Anyone bought G-note from ebay?

I have yet to see someone claim to have bought e-note from ebay? I see prices as low as $670 dollars (US) including shipping yet no one has reported to have bought one from them. what is the risk involved that people are still paying $740 from other places and no one seems to be taking advantage of new g-notes from ebay at cheaper prices?

I think its fear + ignorance which stops more people getting them from ebay. These things are made pretty close to Hong Kong, so its not suprising how cheap they are buying them from there through ebay. ebay used to be fairly shady too, and I think a lot of people still hold the fear of splashing $700 into a site which they may feel unsure about. However, as many of us know these days, ebay + paypal combined is an insanely safe shopping source. Not only is your sale fully ensured, but the amount of turnover most of these stores do, and the ability to access other shopper's comments does make it a really valuable source.
I'll be getting my note from ebay sometime next week (when the pay comes through), but have previously bought my SGS 1, and asus transformer from there, with NO problems, extremely quick shipping, and hundreds of dollars saved. I always recomend it

thanks for the vote of confidence. I am also thinking about getting my g-note next week through ebay.

Just read through the sellers past feedback. You should quickly see if the seller is reliable. Also read carefully through the description to see if it is new/used/damaged or if the title is wrong and they they are selling a 600$ notebook with a photo of a galaxy on it rather than a phone.
I got mine from eBay.

I bought mine from Ebay I paid 720 for it including shipping that was free. That's 2 Weeks ago prices were much higher.
It was a reputable seller and didn't have any issue the phone is running great

I went through 3 SGN's so far.. One from Amazon.de, One from Ebay.de and one from my Country which was the most expensive one but was worth the local warranty reassurance since I'm keeping this one. Received it today.
The second one from Ebay was a German model, no problems, sold it like I did with the first one from Amazon after I played around abit with it.
Anyway ALWAYS read the FEEDBACK! Even if it's a TOP Rated it means NOTHING! It might be a hacked account or a bad TopRated. Better safe than sorry.
Example: Someone is selling some SGN's in a very attractive price. Check the feedback if another person bought and received a Note from the Seller already. If the listing just came up then check it's feedback for some expensive stuff and not 2-3euros worth of items.
If the Seller has low feedback(<30-50) but it's 100% positive and every buyer is happy with him, then sent him a message first and see. He might be just a regular guy selling a Note.
Yes Ebay and Paypal did help me a couple times and they were very helpful, but Scammers will always be around.

Got mine on ebay for $760 about 3 weeks ago when they first came out. It arrived in a few days without any problem. It turn out to be a Polish model with a with a Polish provider branding.
Just rooted & loaded a custom ROM & now all OK.
I love this phone. Absolutely awesome screen.

Got mine from a Hong Kong ebayer with no problem.

Where to buy?!?!

Okay...I've been drooling over this phone for the past few weeks. I'm almost ready to pull the trigger...but I'm looking for the least expensive but most reputable online dealer to make my purchase. I'm in the USA so it would have to be imported.
Suggestions? Experiences? Warranty issues? I'm all ears. Let me know what your experience has been with the different online retailers.
Cheers!

Good Point! eBay is probably the one place I haven't looked! Thanks man!

Amazon has a few sellers offering them for around 650. they're also fulfillment so you get free 2 day shipping.

I'm also getting ready to pull the trigger.
If you're just looking for a cheap price, eBay has Australian Notes on sale, which I think is the cheapest of them all due to currency fluctuations.
Anybody know of a seller that does international shipping that has a REALLY lenient return policy? I tend to have horrible luck with displays and don't want to get stuck with one with defects (I once had to return five LCD monitors in a row because each one had more than two dead/stuck pixels! Also, my current Cellphone, a Streak, has an always-on stuck red pixel).
Given the fact that AMOLED screens slowly develop defects, I would really like to find a seller that offers 14+ day return policy with little or no expense on my part, in case I end up making multiple returns.

