http://item.ebay.com/160436949652
wonder how he got his hands on it, anyone have any ideas?

WOW you just way overpaid. You should have at least shopped around, they have been selling for 450-550 all day on ebay. Craiglist too. He got it from the Google I/O event.

Got it at the Google I/O most likely.
Congrats.

It's ok because i had actually pre-ordered it at best buy and $599.00 is retail without tax! So $675.00 shipped and bing.com rebate back is cheaper

if u buy at sprint its $450

and at radioshack its $499. Hope you enjoy your phone! hope it doesnt get lost or stolen in the mail.

can't do that, i'm a sprint advantage club member

LOL, I was watching that one. There's another one that ends in less that an hour and a half but I'm going to let that one slide by too.
I've finally decided to wait stoically like most of us here.

being that it comes with a months free unlimited service, he didnt really overpay by that much and he wont have to sign a new contract or renew his original one. not really that bad of a deal if u do the math..............................

Yes. Free unlimited tethering, calls, data, and messaging. Pretty much anything except international calls. The trial runs out June 20 according to the Sprint flier that came with it.

I pickedi t up today at 10AM! First impression when i opened the box was holy **** thats a big screen, so far i LOVE the phone its sleek the screen looks amazing and is SUPER fast absolutely no lag. Now i can have a phone that'll make people with iPhone's jealous!

For what he paid he definitely overpaid. Retail is $450, so he paid $225 to get it less than two weeks early. He could have gotten the hotspot for more than 7 months for the same amount, or put that towards two years of the extra $10/mo. Either way, he better be totally happy with his purchase.

I get mine this Friday. I see you have that Google I/O informational form in your pic. Is that included in the phone's packaging?
The reason i ask is because I asked my seller about that form and he said that he didn't have it. he said that it might be packaged with the phone itself. He never opened the phone's packaging. So I told him that I'd just find out when i receive it.

Well it depends on where he would have gotten the phone from. Sprint $450..you can say he probably overpaid, $500 RS....you can say he overpaid, BB...I don't think he overpaid. i think its a great deal if you think about it.
Free everything for a month, no contract....etc.
And plus I'm sure there will be big shortage of these phones when they release. I stopped at the bestbuy by my house earlier today and the Rep there told me that this is the biggest preorder they ever had. I'm not sure if he was just talking about this particular store or Bestbuy in general. Just like the Incredible and the iPad this will be backordered. And if you think paying $670 is too much ....wait until June 4th
I think if you really want the phone, you saved up for the phone or whatever if you got the money then go ahead and get it. Because getting one on the 4th is not guaranteed.

Not to reign on some peoples parades of cost, but depending on the store, they may not sell you a phone off contract. I Lou of holding out for new customers and upgrades. Happened to me when I wanted a pre had to hold out a month for when online orders came around

Looks like Costco will be selling the Xoom on Feb 24th and a little plus is that it will have a $35 mail in rebate to take care of the stupid 1 month data requirement...
Looks like I will be going to Costco on the 24th.. Great thing is Costco has a great return policy (90 days) so if price drops within that time period its definitely going back for price adjustment or just return and re buy...

Wow, I'll bet BestBuy will match the activation fee now. Let the price wars begin!
With the activation fee waved, the first month of service is manageable. Or perhaps it can be canceled within 3 days as others have speculated for a refund.

Doubtful as Best Buy cannot do anything with your bill. They might be willing to take 35 dollars off the price of the thing, but very doubtful

Is this true? If so I just jizzed in my pants. My family calls me a Costco Evangelist. I was all worried that I would have to return this tablet every 14 days at Best Buy until a wifi-only version came out.
With Costco I might keep it, or just return it once when the wifi-only version comes out. Costco is awesome, beyond their EPIC return window, they also have an almost unlimited return policy for things that stop working. I have returned things 12 months later with no problem.

Were you seriously going to return and repurchase a xoom every 14 days just so you can say you have the thing first?
I'm not sure that that's something you should openly admit to, just seems sad.

Sad, nah. Exploitive, yes. The problem is that I want a wifi-only version, but I need a tablet now. I have been needing one for a few months now, but was unhappy with all the options available. If they would do the wise thing and release the wifi-only version first or simultaneously, I wouldn't have to play games. Or if they didnt mark it up 250$

Heh, good point, my bad =)

Take this with a grain of salt but I spoke with one of the phone guys at costco on the 15th and he said they expected to have it for about $100 less than best buy and verizon just like they currently do on the galaxy tab. I tend to believe that considering marking a $500 item down to $400 is a lot bigger of a cut than knocking an $800 item down to $700 is.

