So I'm attempting to buy an iPad to use it to show clients photos, instead of printing portfolios. So I turn to good ol' craigslist. Got 2 scam replies. I see they are getting more clever. lol.
#1:
Hey, sorry for the delayed response, but someone already bought the iPad and
picked it up. You might want to try and buy one where I bought mine at. It's
an auction site kind of like ebay that has quite a few iPads.
I am usually able to pick them up there between $130 and $160, I think it's so
cheap because the site is newer and there aren't many bidders yet. Anyways,
I'd recommend you shop there if your still in need of an iPad. The site is
called BIDSAROO.com. I just checked and it looks like they have one
ending soon and the bid is at $53 so far.
When I signed up they gave me this coupon to give to friends, but I haven't used
it yet. Your more than welcome to use it, but I think it expires tomorrow. It's
good for placing some free bids on any auction. The coupon is: free3042
Hope this helps you!
-Chad
P.S. Here is a little secret I'll pass on to you. Right now there is a glitch/hack
on the site that will allow you to block other people from bidding on the item.
When you place a bid, hold down the enter key until the auction counts down to 0.
This should allow you to win any auction instantly. But I'm not sure how long it
last, I'm sure the site is working on fixing the glitch/hack.

Hi, I am getting back to you regarding the 64GB 3G iPad from Craigslist
My name is Arianna and I am now in Wolverhampton, United Kingdom.
I am selling the ipad for $450 USD. I have attached some pics with it to this email.
The ipad is still available and I hope you are still interested. The ipad was bought brand new from Apple a few weeks ago.
About the ipad I can say it's in perfect shape, as I used it only for a few weeks. Included in the $450 price is everything that came with the ipad.
The ipad is here with me.
I tried to be as thorough as I could with the presentation so you can have all the info if you decide to go ahead and buy it.
Please get back to me and let me know if you like the ipad if you're really interested in buying it.
Thanks,
Arianna

"Included in the $450 price is everything that came with the ipad"
Your $450 gets you *only* what came with the iPad, not the iPad itself.
"the ipad is here with me"
They're just hoping you'll skim over that since it doesn't really make any sense, not until you get the first part anyway...
Deception is fraud, so even though it doesn't say you're actually buying an iPad what they're doing is against the law.
Well also I am in nyc so how would she sell it to me if she's in England?

gotta disagree on that, many user on xda for example put USD and EURO even tho they are in the UK. i do that on Ebay also.
Not being able to do it in person is generally a red flag for me that it's a scam. I couldn't care less if the message comes from the Queen of England.

Where the hell are you supposed to buy one of these in the UK?
The Asus website says to buy it at PC World who have nothing in store or on their website. Amazon UK don't have it and Amazon.de won't ship it. John Lewis don't stock it.
Laptops direct have it available but keep moving their shipping date. It's late November now......
I have the money and am ready to go. Come on Asus take it please....... :angel:
I know what you mean. Ive been searching google 5-10 times a day for somewhere in the uk to buy one. I'm wanting to replace my prime with one.
When you find somewhere please let me know.
Thanks

Hmmm tempted Let me think about it.
I keep watching on idealo in uk , seems 4 places have it now r for pre-order
laptops direct, bhs , debvenhams and amazon. good luck
I've been waiting months to get one too. Any idea why there is so much delay? Display shortages?
Expansys have them for pre-order.

In my experience they always get new products first but you pay a £20/£30 premium

Just pre-order so far.....
I found 2 on amazon.co.uk one is still unavailable and the other one is £469.99 but at the moment dispatch time is 1-2 months.
Because of under 10 post rule i can't post any outside links... or i don't know how.
The price gougers at Ebuyer have upped the price to £460.
I'm guessing most of people who wants to buy it are waiting because maybe price will drop after it will be available in more retailers then just a handful and for a pre-order.
Ebuyer have put the price back down to £429.
According to the website they are expecting a delivery on 9th Nov.

Can't buy the tablet alone.

