The 'Who's selling the Nexus 7' thread

I will collect all buying advices for all regions for the new nexus 7.

1. For Europe
propably the cheapest solution is toget it from ebuyer.com through boarderlinx i used google checkout and my order was accepted.
a stock warning after ordering is afaik normal because they don't have it in stock yet.


2.Asia
I think you are stugged with buying it from ebay.com or find a importer (there are afaik now some good ones in japan and southkorea specialized on tech a friend of mine bought a kindle fire there 2 days after release the prices are mad though).
please calculate with import taxes!!
have you found a good australian site?
developing............

Ebay is not an option for me since it will probably be slow since sellers would like the devices before starting an actualy auction. Also it WILL be more expensive.

I would like to be able to use something like Borderlinx.com , but problem right now is in google checkout which won't take a credit card from just any country.

Well the only hurdle is: Google Checkout only accepts US/UK and so on Cards for the play store to actually buy the device.

For the rest: borderlinx + proxy. But since the important stuff, payment, does not work... I just hope they sell it retail soon.

although something like 250$ would still be mad cheap
there are some resellers on ebay.co.uk who only charge a little premium if there is no huge demand i will try to contact a seller from ebay.co.uk if he could buy it for me and make a buy now auction

Your forgetting there is a huge demand, if your out of the country i would say wait till the end of july when it is in retail stores. otherwise expect to pay at least a $50 premium on ebay

also remember there is 25 in shipping and tax out the gate from google so expect to pay for that to, but for us users that isnt to much of an issue considering the 25 gift card from google.

We foreigners would need a virtual credit card issued in the UK for non UK residents. The nexus could be shipped to a borderlinx address.
Has anyone an idea where to get a virtual credit card issued in the UK?

Do they accept PayPal on the GooglePlay store?

 

[vengador]

No, they don't. CC only.

 

[Migel0]

Then either we somehow get UK credit card, or wait. It'll probably sell out and I doubt I'll have it before the end of August.

Okay, so I successfully placed an order but it got canceled a few hours later ; here's what happened.

1. Used a service called Entropay to create a virtual global visa credit card.
2. Registered a Borderlinx account and recieved a "suite adress" in the UK from Borderlinx.
3. Used a free UK vpn called Bestukvpn, to access the play store and place the order.

The order got through, I received an Order Receipt and an E-mail from Google Wallet confirming the credit card was valid and they could charge and fulfill the order.

Fast forward about 3 hours. I get an E-mail telling me my order of the Nexus 7 got canceled due to "We were unable to verify the account information for your recent purchase with Google Wallet. As a result, your account has been temporarily suspended and your recent order has been cancelled".

What I have to do to fix this is to scan and send a few credentials. ID or drivers license and billing and shipping scans proving it's where I live and I own the credit card.

This is such a hassle that I now give up.

Engadget posted some information regarding availability in stores in the uk. It will probably be a lot easier to order via one of the stores to Borderlinx. Does anyone have any experience with any of the retailers in the post from Engadget? maybe eBuyer?

Hope this information was helpful.

My guess is the whole world will get one soon enough. Asus would have channels in most countries plus no need for carrier deals etc. with no 3G functionality to deal with. It'll mostly just be about certifying it as non threatening/toxic to local authorities. I sure hope Asus sells them here in their home country licketty split....C'mon Johnny!!!

i guess theywill not get it out soon (in germany at least) for the same reason amazon is not pushing their fire the okosystem is not build up because of our complex market google play is just offering apps and some books
and this will not change for quite some Time

I guess Google won't make much of a profit by selling the device. I think their plan is to finance it with what they will sell in the play store which isn't possible in a lot of countries, so the country restrictions are understandable...

So back to how we get it anyway I just found out that you can already preorder the 16GB Version on ebuyer.com with an expected shipping date on July 27th for £199. The bad news is, that they won't ship it outside the UK, the good news is that they accept PayPal. Using Borderlinx to get the Tablet to Germany (in my case) it will add up to 268,78€ (247,64€ for the N7 and 21,14€ for shipping with borderlinx) which I don't think is too much more than we would pay if it was avaiable in our own country.

i placed my order paypal did not work so i used google wallet with my normal visa we will see ( it worked on the 7th try )

The 16GB version is available for pre-order on a Finnish web store (verkkokauppa) with 2-4 week delivery time. This is a company that has a web store as well as brick and mortar stores you can walk in to, so it looks like we get to enjoy jelly beans during the July if we are lucky. No word about the 8GB model.

And now the downside: The price has been listed as 449,90€. (Yes that is approx 565 USD including tax!) Although this company is known for posting a considerably higher price for the pre-order items before they can deliver, like 999€ for a phone that ended up being sold for 599€ etc. So no idea what the final price will be (until they answer my mail).

I myself am a bit on the edge with my buying decision. We don't get all the google play store goodies here in Finland. Also the device has no SD-card. I might get it after playing with it in the store though if it really impresses me.
