For the 16g, how much would you have paid?
I live outside the U.S., so it's pretty expensive.. I will have to pay $350 USD for it. This is including tax and international shipping. Would you do it? If I wait longer.. it would probably still cost like $300 in my country. I kind of want to have it in my hands now, and I will be traveling soon. Is it worth it? How much would you have paid?

I live in California and mine came to about $283 with tax and shipping and our CA environmental fee.

16GB its probably a $350 tablet. But, at that price minor additional things would have been added that they couldn't hit with the low profit margin. SD card slot, Camera. They only made about $12 on the 8GB model.
The low price was the main focus on the 7 to provide DIRECT competition to the nook and kindle. Google has achieved that with sales predictions in the millions by end of year.
Hey ya'll,
Just throwing out there, I was at WalMart (Ozark, Al) earlier tonight, and found that the Nexus 7 32GB was marked down to 199. I just bought mine the day before Thanksgiving! I checked the website, it is still listed at 249. I dunno if this is a price drop waiting to happen, or if it is in my area only. I asked the manager if I could have 50 bucks back and she said that she didn't know, told me to call in the morning, and worse case, box it back up, return it, and use the money to buy it at the lower price. (Which I don't want to do, but if I have to in order to get the better price, I will.)

Damn it!! I wonder if its that price only where you live .. I just bought a 16 gig from Google play for the same price

Similar things are happening in the UK, as you can now get find the 32gb for around £180 at certain places.
Thats what's making me hold out until after Xmas for the 3g.

There wasn't a price drop on the 16, but it looks like the 16 has been sold out for a while, I've been looking for a while, mouth was watering, just jumped on it. I'll call them in the morning and ask if I can get that money back without having to take the device back, I still have my receipt that shows proof. All the night CSM told me was, with electronics, they might.
If you buy through Paypal at radio shack you can get 10$ gift cert for each 50 you spend then price match the nexus 7 32GB to a cheaper site and get more money back... that's what i did.. paid 249.99+cheap filler item+tax=265.xx got 5 10$ certs then used the Paypal pricematch promo (can find through googling) and matched it to a cheaper price i found online which was 229.99 1 or 2 weeks ago. so in the end i spent 265.xx but got back 50$ in certs + 20$ refund back to Paypal account. (pretty good deal if you need to buy anything from RS)
Are you sure the UPC wasn't for the 16GB version? It doesn't make sense that Google would drop the price twice in barely 2 months time (or increase the storage, however you want to put it).
I checked to make sure it wasn't for the 16 gb. The tag also said 32 gb
that would be really nice, since I want to buy one but for 200 or less.
I'm heading to Walmart as soon I get off work and check it out I need one for my car dash.

I just looked on walmart's website and it still says that the 32GB is $249. Oddly though i cant find the 16 GB.
Of course Google aren't dropping the price.
That doesn't stop other retailers from though.

According to the representative at Gamestop, they are no longer making the 16 GB Nexus 7 and are phasing it out by getting rid of the remaining stock. So, my understanding is that Gamestop will only be selling the 32 GB wifi/data along with other retailers like Walmart when the 16 GB runs out.
I'm really thinking about returning the 16 GB one when I receive it next week and just pay the $50 to get the more recent 32 GB one.

Exactly,and besides I'm getting the 16 gb nexus 7 as a gift from my sister in the mainland. She bought it from Walmart for $200 and she'll give it to my parents to bring back to me here in Hawaii for my Christmas present. She said since it's a gift for the holidays Walmarts return policy is 15 days after the 24. I'll just probably return it for a refund and pay the xtra for a 32g from Walmart or Gamestop.
And I won't be getting the 3g Nexus because I already got a tiny hotspot with unlimited 4g with download speeds of 6 mbps and uploads of 1.5 mbps. It lasts for 7-8 hours on it's internal battery and costs me only $25 per month. Awesome! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vr-J-M2aEIc
Can anyone else confirm the 16gb version being discontinued or the 199 price for the 32gb? It's still 249 at the Walmart here.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
I called the store, the price match to get my 50 would have to been done in 7 days. My store knocks prices down all the time because they don't know what they have. BTW the price is a clearance price. For example, they have Apple service plans (extended warranties) on clearance, a 2tb external Seagate go flex on clearance for 89. They managers there don't know crap about technology. If I get a chance I'll take a pic of the tag they have. But I'm at work till Monday morning

But we're talking about a gamestop employee.... They are probably thinking the 8gb, which is already gone.
And maybe one walmart in the world is confused or has something marked incorrectly. If you can get it for that price, great.
They aren't getting rid of the 16gb, not this soon at least.
Hey now,
As a citizen of a country called Belgium, i have found it very difficult to purchase the Nexus devices. I wonder what your experience has been on the previous nexus devices, and where you traveled to to get one. I myself went to Denmark to search over 4 different provider stores to finally get one without a contract.

