Why is the prices rising for this phone on Amazon?
Most likely because their stock is running low and demand is increasing

Because only resellers have them at this point and they're free to offer them at any price.

Are you sure? Motorola doesn't sell anything directly on Amazon.
For example the white 32gb model is being sold at 329.99, and says this "Ships from and sold by Talk-Time".
I bought the exact same model about a year ago for 249.99 and said "Ships from and sold by Amazon".
You won't find any ships from and sold by Motorola, Amazon or any other big retailer anymore.

As I've said in other posts... the Nexus 6 is still a quite relative phone to use. Save for battery life, there is little to distinguish the performance between this phone and brand new phones in day to day usage. I still use my White 64gb along with my Pixel XL.

Price on Amazon is always high, swappa is much better

Price on Amazon wasn't always high, especially when they were blowing them out last Christmas. New in box for between $199 and $299 (depending on both storage and when bought in the holiday season) is an excellent deal.

I'm so ready to buy this device but i need to know if there's a better alternative than buying from Amazon. Any advice?
Newegg also has it, I think for around the same price.
There are a few places, but, for the price, I would go with someone you have used before. There appear to be a few batches out with some screen issues.
I almost pulled the trigger a week ago, but now that some carrier in the USA "might" be getting it, I'm going to hold off til I can get one in the states, which should bring the price down hopefully for the online stores. I've never had an issue with Newegg, so other than a trusted source from Amazon, Newegg might be where I get one.

Rumor has it that the At&t version will be the same version in Korea with an inferior processor and LTE which doesnt help me since im not near those select areas. Newegg, unfortunately charges taxes in nj.
If that happens, like with the other at&t LTE sammy, I'll just say screw it and get the single button ones online

The shop has all my trust, Im costumer of they since 4 years.
They only provide warranty on malasya so in case of warranty you need to send it to they.
But you can buy a warranty on squaretrade or something like that
Its best if you buy from a local retailer incaase you get unlucky with the panel lottery.

Okay...I've been drooling over this phone for the past few weeks. I'm almost ready to pull the trigger...but I'm looking for the least expensive but most reputable online dealer to make my purchase. I'm in the USA so it would have to be imported.
Suggestions? Experiences? Warranty issues? I'm all ears. Let me know what your experience has been with the different online retailers.

Good Point! eBay is probably the one place I haven't looked! Thanks man!
Amazon has a few sellers offering them for around 650. they're also fulfillment so you get free 2 day shipping.
I'm also getting ready to pull the trigger.
If you're just looking for a cheap price, eBay has Australian Notes on sale, which I think is the cheapest of them all due to currency fluctuations.
Anybody know of a seller that does international shipping that has a REALLY lenient return policy? I tend to have horrible luck with displays and don't want to get stuck with one with defects (I once had to return five LCD monitors in a row because each one had more than two dead/stuck pixels! Also, my current Cellphone, a Streak, has an always-on stuck red pixel).
Given the fact that AMOLED screens slowly develop defects, I would really like to find a seller that offers 14+ day return policy with little or no expense on my part, in case I end up making multiple returns.
I found this in another thread but Integrontech has them for $650 also. Here's the link: http://www.integrontech.com/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-N7000-16GB-Unlocked-Black-p/sam-n7000.htm
I've never used them...so I'm not sure how reputable they are.
I did buy my i9100 from expansys USA and it was perfect! Fast shipping. Never had any trouble with the hardware...so I never dealt with the warranty part. But my experience with them was very good.
Might pay to be a little more patient, I'm thinkin' there will be at least another 50 drop post Christmas.
Just a thought and I could be wrong so...
Be nice to use that extra savings towards accessories though IMHO
When I first started lookin' I couldn't find one below 730.00 so if I can get one for six I can that custom leather case I want and break even there.

Hello! Link please
I've got friends who would buy this for me in either India or Australia.
Where would I have either one of them shop in their respective countries to get me one? Is it worth it, plus shipping, or should I just drop $650 on Ebay? I mean, from what I saw the exchange rate, 35,000 Indian Rupees (MSRP) is $660.

+ there is no warranty on international phones imported to U.S. because the official U.S. versions are the ones sold by the damn carriers via at&t , verizon etc.

Yeah, I saw that, but the arrival date was in 2012.
Newegg had free 2-day shipping (shoprunner free year trial) and I had a $20 coupon from google.
So, $679 and I'll have it Monday. Plus there is a free charger thingy thrown in, so that's a plus.
I just really hope my unlimited data isn't f-d around with after putting my sim in...

