Can't find nook anywhere!! - Nook Color General

I went to and called 10 different stores yesterday, and couldn't find Nook in the NE Atlanta area :-(. Only one I found was from someone trying to sell one a month old for 267.00 but its was raining and he didn't want to meet because of weather =(. Really can't wait til valentines day. Oh yeah even Amazon has them @ 281 + shipping, lol did xda drive up demand?

The recall turned out to be a rumor. They're just moving inventory around.
I live near the Mall of Georgia and the BN there had them in stock last time I checked a week or so ago.

Yes, after christmas they dropped the sony readers and started carrying the nook. That is where i bought mine.

our walmarts here dont carry nooks. our B&N has a whole cabinet full of them though

Yeah, my local BNs seem to have enough to go around. When I checked about a week ago, they said "we have plenty!", and I bought one from them

The WalMart near me in Alpharetta has had them before Christmas. My wife said that a few weeks ago they stopped having them. Probably B&N prioritizing selling through their own stores first.

The one at the forum on peachtree parkway (peachtree corners) had them last week.
You could call and check.
It was one that was never updated. 1.0.0 out of the box.

Hello All,
I can also confirm I have my tablet from game stop!!!
Called me earlier, had in store waiting for me.
I'm in Somerville NJ
Checked my messages at home and got a call from gamestop that my nexus 7 is ready for pick up. Headed there now to pick it up!!!
Man these stores are going to get into serious trouble for selling these, and now that they are actually being sold at retail, we still arent getting any word from google about our play store pre-orders, more and more people are getting them at their local retail stores now and no other info what so ever, really a shame as I sold my other tablet early because I expected to get this based on what they had said about availability and you would figure that pre-orders from their site would be showing up on people's doorsteps now if others are actually buying them from places like Gamestop. Of course Gamestop isnt supposed to be selling these, so thats probably why, you are lucky you got it because you werent supposed to

Just bought mine from GameStop. I didn't pre-order.
The only devices they had there were the ones that had gotten pre-ordered, and the guy working there was the only one to pre-order it. So he sold me his reserved one. Said he would wait a little longer and take his girlfriend out to dinner or something.
Made my week.
Reserved it yesterday. Turns out I don't get it for another week or so since they don't have any except for pre orders (and I was the only one).

I won't list the city because we don't have a lot of Gamestops in the state and I don't want ours getting in trouble, but got the text around 9:20AM and a phone call at 10:30 (while on the phone with one store rep who said they couldn't sell it...) saying it was ready for pick up. Went and got it, was told they got an email this morning to "sell them if you got them"...and we were "supposed" to be the August 7th wave...but still got it today...and the price rang up as $99,999.00 originally, took a LOT of finaggling on the clerk's part to get the price down to the $249.99...then the poor kid gave me CASH BACK (the ENTIRE nexus7 was paid for by the trade in of a butt load of "older" games and an ipad 1st gen 16gb, which the nexus was replacing) for my store credit, and I did the math, they didn't pull my extra 20% that they were supposed to...bonus of $20 for me today!
Samclub is selling them also. I'm in line buying it right now.

Seen the "Gamestop ok to release Nexus 7" article this morning. I called mine and they said since I pre-ordered on the last day I would get it tomorrow or Monday. Then my wife got a text saying I could go pick it up today. Don't know who to believe, the manager or the text!
I just talked to a Gamestop rep in Slidell La. Gamestop stores in Covington, picyune and Mandeville are in stock. No stores on the south shore have them yet but she did say they're expecting their shipment later. I guess around 3 pm.

Just out of curiosity - Who out of us pre-ordered from Google Play and ended up purchasing elsewhere?
I pre ordered on the 27th but ran out a couple hours ago and grabbed the last one that Abt Electronics had in stock. Gonna either return this one or sell it to my friend when my other one gets here. This thing is pretty badass.

Yep. I called in before I got there and they had 12 left. By the time I got there they were down to 7. They sold out of those 7 from online orders during the 3 minutes I was playing with the floor model. I made a small stink with the manager and made him sell me one of the 7.

I called Google today about this. I was told the usual story about how it was too late to cancel, but was advised to simply refuse delivery. I'm under the impression that as long as you make sure the UPS driver is not allowed to leave the package at your location, you will be refunded in full. If you cannot properly refuse delivery, bringing it to a UPS facility within 5 business days (with the box unaltered) should also net a full refund.
The bottom line being: don't open the package. don't wait too long to return it if you couldn't refuse delivery.
I bought one from my local sam's club.. I had pre-ordered one from google on July 3rd.. but nothing seems to be moving.
If/when it comes, I'll offer it to my dad if he likes it. If not, I'll either sell it or send it back to google.