I live in Hungary, so no Play Store devices for me as well. Here, I could get it from bigger stores like Media Markt or buy it from the provider for a really high price. Either way, it's more expensive than buying directly from Google.

Where I come from, while Nexus devices are available, but the release date varies a lot.
Nexus S was released about 7 months after US.
No clue about Galaxy Nexus, didn't follow the news.
Nexus 7 was released like 8 months after US.
Nexus 4 was released like 3 months after US.
And the price is just insane. I mean, when Nexus 4 came out, it was priced about $550 for the 16GB unlocked (off-contract) version if I convert it to USD.
Nonetheless, I'm hoping the Nexus 5, which is to be released by LG. follow suit with the Nexus 4. I think 2-3 months is an "okay" time range. 7-8 months? Hell no.
I live in Belgium too and for my mobile I go in Germany (Aachen-Aix la Chapelle) which is 30 minutes from my place. It's cheaper then Belgium and the mobile are unlocked. For example for my GS3 it was 100euros cheaper in Germany.
For my future Nexus 5 I will go there.
I had to order the Nexus 4 via eBay from the UK. I even had to use forward2me service because the seller couldn't deliver to my address. Heck, I paid about $620 in total, but it was well worth it! I got it like 2 weeks after the release. I live in Latvia by the way.
I just hope Nexus 5 won't have stock problems like it was with Nexus 4.

I hope it's available from Amazon.com or similar. Then I'm gonna import it from the US and although there's gonna be taxes and stuff, the price is gonna be like $650. Still cheaper than bying say a SGS4 here, it costs more than $900.
I'll wait until it's available on ibood.com. Nexus 4 were sold there on several occasions.
I may also ask friend from UK to get me one when it's available at UK play store.

I found no problem of buying it in England for 160 pounds new boxed but receipe on a third person so warranty not void. Flashed a custom kernel after 2 weeks anyway, as overheating issues was killing me and the battery as well. In poland U can get it with 24months of warranty for 250 pounds no problem on auctions.
You can buy the Nexus 5 for 399 euros on coolblue (dot) be , you can also buy the Nexus 4 there and the Nexus 7.
Hope I helped you in time.

Thank you for the information, however I still find it outrageous to sell a 16GB version for 399 EUR about 539 USD, when the google play store price is 345 USD.
I am also living currently in Belgium and find the best prices to be on amazon.de or amazon.fr, depending on the products. The warranty is generally as good as when buying through a physical store and the price difference compared to other stores like Media Markt / Fnac or / Vandenborre is usually at least 100 EUR cheaper.
Lets hope that Google stops with this nonsense and starts selling in other EU countries too and while their at it they can also include a micro sd card slot in their future Nexus devices

O2 apparently have the network exclusive on the N5 32Gb in the UK, but they're selling it at a £210 markup!
Crazy that Google are allowing this!

We can only hope that anyone buying a SIM free N5 knows what the RRP is from Google (it's in stock on the Play store anyway) and won't be drawn in by this ridiculous pricing that's floating around on O2 and eBay!
Im on their 'Refresh' plan was thinking of upgrading even though i only just got my HTC One in August.
Then i saw this!
£32 on 3G.
£12 for the tariff
£20 for the phone
32x24 = 768 plus one of fee of 49.99
£818 over 2 years
It's ridiculous. I was tempted to get a Nexus 5 from Carphone Warehouse until I found out that they only have 16GB edition. O2 have exclusivity on the 32GB and this allows them to get away with jacking up the price waaay up. Bad O2, very bad.

With a nearly new HTC One, provided you haven't damaged it you should be able to sell it for enough to get a N5 SIM free anyway.

I read that O2 have exclusivity for 32GB GB on the UK high street, ie not online.
So quite possible it will be available via amazon.co.uk. I'm gonna wait and see and if so buy via amazon as I think I then will have better customer service should I need to return it if its faulty. I know you can return to google but I feel happier dealing with amazon when a physical item is being posted to me.

