I ordered from him also. As someone already said he has a good reputation and Ebay has not removed him as a seller. So I will stay with the order for now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rsg_1:
Well, the release in the EU is suppose to be the 17th, but retailers will have them earlier.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justabrake:
exactly they should have them earlier and in his auction he says "" This item will be shipped as soon as it is launched.""

so hopefully maybe where talking about the 17th delivered :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] esincho:
I would not look for it to ship the same day as the UK release. Dude in the us. He gotta get them, package, then ship

The Ebay listing is for a 32gb listing. Will 32gb Nexus be available on Nov 17 or only 16gb.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
Thats what i have been trying to say there is no 32gb being released the 17th !
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justabrake:
This is not a bait and switch auction seller, if he said 32gb it's going to be 32gb

You will be updated with tracking information as soon as your item has shipped.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matt2053:
Man, so frustrating! I have tried to order from Flag Ship Fones and Clove today, and none would take my credit card!

With FSF, it seems they were sending incomplete data to the third-party payment handler. With Clove, they didn't give me a reason why it didn't work.

GRRRR!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
dude you can say what you want but there is no 32gb being released in eu on nov 17th !

the 16 gb is being released for 549 euros over there , which is 758 here. do you really think you are getting a 32gb for 599? common man be for real.

i hope i am wrong i really do.. no wonder he has it listed with "NO RETURNS"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] upyouratrix:
I'm already starting to get frustrated! I just want to be able to buy the HSPA+ version here in the states. I'm an N1 owner who is in desperate need for a new phone. I'm thinking about giving them until the 11th, and if no US date by then, I might just have to bite the bullet and buy one from the UK. I just didn't want to have to spend that much on a phone... Screw you Verizon! I'm sure you're the one that's screwing this up for everyone!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justabrake:
what exactly do you do besides make accusations of someone you don't know, Have you ever bought shipments of phones abroad.

What makes you know all this info ? I hope it's just not the rumors that are floating around here and there because everyone has been blindsided by all the setbacks on this phone
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rsg_1:
Perhaps so, but he could be getting them from Korea or China where the phones are coming from and may be 32 GB. I will be giving him until the end of the month.

Whatever it is, I think I'll have mine before it shows up at retailer in the US simply because Samsung doesn't want to hurt sales of the GS II during the holiday period.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
Has anyone tried just asking the guy where he's getting these from and how he is able to sell them for so cheap?

Looking at his feedback history, it seems this is his modus operandi. Every once in a while he sells a bunch of the exact same item, presumably at below-market prices. These have mostly been phones, and judging by all the positive feedback these don't look like outright scams. But you have to wonder where he gets these from. He must have a connection of some kind, but what kind of connection?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justabrake:
hell your right next to him go knock on his door and ask him
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _illmatic_:
hahaha Cambridge, MA. I think its legit, dude stands by his 32GB claim instead of changing it based on what the market has. Refunded my money instantly after ebay removed the listing same day for one device. Got 2 coming to my house lets hope for the best.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
I will as soon as one of you guys figures out where he lives.

In one of his past auctions he said he's going back to school. There are only three institutions of higher learning in Cambridge, so this shouldn't be hard. But I need a name, address, anything...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _illmatic_:
gmail is whoisyasin@gmail.com ebay user id is cakalyasin, name maybe Cakal Yasin?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
common man.. dont get mad. a wise man once said "if it is to good to be true, it usually is"

maybe its real, maybe its not? i dont know, but you act like what i say has no substance

https://negrielectronics.com/samsung-i9250-google-galaxy-nexus-black-unlocked.html

I just had a live chat with them. They've already taken 50+ pre-orders and said they may not even get enough in the first batch to cover the pre-orders that are already taken. I hate being in the US some times!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Revthejedi:
Yasin H. Cakal ??????
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
seriously? Sorry but i feel way different..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justabrake:
Lets do this, He has 100% feedback sold 296, he deals in phones and been a member since 07, Right now he has 58 feedbacks coming to his reputation

would you say it's 32 gb if it weren't and not just say 16 gb and people would still buy this, as it is the best price around common sense

your just a shopper and what you see is only 16gb everyone is selling and thats all everyone else has heard so far, you'll see 32gb on sites that are not priced and that might make you think no one has them, thats substance
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] upyouratrix:
Very seriously! Our leaders are just plain terrible, scummy people that should be lined up and shot. Our country is run by greed and not what's good for the people. Our money is worth crap, our educational system is a joke, jobs still suck, media is a joke, hell even what's put on tv (or not put on tv) is absurd! I grew up as a kid loving this country, but as I get older and the corruption continues to drive everything into the ground, I am simply embarrassed to be an American.

