[?] Ebay is full of Nook HD+ - Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey there,
I'd like to buy a Nook HD+ and I'm wondering because currently ebay (in the uk) is full of seller who are actually selling (buy it now) couple of tablets for 150GBP which is ~60GBP less than the original market price. Are there any known problems or maybe B stock?
Thanks for your help

Its because most people don't know about third party roms or sites like this, and the stock operating system is very restricted so most people don't like it.
Also it seems quite common that a lot of people seem to give these as presents but most people don't want them so they sell them.

Thanks for your response! Sounds like a logical reason for the private sellers but there seem to be lots of professional ones who are selling couple of tablets for these cheap prices

I bought the 32gb version from the Amazon market place for £170. It was brand new in a sealed box, no idea why it was so cheap but I'm very pleased with it now CM10 is up and running

Thank you very much! So CM10 is running completely stable now?

I believe it's because University Students within the UK can get the tablets for free, via their bursaries. The bursary cannot be transferred into cash, and can be used to purchase books, or an eBook reader (yep, you guessed it - a Nook HD or HD+). I purchased a Nook HD+ using my bursary, and have gifted it to my dad, after Rooting and GAPPS.
I purchased it for £270, but on eBay they sell for cheap for the reasons listed above. But selling it that cheap is the only way these University students can convert their bursary into actual cash. I'm a university student myself, and it happens all the time. But I don't buy and sell these, I'm actually trying to save my bursary. I've only purchased on Nook HD+ for my dad, and that's it.
That could be one reason. You may find that a lot of the tablets are located around Manchester, Greater Manchester and/or Lancashire. If so, then I'm pretty sure I know which uni. If not, then it may be from another university, or nothing related to university - just a genuine seller.

Thats interesting, I've noticed lots seem to appear from Manchester. Are they uni's doing something different from others ?

Just to chip in, I got my Nook HD 8Gb (not HD+) for a bargain price of £80 buy it now on eBay. A full 50% discount on RRP over here. Seller didn't say why he was selling, nor why his BIN price was so low. I would guess that like others have said, B&N just isn't a properly recognised bookseller over here, and sellers might guess that buyers will be put off by a non-Amazon device.
Received my device on Tuesday afternoon, by the evening I was running CM 10.1, thanks to all the good work by bokbokan. People are missing out because these devices make cracking tablets as well as ereaders.

Thank you very much for your comment. That sounds like a very logical reason! Actually I'm a student in the UK as well but unfortunately only as an exchange studend for 2 terms. I guess therefore I wont be eligible for any if those bursaries. I think I will just buy one of these tablets on ebay and go with CM 10.1 ! Why don't you use a Nook HD+ for yourself ?

CM10.1 is very stable on the HD. Not so stable on the HD+ since there is only one preliminary build for it.

New Nook Color May 24th?

According to Engadget B&N (from SEC 8-K form) will be releasing a new Nook on May 24th. Anyone know anything you must tell me, I have to know!!!
Oh noes, not more Nook rumors!!! B&N is slowly turning to Apple.
Seriously, I haven't heard, but that means less than nothing.
when you file it with the Securities and Exchange Commission, rumor is really not the appropriate word.
This is just a guess, but I would bet it is a larger eReader similar to the Kindle DX. I mean really the Nook Color, for what it is designed for, is already hardware overkill, (I mean seriously...its an eReader regardless of what we are doing with it) so even IF its a new color model it will probably be less powerful than the current model to keep the price low.
Anyway...in summary...I'm thinking 10" Nook. Probably eInk.

I agree with this. I am sorry, but people, the nook color only really hit stores in November.. in no way is it ready for replacement.
Now, I CAN believe that the original nook could be getting a replacement. Not everyone want an LCD eReader, and the classic nook is old enough that it is a due for a replacement.
I'm pretty sure they just launched a new ad campaign for the current NC. It'd be odd to be coming out with an updated model at the moment.

