I am wanting to sell my Nexus One and I've been looking around some of the prices on Ebay and Craigslist. I wanted to know what people think their Nexus Ones are worth right now.
I tried selling it to someone on this forum and was told: "sorry i can buy a brand new factory sealed n1 from half a dozen places for less than 250." I wasn't able to find any new N1s for at least $250 so I don't think this statement was an attempt to lowball the price. But, if it were true, then that means that my N1's value is on-par with the iPhone 2 or 3G... which I find to be a little hard to swallow.
Mine is in incredibly excellent condition and nothing is broken. I'd love to hear thoughts and opinions.
I've bought mine from buydig.com 2 weeks ago for about 250. Brand new. But with screen calibration issue - something that apparently all nexus ones have :-(
I just checked that site and I don't see anywhere where they sell cell phones...
what network does it operate on? is it unlocked?
if it's in good condition i'd sell it for 300-400 depending on many things. is it rooted? latest OS. that's just me tho.
$210 used, or $260 new, on Amazon
Brand new from ebay at US$279 + free shipping...
I had three and all were rooted with custom ROMs/updated radios.
Sold one on eBay for $215 (auction, not BuyItNow). Sold one on Craigslist for $210.
Keeping the other one for posterity's sake. Still an awesome device, and definitely was a game-changer in the mobile world.
Hello everyone,
I've been looking around for a tablet for a few weeks and the Nexus 7 is on the list of possibles.
I was just wondering if it would be a good idea to hang on for a refurbished Nexus 7. Are there more 8gb versions going back than 16gb's? Reading all the feedback Google must be awash with returns and I was wondering how they intend to move these products on. (Apple sell refurbished ipads on their website)
what do you reckon? Worth waiting for a refurb?

If they do openly sell them, I say go for it. I only experienced the screen lift, and is probably an easy fix.
As for people with screen dead spots/washed out color. I can only imagine the only way they fix it is with a new display, so that would be another go for it. That's if they sell as refurbed.
Bit seeing this device has such a small profit margin, I doubt they will sell refurbed devices

i would buy a refurbished one. im currently in the process of returning mine, screen lift and light bleed, and i would definitely buy a refurbished unit. all refurbished items i have bought before (phones,laptops,tablets,ipods) have work just fine like new............ and their always cheaper
I was just thinking of how much these will sell for in a year or two. They're cheap new.... so ~$100 resell? Seems crazy.
Refurbs probably won't be THAT much cheaper, maybe $150. I'd almost rather just buy new. I don't think your really going to save hundreds like you could with a 10" tablet of yesteryore.

Refurbished units will have gone through more QC than new units. I would go for it. I bought my kindle fire refurbished and it was perfect.

The majority of times, refurbs aren't actually refurbs, but new units marked down and relabeled. It's one way to move excess inventory w/o impacting the SRP. That KF you got is most likely new.
BTW, you can definitively tell whether a CE is "new" or refurb by cracking it open. Those that have been opened (refurbed) will always leave tell-tale traces.
N7 is still supply-constrained for the near future, so chance for an "unofficial" markdown is slim. One way that could change is if upcoming competition from Amazon and Apple is fiercer than expected.
I'd wait. I've had good luck with refurb devices in the past. Amazon sold the Kindle Fire for $140 refurbed a few months after release.

That wouldn't make sense from a business perspective. It's better to replace the screen (or parts) and sell refurbed for a $60 loss over just trashing the unit for a $170 loss. Not everything has to turn a profit, just minimize the loss.
I would almost guarantee there's a refurbed unit. But whether it's available in the US is another thing.
I see a long time ahead before refurbs hit the market. Probably a year. In the meantime they will take the parts and use them when someone sends in for warranty repair. Just because thee is screen separation does not mean you get a new unit. It might right now due to their inventory. But give it a month and you will start seeing refurbs sent out for warranty repairs.

Aaaahhh... maybe they're selling to other countries as new...
A little shady, but possible where their laws wouldn't prohibit such an action[/SIZE][/SIZE]
If you want it, why torture yourself and wait for a used unit only to save a few bucks?
You could check the XDA Market for guys selling theirs for a few bucks less or do yourself a favor and Buy it now and buy it new, with a warranty at a brick and mortar store in case you need to exchange it for another in the event there is some defect (screen lift).

