Gotta hate these stupid resellers

Come on, Nexus 4 official price is listed as 299$ and 349$, yet people are all charging up to double that price! Google should do something about it, it hinders Nexus 4´s sales. I understand them the first few weeks, where everyone is all crazy about the latest and greatest, but it has been over 2 weeks now...
I know, they can sell it at whatever price they please, but the Play Store should at least limit the volume sales. I know, me whining won´t change anything at all. Just wanted to get my frustration out.

Most of the resellers on eBay bought 3 to 5.
I would probably do the same thing in two years when a new phone comes out.
It's really profitable if Google screws up again.

What do you think they can do, exactly?

Someone in Istanbul bought 2 in the US, is using one he bought, and selling the other (8Gb) for $800.
Yeah NO THANKS.

I'm sure there are some people who were planning on keeping their device but in the face of a little profit decided to throw their item up for sale. That's what I did to both my Nexus 4 8GB. The are up to $500 on Ebay so I was content on waiting whatever amount of weeks that it takes for them to restock.

It all about cash flow I got about $2000 in my phone fund and have a few phones if I paid cash for every one I wouldn't to up grade as often as I do.

Not to be the one who says it, but that's sort of a **** thing to say. Not everybody has $700.00 to drop on a phone all at once. A lot of people are basically financing their phones when they go through a carrier anyways.

+1 Even if you did why would you not want to pay it off interest free for 18 or 24 months make better sense.

I gotta agree with this guy. I understand zero percent financing and all, but for someone to pay for the phone with PayPal credit is outrageous. Its like 27% interest.

BillMeLater turned into PayPal Credit. They still offer no interest for 6 month deals, but its not a blanket offer like BillMeLater was. There are inclusions, exclusions, and tons of fine print.
BTW, I overstated. The fine print for the APR reads:
"The Annual Percentage Rate is 19.99%"
(which is still outrageously high)

My last two phones I brought full price from T-Mobile. I brought a Samsung Note 3 and The phone I have now LG G3. I just didnt want to pay full price this time around.

I've ordered stuff on PayPal credit and I always get 6 months no interest no matter what. I pay it off way before that anyway so it's not a big deal.
So what if you finance it through Motorola if you are good with money you pay it off.

Just use T-Mobile and finance.
G3

You can't finance through PayPal unless the seller accepts PayPal. I could be wrong but I don't think the Play Store does. Verizon doesn't or any of the other carriers. Your only shot is Motorola if and when they decide to. Unless you can pick up a new one on EBay or Swappa for a reasonable price. You know how that goes guys say they are new but there not + no warranty unless you get a carrier to honor it.

I didn't mean to sound like a jerk when I posted that response last night. If you have 0% interest for 12 or 18 months and you pay it off without getting penalized for late payments or whatever, it's a good deal. On the other hand, if you are planning to pay off the phone with a credit card that charges a ridiculous interest like 10 - 30%, I would agree that it's not a wise choice. In the end, it's really none of my business to tell anyone how to purchase a phone. Sometimes, if you want the latest and greatest phone, you'll do just about anything to get it.

[Q] Not being charged EIP?

Ordered my note 4 about 2 weeks after it's release. I've just gotten what I think is my 5th, at least the 4th, bill. I've yet to be charged an EIP payment. It even says there is no EIP on the account. Is it possible TMO screwed up and gave me a free phone? I know I've had plenty of screwups with them before, just never on the positive side for me. Anyone else ever have an issue like this? I don't want to bring it to their attention if they don't know, that's be dumb. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this?

Wow, this is an interesting one. I work at tmobile. I can tell you that you would have signed an EIP agreement when you purchased the phone if you got it in store. This agreement would show how many payments you are making over the next 24 months for the phone. If you never got one of those, and you have a receipt for the full price of the phone, i think you should take the money and run haha, that sounds like a free phone. If you wish for someone to check the account without charging you for the mistake - I can give it a little overview when I get in today at 1pm PST - you'll have to PM me tho, these are private matters and I still need to follow the rules haha.

Haven't been on in a while but wanted to come back and say this is now my 7TH bill! No EIP payment anywhere. What the hell do I do? I wonder if it has anything to do with me being a customer back when phones were subsidized still? Just very strange and don't want to bring it to their attention if I don't have to, they've screwed me before so...
BTW, I didn't pay full price only the taxes when I ordered online, I believe I electronically signed an EIP but no receipt for full payment obviously though. It does show on the TMO website as being available for use with them, which, it obviously already is.

Worth a try. Check the imei on their website to see if it says anything about it being owed. Or on my tmobile under billing. It shows what phone you have financed and how much you owe and paymemts left.

It says in billing I have no EIP on this account. Maybe I'll pick up the Gear S just to see what they say about the EIP and to play with it for a few days. Hmm..

