Looks like someone made quick work and already posted a Nexus 7 from Google IO on E-Bay. $600 for those who can't wait!
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nexus-7-Tab...-2012-Android-4-1-FAST-SHIPPING-/150846459594
they can keep it, there is no way i will pay triple for that tablet
Someone else also posted for $1500. Another individual is selling his pre-order copy for $400. The ways people think of making a quick buck...smh
some people are just desperate to make some quick buck. I would keep it if i were them.
Capitalism at work. Don't hate the seller, pity the buyer.
I just found one on CL for 999, LOL.

Why? With the money they earn they could buy a new Nexus 7 with plenty left over!
$400 seems reasonable. After taxes and whatnot my 16gb is 300ish. Throw in shipping+insurance and a little money for their trouble and that's not so bad for someone in a country that can't buy these. If you're somewhere you can buy them I don't really see the point of buying from ebay/CL/etc
cheap in USA?
the current exchange rates is USD-1:AUD-1
It is $250 in oz and only $200 in the USA!

Thank you corporate America. Sorry yall, I couldnt hold it in, I had to express my joy to the world! Good bye hermes/8525, you've served me well!
so how's that? is that with a rebate, or out the door?
did you get a special discount?
out the door, retail, no contract, no upgrade!!! special discount!
Any way we can get a name or a photo of the reciept or something that we could take to corp store to prove it? I went to a corp store yesterday, and they refused to go below $399 even though I have a premier account.
Almost exact same deal I got. My Premiere discount is 60% on equipment's retail price. I got it for $240 + tax, no contract or extension, just out the door.

has anyone realized that best buy has been doing this for the longest?
since the tilt came out.
$250 a 2 year contract (369 one year..something like that) no rebate forms,pda plan required....what so ever.
some guys at ny.. times square tried to tell me that the att tilt simply wouldn't work without a pda plan therefore i must or i needed to add it to the two year plan/contract. As far as i know they dont advertise it though, but i couldnt even find it through their website..... -

Can someone explain what the big deal is with getting the phone for $250 with no contract? What good does that do? So you can use the phone on a no commitment, either prepaid or pay-as-you go plan? If you go that route you are going to pay considerably more than if you signed up for a 2 year contract, so it doesn't really make sense financially.
I can get the premier discount through my university, but why when newegg has it for $150 with a 2 year contract, free shipping, no tax?? That's exactly what I did.
The only advantage I can see for buying it through premier is if you are trying to upgrade your phone in the middle of your contract. Other than that, newegg still has the best deal. Period. If I am misunderstanding something please explain.

Because a lot of people already are in the middle of a 2 year contract, and don't want to wait 14 months until they can get the Kaiser for less than the cost of a used car.

Also, for those who don't want to wait for newegg to get them in stock (cuz they keep running out), amazon has it for $200 (I think) w/ 2 year contract.

I spend a **** load on my bill, What is premier? I have a $200 dollar a month plan! But I don't think I'm premier..

thx for the link, but yeah that deal wouldnt benefit me in the long run becuz i have a GF data plan(19.99=unlmt internet 1500txt 50mms). Contract upgrades wouldve shifted me to a 44.99 plan! So I think i did good!

HA thats funny, i was thinking the same thing lol!!! now lets see how much i can get the iphone for!(present for my pops)
Don't want to tempt anyone here but I've just noticed that unlocked HD7s are selling on ebay for between £400 and £550 a pop.
Crazy. Why would you pay that? Have these people never heard of using a shop? Or at least checking the going rate online.

I saw this its so crazy if i had the upfront cash i would so get in on that.
It's that price on eBay because:
1. It's only release in europe at the moment
2. US people can't be bothered to wait and usually order from overseas
3. It's unlocked
Main 3 factors which bumps up the prices.
That does explain some of the sales but plenty of sellers say they won't ship outside of the UK.
I checked some of the inflated completions and a lot of them seem to be bought by bidders with zero feedback. Something funny going on there.
Yea the zero feedbacks do sound a bit dodgy...
But with the ones that ain't shipping out of UK, it's unlocked, so people will pay anything just to put their Vodafone/Orange/Tmobile sim in it.
What i don't get is that you can do it yourself if you just buy it from O2. Learning how to unlock it will take like 15minutes for a newbie.
Indeed.
For the zero bid ebay buys I wonder if it's a way of making a product look more expensive than it really is. People probably decide on what's a bargain partly based on how much stuff tends to sell for.
So, if you flood the place with extortionately priced handsets and create ebay IDs to buy them people will presume that's the going rate and be willing to shell out more.
If an item sells then great. You go out to O2, buy one, unlock it and put in post to buyer. If it looks like it won't sell you use a fake ID to make it look like it sold and later get your advertising money back due to 'buyer' not sending payment.
Devious if true.
I'm trying to sell my laptop so that I have extra money for my vacation but I haven't had any luck. I've tried ebay and CL. All the contact that I've had with people from CL are scammers and flakers. If anybody has any other ideas, please feel free to chime in. Thanks!

