I actually did this earlier, they send a B&N Gift Card code. It works great.

Does this work for coffee shop purchases as well? hmmmmmm..

I wasn't able to log in to my account "Due to extremely high volume" but I was still able to buy one. Thanks!

I took full advantage of this and used it to score me a cheaper nc and a case to go with it.

Does anyone know if you can use it to buy Nook books?

I am pretty sure it does not work on digital content. Too bad.

Does anyone know if you can stack these? I know it says you can only buy one per person, but if I buy one and my wife buys one, can we use them at the same time for the same purchase? I read through the terms but I couldn't find anything about it.

According to the groupon fine print it does work for ebooks...which is exactly why I purchased it.

Here is a list of the terms:
http://www.groupon.com/pages/barnes-and-noble-terms
The only thing I see prohibited on digital purchases:
BN Groupons may be used to purchase single issues of eNewspapers and eMagazines; however, they cannot be used for subscriptions to eNewspapers or eMagazines.

I can vouch for it. The link listed on the Groupon takes you to login to your B&N account. Under nook books is a link to manage gift cards. You add the gift card code to your eBook account and it gets charged before your credit card. Just no subscriptions as noted.
Thanks and Enjoy!

About this. I got it to stack by ordering online and picked the option to pay by phone. Then waited for second confirm email, called it in from there and added all "gift card" numbers by hand. Nook color plus case for half off

How did you buy more than one coupon?

Same here. Got the nook color for $125. They also had a $30 case that was 30% off with nook color purchase so the case was $11 after groupon. $136 + tax for both. I love the internet.

Groupon does different deals for different areas. Some are like this one, although its advertised in a specific city, are ok to use any where, since they work on line (BN.com) or in any b&n store. so just buy it from that link. below im posting a referral link, ill get a few bucks if you click it and buy it through there. happy purchasing. i got mine the other day, i think ill be buying a case, or a screen protector, or both if i can convince my girlfriend to order one.
http://www.groupon.com/r/uu20753114
Hmm In testing that link, it might not bring you right to the groupon. so heres the manual steps. select the region, then look at the right hand column. at the bottom you should see "Multiple Locations: $10 for $20 Worth of Toys and Games, Books and More at Barnes & Noble"
thats what your looking for.

where are the deals now?

Hi guys. Missed the Barnes and Nobel deal so now I am looking around for the best deals, so I thought I would stop here and ask. I need one for my daughter for Christmas. Either a color nook or nook tablet. Looking to root it as well through the sd card because I want to keep the stock B&N software for my daughter to buy and read books. Any input is welcome as to where I can get either one for a great deal and which one to get. Thanks!

I bought 2 refurbished for the kids for $119 each from here last week. It changed to $129 now. I don't know if the price fluctuates or not.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NOOK-Color-...719205?pt=US_Tablets&hash=item45feb06fa5#rwid
It appears to be B&N's own ebay site.
Item location: B&N Warehouse, United States
I can't be sure what the warranty is but it should be 1 year like the one from their site.

Yes, that auction ended, then went from $129 to $149 and that ended and I cant find another auction listed under the Barnes and Nobel store anymore.......
For the price comparison between the two, I am wondering if I would be better to go with the tablet? I am sure that it will be rooted very soon! looking for input!

Locked boot loader makes it basicly SOL for custom roms.
Sent from my NookColor using Tapatalk

B&N's own site still has the $149 refurb deal here. Not as good as $119, but at least its still available

So what would you guys get? If they get past the bootloader problem, which I am sure they will, the only other advantage to the tablet besides the speed is the built in "mic" which later on could be used to talk while using the keyboard similar to the way a cell phone works? Just trying to weigh my options!

Honestly, I would go ahead and get the nook color (not tablet). And think about putting a rom on the emmc (internal drive). That way she can read books from Barnes and Noble on the nook app, as well as books on the kindle app, Sony reader app and Google books. I also check out books from my local library.
I guess you can also do this running the rom from the SD card, but having done it both ways myself, I would go for putting the rom on the nook itself. Rom runs much better.
Apps are much cheaper from the Google market than from the B&N market.
I don't know how much function a mic will give, but I text from my nook using Google voice.
Check out Craigslist as another option. My sister just got a great deal on a nook with leather cover that was barely touched. Still had the box, etc.

$150 now

While this ain't exactly Nook Color related, if you aim for a cheap tablet and don't care about the 1024x600 Resolution the Nooks have...
Go for a Aino Novo 7, it's 100$ and overall might be the better choice for your daughter as it packs a whole bunch more than the Nook.
Its biggest downside being tough to find protective covers and the 800x480 resolution.

B&N selling refurb Nook Color 8gb on Ebay for $129

"Certified Pre-Owned" Nook Color $135.00 USD from Barnes & Noble

you're right, sorry about that, I was tired

No problem at all buddy.

It is a nice deal, particularly with the bundle offer. However, I got mine brand new for ~$120 after coupon and rebate.

got mine two days ago. they had a deal where you add a Nook simple touch for $20. got both for $150. Can't decide which one I want to keep....

lol. They are both already rooted (w/in about 3 hours of opening the boxes). Still, I can't pretend I need both of these, plus I still have my ICS Galaxy tab 10.1... and a jailbroken iphone...

My refurbished one is still working great from ebay from b&n. There was no problem with it and it came with a warranty

I see newegg has them for even cheaper. $116.

