me and my ever-worsening vision (color nook res is too small on a 7inch!). I am pretty broke so I'm looking for someone who is willing to sell cheap because they are so damn rich they don't need the money or someone who is will to do a trade. I have a lot og gadgets and electronics and other stuff. PM me if you fit anywhere in there and we can talk. Thanks!
What country do you live in ? Here in Canada (Toronto area) factorydirect is selling refurbs for CDN $120.
Hi, Thanks for the reply. I live in US. I see they can be had online for around that price, refurb. However when you are broke, $120 is a lot of money. I just can't spare that cash that I need to use for essentials. I was hoping for a trade or someone who was just selling to get rid of it for cheap.

Here is a good deal I found on ebay India, if you missed the firesale or don't have anyone in US to ship it to you or carry it for you - and don't trust yourself to handle to shipping and customs yourself - you can buy it here - a little expensive - but cheap for a tab of such hardware, and now that Android is there on it
Worth the 350$ - as it includes shipping and customs
I don't know the seller, but have bought stuff from them - pretty good - but takes 3 weeks to get stuff - so if u want one :
http://www.ebay.in/itm/HP-TouchPad-...5?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_203&hash=item3f0ebcdf75
But again, I or anyone at XDA staff does not take any responsibility for this
That doesn't seem like a very good deal to me? Those were selling for $149 during the firesale. So you're saying that $200 for shipping it to India is a good price?

Lol. Read this wrong. Thought you meant $200 for an HP Touchpad and he is right it is too much. You can get one in the US for $200.
Why go for a TP for 350$? Get a Asus TF instead or GTab if you want VFM.

I sold my 32GB TP for $280 for which i paid a lot of customs and shipping haha. I don't think its a good deal on ebay. Also the seller cart2...... is just plain bogus, they order your goods after you finish your order on ebay
I agree with archat once can get a better Device for those 350 which is TF, galaxy tab, even gtab is better.
yes cart to >>>>> is total crap...
Read what I said, it's only a good price for those people who don't want to ship it to India themselves or don;t have anyone to bring it from US.
Hardware is same as any other tab and that costs 600-700$, so 350$ is not bad compared.
Your opinion, you can have it
But, 149$ was NOT a realistic price, better to get over that - even HP has.
@Crush : How much customs you paid for it ? You got it for 280$+customs+shipping ? Can you explain
And i don't know about the seller at all - bought twice items were small and reached in time - were exactly the same price as US price.
Just to clear this up for anyone who isn't quite grasping what this thread is about, madnish30 is providing a link to eBay India. If you don't live in India, or need a Touchpad shipped to India, then why are you even posting in this thread?
$150 is NOT a reasonable price for ANY Touchpad. GTF over it. Consider it a one time sale price. US resales of the Touchpad seem to have settled at $200 and $250 for the 16GB and 32GB models respectively.
Considering this and the cost of shipping to India from the US, plus the time it takes to get through customs, $350 isn't a bad price for this tablet. The Touchpad has very good hardware, and is worth the $350 even in the US. It was never worth the full $650 retail price that it originally was, but that's another story.
So, in short, if you don't have any reason to need a Touchpad delivered to India, then don't post in this thread. It really is that simple.
Exactly, well summed up CFB
The touchpad is worth 350$ or more itself, for the hardware _ functionality and the OS too - I agree it's no Galaxy tab, but hey that Galaxy tab comes for 700$ not cheap ! And this is for 350$ for almost the same hardware.
Besides, inclding customs and shipping the seller is earn around 30$ a shipment which is not bad !
250$ is the average cost in US today, so 350$ by no means is bad for India that too including customs !
149$ was a throwaway price, but seriously one need to get over it, it's long gone - and those lucky people who saved a 100$ good for them !
Again, I shared a deal - but nobody is compeling you to buy, you can keep looking maybe one day you find one for 50$ or maybe not
I'm from Norway, and I have a friend who is working in Huston, TX, USA.
Where is the best place to buy a TF300 in that area?
And do you think there will be a problem with the warranty? Will I have to ship it directly to Asus if I have a problem?
I will just buy the tf300 witouth the keyboard, and I will save around 200 USD. So its tempting.
He can pick one up at a Best Buy. That's where I bought mine. They've got a decent 30 day return policy, so your friend can test the tablet out and make sure it's good and return it or exchange it if there's a problem.
That's where I bought mine. First unit I got had a flaky touchscreen and I was able to exchange it with no fuss.
(Just one thing: as far as I know Best Buy is still only stocking the 16 Gb version. Office depot, however, carries the 32 Gb model and has a similar exchange policy.)
You can only get the 16gb at best buy but office depot has the 32gb version.
I am a bit sceptical, since some people are having problems with it. I think it will be a pain in the a$$ if I get a problem and have to send it back to the store in Huston or directly to asus. But then 200 USD is a lot of money..
Thank you both for the tips..
If your friend knows enough about tablets, you could have him try it out before he sends it to you. You won't quite get the freshly-opened experience, but you'll know that your tablet won't have to be returned.
That is one of the problem, he isnt a nerd
But maybe ha can get the store to open it up and look that it isnt "broken"..
Micro Center sells them for $350 - list price is 400, but they have $50 discount on most tablets. You (or your friend in this case) may even be able to buy it online - www.microcenter.com ...
I bought mine from the store, after returning Prime ... and btw - after rooting, this thing is just so much better than prime ... though with dock, a lot thicker

