Walmart Clearance

Anyone one thinking about buying a XOOM might want to check their local Walmart...just picked one up for $398.00 on clearance. Same price is available on the Walmart website.

Refurbished. Not a bad price though.

The new ones are listed in a different spot for the same price as the refurbished ones on the website. Item and price only seem to show up using the mobile web site...

Still too expensive, especially for a refurb. Their pretty much at end of life with new tablets, including new xooms, about to come out. They should be 350 at most. More like $300 or less for a refurb.

I don't know why the word "refurbished" keeps coming up...I walked out of a Walmart store with a brand new Xoom for $398.00. All I was trying to do was share information and maybe save someone else a few bucks on a Brand NEW Zoom.

Do you have a Xoom? Another android tablet? Just curious.

it is too expensive. I'm a day one wifi user, and i love my tablet and will be using it for years to come, but with everything else out there now it shouldnt be more than 350.

Everything is relative. What you say might be true only by the same token that the Xoom was too much from "day one".

sweet +1 ......

Picked up a WIFI 32 GB Xoom at BJ's on Wednesday for $320. It was their last one on clearance and is not a refurb.

Lol I imported one from Verizon up to Canada on 2 for around a grand. I like my toys

If anyone is interested, Target has them on sale as of today for $399 and they're giving away a free case. The add doesn't specify which case, just says it's a $39.99 value.

Verizon Galaxy Note 2 @ Best Buy.

Hey guys I was just wondering if anyone had an idea when best buy will be carrying the Verizon galaxy note 2?
I was at best buy today and the sales lady said she heard not until next year but that seems crazy to wait that long since all the other carriers already have it.

I'm a bestbuy employee and I can't tell you the exacts but I can tell you to "expect" them to be released tomorrow. These are not verizon exclusive phones like the DNA, meaning only Verizon can sell the DNA for a few weeks, best buy and other third party retailers to follow. The note should launch in line at best buy with Verizon. Honestly it makes me sick to know we have people in the company like this lady who don't do their research, when it is their job. If she would look in our inventory system that every employee has access to and look at the advance details of the note II for verizon, she should see that her store has them on order with a provided street date.
Provide me with your stores location Equalizir and I'd be happy to check for you since she didn't.

Hi Jdedeaux,
Thanks for the info. Also thanks for looking up when they'll be getting them. Here's the address:
611 Mark's Street
Henderson, Nv.89014
I don't want to bash the salesperson because she was super nice and answered my other questions. I get very little help at this particular location. One year I came in to buy a new tv. I asked a girl to help me and she said she'd be right back. 5 minutes later she was talking to someone else. I had to get someone from a different department. It really sucked.
So thanks again, I really appreciate it.

Jdedeaux,
Would we be able to go to a Best Buy tonight, and prepurchase or put a deposit down on one of these to guarantee pickup for tomorrow?
Any idea if the stores in Reston, Tyson's Corner or Alexandria Virginia will have any in stock tomorrow (specifically, Grey)?
Thanks!

Yes, the Verizon Note 2 has been available to preorder for a couple weeks now. You basically purchase a $50 gift card from them for the right to have one reserved. The are only taking reservations for the white ones.

^^ This. Most stores don't realize we are doing pre sales on them. As far as only the white ones I cant confirm that - but all your store "should" have them in stock tomorrow - as far as how many I can't say .... just go camp the door @ 9/10am.

Thanks again. Does Best Buy price match Verizon Wireless if I'm buying off-contract? I know theirs will be $100 more expensive, but I have $400 in gift cards burning a hole through my pocket (of course, they won't know that until I walk up to the register).

You don't want them to price match Verizon. You want them to price match ATT or Wal-Mart. I think I've read Wal-Mart was cheaper too.

Yes, best buy will price match off contract prices for the exact same model as long as verizon has it in stock and it is a corporate verizon store, not a third party verizon store.

Lol...what??? Best Buy WILL NOT price match a verizon galaxy note II for an ATT Galaxy note II. Two different products despite the same name. Wal-Mart though will suffice, again as long as it is the SAME CARRIER, and they have it in stock.
Don't forget to get bestbuys monthly protection plan on your phone. Unlimited claims , no deductibles, 9.99 a month, can cancel at anytime. Covers water, accidental damage, screen breaks, etc. etc.

The Verizon Galaxy Note 2 is on WWW.BESTBUY.COM now!!! Check your store via zip code and see if they have it in stock (most stores "should")! Both white and titanium grey!!!!

I went to my local best buy this morning and the salesperson said they haven't gotten them in yet. She said probably sometime next week.
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium

Just called best buy, they will hold one for me, but I can't find any add (for price match) lower than $699.99 from Verizon web page. I did some searching, but can't find anything. If someone don't mind helping me, please post a link with a cheaper price tag! That would be great!!! Thanks in advance.