Price is $399.99. Rebate is $50. I just placed an order. I'm excited.
Darn, that is a fantastic price. I wish I hadn't ordered from Amazon this weekend.
Here in Denmark it costs $630... I'm not going to order the TF701T from USA like I did with the TF700T, seeing as the keyboard wouldn't charge, and the charger couldn't be used here anyway... Lots of money to save though. It must feel good to be American sometimes...

Interestingly I took my TF701T to Japan and the dock wouldn't charge there. The unit would only trickle charge. This is with the official asus charger which is rated 100V to 240V.
Back home again and both work fine............
Yeah that is strange. :S I had to buy a DK charger for it, and it worked fine with the tablet, but the dock would just never charge.
Oh well, I accidentally wiped the damn thing when uninstalling the Ubuntu dual boot, so it's useless anyway, which is why I'm considering the TF701T. It's just so pricey here!

It's also $299 on Amazon. From Amazon Warehouse, it has been as low as $205, though the price is constantly fluctuating. It's currently $221. New Tegra K1/ Snapdragon 805 devices are on the way, so that's probably why the price is dropping.

Yep - just pulled the trigger on it for $299. I think this tablet at $299 is by far the best bang for the buck. I know new SD800 and Tegra 5 tablets are due out this year but the 701 at$299 is just a killer bargain!

It's under the "Used" section. If you pick one that has a description saying "Item is in original packaging, but packaging may come damaged" or "Item will come repackaged", then it should come in virtually new condition. Otherwise it will list minor cosmetic defects, "Small (less than ¼" x ¼") cosmetic imperfection on front of item". Just stick with ones that only mention packaging and the condition will likely be close to perfect. Right now, the price is $272 though, so you'll want to wait until it drops again. Amazon Warehouse is well worth the savings. I got a Sandisk 64 GB Class 10 UHS-1 last year for less than $20 when it then usually sold for $45. The only thing wrong with it was the packaging. Same with another flash drive I bought. Most items they sell are openbox with little or no damage to the product.
Whew! Best Buy literally sold out its unit while I was on the tf701 page. I quickly headed to Amazon where the price increased to 349. I quickly went to TigerDirect and quickly made an order for their 299 unit. True enough, when my wife checked out the tf701 on TigerDirect, it wasn't available all of a sudden.
Whew!
But what could have been the reason for the price changes and availability of the tf701 all of a sudden? Did an online vendor bought all of Best Buys cheaper units with the purpose of selling them again at a higher price?
Clarification: the 299 unit on TigerDirect is still available. The link my wife used might have been for another tf701 posting on Tiger.

I really had a hard time deciding to buy a brand new unit or go through Amazon Deals with units slightly cheaper. However, I prefer to err on the side of caution. I bought something, not on Amazon though, but with the same conditions you stated. That something conked out after a few months. LOL.

It's not worth it right now, but if the price drops to $200 again, it definitely will be. Never had any problems with Warehouse, but you could add a $44.99 Squaretrade Warranty to cover the product for a year if you wanted to be extremely careful.
Will definitely try the Warehouse in the future. Had to get the 299 one for fear of only the 349+ ones being available for orders. My wife is buying it for me as a birthday gift so all is well. LOL. Thanks for the advices!

Yeah it was a black Friday deal. It was up for a few days though. I recommended it to a few friends. It's pretty awesome actually. I'm on it right now. I read that the 5ghz wifi isn't enabled because of some fcc requirement so maybe someone knows how to enable it by running a kernel from the original version or something?

They have them back in stock now. They also added the more premium version with 64GBs of storage and a gold metal back for $370 if I'm not mistaken. Pretty sure this is the version that also comes with the high end earbuds. They also have the silver 32gb for $299. Honestly both are still very good prices for what you get. Only other tablet that is as premium is the iPad mini 4 and that's still double the price with nasty iOS.

Sorry, probably won't help you. I ordered from a local retailer in Switzerland and got the EU version.