/end rant

I could go on, but it's not pertaining to the of topic of this thread. I just want my Galaxy Nexus without having to pay through the nose! Is that too much to ask for?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
Seems to be his name according to Twitter. He doesn't go to Harvard or MIT. Not sure about Lesley, they don't have a student directory. Maybe he just lives in Cambridge and goes to school somewhere else, maybe he lied about the going back to college thing. Let me see what else I can dig up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] killbox:
whoisyasin aka Yasin H. Cakal has twitter profile and a youtube channel. I'm beginning to think that this is a regular guy, not a store or anything. How can he sell 32gb for 599$ while legit shops take 700$+ for 16gb. How do I cancel my order at ebay? Maybe he is a member here as well?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
I will say it again the PRICES do not match up! He is selling a 32gb for a 150 dollars less the 16gb! thats the real issue. The fact that all the tech blogs reported no 32gb upon release in Europe is irrelevant. Also if you watched the Samsung London show last week he specifically said the 16gb will be releasing in europe beginning on the 17th

you do realize the phone will be 579 to 600 dollars off contract here too for the 16gb right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justabrake:
I don't know how he could sell them at that price maybe he has company connections who knows whatever he said 32GB in 2 auctions that's all I know, it's definitely not an error in auction listing and he has 72 more left :D maybe his father works overseas for samsung and gets them out the back door loading dock

anyway I predict he will be selling more after he ships these and will be asking more $$$$
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
Looks like he has gone back to Troy, NY to go to RPI. Oh well, it's out of my hands now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] killbox:
If it's a scam, then we will get several years behind bars, im just curious if victims will get a full refund from ebay in those cases.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justabrake:
$34,000+ in sales for the 58 phones sold already LOL
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] upyouratrix:
It will probably be $529, just like the past 2 Nexus phones. I'm fine with that. I'm not fine with $700+. It's a freaking phone! I bought my 42" LED SmartTV for $700. This is a phone I'll use for 2 years, sell and buy another.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _illmatic_:
I sent you a PM detailing my experience with ebay and the seller. Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
Oh man, now I'm curious. Any chance you could send me a copy of that, even though I didn't buy anything from the guy?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] killbox:
why only PM?

I also bought from him.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cyberto:
me too :) please make it public
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _illmatic_:
PM sent, nothing crazy tho. Just my personal experience with him.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cyberto:
could you send it to me too please?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
The phone has gone up in price sixty dollars in Europe over the nexus s. Same here watch. The amaze is already 579 and the razr is 599. Sorry buddy but chances are it will be in the same range. I predict 599 gsm and 650 lte
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] esincho:
Lmao.........
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] outsidah:
Not the same thing. You are talking about paying a premium for owning a top of the line unsubsidized phone vs an LCD TV which has gone through several years of product cycles.

Many won't/don't want to pay $500 for a freaking phone either... Those paying an extra $200 on top of that do it to own it early and not have to wait for carriers and/or Google to release it in their region.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aly19:
me as well, thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zytryx:
I just returned my iPhone 4s for this phone, gotten tired of the iOS side, it's just getting stale as an OS, Apple needs to step up the game a bit.

Siri was cool but kinda gimmicky at the moment, it was either this or the SGS2 and I keep hearing about how bad the audio is on it, I couldn't live with that, I hope this is better.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _illmatic_:
My experience is just that I purchased from him Oct. 31 then got an email from ebay about the listing being removed today. I called ebay and they basically told me that they would walk me through getting my money back. When I asked them why they removed the listing I was told he couldn't give me exact details, but it could be that buyers had complaints about the listing. As in people who believed it to be fake flagged it/reported it. After the rep walked me through the dispute process the seller refunded me almost instantly. So it kinda makes you think, if hes a scammer it deff didn't take long at all to get my pre order canceled and my money back.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matt2053:

I spent over $1000 on Ebay last year for a laptop I never received. After a several week investigation the entire amount was refunded to my Paypal account.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] upyouratrix:
Meh... I don't see the price being that high. The dollar is weak, which is why I really don't want to have to import from the UK. If it was 1 to 1, then hell, I would have pre-ordered last week.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matt2053:
Done, pre-order placed. Let the waiting game begin...>>!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vagelis:
I ordered with them on October 19th, 2 days after the original announcement...

We'll see what happens...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matt2053:
What shipping method did you choose? I chose the Royal something 3 to 5 days. Seemed like the best bang for your buck.

EDIT: Oops, I meant Parcel Force. That's the one!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vagelis:
Yes, that one for me as well... 3-5 days, as the Brits will say I reckon, "the proof is in the pudding" :)...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justabrake:
:D:D:D:D:D:D

Dear justabrake,

Yes, you will be getting the phone. eBay removed the listing because they don't allow pre-sales of this item, but those who have bought the item and payed for it will have their orders honored.

Sorry I couldn't help myself ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hiohokaybye:
THANK GOD! :D

I'm excited :) even the wait seems like forever! 32gb for the price is amazing! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lcrkz0023:
Let me start off saying I previously brought from that ebay guy also back on the 31st so Im not here to judge. I received today the same ebay no longer listed notification and then I immediately went to resolution and got my refund. My refund was granted today. Im in the US and have been searching for weeks like others where to buy this sucker at a reasonable price. Even though ebay dude was the cheapest after further research what he trying to sell cant be true,imo. Reason being, in all my searches there are no 32GB for preorder ANYWHERE....no Expansys, Amazon, Clove, Plemix, Handtec, NO WHERE. So why would "some guy" who lives in MD have the connections if these creditible worldwide establishments dont even show a hint of 32GB for preorder.

Use ur heads people...i understand about the protection policy but why go thru all that. Just order thru Negri or whoever and spend the extra 80-120 dollars for a peace of mind and a true customer service #. Think back when all those people on ebay who where selling HP Touchpads on ebay who didnt actually have them, go read those forums and see how long it took them to get their money back.

Heres my Nostrodumass:D prediction...Once Nov 17 gets here, hes not gonna have them...hes gonna say i will have them in a week...then it will be delayed again because of thankgiving holidays..then Dec approaches still no phone. Now you're at a crossroads cuz ur money is tied up with this idiot seller and other online sellers have it in stock. Now you gotta go thru the 10-day BS with Ebay.

Just get your money back now and move on...save yourself the drama! Sorry long post, it didnt seem this long in my head.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _illmatic_:
Yeah, that was one thing in the back of my mind that kept bugging me. No one else is selling the 32GB, well like I said good luck and I hope it comes thru.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
I think we have warned them enough. The ones that sticks with it, best of luck. I really hope it all works out. Dont say you werent warned. Look at this way you get to tell us "told you so"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justabrake:
Are you canceling your other 2 phones ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hiohokaybye:
I'm thinking about canceling my ebay order with that guy and buy it off from Unlocked mobile phones from UK, would 3g and 4g work fine with T-mobile in the states?

The one reason that's holding me back from canceling is that it's 32 gb and he has good ratings...

But I would get the phone way before if i were to order it from UK... with real customers support...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justabrake:
If I were you I would cancel it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matt2053:
Yes according to the spec sheet it will work on T-Mobile in USA. I have T-Mobile in USA and I just ordered it from Unlocked Mobile Phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lcrkz0023:
+1...btw Bigmerf thxs for the scoop about the coupon code, good looking out man!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hiohokaybye:

Dear,

Thank you for preordering the Factory Unlocked Samsung Galaxy Nexus 32GB. Your item will be shipped as soon as it is officially released by Samsung. The release date has been announced to be sometime this month, but an exact date has not yet been confirmed. I will update the tracking information through Paypal the day the phone is released.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rsg_1:
I also got the same message from cakalyasin. I will be keeping my order until the middle of this month or I have absolute confirmation that the 32 GB version will not be shipping to ANY country in the world in the next 3 weeks.

Is there any country in the EU that will be receiving the 32 GB version this month? How about other countries?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aly19:
I'm not going to cancel my order just yet. If it all works out there is no way that the 32 CBS unlocked version would be that cheap.

I'm wondering how these other ebayers are still selling nexus's and it's all pre sold and shipped later

someone must of turned this guy into ebay , who's the rat
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
You mean rats.. It takes many emails from different ip adresses and proof for ebay to cancel an auction. Someone must have provided proof of no 32gb. Remember them and paypal stand to make a pretty penny from this sale in fees. It takes alot to cancel an auction

You guys do know that was a mass email he sent right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] piggo:
yup, I've got the same email... Can't imagine the number of queries he's getting but I don't think $599.99 is over priced. This isn't iphone, samsung cannot command such high margins...Together with shipping, the purchase is about $80 more than a s2 without contract at my place. Can't believe he's faulted for charging too little... Haha
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rsg_1:
As far as I can tell, there are NO other eBay sellers, other auction sites, or web sites that are selling the 32 GB version. Even if the 32 GB is not available, I think the price for 16 GB is still decent. I won't pay $700 for this or any other phone considering I could pick up an iPad2 w/3G for the same price.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
Your darn right its not an iphone.. Unlocked 32gb iphone 4s is over a grand.. Look it up. The amaze is 579, razr and Rezound. Will be 599. See a trend?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aly19:
I'm not sure about everyone else but I will be okay still, I have a GS II and I need the extra space of 32 gb anyway
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rsg_1:
No its not. You can buy it directly from Apple for $749 in the next few weeks. Free shipping and even with sales tax its still under $820. The 64 GB iPhone 4s is $849.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hiohokaybye:
Yeah, I think I'm gunna wait it out too. I'm not looking forward to the whole less space and more expensive deal
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] piggo:
Believes he is referring to iphone in black market. Not sure how things are in the states, but ppl in singapore are buying iphones in bulk from apple, and reselling it at a nice profit. Apple f. ans are willing to fork out a lot of money when there is a shortage. You'll never see such a phenomenon with samsung products.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
Ok i meant right now.. Lol. Try and find an unlocked one from euro for that price right now
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chmcke01:
Subsidized?

When/if Best Buy sells these, will you be able to get one subsidized as an upgrade? Also, what would be your best bet for when this would most likely happen? Do you think it would reach Best Buy by the end of the year if it is coming at all?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matt2053:
He didn't say in a few weeks he said right now. And look on eBay right now and you will see unlocked iPhone 4s selling for $900 to $1000. $700 for this phone unlocked and with delivery from UK is not outrageous like many in this thread seem to think.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matt2053:
Well Nexus S launched with only T-Mobile version. No other version came to US until Sprint version 8 months later. That's why I'm ordering now, you never know, this thing could be Verizon only in US until summer time!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
Hey i payed 680.. Gimmie my 20 back. Lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
My bet is Best Buy picks it up ASAP unlocked. It will make the people who import and pre-order from Europe that paid $700 feel a little foolish for spending so much when they see it here for $529.

FWIW Best Buy

did

sell the Nexus S with a T-mo contract and subsidized it themselves. T-mo didn't officially do any subsidies though. Wouldn't be surprised if it happened again.

There's really no reason to jump to conclusions just over 2 weeks before it is released in Europe and potentially spend over $100 extra for no reason. I don't blame you for wanting it day 1 but pre-ordering now and pre-ordering on the 13th will yield the same result for you. And if you wait you may get more info on it coming for sale in the USA unlocked.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ssells:
As I need a 32 gb Nexus not a 16 gb I will not cancel yet. My company does a large amount of business with Paypal. I will find out if he has had problems with Paypal in the past. I will let you guys know by 2:00 PM pacific coast time tomorrow.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] takgeun68:
So the galaxy nexus has been set to release after the black friday which is approx 3 weeks from now on...but thats according to verizon, many on this thread seems like they are waiting for the unlocked GSM to use on TMO or ATT (including me) but I am pretty sure they release both versions at the same time, not making the same mistake with the nexus s 4g. Observing the general consensus, my plan is to wait for the unlocked gsm to release on best buy (most likely) and buy is from there (around 500~600, anything over I would wait for the price drop) Does my plan look good?lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
1st off there is no confirmation of a black friday release.. 2nd i hiiiiighly doubt the GSM version will drop at the same time. the general rumor that has been consistent throughout is that Verizon obtained an exclusivity for the Galaxy Nexus. Now if you think Verizon paid X amount to Google for an exclusive launch without making sure they have it through Christmas, Then you do not understand business. Beieve me I hope and pray I am wrong so that I can cancel my preorder and obtain it by simply waking into a best buy. But at this point I do not see the GSM option being available here until Jan (after the holidays) at the earliest

EDIT ! : I STAND CORRECTED, ALTHOUGH UNCONFIRMED LOOK HERE
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] takgeun68:
Yes I heard all the rumors...but still hoping that verzion's exclusivity through the Christmas isnt true...yes I know it is likely, however people who are saying nexus series will be available to all carriers at the same time have their valid points as well, which I hope in.....I was looking for pre-order too but decided to wait and see........
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stigy:
17th is the unconfirmed date once again -- image linked from above post.