I think the same thing just happened to me. I Pre-Ordered the Galaxy S7 Edge on T-Mobile, and it arrived on February 29th. I have now received my 2nd bill and they still haven't charged me for the phone, and the account doesn't list an active EIP on my line.
If I went to the phone section to try an upgrade it said "You are a Jump Customer. You are ineligible to jump because you have no Active Equipment Installment Plan" Since they said I couldn't jump I proceeded to take Jump off of my line and the next day when I go to the same page, there is a large "Upgrade" button next to the picture of the S7. Is that basically a confirmation that I own this phone and T-Mobile screwed the pooch?

Screwed by the Fine Print: Can't Use Google $50 Credit at the Google Store

I hurried to order my 5x in order to get the $50 Google promotional credit, thinking I could use the credit balance to purchase from the Google store the USB-C cables I knew I would need.
Today, I went to order my cables, and the store wouldn't let me check out, saying "invalid payment method."
I went back to the offer, and in the fine print on the terms it says: "Items ineligible for purchase using promotional balance include certain subscriptions (see the Help Center for more information), as well as items in the Google Store." (emphasis added). You can only use the credit to buy intangibles, not actual things.
I feel ripped off, like it was a cheap bait and switch. Was I unreasonable to think I could use a Google credit to buy things at the Google store? You can use the Google credit from their marketing questions (Google opinion rewards) at the store. I don't need any games or movies, but I do need new cables.
That's my rant.

This has always been the case.

pretty sure it is google PLAY credit, not google STORE credit. so no, you won't able to spend play credit at the store.

I discovered that as well. Google Play credit, regardless of whether it was from this promo or the Opinion Rewards, cannot be used at the store. I called customer support to see if it could be applied to the type C wall charger they sell, and they wouldn't budge. Oh well.

I'm not happy that I can't use the balance on a charger, but I'm also not surprised. Physical equipment costs them a lot more than apps.
With the right cables, you can get away with using an older charger and a minimal difference in charge time. Most of those cables cost way less than google's quick chargers on the store.

You'll get an email to redeem the offer from the Googs. If you don't (say within a week or 2) I'd contact customer support

If you are a Play Music subscriber you can use it to pay that subscription, I was able to switch my recurring payment method to my Play credit balance.

I'm pretty sure you had to order by the 25th to get the play store credit.
To the OP, how can you feel ripped off for something you got for free? Entitled much? It's said for play store use only since the beginning, it's your own fault for not reading. Everything has fine print these days.

Yeah it definitely was the 25th. Any free money is good money. Paid for Nova Launcher prime for me!

Picked up Ellie Goulding album with some of my credit. I also had a promo for half off an album so total cost was less than $9 Play credit

I ordered mine on the 18th of October and had to call Google about the credit. It turned out there was an email with a redeem code. I bought nova prime as well! Love it.
And yes it's just Google play apps, BUT, if you're into dating apps, you can use the money towards ok cupid I know for sure but maybe some others as well. That's a plus as I'm trying to buy apps, but now I can't find any worth buying except nova launcher prime of course!

no promotion?

I have yet to see any promotions for pre order. I have fi. The only thing I see is done free youtube music. Maybe this is because everyone complained when the pixel 4xl went on huge sale around Christmas right after lunch. Post any promotions if you see them. Thanks.

And since I haven't pre ordered yet. It says sips November 9th. So I think it would be worth it to wait another month and get a way better price. Just my opinion.

In the UK we're getting Bose headphones worth £250 if you order before the 19th

I wouldn't count on much. With what happened last year and the pandemic I doubt we see good sale prices this year. Google might be struggling with production as is. We could see lack of supply.

Looks like it's across the board, all countries from any retailer including the Google store. They sell for $299 in the US so if you're in the market for some noise cancelling headphones this is a good deal.

I just don't know how google can compete when you can still get a more "top tier" phone for less with promotions. I will probably always stick with my pixels every year, but it's hard to get people to jump ship.

You can't call them so it will have to be online help. I don't suppose they will care one iota. I'm hoping for a BF promotion for the headphones and those purchased before November will automatically get them. But I'm not holding my breath.

This is the only nexus/pixel I haven't pre ordered. I think I could live with the smaller screen coming from 4xl. I just hate to upgrade, or downgrade, however you look at it, just to get 5g. If there were a solid promotion, maybe

I'm curious what the BF deal will be. Maybe $100 off? I seem to recall that Google gave early adopters the same $100 off when people complained that they bought not a month ago and felt betrayed. But I'm not sure. Google Fi did not budge an inch. I would have taken the headphones for sure but I would never have gone out and buy them. So did I really need them, probably not. Give me a phone with no gap and I'll take that as a gift.

I was one of the early adopters that complained and got the BF promo given to me as Google Store Credit. The reason why Google is able to do that is because the have/had a Buyer's Remorse in place. If they still have Buyer's Remorse then pretty much everyone in the US who gets the Pixel 5 can get a price match/credit. This was done via Google Store. As I remember Google Fi did not do anything for their customers.