What is that tell-tale traces left on opened refurbs you are talking about? And what does "CE" mean?
Just curious...
I just went to exchange my daughters nexus 7 she received for Christmas at Staples and was told they don't have any replacements and won't be getting the 16GB version anymore as they have been discontinued Every Staples in my area (boston) is sold out, even though the Staples website shows them in stock. The 32GB is still available everywhere.
I then went to Walmart.com and their website states "Dear Customer, we are out of the Google Nexus 16GB Tablet, and will not be receiving any more. You can look at and purchase the 32GB version by CLICKING HERE."
Google play store shows them "Sold Out".
Does anyone know if the 16GB is discontinued? Does this mean we can expect to see the 32GB version discounted soon?

Wal mart will stop selling the 16gb since it went down to $199.99. Reason being, at that price, there is just no profit margain for them. Google barely breaks even. Nothing left for wally.

Even my work told me that they wouldn't likely get more in. I went for the 32gb, only $50 more.

I noticed this today too! Went out looking for a 16gb model to replace a kindle fire HD I purchased my mom for Xmas (didn't like it). Couldn't find one anywhere locally or online! Well I take that back, my local MicroCenter only had the 16gb models in stock but they had the nerve to have them priced at $249 lol. When I asked the sales guy why they were priced so high he tried to get over on me by saying that's the correct price and the $50 price cut is down from $299. I just laughed and replied "I see why your the only place that still has the 16gb models in stock" and walked away. Ended up buying a 32gb model at Sears and used my $28 worth of reward points towards the purchase. I think Google is looking to sell only the 32gb models...

When the Nexus 7 was released this past summer, only the 8GB was available directly from Google. The 16GB was the only model sold in stores. Now that there is no 8 GB model and the price was lowered on the 16 GB, the 32 GB is the only version available via anywhere other than Google.
Just about every retailer is stating that they are no longer carrying the product or it has been discontinued. I called google customer service and they told me that they have no knowledge of it being discontinued and suggested I keep checking the website for updates. They couldn't tell me if they would be restocking, just that there is no official statement on product being discontinued. Would be nice if someone said something official one way or the other.
I bought two 16GB versions for Christmas, one worked fine while the other wouldn't charge. I returned the defective unit thinking I would be able to get a replacement. Silly me. Now if I buy two different memory versions, my 5 year old son who doesn't understand the situation will be unhappy if his sister gets one with more memory. Yes, at 5 he can tell the difference. Meanwhile my 7 year old daughter is still without her Christmas gift while Mom and Dad go crazy trying to locate one.

Staples and Sears - every store that shows units in stock, doesn't have a single unit for resale. Either the units in stock are customer returns which are not available for sale or they are falsely being reported as stocked.

Good one retard
My kid has had a tablet since he was 3. He's 6 now. He's on his now looking at wallpapers.
I wouldn't jump to conclusions. Christmas just ended and stock has yet to be replenished. Although I would imagine the 32gb taking over the norm.
There is no way to tell them apart. The box is even the same. No way to tell except going into settings and viewing storage.
If you WANTED to fix it... do a nandroid backup of the 16gb and restore it on the 32gb. Then it will read as 16gb. You can flash back to the original stock Rom (which will properly reformat it) to regain the lost 16gb.

When I went in to best buy looking for a nexus 7 I couldn't find one. I asked the lady where the nexus 7 was. She said sadly best buy and Google couldn't come to an agreement so they passed on carrying it. I looked at her and said they wouldn't let y'all price gouge huh? She looked at me funny and walked away.
Maybe its a sign that Google is about to release a 64 gig version or one with an SD slot?