My uncle, just dropped his Nexus 4, check the photos.
Now what is the best fix? the phone is only 2 month old, has 10 more month of warranty, but it does not cover those parts.
He bought if for 830$, new here cost 555$ for 16GB version, I can:
1. Buy full new back cover + lcd,and just replace myself, but nobody can be sure they are genuine LG parts.
2. Contact local lab, that gives the warranty, and fix it there (and it won't be cheap, thrust me, I know), but he will get genuine LG parts.
3. F*@K that, and just sell it on eBay, and add the money to a new Nexus 4?
Thanks
$830?!?!? Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.... Ouch.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
ever think about buy a new one in a on-line shop??
830 bucks a lot!!! I think for all that money you can have a holiday in a country with playstore and buy yourself one..
As previously said ... Ouch and try and look at how much it would be to get one from an online retailer that can deliver to your country.

You know, when you stupid enough, and want the best and newest device, like, right now? now the price is "only" 555$ (we have 34.6% taxes on every device with cellular modem), so anyway, the best thing to do, is to sell, and buy a new? I sell stuff from time to time on eBay, just remembered a BB9700 with cracked screen for 120$ lol

Get a new N4. And tell your uncle to use a case, you have to be insane to use a phone that's all glass (not even all Gorilla Glass!) without a case. Try the Ringke Fusion - it's a quite nice looking case with a transparent back.
How much it worth in that condition?

I'm not sure on this. Probably not worth much - $200 tops if cracked, very few people buy cracked or broken phones. You could also get it repaired and buy a case, which might save you some money over buying a new phone and a case. It all depends on how much you are willing to spend.
Thing is, to make it look new, I need a back cover, display, and frame, so it just not worth it..
830 dollars? I'd jump on that deal in a heartbeat...-_-
It costs 360 USD including shipping here in my country and I thought that was expensive.
Now? Maybe not.
Also, are you talking in terms of USD? 850 a phone can get you something like, 3 Nexus's..
I'd suggest you sell and get a new one. There's just this thing about unboxing new phones that's so exciting
OK, I'll explain why that price, it was 2 month a go, so: firstly if you not buy from PLAY store, you can expect any price, in Israel it's :
17% tax on all stuff, and 34.6% on cellular equipment, and 2 month a go it just started to sell here, so again, new device, and you just want it no matter what, so there are always people that don't care about how much money they will spent, also israel is Europe, so its like 575$, not the 350$ US PLAY store.
Israel is NOT Europe! There are no such taxes in Europe! 34%!!!???? WTF???
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
front screen + digitizer is around $150 and the back screen around $100. So for about $250 you could repair it yourself. This would also be about the same price you would pay if you sent it back to LG for repairs.
Is that $830 US dollars? that is painful
How much is just to fix the front screen and digitalizer? I would fix those, cover back crack with a skin or case.
75$ to fix the display actually, plus maybe need a piece of M3 tape to glue the new display.
PS, the 34.6% is taxes for everything that has cellular modem inside, be it phone, smartphone, tablet, notebook, or even MIFI thing..
then there other 17% tax for anything you pay for here. I let's say, you buy a tablet, and it cross the сustoms of Israel, there 2 options,
if you lucky and it not considered to have 3G/4G/LTE, then it just like any tablet or notebook, and you pay 17% tax, if not..then there another 34.6%,
so many here, buy stuff in Eilat, or ask friends who go on vacation, as there no taxes on products, some say it maybe stop once..but I hope not soon..
What I mean by europe is, the some places say it's Europe, as the price is same as in other European countries, so we used to compare to Europe.
Just recently bought an SM-T555 for a steal on Ebay, it's mint condition and works perfectly except I bought it with a known display issue.
Basically it had what looked like a large pressure mark on the lcd screen (looked like trapped moisture).
Upon further investigation after disassembly it seems the battery has swelled causing pressure on the screen.
Has anyone got any suggestions for a cheap but decent replacement battery where I can buy in the UK?
Looked on Ebay but I don't accept that the so called 'GENUINE' SAMSUNG batteries on Ebay are actually genuine.
However if anyone has purchased let me know.
Try buying it from Samsung?

Thing is I bought the tablet for £65 in mint condition except for the large pressure mark.
Considering the price I paid I don't want to negate that by purchasing an expensive battery.

Every thing you get from Samsung is overpriced. They get supplies from China manufacturers.
You can get almost every part with Samsung logo on it from Ebay, cheapest price is always from China.
Accessories like S Pen, Samsung sells it around $20 but you can get it from Ali Express for only $2/each.
Sending a tablet to Samsung to get a LCD replaced, you have to pay at least $250, but buying online by yourself, it only costs around $90.
A tablet with broken USB port, expect to pay Samsung over $100 to get it fixed, buy it yourself, it costs only 50 cents.
I got a 64gb pixel C in a perfect shape... not even 1 scratch and with a screen protector and it's keyboard, but so far I don't know if there is a demand of it.
Do you guys know for how much could that be sold? I'm in Spain but I'll send it anywhere to be honest.
I'm just sad to throw it away as it is in a perfect shape.
Thank you everybody!
Check out ebay, you can search completed sales and see what they are going for. In the US they are around $100 to $120 usd