I talked to my buddy at the costco (yea i work there myself). The email said they will get the live demo starting on the 22nd. It also said starting the 24th they would get the actually product. It didn't say the price though. You WILL be required to get a month of service. The rumor is about $100 less just like the samsung tab. If i get anymore info, i'll keep this updated. I'm also waiting to get it myself.

Now how about the Wifi version $100 less at $500!!! Oh, what joy that would bring!
I really want this soon, price is my only concern. They better announce the Wifi version next week and say it's coming in no more than 1-2 weeks, I've waited far too long...I can't stand it...

So in order to buy anything from Costco you have to be a member right?

win! LOL i only paid 299 and it was full retail! someone should inform him!!

I'm not surprised. Seen listings for phones worth <$300 mint going for $70-$150 with screens so fouled up, you would think they got married and tied it on the back of the car like it was a tin can. Being that big a device, I'd believe someone trying to sell a TF101 it for parts at $400.

It's not someone TRYING to sell at that price. That's the price it's at after 60 bids.
I think we can chalk that up as a win for the seller.

yep exactly. and description isn't confusing at all. I don't understand it. Maybe someone hit up a big offer and the seller asked someone to get the price higher.

The "highest" bidder as of now has a (1) rating.
So yeah could be a "New" account just to bump price up.
soccerdude288 should sell his on Ebay too.

Is not so funny for me. Did you ever check prices in Europe? I bought my TF for 700$ before 6 months now is around 600$. Ok the price for as-is for US is high but as you can see shipping is worldwide

It may not be that, either. I tried selling several of my used phones (including an iPhone 4) over the past year or so. Every time I tried to post a decently priced (~$150-200 USD for a phone that was selling for $300 used typically) some random 'new' account would either buy the phone out or balloon the bid up to some ungodly amount. Sure enough, payment would never be received, eBay would insist I give them their cut (even though they could clearly see I had never been paid, through PayPal or any other means), and my phones never sold. After 10 months of fighting this nonsense, and eBay still insisting I owed them seller fees for successfully sold items, I gave up completely on that rotten site. It's chock full of nonsense these days.

Ain't that the truth. I put a CULV machine up for sale at what I thought was a reasonable $50 starting bid. Within an hour I got an email from someone who told me (not asked, mind you) to close the listing, ship him the laptop and he would send me the $50. I declined, and he sent me another email telling me my laptop would never sell on eBay.
Shortly after that, two new accounts started a bidding war and took the price up to $1000. The price sat there until the auction ended 6 days later. Of course, no sale. I tried to work with eBay, but all they agreed to was not charging me to relist the laptop. They also claimed to close the two accounts, but a month after this you could still find the accounts on the site.
Moral: eBay has become a sales sewer. Thugs are running the place, and for every interesting and reasonably priced product you can find, there are 500 crap knockoffs waiting to take your money.

Force people to look elsewhere to buy the same item for less. For example, to their auctions.

Or as retaliation. That emailer was right-- the laptop didn't sell.
Flip side, some could do it if their auction isn't making what they'd like it to make.

The Sprint Headache Begins...

So before this point I have NEVER had a problem with sprint.
Like a normal EVO fanboy I was dying just to pre order my EVO LTE. May 7th came around and i quickly went to sprint.com to pre order. *click, click, *click*
My HTC EVO 4G LTE was pre ordered! Wait, the total is $245.74
A few hours passed and I kept seeing how this site "wirefly" was selling the EVO LTE for 150 bucks with no sales tax and free shipping! I was kinda eh about it because i never heard of the site.
A few more hours passed and saw that the price on wirefly dropped to 119.99!! what a deal! if i would to cancel my order with sprint id saved over 100 bucks!
I quickly call sprint and have been calling sprint. EVERY agent i talk to they tell me i CAN NOT cancel my pre order, the only way i can cancel it is when its about to ship and i have to "refuse" the shipment.
I have called them over 10 times now with each time having a different agent every time, still no luck with this.
Has anyone had any luck with canceling the pre order from sprint??? If so, what was your trick?? I even pulled the "I have been a loyal customer for sprint for over 7 years now"