If a fruit company can have 64GB, then why a green robot can't? also reminds me about GNEX, that Google could not fit 32GB in GSM variant as it was to thin, who know how it's now, but N7 has more room, not about for 3G variant.
A few places do still sell the 16 GB model in India.. Online ofcourse.. But that's probably the "left-overs".. Also, there have been speculations of re-releasing the N7 tablet in India in Jan '13.. So there'd be the 16 GB model available then..
My oversea sources inside China indicated that it is basic supply & demand issues with inventory and the holidays at the factory as the warehouses are basically operating in JIT mode (Just In Time) for shipping & delivery, and, that they are simply out of stock - or, sold more 16GB models than expected. $199 USD is a very, very attractive price for this sleek quad-core model & HD screen and a great front-facing camera, etc. (minus the mSD card for extra storage - which, we are know is easily solved with OTG cable, besides - got a ton of USB thumb drive) Our 2nd. choice was a slower (dual-core) Samsung Galaxy Tab 2.0 7" with dual camera - also virtually sold out everywhere, online & at brick-n-mortar stores before X'mas.
Anyway, tracked down an open-box N7 16GB - WiFi only - in 99.98% brand new condition, full warranty last week at the 3rd. Staple stores - (had 2 of them in the back, plenty of 32GB models at $249) - manager approved a 10% discount (no official policy for giving discount as it's highly sought after) so it was $180 net + sales tax, no waiting for FedEx/UPS driver - what a bargain. That's almost 1/2 the price of the iPad mini and if you fly in "coach" on a 15 hours flight - either one is great for watching DVD's and got plenty of storage options with the USB add-on, and the micro-USB port made it super easy to power up/charge & connect with other devices without spending a small fortune on accessories again (DW has her full size iPad, LOL but I love Androids) Easily tethering nicely to VZW's hotspot on the smartphone w. unlimited 3G data plan when I'm not on a Fios connection, he he !
Still busy with unlocked, rooted stock Roms & the top custom ones floating around here - the factory rom without the bloatware is great - once I got rid of the "My Library" & "Recommended ..." pimped by Google as I don't feel like holding it up as a made-believed Kindle Fire HD, etc. that's priced higher in Staples.
Stay tuned - time to update my profile/signature as the older Viewsonic Vpad7 is going to retire soon or get eBay'd ...
Cheers & Happy New Year 2013 to all (to our "oversea" friends in the other half of the planet Earth, i.e. our uncle in "Down Under" in Aussie's) :highfive:
Right now Amazon has the 32GB CW on sale for $597.94, if I were to order from the play store it's $691.18 w/tax for me. Both have free shipping. The amazon one is sold and shipped by amazon, not a third party retailer on there. Is it worth spending almost $100 more to order from the Play store, or is the savings worth just ordering it from Amazon and going through Motorola for any possible warranty issues.

Same phone...I would order it from Amazon.
I don't know how much extra the 64 Gigabyte one is but that's the one I would buy. If you are backing up and using TWRP, 32 gigs goes fast

I've ordered and received (March 16) a 64GB version N6 from Amazon -- works fine, no problems (so far).
-- I had unlocked bootloader and rooted the phone right away.
If it were the Nexus 5, I'd say it was worth it. LG were really tricky with their warranty. i.e, flag tripped and unlocked - warranty voided. Google don't care, even if it is unlocked.
The only difference I would say is I believe any non-play purchases would warranty with moto, would have to be relocked before sending back. I think it would be exceptionally rare that you would be in a situation where you couldn't lock the bootloader. USB socket failure perhaps.
Though, maybe someone has returned to moto whilst unlocked?

Out of all the current and past phones on the market, the OnePlus 3T is (for me) the best. So, I've been looking for one in perfect condition.
I've discovered that there are still some eBay merchants selling brand new OnePlus 3T models. However, I was under the impression these are not being manufactured any more. So where do they get them?
Has anyone bought one of these recently? Was it new (unsealed box), or refurbished?
Do you know any place one can get a genuine brand new OP3T at good prices?
Thanks in advance.

Got mine brand new a few months ago from Geekbuying, a Chinese reseller.
I am sure there are other Chinese resellers still selling sealed new boxes.
Unleashed by my rooted OP3T on 8.0
Got mine off Gumtree, it looked brand new but it was used and sold by someone who didn't fancy it anymore and preferred a Samsung. Maybe you'll get lucky and a private seller will have a mint one. I paid £300 privately for mine. Bargain.
They buy in bulk so they get the phones in discount or something like that. Then they resell it for a lot less while still making profit, quite popular thing to do on eBay
I bought my OnePlus one back in 2015 December for £225 that's about $250 64gb brand new sealed on eBay
