Refurb nexus 7 from Argos (parcel motel)

messinkiapina

Nicked from HDUK. Last years models. 16gb @ £99 or 32gb @ £119

I'm tempted myself, but the lack of a HDMI out has always stopped me getting a nexus

Thanks OP, great value. Only slightly more expensive than the cheap crap tablets doing the rounds in aldi/tesco

Just bought the 32g for my son to replace the cheapie chinese one he got for christmas last year - the eken w70. It was a great little bargain tablet but screen smashed by his 5 yr old sister. Thanks op

I'd say they are on their phone, does that sometimes multiply posts by not letting you know it was posted.

I think they will only work with the 2013 model, not the 2012 one?

Went with a 32GB. Even as a refurb, I think that's cracking value @ ~€145.

Lucky boy getting 3 of them!

If only!! Probably could do with a standby or 2 given the number of times the old one got dropped!

I was posting from my Samsung tablet last night and it double posted - then when I tried to delete one, another one popped up so I gave up! Seems to be happening to a few posts lately...

Ordered one. Great offer. Thanks OP.

Anyone know where I can order one of the official cases for this model? Amazon isn't throwing up results for it.

Think I got one of last 16gb, cheers op. What do they retail for new?

ewj1978

16gb are on argos for €170 new. so a great saving.

Looks like Argos refurb stock is gone. Dabs outlet are also selling the 32gb version at £110. The warranty is only 6 months though, 3 month manufacturer's warranty + 3 months from dabs.

The cheapest place I've seen a NEW one is the carphonewarehouse UK site. 16gb ones are £119 there.

That's the 2012 version.

Yes, when I say 'new' I mean a new and unused 2012 version, rather than a refurb.

32GB refurb back in stock here at GBP£120, showing as 55 available but will probably go fast like last time.

Anyone received theirs? Mine checked into parcel motel NI today at 2pm

Not sure if it will arrive in the locker tommorow though with it being Sunday, and of course they are very busy with Christmas rush

Using maybe Firefox or a different browser you should, its just Chrome really that hates Firefox..
