It's sort of hidden on the last page of checkout, middle of the page, not a space to put in code, but a link to open a small window to put in the code.

Works... That's ridiculous.

Not sure whether to pull the trigger -- still dreaming of the $200 Tab that got away.

I grabbed a couple for my daughter & her BF.

So far... Too bad that wasn't their intention and they're making little to no money on each tablet.

The only thing that'd worry me about the CPO Nook Color is the fact that not all NC's are created equal. I returned my first one due to a stuck pixel right in the middle of the screen and a couple elsewhere, along with a strange flicker issue. dougp I believe went through 2 or 3 before he got one that was acceptable - and there are new in box retail units. With CPO units, you won't have this luxury.

People still keep circulating that. They make ~$50 each. That's 25%, which isn't bad at all.

Not when you buy them pre-owned and refurbed

B&N already made their cash on these, if this reseller got them through some type of buyout program. If they're refurbs from product returns, then it's a nice tax write off. Also, this is a pretty low % of the units they sell.

Like I said, 25% is good. Especially when you consider that many electronics manufacturers survive on 8-12%.

Hopefully, the manufacturer's warranty will cover those issues, these CPO's come with a 1 year manuf warranty, although you'll likely have to mail them in for replacement.

If you RMA with B&N they pay shipping both ways. They even let me keep both chargers. They are a great tech company for their customers, probably because they don't have the experience of real tech companies.

That's a great price for a capable tablet. On the other hand, there's supposed to be an announcement coming of a new Nook tomorrow:

I would be shocked if it's not a new e-ink Nook though, so I wouldn't worry about that changing the Nook Color's position or price any time soon.

 

[MagickMan]

It's either a new e-ink version or a big 10" LCD model. Hell, maybe it's both, a 10" color e-ink for $500.

It's on sale for $199 today with no coupons. Haven't tried stacking a coupon on top because, well, I got a Tab.