Me too. Staples. Followed the stock online and it is very accurate. When you see "not sold in this store", Just means they are out of stock. Keep checking and the same stores will change to "in stock." My store changed late saturday nite and showed in stock Sunday, I bought on Monday, they still had one for a guy on the phone while I was there, and Monday nite it changed to "not sold in this store."
Staples. Like the person above said, you can check in-store stock online. My local store had TWO 16GB ones in stock on Sunday when I checked, so I left immediately and got one
Staples is great. They get the nex7 in everyday on ups shipments. Seems like the average is 1-4 per store. Call around 10-11 and see if they have one.

Got mine at the MacMall in Torrance, CA. Seems the store there and Huntington Beach have a substantial supply (Huntington had 60 last I checked). In store only, 16gb.
I initially tried the Staples route but there was only one store in Southern California that sold it (Pasadena). Must've annoyed the hell out of them calling everyday. They seem pretty clueless as to when they were expecting shipments.

Walmart in Stock-but not carrying it?

As i am looking online for a 16 gb n7, i found a walmart that is says in stock online. The interesting part is that when i called the store, they said that they are not carrying that product. Should i still try to go pick it up or not. I am really confused right now.

Funny thing about Wal-Mart, they will take back anything, no questions asked, within a year.
Funny story about the funny thing above, Okla. State Univ. recruited a bunch of European women to play on their women's soccer team a few years ago. They all went to Wal-Mart and bought everything that they needed to furnish an entire apartment. When the season and semester was over, the returned everything down to the last spatula, for cash, and flew home.
I hate Wal-Mart with a white-hot passion, but when you need something at 3am, being able to go buy it at the near by Super Center is... grudgingly... pretty cool.
Wal-Mart is about the easiest place ever to return stuff. I wouldn't hesitate at all to buying one from there.

Perfect Nexus 7 Finally!!!!
I just bought mine from walmart When I went in they didn't have any out for sale but the website said they had them in stock so I asked the sales guy and he said they had them in the back. After buying one from google play and having severe light bleed it was nice to finally see what a perfect nexus 7 looks like. It looks great no light bleed, no dead pixels, no bad wifi and touch is responsive and colors don't look washed out, feels solid. I also got their 2 year protection for $20.00 it covers anything. So anyone with doubts about walmart might wanna give them a try.

NEEDED: Intel courtesy of someone who works for Wal-Mart.
The inventory information on the Wal-Mart.com that is accessible to the public runs two weeks behind. If you check today for Wal-Mart No.550756186 (the 16gb Nexus 7) it gives you store inventory as of 7/15/2012 (two weeks ago). Searching it for the dozen stores in/near 74105 (Tulsa, OK) shows that all 12 normally carry it, but are out of stock as of 7/15/2012. Well, no****, Sherlock. No Wal-Mart in America had any on 7/15, so this really just tells me that the stores should have it or get some soon. Based on reports in this thread that people are finding them in stock at their local Wal-Mart stores, I went to one here and called five others. None reported having any, but I'm not sure that they made much of an effort to search.
Surely someone who actually worked for Wal-Mart could access inventory info that's much closer to real time (like 24hrs or less). It sure would be nice if someone would tell us what to expect and which Wal-Mart's should have them.
For me, the cost of shipping is typically about the same as sales tax ($16 on the $200 model; $20 on the $250). All things considered, I'd prefer to buy from a local Wal-Mart, have the benefit of no questions asked one year returns and be able to buy a $20 covers nearly everything two year extended warranty. For me, this is preferable to $25 in Google Play credit.
Someone here woks for Wal-Mart, probably. C'mon, help a brother out.

I just ordered mine on the Walmart.com site and it was ready within a few hours. When I went in to pick it up, they said they still had about 12 more in the back. So it seems there may be some truth behind the Walmart Availability. Although, it wasn't displayed in the electronics department yet. Good Luck!

Chromecast at Best Buy

I lucked out, my local Best Buy had a few Chromecasts in stock, and I was able to get one. I had to ask at the register though, as they had them stashed away in the back.
Also, my receipt did have the promo code for the three months of free Netflix streaming.
Watching a stream of the Super Series '76, Russian Red Army versus the Philadelphia Flyers on my television through the Chromecast right now. It's pretty nifty.
Now once I get the one I ordered from the Google Play Store, I'll have one for the television in the basement too!
My local best buy said they won't be getting them for 3 weeks! I'm wondering if I asked the wrong person..

