in case you are wondering...

About daily steals. I asked if they have the nexus 4 in stock or if they buy them then ship them. Here is the email I got.

Hi Corey,

In general most of our orders are purchased following the sales date, as we are able to get bulk discounts on them that we reflect in the prices we sell the items for.

So this would be an instance of not having the Nexus in stock, and having to wait to receive them before shipment.

I hope this helps, and please let us know if you need anything else.

Thanks, Matt

maybe they did know before us...I thought so!

That also means everyone but these guys are limited to 2. Good job Google.

Bulk discount?

Did you ask them what's the point in a bulk discount if the price is still higher than the play store?

 

[corance]

No but it pisses me off to no end that they can buy in bulk while we have to hope to even get one!

Are they getting them from Google or LG?

Doesn't matter. I just want something to complain about.

and it's also possible that Google isn't giving them any special deal, they are just taking orders and gonna fight out with a bunch of user accounts just like us. I doubt that Google has any incentive to give anyone but T-Mobile volume orders at this point.

At least you're honest about it.

I think that is probably likely. If google can't keep up with the demand, what incentive would they have to sell a bunch at a bulk discount? That doesn't even make sense.

Was the coy thread title really necessary? Just saying.

That's new.
