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...

Best buy through a relative for $100. Woot!!!

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.

Going to get a NC, but where?

The NC is $249 from best buy, B&N & walmart. Ya'll recommend any one place over the other?

Try Walmart as I hear they still have the pre new partitioned NCs, saves you trouble.

I got mine at best Buy because I needed to get an SD card at the same time. It really doesn't matter.

If you want to have the best shot at getting one with the old (non-sucky) partitions, try a walmart in a smaller town. If it's a slightly redneck town all the better, cause there's less chance that people are buying nook colors with any sort of regularity, so you're more likely to be able to get older stock.

Try craigslist. I've found some as cheap as $135. Some people got them as gifts and ended up getting Ipad
So they sell them cheap. Still in the box.

I got mine new/sealed in the box off Craigslist. Never saw a new/sealed one lower, but still.

If you don't mind a refurb Overstock.com has them for $225
But first go to overstock.com/coupons and click on the $12 off link so you get $12 off costing you only ~$216 shipped.
I would have linked to the pages except I don't have enough posts do that yet!
There was a better deal floating around with Overstock.com however the coupon code stopped working last time I checked. This is what I did and my NC should arrive Thursday.

If I meant $249 I would have said it.
The topic was refurbs, which B&N sells for.......

Ended up getting it through Walmart. Worked out best anyways, as their protection plan was half of what BB & B&N were ($20 vs $45 & $50)

Also try slickdeals.net...they recently had refurbed nooks for $180.

Refurbished Nook Color $199

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?

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.

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.