B&N first needs to see what Amazon will do with their color reader anyway.
BTW thanks for resurrecting HC for Nook.

Ditto
My Nook 3G isn't the greatest e-ink reader - good but not great. I'd swap it for a Sony reader if I had money to burn. I was wondering when they would release a new e-ink Nook.
Perhaps it might be a 3G Nook Color?
although I'm leaning towards it being a new e-ink version of the somewhat out-dated nook.
We shall all wait and see
Just about everyone has been selling the original nooks (e-ink version, new and refurbished) at seriously discounted prices over the last few months. I believe B&N has been trying to clear out their stock in preparation for a replacement to the original nook.

Absolutely. Sub $100 everywhere.
*maybe* we get a color e-ink Nook based on Mirasol tech or something. Would be great for comic books and kid's books. That's about the best we can expect.
I'm betting on a 10" NC.
new Nook?
Hope so.. I think now that B&N have an apps store for their current NC, I think they want to go the whole hog like amazon..
Thankfully I just put my NookColor order on hold

You are silly if you think it is in any way a Nook Color replacement. And I really don't see them bringing out a 10" either...

B&N filed a form 8-K which states:
"In a meeting with investor analysts on May 4, 2011, Barnes & Noble, Inc. (the "Company") indicated it expects to make an announcement on May 24, 2011 regarding the launch of a new eReader device."
An announcement regarding a launch is not the same thing as a release of something new.
Most of you know much more of the technology behind this than I ever will, but from a business standpoint it's unlikely that this new eReader would be an upgrade to the NC. Based on what I do know, it's more than likely an upgrade to the Nook Classic with e-ink pearl at a lower price point.
Well since there is only a 14 day return policy and I bought mine last saturday, I guess I am taking mine back this weekend and will wait for the announcment.

Really...? You are really going to return a new, working device, on the possibility that they are replacing it, despite the fact that the device is barely 6 months old, has just received a major software update(froyo and new kernel), and still has no serious equal competition?
Or ignore the fact that the classic nook has been going on clearance all across the US, including online, and that it is the classic nook, not the color, that is due for replacement?
What a sad waste of good hardware..
If the 24 May release is not what I want I will re-buy the NC since I like it. But If the new device is better then I am stuck with an outdated device and $250 because of the 14 day policy. It is the cost of the company doing business, I am sure it will be one of their manufacture refurb units on ebay for $225 in a few days.

I know this sounds horrible but now I'm secretly hoping that the update is an unrootable NookColor that immediately replaces all existing stock. Good luck!
I don't see the big deal. The company makes the rules of 14 days. I play within their rules.

(Outdated) If a New Nook Color comes out May 24 will you trade up?

Just curious to see how many people would "trade-up" to the newer model *if* (very small chance I know) B&N announces tomorrow that they're releasing a faster and more full featured tablet/reader.
I'm of two minds about it, if it ends up being a new NC (which I doubt myself) that is better than the current NC, it'll probably cost $50-100 more, in which case why not just get one of the dedicated tablets out on the market? (Or wait for Amazon's quad core Hollywood tablet..)
What do you think?
I would wait for Hollywood, hell even Coyote. I don't really have money to just throw around myself, so even if they did release a newer Nook Color, I doubt it would be a big enough difference in performance or features to make me go buy it tomorrow.
In fact, with the possibility of Hollywood being only $450 at launch and from amazon (who you know is going to go out of their way to make sure they have plenty in stock) I may not even trade up to the Iconia or Transformer this fall like I had wanted to.
Which kind of sucks since the wife wants a Nook color now. (Was going to give her mine...)
Supposedly (PCMag article) Amazon "might" be pricing the 7-inch Coyote tablet a $349 and the 9.7-inch Hollywood tablet at $449 (assuming lowest storage price). If Amazon throws in free 3G for apps downloads I'm sold (doubt it though since their cloud computing mp3/streaming video would end up costing them a pretty penny with free 3G).

its a cheap tablet, only cost 169$, so cheap that it must have cut down many hardware inside it.
Very nice, I'm very pro supporting BN so if their new reader has decent battery life, I'll probably buy it over the kindle in the near future.
Engadget just posted that B&N are now selling the old Nooks for $99 on eBay.