Doesn't the GT prefix indicate the IMEI will be considered a tablet? Some listings omit the GT prefix...I think these are the Polish/Netherland version that doesn't flag ATT as a tablet...
Hmmm...it appears the white one is going for $800 still, while the black(ish) one is $650ish. I'm debating on importing 5 or 6 of these to see if I can pay for mine.
Thoughts?

Crazy that Google are allowing this!

We can only hope that anyone buying a SIM free N5 knows what the RRP is from Google (it's in stock on the Play store anyway) and won't be drawn in by this ridiculous pricing that's floating around on O2 and eBay!
Im on their 'Refresh' plan was thinking of upgrading even though i only just got my HTC One in August.
Then i saw this!
£32 on 3G.
£12 for the tariff
£20 for the phone
32x24 = 768 plus one of fee of 49.99
£818 over 2 years
It's ridiculous. I was tempted to get a Nexus 5 from Carphone Warehouse until I found out that they only have 16GB edition. O2 have exclusivity on the 32GB and this allows them to get away with jacking up the price waaay up. Bad O2, very bad.

With a nearly new HTC One, provided you haven't damaged it you should be able to sell it for enough to get a N5 SIM free anyway.
I don't see how o2 can market this as an exclusive when Google is selling it too.. plus the price difference.
Rip-off, plus you end up with a phone hobbled to O2

I read that O2 have exclusivity for 32GB GB on the UK high street, ie not online.
So quite possible it will be available via amazon.co.uk. I'm gonna wait and see and if so buy via amazon as I think I then will have better customer service should I need to return it if its faulty. I know you can return to google but I feel happier dealing with amazon when a physical item is being posted to me.

I ordered two with the intent of doing this, but availability is so much better than the N4 with it being sold in almost every UK phone outlet.
I think the eBay sales are coming from countries where it isn't available just yet and the hassle of sending there is never worth it for me.
Strangely, since they are the only ones selling the 32GB WIFI model apparently, that tablet is on sale this week for the same price as the 16GB. It had been selling at $549 and it is this week $499.
There were three other folks in line for customer service when BB opened yesterday to do the exact same exchange.
So....I returned my 16GB and exchange for the 32. I told them I would take the same $50 price reduction they were offering on the 32 but they said they weren't able to do that. Makes no sense since they will now sell mine as an open box unit at a $50 discount.
Wonder if they guarantee the price for a couple of weeks...just bought 2 32gb at 549.00 each...

Well turns out since I have the Rewards Card and have myself enrolled I could have waited up to 30 days if the sale price held that long. But the 1st unit was purchased 8/22 and its beyond 2 weeks by a couple days and they refunded 50 on each for me! So I bought a Logitech S keyboard.
I had Best Buy sale me a 32GB last Sunday at the $499 deal! I only paid $118 since I had some $100 gift cards I needed to cash in.
The 16GB model has been priced down to $449.99 in a lot of places as well.

Refurbs often are great deals....much depends on warranty. I see that the seller has raised the price from $399. At what they're asking for now one might as well buy new. Not really a "deal" anymore IMHO.
Looks like I took to long to pick up a 32GB Could White Nexus 6 for the reduced $299 price.
Is that deal still around anywhere ? I can't seem to find a "brand new" Cloud White for $299 anywhere in the U.S.
Its not white but it's a great deal

it will pop up again like he said mate, at first i was going to fetch it off eBay for 299$ it was a white one, but i wanted the midnight blue, and i didnt want to wait until they have the Midnight version back in stock again and i had thoughts that they could sell me a refurbished one,
so i just went on ahead and bought my midnight blue off amazon for 349$, and my bad luck i am now dealing with a defected screen , its not that bad , but it is annoying.
good luck with your purchase , you wont regret buying this beast.
( looking at your history of phones LOL i assume you already own one? and you know it is a beast of a phone, sorry it could be that your buying it for someone else, anyway good luck! )
If you don't want to wait Amazon has 32GB for $349 and 64GB for $399. That's where I got mine.
If 64GB interests you, they have the warehouse deal for $339 again, which is how I got mine. The one I received was an open box, but the device was mint condition. Sprint had some trouble activating it so Amazon swapped it for a new one at the same price, no hassles.

These are brand-new (at least mine was), in an unopened box.
Edit: Expansys is an outfit in Bloomington, IN. I didn't really have any issues with them, but I had ordered the Nexus 6 along with a turbo car charger and a Poetic case which were not immediately available. So they hung on to the Nexus 6 (which was available) for a whole week in order to be able to complete-ship the order. For part-shipments they are asking for $5. I got on the phone with them and read them the riot act about delaying the Nexus 6 shipment for $5. So they waived the $5 and shipped the Nexus 6 and I received the case and the car charger two weeks later. It's all good. Love the N6.