Best buy just outright refused to price match off contract, and told me that they aren't even supposed to be selling them off contract. I bought the white one, but I'll use it for 3 weeks, return it for my money back, and then force them to price match whatever price Verizon is selling theirs at. I was pissed, but bent over a barrel since I wanted the phone.

That's weird that my local best buy doesn't even have them.kinda pisses me off.

That's odd, although I did notice a few big box stores that did not get them. You can always order it on dot.com and have it shipped to store free in 3-5 days.

Did you ask to speak to a mobile manager or a general manager? That's absurd that they wouldn't price match it. We are ALWAYS willing to sell phones off contract. This goes back to my original post about poor workers in this company. We are currently in the season for price matching, it is even on the new we are price matching AMAZON.

Mobile stores in NYC selling unlocked Nexus 4?

Hi!
I'll be in NYC on a vacation later this year (I live outside the US). I really want to buy Nexus 4 but I don't want to buy it from the Play Store because I'm not sure what the delivery options are. Since I'm a tourist I don't want to spend parts of a day in my apartment waiting for a courier.
So I think the solution would be to buy from a walk-in store in NYC. I need the phone to be unlocked obviously and free of contracts.
Can anyone recommend such a store?
Is T-Mobile selling no contract Nexus phones?
Thanks,

uh huh. quite the markup though. I believe they are running a promo on it for $50 on contract right now though, so I'm not sure how that's affecting tmo's supply if you're looking to be able to just pick one up. Lotta tmo stores in nyc though...

I'm not sure what you mean about the markup - I don't understand your answer .
It doesn't really help me that there a lot of Tmobile stores and that they're running a promo for contracts, because I was pretty specific about the fact that I live outside the US and looking for a non contract deal.
Also, I mentioned it'll be "later this year" so the fact that there's a promo now doesn't really say anything about the stock situation later this year.
Anyone with a good answer?
Thanks

The dude is on vacation to US and u r asking him to buy a US-based contract phone, where he will have to show himself as US citizen to purchase the contract-based phone and then pay monthly bills?
Way to go.:good:

Both the op and filthykid need to go and read ziddey`s reply because i understand it perfectly instead of being antagonistic to him.
He stated yes it is available but there is a markup so not the price in play store.
He said there was a current promo on contract phones so that may affect supply of non contract(he never said go and buy a contract)
He said there are loads of tmobile stores in NYC-so shouldn`t be an issue finding one.
As for later in the year- get a crystal ball.

Yes they do but they're like twice as much as they are on the Play Store. I'd advise purchasing it there for 350 USD. Don't buy them on eBay, Amazon, or Swappa because people sell them for twice the Play Store price to take advantage of people when Google's Nexus 4 inventory is empty.

Is Best Buy Serious?

I was all set to trade in my S3 for an S4 using Best Buys 'buy back' program. I just got a notification that they're accepting pre-orders, but for the unactivated full price of, wait for it, $749.99!!! What the heck? That's $100 more than At&t. What a bummer...

They'll price match AT&T.

That's what I thought. In fact it's part of their low price guarantee. But At&t has already announce what they're selling it for, you'd think Best Buy would have check that first.

how much do they really buy back? Aren'y you better off selling it on ebay or craigslist? You can probably sell it for $400.

Bestbuy is a total ripoff if you buy full price. The price point for this device is too damn high.

If you are not in a rush, wait a month. Even in the UK the sim free prices are heavily inflated. In a month or two they will drop along with bug fixes.

How exactly does it work? Do you place the pre-order at the $749.99 price, and then when you go to pick it up, you bring a printout of the AT&T page showing the AT&T price, and they refund you the difference then?
Or is there some other process? I must admit I do appreciate the 30-day return policy and the no restocking fee of Best Buy versus 14 days + restocking fee at AT&T.
Edit: I just notice that pickup is not an option... shipping only, apparently.

Do not do any buy back bs they will always low ball you... Just sell it on craigslist and make more money.
I was on best buy website and the price is ridiculous.

Bestbuy no longer price matches contract phones...FYI.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

My local Best Buys WILL price match contract phones at local store rates (not online), but they will not price match pre-orders. So you will have to pre-order and exchange your $50 cash for a gift card, and then bring the ad and have the store call the local store to verify the price/promotion once you pick up your phone.
But of course, some stores will do contract phones and some won't. Just depends on the store/sales rep/manager. Full-price unsubsidized phones should be no problem, though, once the phone is actually released.

I would double check that.... if your local store does that your EXTREMELY lucky...... policy changed around march 4th.

I've heard other stores have as well. And I was just there for the One pre-order not too long ago. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a policy change, as employees there don't seem to be well versed in much, but regardless of that my answer still stands.

You sir are lucky.... . My customers would kill to be able to still price match contract devices..... . Either way I'm excited for this launch...

