Two scammers in one day

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.

Best Buy trade-in still offering $250 and up for good condition N4!

I figured there might be some people that were looking to sell their N4 soon or were caught off guard by Google lower the price $100 and ripping that resale value away from them.
Apparently though BB trade-in is still offering:
$262 for perfect condition
$250 for good condition
Hope this helps :fingers-crossed:

I hate to come across as overly skeptical, but their FAQ mentions paying for return shipping on the devices, so I feel compelled to dig in a little deeper.
The SKU corresponds to this device: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/LG---Go...ile)/7408045.p?id=1218844837055&skuId=7408045 which is the 16GB model.

I dont really understand your logic here.. Do you expect the phone to stay at the launch price forever? Its not unheard of prices dropping if sales decline or new product being released..

I don't see why you got aggravated here but OP didn't complain. He just said what the truth is. Obviously none of us saw that coming from Google. Perhaps he made this thread for those who were skeptical about selling (before N5 launches) or keeping the device and if Google's decision of slashing the price made such people a little upset, they can use OP's link and take full benefit from it.

Just was simply trying to help those who wanted the info in case they were caught off guard with the price drop and didn't want to have to deal with selling their N4 for less via CL or something similar

^Anytime my friend.

I wonder how long BB would keep the trade in value at that worth...

After being blessed by the HOLO when I get a new HOLO device I actually give my old ones away, and spread the word of Matias Duarte
My friend was all like you know they sell this galaxy nexus for 500 on ebay. I told him "My lamb that is not a HOLO device that is a verizon one and is not recommended, take this and give me that HTC desire." I then I plus'ed Matias Duarte and we chanted HOLOYOLO together and burned that device to a cinder
True story
My parents loved the OG nexus 7's I gave them, want to talk about no resell value that right there

I wasnt aggravated.. just as I stated, no item sold by anyone will keep their current launch prices.. even cars, dealers see sale decline, they push out promos or lower prices... if you think Google will keep the phones at their launch prices, then you are naive (not really directed to you but to anyone who thinks this way)..
This is just my opinion... and leave it at that....

I gave mine back for $262 whohohwwwww!!!

They gave a gift card available to use instore.
The best thing you can do is you can purchase two visa gift cards for 5.95 for each because the max limit on visa card is $200
so what you can get $250 cash at the end
262 -6 -6 = $ 250
good deal for a 9 month old phone

Preordering?

So are we going to be able to purchase the phone directly from Google not the play store? All I have seen so far is carrier listings and I would rather buy it direct.
Thanks

Any idea on what time preorders start on Friday?

Hi, i heard that preorders are at the end of November, or 12th of November
Not sure yet. But i think we can order only Nexus 9 for now...

The pre-orders for the player start on 17, but the pre-order for 6 starts on 29.

late October for pre-order of Nexus 6

Awesome thanks everyone for the replies!

Google's website says pre-orders will be available Oct 29th

650 euros is significantly more than 650USD, ~530 is more of a fair asking price. I'll feel bad if someone pays 650 euros for a phone.

Price is not my concern but Taiwan is not in the 28-country lists.

[Q] Moto Care

Has anyone been able to get Moto Care for their Nexus 6 purchased through Motorola yet?? I don't see the option for it on the Moto Care page, and was told that it would be supported. And don't we have 30 days from when we received the device? Thought Moto would have this together by the time the devices started getting to people

According to their twitter it will be in the coming week.

Motorola also indicated that they will not support devices purchased from Google with MotoCare. They will only support direct Motorola.com purchases, which I think is rather ****ty since when I placed my order I did not know they were going to offer it direct.

One time, I think its $85. There is a deductible too if you need a replacement device. I think deductible is like $35.

When this phone announced, they said it will cost 420 usd, however when I search for it in all the big shopping sites, I can't find it in less then 506 usd, am I missing something?