The engadget article states 2 months on a charge.
here is the article about the new nook:
***.engadget.com/2011/05/24/barnes-and-noble-announces-new-nook/
Doesn't sound like it has a lot to recommend it compared to nc, but we can still spend a few days speculating if it will boot from SD card... perhaps there are some applications where a "paperback" android device would be useful, especially if the disaffected sell them lightly used in the $100 range.
Press release says nook color now $169 list. Time for a second one to play with!
http://news.cnet.com/8301-30685_3-20065678-264.html
EDIT: Went to the blog of the news conference and the reporter was wrong. NC is not lowered in list price! It is the 3g version of the old original nook that is $169. Bummer.

Correction, the original nook 3g is now 169. nook color is unchanged.
Touch screen e-ink? 80% less flashing (supposedly)? sd card? I'm sold. I wonder how long it takes to get it hacked and someone throw as a browser on there. e-ink touchscreen browser, even if just black and white, aounds very intriguing to me. Especially if it's better than the kindle's experimental browser.
this also assumes bn didn't take the hint from the first nc and locks the thing down like a bunker. Not to say there are some great devs out there but it would severley limit progress. This comming from a droid 2. Locked bootloaders =
I'd stay where i'm at right now. Working on saving money for a true tablet, but i like my NC as it is with HC now.
Why trade up? The Nook Color does everything I need it to do... IN COLOR. Running CM7 or phiremod is the icing on the cake...

Are you guys wrongly comparing Brand-new NC vs. Refurbished NC?
Amazon tablet has nothing to do with those price-dropping NOOKC.
If the brand-new NC is dropping price then it's legitimate to say because of the impact of the Amazon tablet, this is not, this is refurbished, people.

I have 2 that do not look at all to be anything but new. I suspect that B&N is flooding the market and you may get new or refurb. Have you ever seen any tech gizmo that was this popular and had this many refurbs floating around? Unless you have some solid inside info from either Amazon or B&N I take your advice as simply an opinion.

the nook color price hasnt dropped, its been $249 for a while now
the nook color refurbished price has dropped, from $225 to $169.
the reason for the glut of refurbs? no idea/opinion.
is B&N reselling refurbished NC's for cheaper and cheaper, an attempt at saturating the channel before amazon releases their tablet(s)? perhaps.
i got mine about a month or two ago for $189 from b&n through ebay; so could read books, comics, study, and do light surfing (reading the tech news). i only got it b/c i could root it, which i did via microSD card and run android/CM7. my wife has been "borrowing" it during the day to read books while at work (she is a nanny). she also will be "borrowing" it to read books when she stays home with our first child, in the fall. she finds being able to read a book with one hand and turn the page with a finger MUCH easier, especially when holding a baby. she loves the quality of the screen and is getting used to the touch screen interface.
will any other tablet de-throne the NC for the sub $200-250 tablet market segment - only time will tell. competition is a good thing for all consumers. i look forward to new tablets, but i will probably stick with my $250 investment (NC, 16gb microSD card, silicon cover, screen protector, neoprene bag) for at least 1-2 years unless anyone comes out with a tablet that is as fast as my workstation/desktop for surfing for approx. $250, which will probably happen in 1-2 years at the rate we are currently moving. that, or the battery fails to maintain a charge after doing 50% drain every day. The question is, will tablets hit the metaphorical wall, as we did with computers and the current 3-4ghz processor "cap"? only time will tell.

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.

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.

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.

