Before too many of you make a mistake, we wanted to remind you that Google recently dropped the price of the 16GB Nexus 7 to $199. That’s right, 1SaleADay’s deal today, is not a deal. At $220, even with free shipping, their 16GB N7 is more expensive than if you were to buy it straight from Google.
Cheers Joshua!
All depends on your situation. #YMMV
This article is BS. This is way cheaper than if I were to buy straight from Google with SHIPPING AND TAX. Next time don’t bash a website when they’re offering a better deal than Google.
Or you could just buy it from Walmart, or some other retail store.
Keep it simple…buy from B&H. No tax and no shipping for everyone outside New York.
But Engadget said that I should pay more for technology!
Then believe what you want.
Never had an issue with 1SaleADay, bought plenty of items.
i live in TN where sales tax is nearly 10%. that plus shipping brings a nexus 7 up to almost $235. this is cheaper. its a deal.
Elsewhere online at $199 with no tax and free shipping = better deal
And that deal is where exactly?
At this very instant I don’t know. J&R had it but its sold out: http://www.jr.com/asus/pe/ASU_NEXUS7_SL_1B16/
BHPhotoVideo still lists it at $250 but I’m guessing it will drop soon: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/878214-REG/ASUS_NEXUS7_ASUS_1B16_Nexus_7_Tablet.html
Sams club was showing free shipping and no tax for me.
Sams club has this deal. I’m in Texas
Actually it is cheaper. Google charges $20 shipping and $20 tax for me so it will save me $20 if i order through them.
This is true. I just checked.
Look everybody, this is a comment by someone who actually used their brain.
No /s here.
$225.93 here in Central Florida on the PlayStore. So the deal is better. Although local Walmart has Nexus 7 for tax, no shipping, so the 1SaleADay is more than that.
I paid the same here in Ohio…$225.93
Still see some listing on Craigslist for $200 to $250!
I paid $228.43 to buy the 8gb from goole when it was $199. Now that the 16gb is the same price (Minues the $25 credit) I do not see why NOT to buy from here EVEN IF Shipping is $5. Maybe next time consider taxes…
$15.44 for taxes and $13.99 for shipping directly from Google.
I still had to pay taxes with this deal. Even with free shipping Google was cheaper w/ Tax and S&H. #YMMV
$199 from the Play Store BEFORE tax and shipping.
Pro tip: Factor in all costs BEFORE making a comparison.
Shipping is 13.99 and no tax (in LA). Still cheaper than $220.
I’m guessing by LA you mean Louisiana?
48* states. Oregon has no sales tax.
Replied to the wrong person.
So the title of the article only holds true if you live in Cali. How unfortunate for the residents of the other 49 states.
False. CA most definitely has sales tax. Like I said, I think he means Louisiana.
From the sound of it you have to wait a lifetime to receive anything from this company. Upwards of 3 weeks.
Only one time took a few weeks…Most of my items shipped within a week
And they usually have good deals…
I hate that site. So. bloody. much.
why?
Read the headline. Overpriced. And the N7 isn’t the only item that they are trying to make you pay up the arse for either.
The headline is misleading and untrue.

I’ve bought a ton from them.. been VERY happy so far. They usually have some great deals! Probably just didn’t realize the price change.. I’m pretty sure they didn’t do it on purpose..
Check them first. Some woots aren’t deals.
Woot.com is still a deal. but you need to be careful. a brand to brand comparison is safe but a brand to similar brand is not always a deal. you can often get the same thing under a different name for less.
Some of their stuff isn’t any better than Amazon. Weird because I thought they were a subsidiary of amazon.com
They pay you to say that? lol
I’ve bought several items from them and haven’t had any issues. Besides, the title of the article has been disproven.
Ha. Nope. Just great previous purchases. It’s just amazing that a website gets bashed and called a “scam” because one product on their site isn’t a stellar deal. Sad.
as a person who does deals with Groupon and other deal a day sites, they should know exactly where the market is prior to launching this. and they should have scratched the deal and ran another.
Or instead of $199, $150 WOULD be a deal.
Or if you’re buying from the Play Store, you’re going to be charged $14 in shipping and whatever tax is in your state. But let’s just ignore those factors, yeah?
Or more likely they are sitting on older stock and would take a loss marking it down from the new $199 price.
bahaha thats it u win

Misery. I missed the boat on the sale yesterday for the 32gb at RadioShack. hoping to get a N7 during Black Friday!
I think the tablet is already a steal. If anything, you’ll find the 16GB go for $195 and a gift card on Black Friday. Won’t get much lower than that I would expect.
It’s a great deal. And superior to the competition. It’s also superior to my pocket money right now…