I know the BB i went to had some (but sold out by the time I got there). First two guys I asked didn't know what it was, next guy said that they won't carry it till next week
I got mines today!. I called the bestbuy by my job and the girl told me that they had 8 in stock but to get there fast...she wasn't kidding I went in and there was a buy behind me buying one to. I called about a hour later and they sold out! I tried it out at work and it's great! When I got home I set it up again and netflix really does stream in HD very very clear. Now that the sdk is released I can't wait to see what kind of support we will see for it I'm in love with it this is really the future of TV.:good:
I talked to someone at the local store and they said they would be getting there's tomorrow. Hopefully they will have them when they open.

Code still worked for Netflix also
Also got mine from my local Best Buy... They only had 7,and they weren't on the sales floor. The guy didn't even know what I was talking about, but I asked him to check the system and he found them in the back. One other person was there for them, and he bought 3.

Yup, popped over to my BB this evening around 9 pm, and when I got there (back in the laptop/iPad area) I noticed one of the Geek Squad guys was on stocking duty...and one thing he was stocking on the peg rack was about 10 of the Chromecasts (peg didn't even have a tag on it yet). Once I waited for him to finish, I went over a picked up 2 of them. Though I did notice that while I waited for him to stock the shelf about 2 different BB employees grabbed one each, presumably to pay for them at the end of the night.
Interesting this is, before I headed over there, I saw online that that store (plus maybe one other that was several miles away) had them in stock for store pickup...but after I got home around 10pm, I looked online again and they only listed "Ship to Store - 3-5 days"...now unless the rest were snatched up by employees during the last 45 minutes of business hours, I can't imagine that customers bought them up, but who knows. Anyways I'm considering myself lucky to have gotten hooked up!!
By the way, is there a dedicated XDA forum branch for the Chromecast development or other discussion, other than this area? I'm assuming that there at least will be since the SDK is being released and many cool things should be on the horizon.
as a Best Buy employee, I'm proud to say, as soon as it came off our truck last night, I begged my manager to let me buy it before we closed. but in all fairness, just call your local store in the morning and see if they have any in yet. most stores only received 10 initially, but i know my store is getting another 35 in the next day or two.
just call and ask, if they have it, go buy it asap

Hey thanks for chiming in here. I guess your experience goes to further support my observation at my local BB at around 8:45 pm local time this evening. Again as I said, it appeared that they were only then unpacking/unboxing these items and setting them up on store shelves. In the case of my store, they put it on an unlabeled peg tucked away on the same tiny wall as other miscellaneous USB dongles, almost like they didn't have a proper home for it (and in that case, good luck to anyone who is hoping to locate it in the store without first asking a BB employee to look it up!). At any rate, it appears that at least anyone with any tech savvy (i.e. BB employees and XDA members, lol) are all over these things, so I second reloaded's suggestion - unless you've already placed an online order somewhere, forget the online vendors and try hitting up your local Best Buys tomorrow AM, and then in the coming days. That is undoubtedly going to be your absolute best bet.
Was able to snag 2 at my local best buy. 1 for me, and another to see if I can flip for more money on eBay if they are as hard to come by as the nexus 4 launch. Here's to hoping !
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Wow....I just checked also. At 7:45 I called the only BB online close to me that still had them available. The girl checking told me the truck arrived not to long ago with 16 in the shipment. When I got mine (as stated earlier) at 8pm, they still had most left..Checking on the website again, they are ship to store now..
Jesus these things are like hotcakes lol...They are selling on Ebay for a pretty penny too!!
First Best Buy I went to this morning swore up and down there was no way to get them until next week. After asking another employee to check the SKU(9071056) and told me they did not have any in stock but the store about 10 min away still had all 10.
Ran over to the other store.. just as others have already said.. it was in the laptop section. They were still in a box on the counter. Netflix code was printed on the receipt.
Mine only had 3 when I got there (they were in a box by the online pick up guys) I got one and while I was chatting with the sales guy about it (he had a ton of questions) some geek squad came by and swooped up the other 2 to put on reserve for an online order. I was close to not getting mine too...

I went to the 24 hour union square bestbuy the moment I saw you all saying bestbuy had it. I have mine backordered on Amazon so my patience was thin. The guys never hear or saw it before and had to hunt it down for a friend and I. I picked up 3 (my room, living room, girlfriend) and my cruel friend picked up the remaining 7 (wonder why). The workers got hyped by what we told them and said they guess they would pick one up at the next shipment and then a customer walked up and saw then said wow you cleaned house.
Going to try to find one of these today. Going to call ahead first when they open at 10am, hopefully they'll know what I'm talking about. lol.
Bought mine from Best Buy yesterday. Wasn't even on the shelf yet and heard I was the second person to buy one. Got the netflix offer too. I'm loving it.