Buying Refurbished Nook Color

I have purchased two refurbished Nook Colors from B&N's Ebay site and they have both been perfect. Now my son wants one. There are some other sellers on Ebay selling refurb units. Are these the same as getting them from B&N? Has anyone had problems with any of the refurb units? A seller with the name NextWorth has them right now for $99.
I picked up a 3rd party refurb of the Nook Tablet without any issues. Just make sure you read the posting carefully to see exactly what they are selling you. Also make sure they have a good return policy and you should be ok.

'B&N via Ebay' was selling the 8GB Nook Tablets for $150 a few days ago.
In my opinion that is a better buy than a refurb Nook Color.
You get a dual-core processor plus the std. warranty.
Keep a lookout on SD and you will get lucky soon.
Here's the thread:
http://slickdeals.net/f/4490902-Brand-new-Barnes-noble-nook-tablet-149-FS
I couldn't look at the listing from NextWorth at work. Now that I have seen it, I see that this is seller refurbished. I think I definitely would prefer to get something that is manufacturer refurbished. There are some listings for $126 on Ebay, or I could get one at the local Microcenter for $135 if my son can't wait.
I just saw the post yesterday about the Nook Tablets for $149 and was going to go that route but they are no longer available. Again, it just depends on if he wants to wait longer to see if they become available again. We are going on a trip next month and he wants to have it by then.
I just bought 8 Nook Colors from Cowboom (all 7s) for $99.99 each and put CM7 RC2 on them, but they were for coworkers of my Wife and I. The $149 Tablet deal is where it is at, but these people wanted an Android tablet with an 8gb Micro SDHC and a TPU case for around $120.
Wow, 8 Nook Colors! You must really be spreading the word. I'm assuming you didn't have any problems with any of the ones you got from Cowboom. I had never heard of Cowboom before, it looks like an interesting site and appears to be somehow affiliated with Best Buy. I didn't know what you meant by the all 7's comment, but that appears to be a rating number on their site. Looks like the higher the number the better. I only saw 1 8, but it didn't come with a charger or cable to that would be a deal killer. I might see if my son wants to go this route if no other sales pop up this weekend. The tablet for $149 would be sweet but I am not holding my breath on that one showing up again soon. What are the TPU cases you mentioned? I would love to find a decent case with a multi position stand that does not cover up the speaker. I'm currently just using one of those rubber things that slips on it.

They are $99 again for the "returned" Nook Color on Cowboom
All 8 were fine. I put Mr.g666's CM7 RC2 on all of them, used the free LCD Resolution app to set the DPI to 220, overclocked to 1200mhz, and have had no complaints. So far I have probably put Android on 15+ of these. Everyone my Wife or I have shown it to wants one once they see it. I would look for a condition 7 with the charger. Some came in the original box, some didn't. You get 30 days from Cowboom but I think if you had a problem with it and asked real nice B&N would replace or repair it for you within a year of registering because they rely on you buying books and games (my opinion).
Office Depot has nook tablets for 199 with a 50 dollar visa gift card on sunday.
Picked up the tablet today and the Visa gift card is given in the store. Did not have to mail anything in to get it, but you do have to pay $4.95 to activate the stupid thing. Running CM7 from microSD and it seems to be working pretty well. If I reboot it, it boots into Nook mode. If I shut down, then power on, it boots from the microSD.

Can somebody confirm that we're able to run CM7 off uSD on the Nook Tablet?
Last time (last 2 months) I checked, can't just run off uSD on the NT.
Maybe I'm way behind!

I haven't tried anything else besides the CM7 off of uSD. This is my Son's tablet so I'm not playing around with it too much. I still haven't had the confidence to flash CM7 to my Nook Color's eMMC, plus it seems to run perfectly off of the uSD card so I've seen no reason to. As far as the tablet and CM9, I thought I read that hardware acceleration is not working on it yet so not really interested in trying that until development gets further along.

I was talking about both. I have 2 Nook Color's, and my son has the 8GB tablet. All of them are running CM7 off of the uSD cards and have stock firmware on the emmc.
