If you recently bought it from the Play Store, they give you 15 days to price match the current price if it drops.

Nexus 4 on eBay

Hey guys,
Just wanted to share:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Google-Nexu...ocked-GSM-Phone-4-7-True-HD-NEW-/181030542181
I just bought one, price is lower than most of sellers, only 1 left! Hopefully I like it more than my s2! :good:
that's expensive D:
You are an idiot for purchasing that. Sorry.
I cannot buy off of Play store, or from local stores, since im from South America.
It was not a bad deal, I sold my s2 for $400 =D
Damn I sold my s2 for 260 with accessories, you got a great deal

That was a bad decision... Hope you like it though.. I love mine and it cost a lot less and is 16gb...

A lot of people on ebay are profiting like crazy because they were able to buy like 6-7 phones. Sucks for us users that either got on the back order list or didn't get one. Google should have limited to 1-2 phones per address. If you cant buy locally then thats fine.
If I wasn't able to get mine from the play store I would have paid up to 450 for the 8 and 600 for the 16

Yea, I got a prime for it, but it is always the same. The phone I owned before my s2 was a bb torch (1st gen) which I sold for $380 and bought the s2 for $420. You'll be amazed on how much we pay for techology devices over here (Ecuador).
The s3 is around $900 atm, lol, (with contract for 1-2 years)

lol, it is not mine, thought this info was probably important for some.
Hopefully you do not have an issue with it. As soon as Google has them back in stock these greedy eBay sellers will wither away..
Kind of ticks me off that Google did not set limits or if they did they set them too high.

Issue as...?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Issue as your phone being damaged or not working..I don't believe Google honors a warranty made to someone else which leaves LG meaning you would most likely be without a phone for weeks.
You have to ask yourself if out would be better to wait a week or two or pay more and take a risk. Keep in mind that when ever we buy like this from these people it only encourages them to do it more.

BS "8 available / 27 sold"
It looks like some were able to order a lot more. I think this is total BS! It would have been awesome if no one would buy one off of ebay for these ridiculous prices and let the seller be stuck with them.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Google-...0979603390?pt=Cell_Phones&hash=item19d6e65bbe
WHY?
You just got ripped off buddy
500.00 on Ebay is a fair markup. You figure the phone from the Play store will be around 375.00 - 400.00 after tax and shipping. The seller will make a 100.00 to 125.00 profit.

Not even that much. You have to factor in eBay costs and PayPal costs. I recently sold a pair of ice skates and I got hit with over $40 in fees.
So you figure my 16g n4 came to me for around 400 from Google. That means in order for someone to make any profit they need to sell it for at least 450.
With that being said posting it for $500 is not unreasonable. They are making like $50-60 bucks profit. I think that's fair for the effort of posting it etc.... I loath the people selling it for $800+ however. Just my .02

is there some kind of service that would buy it for you within the US and send it? I've been thinking about using TOR to access the play store to buy it, but I want to make sure there aren't any other methods to bypass google's country restriction
for those in the US, can you see if the bumpers are in stock again as well?

yup back in stock, finally is after almost 2 months. place my order at 12:23pm est. glad i was off today. rather get it from google than to pay more through t-mobile, bestbuy or wirefly for a no contract. had no ordering issues through google either. just hope it ships in 1-2 weeks as it describes. good luck for everyone wanting this phone. hopefully everyone gets it who wants it this time and no more out of stock notices.
Hopefully they won't announce Nexus 5 just after I bought Nexus 4.

ALL Nexus 4 owners should get a free bumper

I think since now Google decided to include a free bumper with every N4 purchase, we who bought our devices before the promotion should also get one free bumper!! It's only fair, given all the trouble we all had to do in order to get one, if at all!!
I'll take a white one, please!! I want a zebra N4
And everyone that bought the iPhone 4 for $200 when it came out should get reimbursed.... Come on man why so greedy?

And every person that just got a free bumper case with their new device will be complaining 2 months from now that they just got their phone and Google is getting ready to release a new phone. Now they are stuck with this old technology. Its just not fair.

I don't mean to twist the knife but I just ordered my phone Thursday. Saw I was getting a bumper and said 'huh. I won't even use it'.
Such a nonsense
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
In Spain they haven't included the free bumper... Anyway, I think that would be better reducing its price than giving it for free.
I just want to be able to buy the white one that isn't fake.

I bought my nexus 4 two days before they announced the white version and the bumper promotion. Needless to say I was a sad droid.

i bought mine off amazon...slightly used for just over $5...totally worth it...and it looks nice
You ordered your phone and you got stiffed for a bumper or w/e...that sucks as does life. But, look on the good side....you receive a premium phone (imho) for 400 bucks, if only they had Apple or Samsung marketing wits....
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
The bumper's only about twenty bucks, if you really want it, just suck it up and buy yourself one. Plus, if you've had the phone for a month you'd probably already have a case already. If the 20 + tax + shipping or w/e is too much, just go for the Poetic bumper, it really is amazing.
Lol.

Whos Selling Their Nexus 7 to Upgrade?

I have an 8gb WiFi model, and would like to upgrade.
I could get $55 from GameStop for it, although I will see if any friend would buy it for maybe $85.
Any ideas?
I will buy someones 8gb for $50 if its still in good shape. I have a feeling the price will plummet on the older versions once the new ones are released.
They are already selling for as low as $100 on swappa. I'd imagine they will drop further ones the 2nd gen is released.
Id def buy a 1st gen for $75 for my son to play with, to keep him off my 2nd gen of course. Our nook color isn't cutting it anymore.

I'm going to wait and see the specs, and if 4.3 will help with the lockups and lag in my current Nexus. While better, the specs leaked have been kind of weird.

I'm still on the fence about upgrading. I just bought my N7 about 2 weeks ago BNIB for pretty cheap so I'm a little late to the party.
Besides some QC issues the original N7 has been good to me so far

Phone is def priority, but if the N7 specs are true it will be a huge upgrade. Sure its still going to be vanilla android and do all the things your current N7 does, but it will be much much faster.
If I had a 1st gen I probably wouldn't upgrade either, besides a boast in specs, its not like the 2nd gen has any must have features over the 1st gen.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Given the price point, I'm liable to sell and upgrade.
Gonna keep, the n7 is so cheap you can't get much money for it.
if i sell my 32gb wifi i think i'll only get 120 euro's for it (payed 195 for it)
so if i upgrade (it's a big if, becausen i only got this one just a few months) i gonna give my old n7 away for free (proberly to my parents)
I have 2 I threw up for sale on Swappa last night
One is Brand new never used and the other is mine that is prestine. Asking $175 for either and got nothing yet.

Galaxy Gear price dropped to $239.99 on Amazon.

The price has dropped to about $240($60 cheaper than before) on the gear. I just noticed this today. BTW Best Buy will match the price if you show them in the store. Is this a sign of a slow down or a planned successor? Who knows... Just thought I would pass it along. 20% off makes the price much easier to swallow. :thumbup:
