2013 Nexus 7 is live on the Play Store now. Must resist...
[Off-topic] NVardan:
Ehhm, the 16GB version also dropped to 249 Euro. In a third party retail store, the 16GB version still costs 329 Euro (on official Play Store website, it was 350 Euro back then).

Third party retailers may never want to discount it. :mad:

well....i can't buy devices from the play store unless using VPN and last i heard,LG do not honour warranty bought internationally. they will only allow warranty if bought locally.oh also nexus 10,nexus 7 and nexus 4 prices are all jacked up.just look at the price of nexus 4.even without GPlay discount,the device on GPlay are still much cheaper!

Yep, then the 16GB is £199 which is still a bargain.

I want it...
[Off-topic] NVardan:
Nexus 4 was the best deal even without the discount. And the discount makes it even more attractive. The 8GB unlocked costs as much, as people should pay for on-contract HTC One.

That's an insanely low price.

BTW.

My father ordered one for my sister as her birthday present, her first smartphone. At first, he wanted to buy the Desire X, but when I said that the N4 is only 199 Euro today(the same, as the Desire X), and told about all the stuff Nexus 4 has that is better than Desire X' stuff, he decided to order the N4.
[Off-topic] olyloh6696:
Help Appreciated :D

Right,

I've decided I would like to buy the Nexus 4 16GB with this new price. I've finally come round to it and put my Samsung Galaxy S2 and my Samsung Galaxy Tab up on eBay.

The thing is, I have no bloody idea to how eBay works. What is the best tactic for the best sale? What can I use to attract people? Is my offer reasonable? Am I asking too much?

Can anyone please take a look at my auctions, and please tell me if this is okay, and will it make a sale?

Samsung Galaxy S2 - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=251328029783

Samsung Galaxy Tab - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=251328031207

Ideally, I'd like to sell my S2 for £150 and my Galaxy Tab for £150. Is my starting price too high?

Any help from anyone will be MUCH appreciated!

[Off-topic] lowveld:
As a buyer, I wouldn't jump on it, the starting price is too high.

You have to play the "just a couple more quid is still worth it" card: start with a lower price to attract buyers, they will fight it out when outbid and raise the price themselves.

A price like that, and your probable results are:

- no one bids on it

- someone snipes the phone at the last second by your asking price and not a cent more

EBay dynamics are fun. Personally I don't have the patience anymore and go for "buy it now" items with a fair price tag. Which is probably what you wanted to do...

Cheers
[Off-topic] olyloh6696:
Thanks a lot for the advice lowveld!

Yeah, it makes sense now.

I've lowered the starting price for both of them to £100 each... is that low enough? Also, say the final bid ends up being like £110... do I have to sell it at £110? Or can I withdraw the bid at the end? Will I get fined or anything?

Thanks a lot!!
[Off-topic] lowveld:
There's always the risk that there are few or no bids, and you have to sell the phone at a low price. That's how the "fabulous" eBay deals come to happen.

As for retracting the auction, I don't think it's legally possible, not to mention it would be dickish of you :)

In your case, as you already know what price you want to get, you probably should have gone with a "buy it now" for the 150. You should of course look around eBay for similar buy it nows, and check what price is being tipically asked for your items, and maybe adjust your price if needed.
[Off-topic] olyloh6696:
Oh man, that's got me worried now! :p I really hope it does not turn out that way!

Do you think it is worth me also adding the buy-it-now option, or shall I just leave it? Should I not be expecting any bids, till lets say the last few days?
[Off-topic] jugg1es:
You probably won't see any bids until about an hour before the end of the auction, it'll usually go nuts in the last half hour, nail biting stuff :D

Yeah I'll see you, Ben, lowveld and others on the other side, assuming you all aren't upgrading anytime soon! :D

Hopefully I can sell my S2 and Tab very soon, and I'll try to place an order tomorrow for the N4.

It really is selling like hotcakes here in the UK, I've been following a forum with discussion on the price cut, and it seems 7 in every 10 posters have placed an order... and the thread has 700 in just 2 days! :eek: No wonder its out of stock.

Well, it's a very very good deal for this developer device.

And I won't upgrade to the next nexus unless necessary.

I remember a year ago I had this short conversation with [MENTION=1344833]lowveld[/MENTION] , it was my opinion about he is going to get a nexus 4 and dumping Saga. I told him the nexus was a total rip off due to the rumors that LG is going to sell it around 400£. And then, it was just a rumor. Later on, no update on Fallout rom ever since. :rolleyes: ( because he was sick and then changed phone )

Hey guys an advice needed.

Yesterday my wife brought home a cheap Chinese 7" tablet. My firs thought was to throw it out the window but then I decided to play a bit. It appeared to be factory prerooted but I cannot enter the recovery. I am Google-ing right now but if anyone here know some resource website I will appreciate it. The make in settings is SoftwinerEvb, Android 4.0.4

Have you tried getting to recovery with an app?

"You learn something new every day if you're not careful" - Wilf Lunn
[Off-topic] amidabuddha:
Yes I tried using ROM Manager, different Vol keys + Power combos, adb commands.

By the way ROM Manager reports that I have two! recoveries installed: CWM for unknown device and TWRP :) Actually I want to try putting JellyBean on it, seems a lot of these cheap-ies are capable of running it, but I do not want to do anything without a backup. No idea how to unbrick it if something goes wrong.

Probably some online backup tool will work but I do not have it with me right now. The play will continue in the evening
[Off-topic] NVardan:
Have you tried to update SU binary/busybox? Maybe after updating it, reboot into recovery will work. Or the problem is maybe, that it's running two recoveries and the tablet can't decide into which one to boot.

Time to factory reset and clear out my S2, I'll be relying on my trusty DS till September 10th...

Thanks!
[Off-topic] :
Nice!

Id pack it in a slightly larger box and fill up the empty space with bubble wrap, kitchen paper or foam thingys. Usually that does the job. Don't take a too big box. Make the to be secured goods as compact as possible.

So your nexus journey begins...

Okay, yeah I've been reading around, thanks for the tips! Oh yes I can't wait!!! It will be so good knowing I'll always be up to date, no hacking custom ROMs etc. (For now.:D)
[Off-topic] ben_pyett:
you can always cut down any cardboard box, shoe box is slightly thin, although depends on how your posting them. Just ensure you over do the parcel tape when you seal the edges and corners.

Bubble wrap or those foam pebble things that come with new purchases even polystyrene broken up, or shrunched up paper will be ideal as packaging.

Ask lovweld, I reckon he must have had to use a chain saw to open the box I made for international shipping of his N4.

Question that I know Oly and other recent N4 buyers will appreciate.

So all you N4 owners what ROM/builds are you currently running?

I've always run AOKP, but am growing impatient waiting for them to drop 4.3 so am considering jumping to CM or PA.

Which would be irritating as I've invested in aokpush and aokpbackup, not to mention many months of commitment and enjoyment.

Anyone willing to give me any reason to go to either option, or perhaps an alternate?

I'll stay on Franco kernel which ever direction I choose?

It would have been the perfect time for Kagawa to play in his preferred position with the absence of Rooney.

Moyes said it was between Kagawa or Nani on the bench. But no idea why Anderson was there.

I think Giggsy's time is up as well. As great a legend he is, he's not up to the pace of these younger players. He'll probably be better used as a sub.

It will be so frustrating of we do not sign anyone at all. Our midfield needs to be strengthened, we already have 3 left backs, we don't need Baines.
