Yup. It is the same price everywhere retail.

Buy it online and take advantage of cash back offers.
For example, sign up for fatwallet.com. go to their page about B&N, click through and you will get 4% cash back from B&N through fatwallet.
Also, pay with an American Express Open card and save 5%. So you save about $22. Not sure if that is worth all of your trouble, but there you go.

Thanks. I'm just gonna print out that fatwallet page and price match it at Best Buy. Should almost cover tax.

Get it from Craigslist. I got mine brand new for $180 with a case.

Best I could find was a B&N coupon for 15% off 1 item...... by then I found a brand new still sealed with case for 170 on CL.

15% off? That's pretty good. Where'd you get it from?
BTW I've been checking CL for the last 2 months. Theres one guy selling it already rooted for $300 (friggin idiot lol).

I don't think that the b&n coupons apply to the NC.

Every coupon I've seen for B&N has said:
[...]not eligible for purchases of the following products and services: [...] NOOK(TM) and related accessories[...]

Yep sorry, i didn't read fine print.

There were a couple on my local CL right after Christmas. One in Detroit & another in Lansing. Both were asking $200, for Nooks (supposedly) still in shrink wrap. My guess is they were presents and the sellers wanted cash rather than a BN gift card.
I tried to work a deal with the seller closest to me, but we (her, actually) couldn't coordinate schedules. I was not going to drive an hour for the other one, so I just bought new at the BN store.
Seriously, if you can make a CL or other deal work and save a few bucks, great. For me, it was not worth the time & hassle to save $50.

[Q] Where did you buy your Nook Color?

I just wanted to get an idea of how the majority of people aquired their nook color. Online, in a B&N store, Best buy, craigslist? I'm shopping around and looking for the best place to get one under MSRP, or at least tax-free. Any suggestions, or websites I should keep an eye out on for possible sales?

I got mine from craigslist for $225.00 total. it was brand new (still in plastic). the best part about CL is no sale tax, saving me $30.00. I met the guy at the mall give him 1/2 of the money and told him if the nook boots up fine I'll give him rest of the money. so far I'm vary happy with my NC running CM7

best buy simply so i could also get a micro sd with an adapter at the same store.

I bought mine on ebay new, but no box. 207 shipped.

Ebay here as well. B&N provided a coupon for $50 off. It was $208. Pretty sure it's the first time I've paid a tax for an internet purchase.

Ebay With the Bn coupon $206 with tax

ebay, new, from b&n $200

Ebay during B&N's sale.

Ebay as they don't sell them in Australia. I just missed out on the coupon so paid too much.

i got mine from b&n cuz they have a store about 100 feet from my apartment...

Had to get mine from the farther-away Walmart, as B&N, BB, and the closer Walmart were all out of stock. Tempted to get it online, but wanted to try local first.

got mine at a brick and mortar B&N store, it was an impulse buy

Bought mine at the nearest B&N store. Nice folks, but "The Nook Guy" wasn't there.

Store. There's a big stink on b&n forums towards people who got it on hsn. Kinda funny.

Best buy while my visit to USofA.
With CM7 NC makes the best price-performance for me.. and it's not sold in Europe.. they'd outsell ipad in Europe if B&N saw the oppurtunity

Best Buy, mostly on a whim, knowing that there was cme community behind it. Of course, things have really changed now, haven't they.....

Craigslist for $150. Couldn't resist such a low price. It was practically brand new.
I bought it because I knew there is an active XDA community supporting it. Even at $250 the nook is a pretty nice bargain given the hardware.

I got mine at Best Buy with some other stuff so I could get it with no interest for 18 months deal.

I bought mine at a B&N store. It was a week before the Groupon coupon deal but at least I got a 5% rebate by using a B&N Mastercard.

This is a hot deal. They're normally $225 on B&N's site.

Wow, it's just one sale after another for our beloved NC. I might consider a second one for the wife.
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk

I was just about to post this. Deal is still on.
I have 2 nook coming my way. 1 I bought two days ago at $225 that I am going to return as soon as the package lands on my doorstep. Another one that I just bought last night at $189. I'm so excited!

I got one as well!
Cant wait to play!

Sucks, I ordered a refurb one yesterday for $225, I emailed them to see if I can get them to just refund the $35 as I don't have enough left on my paypal to buy a second one at $190 and just wait til I can send the other one back. Hopefully they still have them available in like a week so I can still get the savings.

I Have one for sale if anyone is interested check out my thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1151861

I'd look but it says I don't have permission. You can PM details if you'd like.

I just ordered one through this deal too, making it my first personal nook color and third one I'll be setting up with aftermarket firmware (Thinking CM as the honeycomb stuff is just too buggy for me).

Yay 4 Juggs,
You still have your NC for sale? If yes, plz tell me more about it & your price via PM or email em at [email protected].. Thanks

If I remember correctly B&N also selling new NC with 50 dollar coupon. Do you think its worth to buy that or just buy the refurbished one?

Could you please post the source for the $50 coupon?
I personally would not hesitate one second to buy a new device @ $200 over a refurb for $190...

I know there is a sale for $25 off the NC new if you have a B&N membership but that's the only sale I found from days of searching.

Possible way to get $50 refunded for 16 GB owners

Just as a heads up, there might be a way for some 16 GB owners to get their $50 dollars refunded to reflect the new price. I bought my 16 GB mid-September from Walmart and like many users was surprised to find that Google would drop the price by $50 dollars only a few weeks later. My N7 was purchased on a credit card (Chase Freedom) that apparently offers a 60 day price protection for up to $250 per claim. I wasn't sure that my credit card offered this until I gave them a call so it would not hurt to check the benefits that your credit card provides.
The claim process isn't too lengthy. Just need to fill out a form that they emailed me, provide a copy of the receipt as well as a copy of Walmart's website reflecting the new price. Kind of like a rebate I guess. Hopefully this can help some others out.

