Looks like Overstock has some Refurbished Nook Colors for $199
http://www.overstock.com/Electronics/Nook-Color-by-Barnes-Noble-Certified-Pre-Owned/5924200/product.html
use code 207397 for discount to 185.07.
free shipping and no tax in CA.
I ordered one of these yesterday...can't wait to get a NC and flash CM7 on it!
Just ordered one! Can't wait to put CM7 on it. Thanks for the discount code!
Thanks for the code. Bought a new one from B & N for my son, and had a blast putting CM7 and OC to 1325 Mhz. Very usable and fun device.... I want one for myself!
Was thinking maybe I'd wait for a cool Honeycomb tablet ... after price drops. But after looking at some reviews and PRICE$, why wait? For someone who moves around, 10" is too big.
Was kind of looking for one on craigslist or something, but this works great!
...hmmm. Slight buyer's remorse:
Meritline has the refurbished Samsung SGX540 Galaxy Tab 16GB 7" WiFi Android Tablet for $319 - $49 off with coupon code MLC61J0QTNL1 [100 uses] = $270 with free shipping.

$90 for radio, gps and camera seems like a nice upgrade?
sweet, just picked one up. will be a nice compliment to my atrix and be a fun toy for quick browsing when i dont want to power up the laptop

Nook or Tab?
Not sure if that tab requires some kind of activation or not? Read some reviews/videos lastnight comp Tab vs. Nook and the tab usually wins on most based on "out of box" exp. Don't think they had the latest tweeks on the nooks though. And most where comparing the Tab wi-fi only which is actually downgraded frim 3G one in a few ways.
Can live fine w/ GPS tether, no camera. Get by without actual buttons ok. Better dev here and build quality, and I'm getting used to the dpi and actually like it.

AT&T is selling a refurbished galaxy tab for $250, no contract. The only requirement is you have to buy a month of service, which can easily be canceled and refunded with a polite call to AT&T customer service.
My conclusion: DON'T BUY THE WIFI VERSION. Just don't. It is a scaled down version of the cellular version. So for the same price as the wifi one, why not? Also, both the nook and galaxy tab have great hacking communities so ROMs are plentiful in both cases, it just depends on whether the spec bump is worth it.

I got the nook, and so far am very happy with it. Does everything I have needed it to, with speed. Threw on the b&n hard shell case and a screen protector and it feels solid and protected now.

Thanks to the OP for this thread. I received the NC on Wednesday and had it up and running with CM7 stable the same night. I've added dozens of programs from both Android Market and Apps for Android Amazon.
I purchased many that I liked in the demo version.

I just took advantage of a similar deal from Buy.com
** I was going to post a direct link but it won't let me because I'm new here. **
Mine shipped direct from B&N, not sure if the Overstock deal is the same. Just got it last night, and haven't had much time to play with it yet. I plan to get CM on it ASAP.

I received mine last week and registered it at Barnes and Noble. Then I received an email saying that I could buy the extended warranty, which covers breakage.
I stopped by BN last night and was told that you have two weeks from date of purchase to pick up the two year warranty. For $55 it sounds like a good deal to me!!!
Just curious if anyone with a refurbished nook has noticed any screen defects like dust under the screen or stuck pixels. I know I went through 4 nooks with screen defects before I got one without any problems. I know others have had similar issues. Wondering if a lot of these refurbished nooks are these returned ones.

is there a huge difference in "new" and "certified preowned"? besides the obvious price tag.

Mine was like new, which is what I expect of retailed pre-owns. If I didn't mind something with a few scratches or dents, I'd buy eBay used.
Title pretty much says it all. If anyone wants a spare or backup they're just $159 online at Best Buy.

Not really. They went on sale at 5 am CST. I got mine ordered, but I hope they didn't oversell and cancel on me. :/
So nice to see that price less that two Weeks after buying from Dell for $275.

damn!!! Thats expensive!!! Sorry man
I got mine ordered and confirmed! First Black Friday deal I've ever managed to get in my life. LOL
I sold my Transformer and was considering getting the Prime, but then I realized what I really need is something like a Samsung Series 7 Slate (actual slate w/digitizer, full OS, etc) and I figure the Dell will make a nice and inexpensive plaything... Shame the battery only lasts 5-6 hours.
Looking forward to it though!