I ordered two with the intent of doing this, but availability is so much better than the N4 with it being sold in almost every UK phone outlet.
I think the eBay sales are coming from countries where it isn't available just yet and the hassle of sending there is never worth it for me.

Google Nexus 5 is exclusively distributed by a single carrier in my country. And I don't like them. They're offering a 16GB model without a contract for $506.02.
If you want a 32GB model, the gray market wants $512.31 but no LTE support for the carrier I'm subscribed to.
Talk about import taxes...
Well the taxes are a factor but not the main one! Here in Italy we have a lot of taxes and Google decided to open the Play Devices in every case! Today i noticed that i bought the Nexus 5 White 16 GB the price is 359 € (with shipping costs) and there were almost 65 € of taxes! O_O then yes taxes are a reason that the Play Devices is not open in some countries but i think that there are some other factors!

There are nearly no taxes here in Hong Kong. But Google did not sell any devices until 19 Nov. Before that n4 and n5 are sold by LG which is way more expensive than Google. I got my n5 from a store. It is sold by LG and cost me ~$500 for 16GB. It costs ~$410 on Google Play and ~$460 for 32GB.
You know Google doesn't owe you ****.
It's not your god given right to buy a nexus at an affordable price, especially if they don't sell it in your country officially.
If you can't buy one officially, it sucks to be you.
If Google did actually sell their products in your country, well that's a different story altogether.
Why aren't they selling stuff in your country?
Well you actually didn't say.
You didn't provide any information other than some whining.
If you do want to make a petition thread, then do some hard research, outline the processes in play and be persuasive.
Do this before you make this kind of thread and you'll have more sympathetic ears - or at least a better discussion that actually gets noticed.
Otherwise, stop posting these useless, poorly written threads.

You could say that because you live in a Google play country thus you don't feel what we feel, if you did you'd understand how annoying it is.. Especially we, developers in non google play countries, have to pay a large sum

For those of you who feel bad for not being able to buy a nexus 5 because you don't love in a Google play country.

I thought the Google Playstore wouldn't come to Hong Kong. It did this year on Nov 20. It will eventually arrive in your country. You are in New York right?
Just get it from an online store as I did? Saved 300...

What was the price in NZD? I wanted a Nexus 4 last year while I still lived in NZ but they were so damn expensive everywhere (including online stores)

It's because of the taxes in your country. Blame your government not Google. Take the PS4 for example -
Now, Sony's announced the cost of the PS4 in Brazil and it's somehow an even bigger figure. Brazilians will have to pay 3,999 Brazilian Real, which is the equivalent of $1850 USD.
The increased costs are due to import fees and taxes

The PS4 is $399.99 after all your countries import fees and taxes that's a $1450 markup just from taxes and import duties charged by your country. If you don't like it buy it somewhere else and have it shipped to you by another company that wont force you to pay the taxes.
@Darkendvoid88 I totally agree. If you're in a country where electronics are really expensive its better off getting one over seas and shipped back to you. So you won't have to spend so much money.
But $1850 USD is crazy.. You could buy like 4 ps4s

90% percent of you don't know what you are talking about even if this has been pointed out already in the past.
The nexus 5 is made by LG and is subsidized by Google where the play store is available for making phone purchases.
Where it isn't available, like in my country, it is being sold by and imported by LG which makes the phone 90eur more expensive. Being in an EU country intra EU taxes don't exist and only the difference in VAT taxes are applicable. Regardless the price is higher not because of taxes but because of profit.
In other countries where neither Google nor LG sell it, the price is higher because no one can tell the importer what prices to apply. So, if there is demand the price is as high as the monopoly governs. Of course there are taxes but excepting Brazil and the ps4 debacle there are few in these extreme situations.
So what the OP wants is that Google expand their Play services to his country to level out the price of his next Nexus phone to a product with taxes and transport and with minimum PROFIT! Not like LG in my country that is charging 90eur more for a phone which sells in Germany carrying the exact same taxes.

You know that by buying it overseas or from anywhere outside the country implies adding the same exact import taxes because you are in fact importing.
You cannot bypass import taxes that is why Sony, the official manufacturer and importer for Brazil, is forced to sell it in Brazil at that price. Sony is making the exact same profit as it does in other countries.
If it were another importer, not Sony, then you could have blamed the company for abuse by selling it with a high margin and import it yourself.