Yeah, I was peeved that I didn't grab my chase freedom. I went with Amex instead. They have a buyers remorse program but I'd still keep this device anyways if they gave me $50 back.

Yes. Money is tight for me right now and $50 is enough that I want it back. It has nothing to do with being cheap.

What dya reckon the chances of getting a price match from Argos?
I purchased it in store, still have the reciept and everything.
Google told me to try it?

I am simply pointing out one of the perks that some credit cards offer their cardholders. Since I bought the N7 for $250 not long ago and now that the current price is $199, why not get the difference refunded? Only reason I do not have Walmart doing the price match is simply because I am beyond their 15 day return policy. Luckily there are credit cards out there that extend this price protection for you as part of their benefits.
I love the N7 and was content with the 16GB. I have no hard feelings towards Google for driving down the price since it is a competitive market. If there is a way for others to potentially benefit from the perks that their credit cards offer then it never hurts to share that information to those that are unaware.
In the big picture, I don't think $50 dollars is going to worry a big bank anyways. But if it allows someone to get another tank of gas or some groceries for the week, then I simply ask, why not?

I'm not sure I understand this comment. Why on earth would you not request a refund of $50 if you are eligible?
And...who's the one asking for donations from forum members??

I am not certain of the story policies in place for Argos. It never hurts to call the store you got it from and ask if they have a price match guarantee or some kind of similar program. I believe there are some US retail chains that allow you to price match even after purchasing for up to a certain time frame (usually 30 days). Best Buy is an example that I believe has this program but I'm not 100% certain as I haven't shopped there in forever.
If the store don't work out, why not give your credit card (assuming you bought it with a credit card) a call to see if they offer a similar benefit? As I mentioned earlier, I did not know that my credit card offered it until I called to see if they are able to match the new price.

I bought a 16GB model last Wednesday from Office Max. They have a 14 day return policy for electronics so I brought mine in yesterday and simply exchanged it for a new 32GB Nexus 7. No fuss, no muss.

Lol, that wasn't quite my point, and I should have elaborated. My point being you got $25 free credit so should only expect $25 back and when buying things you should expect the price to drop. We got a Samsung smart TV a couple months ago for £2500 and its now £2000. We can't just walk into the store and ask for the £500 we lost. Its just how things work.

If the store you bought the TV from (or credit card company) had a policy of refunding the difference if there is a price drop, and you were within that time period, suley you would have requested the £500 back?
Same principle here, they guy is just highlighting a policy that some people may not be aware of

It's not being cheap... it's managing your money. The reason you can do this is because the price dropped so quickly from release. If you can do it, go for it. $25 play store credit isn't the same as actual money. Sure, I could have $25 of apps.. but I haven't spent anything near that on the play store yet. But gas? oh yes...

I don't consider 5 months "so quickly" and if they bought it in the last month they should have known the 32gb was coming, the rumours where everywhere.

So, since the 8GB model was discontinued, I should be able to get a full refund right? lol
But in all seriousness, I take it this might not apply to the 8GB model, since there's no actual price on it now? Maybe even less of a chance of it being possible if you bought it from Play Store?

I wasn't an early adopter. I didn't have mine since release. I had mine just about 30 days out from the release of the 32. Most stores are now smart and place it on 14 day return policy. If I had mine since release, I would of been in the similar position with your TV and wouldn't care. The money is gone, bye. My bill for the N7 is actually due November 4th, so I still haven't paid it with my own money yet, it stings a little more in those shoes.
Anyways, it's an offer the credit card provides. I looked at Discover and they do the same. It's their "purchase protection" to win over customers. It's there, no extra cost. Why not? I would use it in a heartbeat if I had the option. This has nothing to do with being cheap. Being cheap would be buying an $80 budget tablet from some no name brand hoping it will function just like the N7.

I saw the rumors but didn't start to really swirl until after the end of my 14 day return policy. It was the KFHD that got me into this mess, got one from amazon, didn't like it even after root but it wet my appetite to get a new toy
But in the end, it is what it is.

five months is very quickly. Consider that not everyone preordered the nexus 7. And the fact that supply was limited until around august. Plus certain countries didn't even have the device for a while after the US release. Five months is short. Really, Google was just stupid to think 8GB would be enough as a starting point. A 7in tablet that's portable without 3G is supposed to stream things from the cloud? Wat....

How about three weeks? I'm a week past the Walmart 15 day 'return' policy. Had I known the 32 gig was coming out so fast (I was thinking maybe Christmas) I would have waited. Ya...I'm a little pissed...but I'm happy with the 16 gig version.

[Q] Nook+HD right time to buy?

Howdy folks,
I'm currently rather broke but sorely tempted by the newly price reduced nooks. I'll cut right to it:
Do you guys think they will come down further?
Would you endure several weeks of mac n cheeze to have yours?
Thanks for your insights!

yes. absolutely.

I'd expect it to drop by another 10%, but you could probably get that by buying second hand on eBay. (I did)

I paid $50 for mine (HD+) the other week when they were on super discount at office max

picked mine up from walmart for 179. even at this price its a steal.

Best buy and other places have them for $150. Some people have picked them up for ~$100.
I don't know if we will see another $99 fire sale like the hp touch pad

I want a tablet where I don't have to zoom in to read the texts in the magazine.

Zinio looks great. Text is a good size. Easy to rest if out have decent vision. Pictures look amazing.