That's right.
I'd stick with eBay if I were you. You may not get as good a price as you want, but then again you may get better. It's just luck of the draw.
3 options
I would say CL is the best option if you live in the city. if not, then eBay. Yes it might be risky, specially if you are new to eBay or do not have many transactions. Scammers usually target new eBayers that are not familiar with the selling process. They often buy form you, them swap the item for an identical one but defective. So there are a few step that you must follow in order to prevent this.
Your third option is sell to a electronic trade-in company. I have used this one http://www.gadgetsalvation.com
You most likely won't get as much as you could get on eBay, but at least you safe yourself the hassle.
Good luck
There are a couple of used ones on Amazon for $650. You could try there. I personally have never sold anything on it.
http://www.amazon.com/HP-13-1051nr-Hunger-Special-Edition/dp/B007P6IXLA
I also recommend CL
I also recommend CL to sell your laptop. However first of all, it's better to look up current average used price of your laptop on Amazon.com or ebay for figure out the price.
Ebay and Amazon takes more or around $10 depends on your price range.
Then calculate deducted price and post little upper than deducted.
You can avoid fee from ebay or amazon like sites but can get more than when you sell with those sites.
In addition, buyers will hook up less price than ebay and amazon.
I'd also recommend CL, though it requires considerably more patience that ebay due to, as you've experienced, scammers and flakers. Ebay fees suck and CL will often fetch a higher price.

That's gotta be a windup.
It'd be cheaper for the buyer to get a flight to the UK/US whichever is nearer and buy one from a shop..
Well... If you checked ebay sold nexus 4 history, some people do buy it up to $1,100.... So this guy is rightfully trying his luck :laugh:
I never thought people would actually bought it for 3x msrp though. :laugh:
31 people purchased a phone for 649/749... either he sold out and instead of cancelling the auction he jacked up the price to something WAY out of reach, either it's someone who hijacked an account and is collecting funds as fast as possible.
***Edit*** What's sad is he's selling the 8GB version for 549... + 100$ shipping to Canada. The US has free shipping, 19.99 Fed ex 2 days and 59.99 1 day...

I don't understand how people complain like this. Someone bought a good that was in short supply with high demand. They then resold it for market price. The person that bought it clearly thought it was worth what they paid for it. So big deal, why the hate?
I like my Nexus 4, but jeebers. Maybe I should sell it if people are really paying $750 for these phones. I could live with my Galaxy Nexus another month if needed.

That's it, I've decided - there are too many suckers out there with money to burn, so when the next most wanted mobile comes out (aka iCrap 5s/6) I'm going to re-mortgage my house and buy as many possible then flog them on ebay. (Then pay off my mortgage!)

I don't think so, these people are the scum of the earth, they don't create/produce anything of value, only parasitizing, I wouldn't mind if this type of activity was punished by pouring the hot oil in their angus through horn, like in the old days.
The average price of the sold units is ~$649, so nobody is buying them at the currently listed price. They probably jacked it up just to get attention and are preying someone buys at that ridiculous price.

So, racism aside - use eBay if you can get a better price less fees than you could in person.
That's just common sense.
For example, I'm going to sell a suit that does fit me on eBay - I have a much better chance at finding someone who WILL fit it if I open the sale to a country-wide market that enjoys lots of use than if I'm on Craigslist marketing to people in my local area who - if they want a suit - probably aren't looking on Craigslist for it in the first place. Or selling in a consignment store and letting them take a cut just like eBay would - and getting a much smaller audience.
Swappa might be good for phones - but it's a smaller market than eBay. If you can get the same price there, though - why not ? It's a specialised device that has a specialised marketplace - try it, sure.
I like eBay for random crap that I want to believe someone in the whole USA (or world if they want to pay shipping) might possibly want and search for in the next week or whatever. Sold my old iPod Classic to some dude in Russia, it was worth it just to be able to say that.

Please modify your post. I'm going to report it anyway - XDA is a forum with a lot of youngsters on it, and comparing a fee for using a company's service to sexual abuse is just stupid and wrong.
It's simple. If you don't like the fees then don't use the service, but where else are you going to sell stuff online? They provide a service and charge for it - that's their right. :banghead:

Seriously... if you need to use anti-semitic remarks and brutal sex analogies to describe your views of eBay, I suggest you rethink your place on this forum. OT does not mean anything goes. Consider this a general warning for those of you who have crossed the line. You know who you are.