I found this in another thread but Integrontech has them for $650 also. Here's the link: http://www.integrontech.com/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-N7000-16GB-Unlocked-Black-p/sam-n7000.htm
I've never used them...so I'm not sure how reputable they are.
I did buy my i9100 from expansys USA and it was perfect! Fast shipping. Never had any trouble with the hardware...so I never dealt with the warranty part. But my experience with them was very good.

Might pay to be a little more patient, I'm thinkin' there will be at least another 50 drop post Christmas.
Just a thought and I could be wrong so...
Be nice to use that extra savings towards accessories though IMHO
When I first started lookin' I couldn't find one below 730.00 so if I can get one for six I can that custom leather case I want and break even there.

I sure hope my ATT plan doesn't have issues like everyone else is reporting (forcing a tablet plan, forcing tiered data, etc).

Hello! Link please

I've got friends who would buy this for me in either India or Australia.
Where would I have either one of them shop in their respective countries to get me one? Is it worth it, plus shipping, or should I just drop $650 on Ebay? I mean, from what I saw the exchange rate, 35,000 Indian Rupees (MSRP) is $660.

what the hell is blue version ?
I see amazon is listed as an official vendor which makes me curious.
+ there is no warranty on international phones imported to U.S. because the official U.S. versions are the ones sold by the damn carriers via at&t , verizon etc.

There once was a note...

Yeah, I saw that, but the arrival date was in 2012.
Newegg had free 2-day shipping (shoprunner free year trial) and I had a $20 coupon from google.
So, $679 and I'll have it Monday. Plus there is a free charger thingy thrown in, so that's a plus.
I just really hope my unlimited data isn't f-d around with after putting my sim in...

Doesn't the GT prefix indicate the IMEI will be considered a tablet? Some listings omit the GT prefix...I think these are the Polish/Netherland version that doesn't flag ATT as a tablet...

Hmmm...it appears the white one is going for $800 still, while the black(ish) one is $650ish. I'm debating on importing 5 or 6 of these to see if I can pay for mine.
Thoughts?

[Q] Too good to be true?

This simply must be a scam of some sort, right? Who could be selling touchpads on Ebay for $40 with free shipping?
Ebay item 280795551667
Sorry, too newbie to be allowed to post a link...

Yeah and for a 32GB model as well.
/itm/New-TouchPad-32GB-Wi-Fi-9-7in-Glossy-Black-/280795551667?pt=Apparel_Merchandise&vxp=mtr&hash=item4160b817b3

We'll see, I just bought 2. Covered under the Buyer protection and I can afford to lose $80 if it's a scam. I've bought from this buyer a few times and never had a problem. Thanks for the lead maybe?!?

I hope it is legit...you've actually bought from this character before, lloydcabraham? Electronics?

I ordered one, I've been scammed before on eBay, but since it has buyer protection if its a scam we will get full refund. Since about 130 people have bought so far we won't have too much trouble reporting the scam, if it comes to that. Hopefully it's not a scam.

Looks like 499 of them were sold over the course of a day or so...let's see if anyone actually gets one delivered...fingers crossed

They are coming from China I will be very surprised if you got the touchpad rather then some KIRF from china.

I would be surprised to even get a KIRF. I figured it was a "take the money and run" kind of things. Still, even if it is a KIRF, Ebay and Paypal would seem to offer some protection to the buyer...I hope...

Since the item description states that the brand is HP, then we would be protected by eBay and Paypal. But we would probably have to pay return shipping.

What if the buyer receives an empty box? How is paypal/ebay going to protect you from that? The seller obviously shipped something, they can say that the buyer is lying and that the product was in the box.

Not 500 of them. Plus you video tapenit and throw that theory out the window. Not to mention the shipping weight would be off. I would buy one and video tape the opening of the box.

I hope Leo is right...it does make sense that any seller could scam a buyer or two by sending the old "empty box"- but 499 empty boxes is difficult for Ebay and Paypal to ignore...
Or, perhaps, HP Touchpads will arrive...another Festivus miracle!

