So what's their off contract price?

From the looks 549.99

I'm definitely not buying this from Sprint directly. Just found out from their pre-order that their off contract price is/will be $449.99, $50 more than the Play Store price. B.S.

It's actually $100 more than the play store since Sprint is only carrying the 16gb version which is $349 at the play store.

...and that's why "subsidised" phone prices w/an exorbitant (and next to useless) contract are a joke... Carriers make out like bandits on that ****, and I wonder exactly what you get for $50/m, Sprint is pretty crap around here datawise, coverage is OK for everything else but T-mo(have them for now, monthly) and Verizon(if they had sanely priced/useful plans I'd go Verizon, awesome coverage even WTF out in the boondocks of the UP) easily do better, hell even AT&T does better here although my sister's phone does ALOT of dropping.

Buy iPhone 5s for $200, easily sell it sealed for $650, get Nexus 5 32GB for free along with some change.

There's already at least one thread confirming this

Anyone have any experience on buying used textbooks on Amazon?

So it's time to buy some books for college, and this time I'm leaning on buying used ones on Amazon to save some money (it would cost me $450 when I buy new ones).
I have good experience from Amazon itself but I haven't purchased anything from a seller that's not Amazon. Should I just buy new ones on Amazon to be sure? Please post your experience if you have tried buying used ones.
I'm long past college age, but a couple of years a go I wanted to brush up on some elementary music theory. I ordered a college textbook that I had used previously, thru amazon, and like everything else I've ever ordered from Amazon, no regrets whatsoever.

Was the seller Amazon itself?
This is what I hate about education, the books are really expensive.

No ............
Oh, well I hope things go well because all the used books are not from Amazon.
Got a few. Just like ebay. You have buyer protection form Amazon.
Also What I did for 2 of mine was find the pdfs and put them on my iPad. No help now since I got dismissed. lol
I have ordered numerous books from amazon and other sellers on amazon and i was happy with them. Other thing is i also trade in my text books on amazon since they pay pretty good price for some text books. And other alternative is to rent books frok bookrenter / chegg / half. com
yup. Shipping was a lot. Texts are heavy as f***!

Yes I just sold my first textbook on eBay as well... I got 14$ profit and the rest are shipping fees (9~$) and eBay fees (1.5$~). I regret it.
Sucks to sell books online, I would recommend to sell it to second hand bookshops because that way you get more profit without having to pay for shipping fees.
As for buyers, online is most likely cheaper...

Oh and you can register as Amazon student for free and receive six months of free 2 day shipping... how awesome is that. For USA only...

I will quickly find myself on Ebay instead of Amazon for most case.
People seem to get better deal on Ebay more often than Amazon.
Just bought some. Check out bigwords.com. It's an aggregate site that scours every available website for the lowest overall cost for your books. Kind of like a kayak.com for textbooks.

Glad I got mine early!
Yeah, I checked a few days ago for the heck of it and it said "Ships in 3-4 weeks," but yesterday it started saying "Coming soon!" So ridiculous. I would have preferred they waited an extra month to stock-pile their units rather than proceed with a borked launch. Water under the bridge...
and, they're back..

Seems like they've only stopped selling the 16GB to the whiners in the US. Good so that other parts of the world get a chance. I'm in the US so don't nag me.

Troll fail. This is a US based device, as other countries don't even get to use the main reason the Nexus was even released: the Play Store.

True to an extent, but many countries do. (e.g. Australia)
I got mine at a local Staples. They seem to get small shipments in every week and not many people would think of them as the go to place to get the nexus.

Last Wednesday I ordered two 16GB models. The shipping status was listed as "ships 2 to 3 weeks"
They arrived Friday morning. Something is really out of whack with the status

thats BS i paid 58.60$ and its not coming intill Dec. 19 and i paid 3.99 for overnight shipping called customer service and apparently its coming from mc techy and it said sandisk so im not so sure how that happened but apparently it would cost them too much to send just one to warehouse versus a pack of them. thats why most are being backordered.

Sent from my often RMA'd Nexus 4, So that I can use the one I'm using now when I get the 6th and hopefully final one.
A few of the T Mobile stores in my area want $549 for it or $199.99 under contract.
No thank you t mobile

T-Mobile at it again Google must love them to give them phones when they still have so many orders to fill. Anyway your better getting one off eBay new for cheaper. Just joined T-Mobile and data is good and plan is cheaper. But there customer service is the worst I have ever seen and in some places calls drop or break up.
But coming from sprint were 3g data is horrible its an upgrade. I hope Google buys T-Mobile

[Deal Alert] New 32GB Nexus 5 (All Colors) $384.99 shipped, sales tax only in NY

Pulled a total impulse buy on a white 32gb Nexus 5 as I've always been eyeing this phone. I just ordered a Z1 LTE C6906 in white from Sony (Buy.com had them for sale for $285!! but went back up to over $500 in 24hrs) so I'll decide which one to keep and then sell the other
Buy on!

It's worth paying a bit extra to have the 1 year warranty go through Google instead of LG.
I am seeing them in my area go for 250 to 325 depending on the version on Craigslist in mint condition. Might grab one of these as a backup.

Personally I never keep phones more than a year so this doesn't really persuade my purchases. But thanks for noting that.

It is the same 1 year warranty when from Google or otherwise,it is LG's warranty.You get Google's effort in front which is worth something, but for us in California buying from Google is $444.90 delivered vs this deal a $385 delivered is 15% more than taking this dealer or LG's warranty. Given failure rates are low for N5 I don't see the justification for 15% higher.
