I just went to a Verizon store to get the XOOM keyboard and it was 59.99 rather than the 79.99 they advertise and the 69.99 at bestbuy and walmart...

The $79.99 is the sticker price. $59.99 is after a 25% discount. I got my keyboard from the verizon store a few days ago and it's still $79.99. I got it for the lower price because my work has a corporate discount with verizon.
The normal price is still $79.99 which is $10 more than anywhere else.
you may be right, they asked me my phone # and our account gets I think 20% off from work.... either way the keyboard is AWESOME.
I had a MAC keyboard on my gtab and had to run a script everytime to get it to connect and then it was flakey, this is awesome
saw it for
$62.99 on Amazon (no tax and free 2-day shipping for prime). I don't bother with retail stores anymore unless I absolutely have to.

The standard corporate discount is 25% off on accessories which is what would make $79.99 go down to $59.99. The keyboard is pretty awesome indeed. I love the fact that I can also use it with my xperia x10 and even a pc if I wanted to. The messaging button on it doesn't do anything with the xoom as far as I know and it doesn't work quite right on the x10 either. I think that's probably because it was made mainly for the Atrix and then the Xoom.

That's pretty much what I paid when I got it from Verizon after taxes, so for anyone without a discount through them this is the best offer I've seen so far. The cheapest I've seen it go for in retail is $69.99 and you still have to pay taxes.
just got mine today. I love it. Makes typing so much faster, but now i feel like i have a laptop.

Death to local businesses? lol
I think Im going to have to go with Amazon on this one.
Ok, so I found this site that sells wholesale electronics called ElecStreet. It says you can purchase an unlocked SGS II Epic 4G Touch for $202.50 at the lowest "VIP" price.
I need to know if this looks legit or if anyone has purchased merchandise from this site.
The site also says if you buy two items and spend over $400, you get a free iPod Touch or Sony PSP. ???
Please feel free to investigate!

Yep.
On the bottom, their "certifications" stickers are not clickable to verify, which they should be. And their one "Verify" button points to some Chinese website.

I can tell you that they are a China based company. That being said I know nothing else about them, and everything they sell looks in now way legit AT ALL.
For example:
http://www.elecstreet.com/views.asp?hw_id=2485
That is an Apple iMac MC814LL/A for $399(359.10 VIP according to them) That is a $2000 Apple computer. No way in hell a company even at wholesale would ever be able to sell that computer for even their non-VIP price.
They also advertise
http://www.elecstreet.com/views.asp?hw_id=2454
That is a Sony VAIO Z Series VGN-Z591U which retails for $3200-$3400 and they want under $400 for it. Not even possible to obtain it for that price, even if they got it straight from the Sony factory.
My official statement is they are going to take your money and hide in their country, and you will be forced to dispute the claim with your bank.
Yeah don't do it bro. You will send money to them and u wont see anything.

this is why i buy crap on ebay from china sellers. if its a fake phone you get, you also get a refund because they are advertising it as legit. take a screen shot of the page before you buy.

I have found that they are a real Trading company in China, they have a phone number, physical address and live chat support that is not automated or a bot.
The live chat person said that PayPal was not available until AFTER the first purchase which is through Western Union.
I can't find any bad reviews or customers saying it is a scam or that they had an issue with the site.
I just don't know.
Ummm hello! That yells you right there, pay by western union, lmao! I hate for you to lose your money, but I won't feel bad for you as there are plenty of people warning you!
Once you pay via western union then you can use paypal, LOL that is a good one!!!

The thing is, they told me I can't use PayPal until after being a return customer, with that being said, they want me to send a Western Union payment to a Zhen Zhang?
I just don't trust it...
Oh, and the reason you don't see bad reviews is they will burn that site out in a week, change a few pics and make a new site. They post on craigslist all the time, same crap!

the sketchy part is the western union. i mean, the whole site is sketchy, but paypal is safe. if you have to do western union first then i wouldnt do it. you might be able to check with paypal to see if they have any complaints against the site.

there is a guy on craigslist selling this phone new in box for 350. i might pick it up tuesday if i feel like it. who knows, maybe he purchased some from this company and is making a profit. as long as the esn is clear im happy.
So I read on reddit about Moto 360 being $100 at RadioShack due to them going out of business and I called my local store and luckily they had one in stock. They won't tell you the price on phone, you have to go in and then they will punch in the 60% discount code which brings it down to $100 + tax. This is a great deal thought I let folks here at XDA know.