Sprint customer service reps don't even work for sprint. I have had just about lost my mind until a tech at a corporate store told me they are in a call center some where and have no idea about the phones,and can't do anything that their contract won't allow. Your best bet is live chat on the web site. Once the pre order is made they pay the manufacture ahead of time so you really can't cancel your order. If you refuse your order it will take a looooooonnnnnggggggg time to get your money back.
You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.....Wayne Gretzky....

i was thinking of trying the 100% satisfaction guarantee method.. its a long shot but they guarantee if i dont like i can return it

I had the same problem with a phone I ordered, then decided I didnt want from an actual Sprint store...I had to wait for it to come in and refuse it, it was a headache, but only because I had to wait a few days for everything to play out.
Not sure about wirefly, but usually when you order from sprint online, the activation fee is waived...(could save you some bux!)

$119.99? I pre-ordered yesterday for $149.99 from Wirefly. I think they have a pre-order price match guarantee though so I might have to call them.
Also, Sprint has to charge sales tax because they have brick and mortar stores in your state. They also add in the ridiculously high sprint activation fee that you will still have to pay for separately if you order from Wirefly. Still, you save $50 and some sales tax if you pick it up from Wirefly.
If I were you, I would order from Wirefly now if you're that antsy about it. Refusing the package is perfectly acceptable. Worst case, you miss the shipment, but you bring the un-opened box to UPS, USPS, FEDEX or whichever company shipped it, and they shouldn't have a problem letting you refuse it.

I hate to quote myself, but few people have had luck. So I tried again today.
Rep transferred me to escalations and they cancelled my pre-order hooray.
This after I had called another number yesterday, only to be told i had to wait for delivery. Guess that was a lazy lie on the reps part.
Only difference between yesterday today, that I could possibly think of was. When rep asked for reason for cancellation, I said "found lower price" yesterday. Today I said "I just changed my mind". I doubt this made a difference, but doesn't hurt to say it. Personally, I think it was the different number I called or the rep escalating me to escalations.
I already received the cancellation confirmation email.
Now the only downside is the rep said, it will take worst case 10 days (could be less) for the upgrade to be reset back to your account. I am gonna be trying to get this wirefly deal in the next few days. Hopefully, it doesn't go away.

First link is just their general site price of 150. Second link is Family and Friends for 120.
So updating my previous statement, I checked my upgrade status on wirefly. I was eligible, so much for ten day wait. More like ten minutes.
I just placed my order on wirefly for 120. Lets wait and see what happens.

Couldn't you call the credit card company and cancel the payment. Isnt Pre orders usually charged around the time its shipped?

I assume going through wirefly for an upgrade phone won't affect any current discount on your account? I got my 3D last year through studentrate and have been getting 23% off from that.

ALL CARRIERS!!! If you purchased your Galaxy S3 ftom Best Buy go get your $$$

So bestbuy price matches right? Well radio shack has the S3 for $149.00 online as part of a extra $50 off any new phone. So as long as that offer is good for retail stores(dont see online only anyware so I assume so) Anyone who bought from bestbuy is entitled to $50 back from their 30 day price match guarantee.
If you want to see just goto Radioshacks site it's on the main page and if you click into a S3 it will say $149.99
Edit: I can now confirm personally that it works... 2 phones $175 back on price match #winning!

Just hit up my local Best Buy and got $108 and some change back from my purchase of 2 GSIIIs. Thanks again for the tip!

I got my S3 for 149.99$ because i bought the Evo 4g LTE and then exchanged phones, so the giftcard was applied to my evo's 199$ price... could i go back and have them price match to save another 50$?

Well I had some little snooty B**** not price match because none of the Radio Shacks around here have the actual phone in stock. I'm going to be calling them daily and as soon as I find one in stock, I'm running back to BB and hopefully getting the price match.
I may also try another BB or two before then, just in case they are more easy to work with.

My best buy said it's only the price for new customers and because I as an upgrade they couldn't honor the price

I would try a different one, the webpage I printed out even says with Contract extension which is how most of us upgraded.

BestBuy in Westbury NY just issued me my refund. As i walked in I saw the MGR of the mobile department on the phone with a customers phone. He gave it back to them and customer walked out. I asked him about the radio shack promo and he said he was just on the phone with the radio shack down the block and that the promo was only for new subscribers. After i showed him the print out from the net that clearly states new line/contract or contract extention, he went on the web himself, verified and issued my refund of $54.32.
If you were that guy in the hat and a cast on your hand that left BB in Westbury, go back and claim your refund.
