Looking for a basic tablet to run Plex and Sonos and I've been looking at the 10 in Samsung S2 64 gig. My wife had one at one time and she really liked it I liked how thin it was but not sure what a good price for one would be brand new. I found one for $300.00 USD from a reputable store brand new in box with full factory warranty.

What price would you pay for one brand new?

It depends the country I suppose , I bought it in Spain for 260€ . (It was an offer) about the tablet it works really well without any lag (I just returned a Lenovo yoga for that reason)

The Galaxy Tab S2 is still a great tablet, but $300 is a bit steep at this point. It's almost 3 years old, and has been replaced by the Tab S3, which has a faster processor. I wouldn't go north of $150-$200 at this point. Also, if mine broke I'd probably replace it with an S3.

The 64GB does change things a bit, but since you get an SD card slot, not that much. I have a 32GB and have had zero storage problems. I keep video, music, books, etc on the SD card and haven't even come close to filling its internal storage with apps.

Well do remember that for $300 brand new in box 813 version with 64GB of ram and the mSD card slot. I looked at the Tab S3 which was around $450 but I just had a hard time justifying that. Hell it's hard to find a good Android tablet now a days. Seems like they're either really budget or expensive. I'd be happy to find a one around $250.

As $300 is about £225, I'd just about pay this for a brand new 813, 64GB. I'd be much more comfortable paying $180 for a used version though.

It's certainly not a terrible deal. I still use my T813 daily, and I love the thing - to the point where I don't even bother carrying a laptop these days. (I have a travel keyboard) My only point is that it's hard to shell out that much for a tablet that is essentially EOL'ed by its manufacturer.

On the other hand, I just priced the Tab S3, and even in the 32GB config, it's a pricey machine. That might definitely tip the scales towards an S2, even at $300.