Hey all,
I love my streak, but I think it's time to make a move. Before I go to the marketplace section, I thought I would offer the Streak to the good people here.
Before I hand it over, the Streak will be flashed back to Froyo, includes an Otterbox Commuter case, a Dell dock and all associated power/usb cables. This is a T-Mobile model.
I'd like to get US$150.00, but any reasonable offer will be accepted. Local (US - NYC area) sale preferred but willing to negotiate other possibilities.
Thanks for your time.

buyingplease allow me to be the first person to buy your streak. I live in san diego will pay the few dollars for shipping. Have paypal account to make the transaction easy.
Email me at [email protected]
I should mention I considered getting the Nexus as well HOWEVER... after strong thinking, Im sticking with my Streak 7. Why? Nexus tablet is already outdated. No expandable memory. So you pay 250$ for a 16GB, Least our streak has the external memory that you can upgrade.
Also no HDMI or USB on the nexus, then no 3G/4G band either. Soooo all in all, my streak 7 still wins. Now if you give me the Asus Transformer Infinity, ok, Ill switch.

I agree as well. The only drawback I see in the Streak 7 is its short battery life, which can be easily overcome with an external power pack.
No scratches - has a screen protector and a OtterBox Commuter case, which I will include. The DS7 itself is pristine.
Sorry for the delay, but the holiday has set me back, time-wise. I'll email you no later than tomorrow morning.

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'm tempted too...can anyone post a screenshot of how the zinio app looks like on this screen?
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.
I'm reading the car and driver mag with the new Corvette and I can zoom in and see lots of details

I got mine at B&N this weekend with the member 10% off coupon for the Nooks. It was also tax free as part of my state's back to school holiday. So, I ended up paying $161 total for a 32gb Nook HD+.

They make deals like this available to a few just to torment the rest of us!
Here's the best I think I can do, officemax coupon and nook+. Here's the coupon for the others salivating, 20% off till saturday. nooks only available in-store.

I will pick it up sometime soon. nutrition\rent be damned. :cyclops:
[update:] I bought HD+ at full price at Barnes and Noble. The officeMaxes are all out in the valley of the sun... yes the whole valley, I checked. [/update]
toodles!
Price is $399.99. Rebate is $50. I just placed an order. I'm excited.
Darn, that is a fantastic price. I wish I hadn't ordered from Amazon this weekend.
Here in Denmark it costs $630... I'm not going to order the TF701T from USA like I did with the TF700T, seeing as the keyboard wouldn't charge, and the charger couldn't be used here anyway... Lots of money to save though. It must feel good to be American sometimes...

Interestingly I took my TF701T to Japan and the dock wouldn't charge there. The unit would only trickle charge. This is with the official asus charger which is rated 100V to 240V.
Back home again and both work fine............
Yeah that is strange. :S I had to buy a DK charger for it, and it worked fine with the tablet, but the dock would just never charge.
Oh well, I accidentally wiped the damn thing when uninstalling the Ubuntu dual boot, so it's useless anyway, which is why I'm considering the TF701T. It's just so pricey here!

It's also $299 on Amazon. From Amazon Warehouse, it has been as low as $205, though the price is constantly fluctuating. It's currently $221. New Tegra K1/ Snapdragon 805 devices are on the way, so that's probably why the price is dropping.

Yep - just pulled the trigger on it for $299. I think this tablet at $299 is by far the best bang for the buck. I know new SD800 and Tegra 5 tablets are due out this year but the 701 at$299 is just a killer bargain!

It's under the "Used" section. If you pick one that has a description saying "Item is in original packaging, but packaging may come damaged" or "Item will come repackaged", then it should come in virtually new condition. Otherwise it will list minor cosmetic defects, "Small (less than ¼" x ¼") cosmetic imperfection on front of item". Just stick with ones that only mention packaging and the condition will likely be close to perfect. Right now, the price is $272 though, so you'll want to wait until it drops again. Amazon Warehouse is well worth the savings. I got a Sandisk 64 GB Class 10 UHS-1 last year for less than $20 when it then usually sold for $45. The only thing wrong with it was the packaging. Same with another flash drive I bought. Most items they sell are openbox with little or no damage to the product.
Whew! Best Buy literally sold out its unit while I was on the tf701 page. I quickly headed to Amazon where the price increased to 349. I quickly went to TigerDirect and quickly made an order for their 299 unit. True enough, when my wife checked out the tf701 on TigerDirect, it wasn't available all of a sudden.
Whew!
But what could have been the reason for the price changes and availability of the tf701 all of a sudden? Did an online vendor bought all of Best Buys cheaper units with the purpose of selling them again at a higher price?
Clarification: the 299 unit on TigerDirect is still available. The link my wife used might have been for another tf701 posting on Tiger.

It's not worth it right now, but if the price drops to $200 again, it definitely will be. Never had any problems with Warehouse, but you could add a $44.99 Squaretrade Warranty to cover the product for a year if you wanted to be extremely careful.
Will definitely try the Warehouse in the future. Had to get the 299 one for fear of only the 349+ ones being available for orders. My wife is buying it for me as a birthday gift so all is well. LOL. Thanks for the advices!