Guys, they price match, that's for sure.... I asked when going in-store to pre-order - I'm not paying full price online and wait for shipping when I can pay $50 to reserve one and get it on launch day just like I did last year - they will now price match Amazon
I had to price match the SIII for $150 on launch last year with Target, since they weren't doing online price matching, but now they are, so just escalate it until you get it matched! I only paid $100 for my SIII on launch (see below)! Just go into the store and pay the $50 to reserve it, then deal with the price matching on launch day, it's all very simple and I've done this at least 4 times in the last 2 years with various Best Buy stores for the phone accounts I manage
I know I'm walking away with this S4 on launch day for $50 off from the Phone Freedom thing they did this year like last year, and hopefully another $50 more off from price matching!

Back when the evo3d dropped with the phone buy back and a price match I pulled up on my phone in the store, I ended up walking out of the best buy in town with one for under 20 bucks out of pocket. Was only a year ago. Hope this isn't true about them no longer doing any price matching. I'll actually have to order one online from somewhere lol.

I'm trying to follow this.... so a year ago, you went to a BBY and bought a year old phone for $20 after a buy back and a price match? Shouldn't they have given you money at that point???
I forgot to mention, if you are on this forum and using the buy back system, let me introduce you to Craigslist for quick cash or eBay for the best profits.... I sold an iPhone 4 on eBay that my cousin bought and used for a week before making the switch to Android, and pulled $625 from some schmuck in Bahrain who obviously had to have it, so if you walk into a BBY and let go of a current phone (read: NOT a now two year old Evo3D) and unload your phone for less than $200, most going for around a hundred bucks, let me know and I'll sell it for you for a 25% commission! haha

Yes, that's what I've been told--price-matching only for contract phones. Last year, Best Buy price matched Amazon Wireless and I paid one penny for my Sprint S2. As did my wife and mom.

Getting away from ATT locked bootloader

So what about:
1.) Preorder ATT note 3 for $299.
2.) don't open box, and sell it for $650-700 on ebay/craigslist
3.) buy TMO off contract with unlocked bootloader for $709+tax
profitt?
Will have paid $300 for a Note 3 that has LTE that has unlocked bootloader.

4) Pay ETF from ATT

I don't think Att will let you out of the store with an unopened box if you bought it with a contract extension. In my case, they opened the box in front of me, put my sim in it, activated it, made a call with the new phone, had me sign all the paperwork, then let me go. Anyone? You could however try selling it afterward though already opened.
Of course given what I've read about the range of experience found in their employees, if you asked enough times in enough stores, you could probably find someone who'd let you do it - even if it was against policy, for the simple reason that they didn't know it was forbidden.

No, you don't have to let them touch your device. I've bought numerous phones the last year or so and I never let them handle my phones. I've always opened the box there though and inspected the device for defects. Just so I don't complete the purchase and then find a defect later and have to use my one exchange.
Also, I'd never sell a device unless I had inspected it first.

I don't think he was planning on actually cancelling his service. It sounds to me like he wanted to sell the AT&T Note 3 with the locked down bootloader so he could buy the T-Mobile version (which is at least rumored to not have a locked down bootloader) and then use that T-Mobile version (need to get it carrier unlocked) on his AT&T line. He wouldn't be charged the ETF if he doesn't cancel his AT&T service.

I got iphone 5s, sold it and now waiting to get note3

How do you get tmo off contract ?
I mean , at this time there is no option to get the phone off contract

What I did for my wifes last phone is bought the phone with Amazon wireless (works for upgrade or new line). They sent me the phone in its box and I sold it on eBay as brand new. Worked perfectly.

Get the tmo note 3 from negri electronics. That's where I'm getting mine.

Just to clear it up cuz my head is spinning with random bits of info right now.
I am on AT&T and if I were to get the Tmobile version of the phone everything would be as if I had gotten the art version with he exception of the boot loader right?

Thats what most people believe now. But we have to wait till actually someone tries it out.

not leaving ATT, preorder arrives via FEDEX unopened, was hoping someone would confirm TMO LTE working on big orange. still unclear obviously
going to be tough not opening that box, whilst waiting for Mircury to validate TMO LTE on ATT

yea im in a jam too. i have so much best buy credit and whatnot i was going to be paying ~$200 for the phone in full (ATT) but after all this going on I'm trying to see if they will be getting the tmo version and then i can just run to a store unlock it and go from there. But if BB doesn't end up selling the tmo one then I would have to spend that extra $500 just to get around ATT's stupid locks =(

Buy from Negri. It is already going to be unlocked and it's cheaper.

like I said the problem is I am saving $500 cash by using BB reward zone stuff. technically if I were to buy it from Negri I would be spending more "cash" then if i were to buy from BB. I basically just don't have the funds atm If I go any other route.

I don't get what the problem is. Just pay full using your BB cash and sell it for about the same price on craigslist or ebay then use the money to buy TMO version

Yea if it comes to that I will do that but I hope I won't have to.