Scam
I'm afraid you all got scammed here, but probably Paypal will return your money. It's not that this seller is a fraud, but probably his account has been hacked. Maybe you all are very lucky, but normally nothing branded comes cheaper from China.
I live in China and recently bought my TP on the Chinese Ebay clone Taobao.com, I payed 250 USD for the 16G version..
Funny thing is it was originally send from Shanghai (I can see that on the package, HP Export zone Shanghai, not sure where it was produced in China) to a buyer in Memphis USA, which bought it for 99 USD I guess. From Memphis it was probably sold through Ebay to some guy in Shanghai, possibly for 200 USD or less. This guy sold it to me on Taobao for 250 USD, which is still a very decent price if I compare to other tablets on the market. What a world..

i received a tracking number the first day, but it hasnt been updated. Also the seller account has been closed. I will wait a couple of day to see if theres any activity on the tracking, then i will put up a claim with paypal.

Solved
So, Ebay gave me my money back asap; but today I received a little package that contained a chinese trinket (rather than 3 tablet computers). Three cheers to Ebay for getting it right immediately...

Try it in both upper & lower case. If that doesn't work I would tweet or email them. They are in my experience really wanting to go the extra mile. The code I received in an email from them this morning before I updated this so it is official & should work. N.B They seem to respond quicker to tweets. Their twitter name is @seidioseidio
Here is a grab of the email

Re: Seidio 15% off with code until 21st March 2013
With the cheapest shipping option being a very expensive $8+, it's $2 cheaper to buy it with Amazon Prime without the coupon. But thanks for posting it. "spring2013" worked fine for me.

So worth it
Even without the discount, this is the best case I've tried so far. The built in stand is great for movie viewing, article reading, etc. I am sure i will never get a different case again!! I hope this helped anyone who may be on the fence about getting one of these.

I've updated the OP to reflect the new discount code rather than starting a new thread.

too bad their shipping prices to asia cost as much as the case itself, else i would have ordered one long ago...

For us foreigners, Amazon (US site not UK) can be cheaper. I just checked for you & the cheapest postage for you to Singapore is $15.61 & the case is $39.65 making it $55.26 in Total. So it works out cheaper than Seidio. I don't know if that helps you at all. I bought mine from the US Amazon site for this reason.

Buying in the UK

Hi all
I'm ready to bite the bullet and buy this watch.. What's the cheapest website it can be bought from in the UK? Preferably a site that someone has used and can recommend.
Thanks all
Chris

Got mine delivered today from mobilefun.co.uk the going rate is 199 and the delivery got muddled up with the click and collect service. Still i had that refunded, and they were apologetic so overall I'm happy. I have seen the same price starting to appear on other sites too.

They thought the click to collect was a home address, therefore needed verification. This delayed the order process. Was all resolved in the end.

Got mine from mobilefun too. Seems fine. Go for it

got mine during the black friday sales on amazon.fr for £161.
unfortunately, after receiving it, I noticed it has a cluster of dead pixels, so I asked for a replacement, which is arriving today.

Hi,
I am looking at buying this from Amazon.fr even though it is on order with Expansys, which I can cancel.
Are there any difficulties in buying this watch from France? Will the packaging, adapters and system updates differ to that in the UK?
Thanks,
Jason

Sector adapter diffrent in France. 2 round pin.

I went to Handtec.co.uk used them before for phones, paid 4.99 next day DPD, they cost around £10 more than cheapest 199 deals but their service is top notch. Got mine a few days ago and all I can say is you will love it.
Always on mode, I don't see the burn in some mention in other threads...
I tend to use black background faces, with bright marks & hands.
Watch looks amazing,
strap is crap, ordered a replacement from Ebay, make sure if you get a new strap it's 22mm wide & 3.0mm - 3.5mm thick at the watch head.

there are no difficulties with Amazon.fr. Have Prime myself and got the watch in about 3 days. The watch and accessories are the same except for the wall adapter, which is European (2 pin).
You can use any UK wall adapter however.

Just got mine from Mobile Fun - ordered Sun late night and got it this morning. Well impressed with the speed!
They're also on Quidco so you can get some cashback, and if you check Hot UK Deals, there's a voucher for free royal mail postage which while you can't actually use royal mail (have to pay for courier delivery due to the value), you at least get a couple of quid knocked off delivery
