What's a decent price for a new or used G1?
Any deals out there?
Thanks in advance :]
Got mine from a friend for $100, ebay and craigslist, I'd say $150ish is a good price.
We’re still a week away from the Samsung Galaxy S5′s Australian launch, and the price-cutting battle between telcos, online stores and retailers is already happening. If you’re willing to wait a week or two for your new phone to be shipped over from Hong Kong, you can find a great discounted deal.
Millennius.com has the black 16GB SM-G900 Galaxy S5 for $779, as well as white — that’s the cheapest price we’ve seen online so far for an outright handset. Kogan has the same model for $849 in all four colour variants, as well as a $999 32GB capacity, but all stock has apparently already been snapped up. MobiCity wants $899 for the 16GB, but unlike Kogan is still taking orders. These phones will almost certainly be international units coming from Hong Kong, where prices are lowest for grey importers to source their inventory.
eBay prices are depressingly high; the cheapest you’ll find a 16GB model is $958 with free postage, and $1079 for 32GB. If you want to buy a discounted new Galaxy S5, you might like to have a look at Melbourne-based Millennius.
mobicity went from 899 to 849 then sold out. now its back at 899 lol.
never buying from mobicity again after my experience with my xperia z
EDIT: oh, this isnt a retailer, but there are S5s going for 699USD on ebay and it has free shipping to Australia. can't link here since im at school
Thanks for that, I will be buying one on the weekend from them after I get paid from work.

Hahah what the....
I dont think the ebay ones are legit when you have these companies that are selling them cheap compared to the big brick retailers.
I dont think you can go lower then them at this stage, there almost approaching the S4 price if ebay is legit which I dont think so

Eh I'll link it here later and I'll have a look at the seller reputation. But there is always PayPal so at least there is some sense of security on your side
EDIT: eBay link here. Seller looks pretty legit. http://m.ebay.com/itm?itemId=191122704936
EDIT: Looks like it is the 3g version too and doesn't have free shipping :/ could have sworn it did when i checked earlier today
$750 here in Pakistan.

Yes here exynos is official version. The price is bit surprising as note 3 was launched here for $830. I was expecting the $850 for s5.

yeah, here in australia the price of S5 is 849 to 899, S4 launched for 749 here i believe. :/
I pre-ordered mine from AT&T the other day. The no contract price is $650.
I found the Octa Core exynos cheap on Ebay ($650ish), but I want the snapdragon one.
I just went on millenius.com and it turns out they only do bank transfer and something else for payment.
no paypal option seems super shady to me..
I went to the local electronics store in Herzliya and they told me 2,600.00 shekel ($745.844) which is actually less than I thought it would be. I thought it would be more like 4000 haha.
Title says it all. Geek squad refurbished for 129.99 free shipping

Best deal I have seen in the US for the Gear. I got mine for $99 in Canada, but I also have to pay GSTs and shipping to the US.
@nviz22, keep in mind the one you got is brand new, while this one is refurbished. Though since its BB Geek Squad, these refurb'd units are most likely just customer returns.

All should know too that many times "refurbished" only means it was returned to the store without anything wrong with it. They cannot then sell it as "new", so they have to call the item refurbished. In the case of the Gear, where we heard it had a high return rate late last year, I would take advantage of an offer like this if you see it come up again.

Yeah, that's fine, but I am just saying that's been the best deal for the Gear in the US so far from what I have seen. It's a good value purchase at $130 anyways. For $300, the original price, not worth it. I chose the Gear 1 for the functionality and price. The Gear 2 only has a heart rate sensor and IR Blaster, which cannot vouch for a $200 price difference.
Pricing update FYI
Just thought I would post for those that are interested.
Amazon has the original Gear for 120.33 they are listed as used but they are being shown as Amazon Warehouse inventory which very often are customer returns. Free two day shipping if you are a prime member as well. Also eligible for standard return and refund policies from Amazon. Also this is for Jet Black.

No brainer? Will this work with my rooted Note 2?
With the custom rom, does it work with all phones now or still stuck with Sammy?

Just picked one up today from Best Buy's eBay site. $89 - $20 eBay loyalty coupon that splashed on the screen.
Could not pass up for $69.
Probably will sell it the instant the Moto watch comes out, but for now, it's a cheap toy!

$89
just bought mine for $89 today on bestbuy.com. i figured its features are worth 89 for sure. free shipping I might add.:good:
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...

If you bought it last week, yes. If it's more than 1 week, no.

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.

I took advantage of their offer they had for $50 gift card for any working tablet and got rid of a ton of them and some other electronic stuff and had enough to pay for my 32gig wifi tablet with ZERO out of pocket money (actually had some left over).. got a new tablet and got rid of some clutter in my house. .. a win win situation

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.
Staples presently has the Tab S 10.5 for $499. Get them to price match Best Buy at $399 (print copy from web). Then use the $100 off coupon in the flyer :http://weeklyad.staples.com/StaplesSD/WeeklyAd?storeid=2278485#!/ Have to do this in store. Was not able to get same deal online.
Was on the fence regarding this vs. the 32 GB version exclusive to BB. However at this price it is well worth it. FYI, they only have the Bronze versions in the store (at least in my area).
yeah i was on the fence too but that price is amazing. i will invest in a nice big SD card

I got it at that price +5 % rewards cash back, the manager gave me the Bronze one then I returned the white one to Walmart @ $379.00 previous price match but this deal is even better $299-15.00 =284.00 also I just pick up an other Chromecast for $25.00 on sale at the same store
Thank you
Wow did you have to pay tax on $499 or $299
Thank you op for the heads up. I just bought the tab s yesterday from best buy. I'm going there after work with the info and if they're unwilling to match it then I'll return it and get it at staples.

Tax was on the $299
I got it too for $299 and I have a free $100 gc making it $218 with tax. The override need miracle. YMMV on this! You might have to try different stores. Keep your cool and you might get it.
Best buy refused to price match Staples because the staples deal used a $100 off coupon and coupons are specifically excluded from best buy price match policy. I was however successful in getting the $299 deal at staples!
Went to best buy and ended up returning the tab and driving 5 minutes to the nearest staples and after a short discussion with the manager they allowed me to buy it for $299.99. Being in new Hampshire meant no sales tax. Again ...thanks to the op for posting the info.

I tried this yesterday and got denied. Then I bought a refurb for 335 free shipping and no tax. I'm pretty mad. I guess it's not that bad though as long as the one I get is nice.

The nearest Staples is 67 miles from Panama City. They don't stock the 10", and they are out of stock on the 8". Wow, such a deal! :crying:
32 GB is now on sale at Best Buy for 449. I just went and got my $100 back since I paid full price earlier this month.
I gave staples a shot. No can do. Oh well. I guess I'm not the charmer that you guys are lol.
I got the 32gb version on eBay for $410.00 after using a promo coupon lol. Got really lucky!