Awesome. Still one of the best deals out there for a cheap Android tablet. (Although the Nexus 7 makes it harder. )

[link fixed]NEXUS 7 16 GB ONLY $234 SHIPPED!!! Act now before it is gone!!!

Sorry mods about the thread that could go in another thread. But people should see this deal before it is gone. After that feel free to merge it with any thread you feel it needs to go to.
OKAY EVERYONE! READ
Just got this deal too amazing to pass up!
Go to:
http://www.jr.com/order/basket.jsp?...Hash=0a2ace30df7d42028f38788bbc64e14d7ffee550
There will be a 16GB Nexus 7 in your cart with free shipping!
Don't forget to add the July4 promo code for $15 off!!!
Now the Tablet will cost you a total of $234 (unless you live in NY, the tax NY sorry)
Also, the free shipping uses UPS to ship to your USPS post office, THEN Usps delivers to your door. It happens all the time buying from amazon. Just sucks if your mailbox is too small. Then USPS will leave you a slip to go pick it up.
So the shipping may be slow, but you can upgrade to 2 day or 1 day for a much better shipping rate than google was offering!
I was going to pre-order from gamestop today, GLAD I WAITED!
OH! Also note: They will only ship to paypal confirmed addresses, so if your address isn't confirmed, you will have to pay with a credit card and manually type your Shipping info.
ALSO: If you use a MASTERCARD credit card (not debit) They will not charge you until it ships. So A) no balance as of yet, and B) when you are charged you know they shipped.
Do this now! Because they already took the Nexus 7 off their main page! Only a matter of time before they fix this link too!
Not sure when it is shipping, because I never saw the actual listing, but for this price, I could wait a week or two.
Happy hunting!
Oh and act now, because this deal could be gone in minutes or hours.

It's tempting. This would be cheaper than the 8GB model in the Google store. Gave OP a thanks even though I'm not the pre-ordering type. If discount is available from one vendor, it'll be available from another down the road. We appreciate tech toys, but they can only depreciate.

A bit skeptical about this given that the actual item is not currently listed on the site.

I pulled the trigger... worse case they cancel it, I've ordered from J&R before (my laptop) and didnt have any issues with them
ganna see if i can get another 5% out of it via shop discover on my CC

i ordered one prob will get canceled oh well

Well this is probably not going to drop lower than this until used/ refurbs come out.
Google is already losing money on these tablets so there isn't much leeway in price. The only reason it is cheap through this site is because the site always offers free shipping. And the coupon code is site wide, so it was a fluke it was useable for the tablet (also probably why they took the Nexus 7 off their site, so they can wait for the coupon deal to end.

As someone else said, worse that can happen is they cancel on you. And if you use a Mastercard credit card, they won't charge you until they ship. So if they cancel on you, your money was never tied up anyway. Sounds like a win to me and no losses in sight.

Not sure when it will ship. Because they took the listing down. But it should hopefully ship mid July (when Google ships) or end of July (when Gamestop ships them) Either way, I am willing to wait in order to save over $40.

You are right....
The Item ID does have a 16 at the end, but no proof. I'm going on the OP of the thread that provided this link they said the original description (when it was up) was for a 16gb.
So I'm sure it is a 16gb, but if they run out maybe they will send 8gb and say, well we never said.
Anyway, I don't think it is a problem. If they send me 8gb I will just return it

It's definetly the 16gb model. I Googled the model number the J&R listed for the Nexus, ASU NEXUS7/1B16, and found the same model number, and pre-sales online at B&H Photo, Frys and Adorama. All three online vendors listed the model number as 16gb. B&H's pre-sale price is $249.00 and the other two vendors are charging 99 cents more for their pre-sales.
I hope this puts some minds at ease.

lol @ $21 NY tax.
Can't wait to move. What a joke.

Best Buy trade-in still offering $250 and up for good condition N4!

I figured there might be some people that were looking to sell their N4 soon or were caught off guard by Google lower the price $100 and ripping that resale value away from them.
Apparently though BB trade-in is still offering:
$262 for perfect condition
$250 for good condition
Hope this helps :fingers-crossed:

I hate to come across as overly skeptical, but their FAQ mentions paying for return shipping on the devices, so I feel compelled to dig in a little deeper.

I don't see why you got aggravated here but OP didn't complain. He just said what the truth is. Obviously none of us saw that coming from Google. Perhaps he made this thread for those who were skeptical about selling (before N5 launches) or keeping the device and if Google's decision of slashing the price made such people a little upset, they can use OP's link and take full benefit from it.

After being blessed by the HOLO when I get a new HOLO device I actually give my old ones away, and spread the word of Matias Duarte
My friend was all like you know they sell this galaxy nexus for 500 on ebay. I told him "My lamb that is not a HOLO device that is a verizon one and is not recommended, take this and give me that HTC desire." I then I plus'ed Matias Duarte and we chanted HOLOYOLO together and burned that device to a cinder

I wasnt aggravated.. just as I stated, no item sold by anyone will keep their current launch prices.. even cars, dealers see sale decline, they push out promos or lower prices... if you think Google will keep the phones at their launch prices, then you are naive (not really directed to you but to anyone who thinks this way)..
This is just my opinion... and leave it at that....

The best thing you can do is you can purchase two visa gift cards for 5.95 for each because the max limit on visa card is $200
so what you can get $250 cash at the end
262 -6 -6 = $ 250
