Nexus 4 on eBay

Hey guys,
Just wanted to share:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Google-Nexu...ocked-GSM-Phone-4-7-True-HD-NEW-/181030542181
I just bought one, price is lower than most of sellers, only 1 left! Hopefully I like it more than my s2! :good:

that's expensive D:

You are an idiot for purchasing that. Sorry.

I cannot buy off of Play store, or from local stores, since im from South America.
It was not a bad deal, I sold my s2 for $400 =D

Damn I sold my s2 for 260 with accessories, you got a great deal

A lot of people on ebay are profiting like crazy because they were able to buy like 6-7 phones. Sucks for us users that either got on the back order list or didn't get one. Google should have limited to 1-2 phones per address. If you cant buy locally then thats fine.

If I wasn't able to get mine from the play store I would have paid up to 450 for the 8 and 600 for the 16

Yea, I got a prime for it, but it is always the same. The phone I owned before my s2 was a bb torch (1st gen) which I sold for $380 and bought the s2 for $420. You'll be amazed on how much we pay for techology devices over here (Ecuador).
The s3 is around $900 atm, lol, (with contract for 1-2 years)

lol, it is not mine, thought this info was probably important for some.

Hopefully you do not have an issue with it. As soon as Google has them back in stock these greedy eBay sellers will wither away..
Kind of ticks me off that Google did not set limits or if they did they set them too high.

Issue as...?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app

Issue as your phone being damaged or not working..I don't believe Google honors a warranty made to someone else which leaves LG meaning you would most likely be without a phone for weeks.
You have to ask yourself if out would be better to wait a week or two or pay more and take a risk. Keep in mind that when ever we buy like this from these people it only encourages them to do it more.

BS "8 available / 27 sold"
It looks like some were able to order a lot more. I think this is total BS! It would have been awesome if no one would buy one off of ebay for these ridiculous prices and let the seller be stuck with them.

WHY?
You just got ripped off buddy

500.00 on Ebay is a fair markup. You figure the phone from the Play store will be around 375.00 - 400.00 after tax and shipping. The seller will make a 100.00 to 125.00 profit.

Not even that much. You have to factor in eBay costs and PayPal costs. I recently sold a pair of ice skates and I got hit with over $40 in fees.
So you figure my 16g n4 came to me for around 400 from Google. That means in order for someone to make any profit they need to sell it for at least 450.
With that being said posting it for $500 is not unreasonable. They are making like $50-60 bucks profit. I think that's fair for the effort of posting it etc.... I loath the people selling it for $800+ however. Just my .02

i think people who bought massive amount of the phone solely for flipping deserves to burn in hell.

Insurance coverage

What insurance is everyone going to get for their One?
I preordered at Best Buy and it seems like their protection plan is much better than Sprint's insurance.

Love how the same questions and the same reply every time a new device comes out.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium HD app

Best Buy's protection plan is very nice, and right for the money. However, I'm in a different boat since I have a SERO-P account. I will need to stick with Sprint's TEP, which isn't a bad plan either. Just a little more expensive over time, and a little more of a headache getting what you need when your device is screwy. I've had TEP for at least 5 years now, and I've hardly ever used it, which is usually my argument with Sprint when I have to call them for a problem with the phone. But if something is wrong with it, I can usually take it into a Sprint store and walk out with a new one on it's way to my house next day. It's the phone support that's gotten worse over the years.

Best Buys insurance plan does not cover the phone being lost or stolen.

That is one downside to it.

ALL Nexus 4 owners should get a free bumper

I think since now Google decided to include a free bumper with every N4 purchase, we who bought our devices before the promotion should also get one free bumper!! It's only fair, given all the trouble we all had to do in order to get one, if at all!!
I'll take a white one, please!! I want a zebra N4

And everyone that bought the iPhone 4 for $200 when it came out should get reimbursed.... Come on man why so greedy?

And every person that just got a free bumper case with their new device will be complaining 2 months from now that they just got their phone and Google is getting ready to release a new phone. Now they are stuck with this old technology. Its just not fair.

I'm guessing they are free only because they keep breaking, gotta clear inventory somehow.

I don't mean to twist the knife but I just ordered my phone Thursday. Saw I was getting a bumper and said 'huh. I won't even use it'.

Such a nonsense
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

In Spain they haven't included the free bumper... Anyway, I think that would be better reducing its price than giving it for free.

I just want to be able to buy the white one that isn't fake.

I bought my nexus 4 two days before they announced the white version and the bumper promotion. Needless to say I was a sad droid.

i bought mine off amazon...slightly used for just over $5...totally worth it...and it looks nice

You ordered your phone and you got stiffed for a bumper or w/e...that sucks as does life. But, look on the good side....you receive a premium phone (imho) for 400 bucks, if only they had Apple or Samsung marketing wits....
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

The bumper's only about twenty bucks, if you really want it, just suck it up and buy yourself one. Plus, if you've had the phone for a month you'd probably already have a case already. If the 20 + tax + shipping or w/e is too much, just go for the Poetic bumper, it really is amazing.

Lol.

Very similar half the price I love it so far.

No. You didn't buy your phone during the promotion. It is only $20.00 for a bumper, go buy one.

How about we all get free hardware updates as well?

[Q] Price matching

Hey guys, trying to get the new note, without a contract. Anyone know the lowest cash price? I managed to get my 2 for ~650 shortly after it came out.

Check craigslist, some people are selling them for 550 to 600.

I buy from Craigslist all the time. Ask him to come to AT&T store and do the transaction there. Have a store rep help you swap the phones.

That's great advice.

I got mine from Amazon for $724.99. It's a prime eligible item also. It should be arriving today. Woo hoo!!! It's not a great price reduction considering that that is what the AT&T store had them listed at. At least I didn't have to pay tax or shipping. But AT&T said they would only sell me one if I bought a Galaxy Gear also. Ridiculous

I bought mine from Amazon as well with no problems. 725USD
(And I had an E970 Optimus G as my previous phone. Are you me? )

I got best buy to match my local corporate stores price at 724.99 make sure to mention your buying it out full and they should match it. If your not wanting to wait for it to ship.

I went to an At&t store to preorder the phone, they "couldn't let me just buy the phone outright (even thought the website has the option to) I preordered my note 3 from on the next program (which is pretty much still a contract in my opinion). With next you can pay off the phone anytime, so as soon as I picked it up from the store I paid it off.
I paid $665 total and had paid the tax when I went into preorder $42.
So about $707 total, which is much better than paying $724 without tax included.

Galaxy Gear price dropped to $239.99 on Amazon.

The price has dropped to about $240($60 cheaper than before) on the gear. I just noticed this today. BTW Best Buy will match the price if you show them in the store. Is this a sign of a slow down or a planned successor? Who knows... Just thought I would pass it along. 20% off makes the price much easier to swallow. :thumbup:

Yeah, unfortunately, I went to Best Buy this morning to get a price adjustment without checking first. Who knew it would only be for a freaking day?