Here is what you do
1) Look at the document from RadioShack (google: radioshack closing stores pdf)
2) Use search on your PC/Mobile find"nearest one" I searched for Brooklyn.
3) go to radioshack.com type your zip-code check that store if it shows: Availiable
4) RUN THERE! lol
Profit = 100.00+ tax
I can confirm this in NC
I went to a Radioshack in Roxboro, NC that is closing soon and saw they have about 4 moto 360s for $100 a pop. I bought 2. Went to 3 Radioshacks in Durham, NC and two weren't closing just yet, the 3rd was but unfortunately pretty much only had cables and other crap left. Apparently they packed up all the quality stuff right before.
I tried a bunch and can't find any

I doubt anyone who got it for 100$ would even sell you for the same price,when they can put it on ebay for 200$.
I suggest you look at the list of all closing stores and drive to few that you feel are close to you.

I doubt it. The whole point of these steep discounts is to clear inventory for that particular store. So there would be no point to ship it to a store where they're trying to clear all the existing stock.
Nothing available in the Seattle area, it looks like.
Not just for the watch
The ones closing in my area were knocking prices off everything 80% I dropped like 3k on all kinds off and have made my money back on selling it and am keeping the things I want. I got a note 4 edge store demo in mint condition for 130 bucks lol and I sold it for 500 because I like my mate 7 better and they even sim unlocked it for me.
Maybe I should have bought one
This is the link on Slickdeals. Personally, I want to wait for the newer one, which is likely why they're having this on sale in the first place, but this is super tempting. If anyone wants to take advantage of this deal, here you go! It's taking me all of my self-control to not make the purchase.

I bought one at this price today. I had one I (steel band) I paid $299 for and returned. Couldn't stomach the price for an accessory. But $179 sealed the deal for me.
I checked the date on my receipt, was hoping I could get a price match. Sadly, it's been 35 days
Picked one up today. 179.00 crazy they had open box 360 same style not the steel for 224.00 that makes no sense

Same deal here, metal band, plus student discount, plus, a few giftcards with some lingering balances. Got the metal band for $170, finally pulled the trigger.
So after I just purchased the one with leather band yeaterday. I noticed online that they dropped the price for the one with the steel band to 220. To it back and made the swap.

If you guys checked the slickdeals thread... You can get a ZTE Zinger ($40) + Moto360 and get an additional $100 off. I used that and the $25 student coupon. Came down to $102 ish w/ tax and used a gift card that was laying around. Dropped it to a grand total of $77 out the door.

I did the exact same thing today, but my total was $143 because I got the black stainless steel version. I'm going to take the phone back tomorrow and get my $40 back... That means I got a Black Stainless Still Moto 360 for $94.99 + taxes I super pumped.
Black 360 $220
Zte Zinger $40
Total $260 - $100rebate & $25 student discount = $135
Returning the phone tomorrow, final price $95.

Several people over on Slick Deals have confirmed they have returned their cheap android phones for a refund without a problem. They've also posted receipts, I think the only reason it works is because you don't get a discount on the phone all the discounts are listed under the watch. So unless you returned the watch there's nothing to charge...
Oh nice!

Exactly what I did. Around $102 out the door. Also, doing the Verizon Trade-In deal on the ZTE Zinger that will give me a $100 VZW credit that I can swap for cash with my parents. So in the end, the Moto 360 only cost me like $2!!! :good:
Hope it comes soon!Anyone else importing this to the USA? Hope it works out okay!
You could have saved some money, it's $650 on geekbuying.com. If you pay with paypal, it's $600. I will probably get it too but I'm not paying these early prices, waiting till drops below $600.

Sorry, most of the stores have terminated all but the smallest discounts to protect their profit margins. I snagged up a
pretty big 15% discount, less than 5 minutes later, friend reported it failed when he tried it. I'll post where I got mine after I actually get it, if I'm scammed I'd rather be the only one, it does seem a little too good to be true.
Do note that some resellers are flexible so if they have a live chat option, you can ask for discounts, tell them you barely missed a coupon and politely ask, they should drop the price a little.
I've invested quite a bit of time hunting for a deal. For every site I found, there were mixed reports, some had a smooth ride, others had bad experiences.
Mine just shipped with a DHL tracking number from AliExpress. Can't wait!
Sweet, yours came from the 1st batch that sold out in 58 seconds. I don't have a tracking number yet. You'll be the first owner on xda that I know of
I hope case makers start selling cases now. The one in the package doesn't seem like it it can prevent fall damage.

That's the strange part. I got a text message from DHL Express with tracking info and all. Followed it all the way to the door. Never knew they did that.
