    If its a 16Gb Nexus 7 you'll be lucky to get £70-£80 for it on ebay.

    Just to close the circle on this one - I bought it for £199 (Argos) and sold it yesterday for £200 on eBay. I think it held it's value pretty well :D

    Just back from holiday where I used my Nexus 4 with a Tru SIM for the week. Full use of Twitter, EMail, Google Maps, Internet and Facebook and got a great signal.

    Battery life seemed a bit less than in the UK, but I think the phone probably spent a bit more time searching for a signal.

    Oddly, when I put my iPhone back on at the airport this morning, I found myself trying to activate stuff from the notifications and hitting the Back button that wasn't there. So about a week is how long it takes to adjust! :D

    No you didn't,in the ebay app on my iPhone I'm watching lots Nexus 7's just to see how much they do go for. Which was yours from yesterday?

    The 32gb is only £180 brand we from CPW and the 16gb is discontinued.

    Yeah I stand corrected on that, I have 3 in my watch list that went for under £100 but they all have a scratched screen and one has no box or charger.

    Yes but he said his went for £200 NONE went for £200 yesterday. An one of the top 2 is sealed brand new in box. His was used.

    Actually both the top 2 from today are brand new in box sealed.

    One did indeed sell for £200 on the nose with 11 bids. Others sold for £225 and £239 I think. Can't remember the exact price.

    In my defence he did say he got it for £200 from argos, the 3G is £240 from argos so he must of got a deal.

    Oops, I'm really glad you pointed that out. I did a "sell one like this" on eBay not noticing that the one I copied was a 3G one. I have contacted the buyer offering his money back or an appropriate discount. I must say I was surprised as I was expecting nearer £160

    For anyone who might be interested or care, I did come to an amicable agreement with the buyer at £150, probably £10 less than I might have got had I listed it correctly but I would have spent that and more relisting it, so hey ho, I'll check a bit more carefully next time I list something on eBay.

    to be honest thats still not a bad 'gentlemans agreement' price. im impressed at how its held its value.

    Yep, losing 25% of its value since release isn't so bad. I think so far the worst device still in production to lose value was the Galaxy S3.

    But that was more down to heavy discounting by Samsung hurting used prices than anything else.

    Some people have been speculating that it's because of the warranty issues. If it breaks, Google refer you to LG and LG refer you to Google. Its as if they don't want to be responsible for it after sale.

    Ive tried a number of cases now for my Nexus 4 but the best by far is the Square One Slim Fit
