Got this in my email. I'm not sure how I got this as I don't recall being on their mailing list.
Has anyone dealt with this mob previously?

bugga beat me lol ;-)
yeah its a factory refurb, a warning about reading the fine print on these things (http://bit.ly/WqQxkR)
It's factory refurb.
$229 delivered.
I thought it says "Includes nationwide delivery "
What a stupid web site !! It says "Don't pay in excess of $250 " but says the discount is from $300 not $250. Then its says "just $229 with free delivery to your door" but its only $199 when you add to cart !!
That's where I got $229 from.
80% of new price for a used tablet? They're dreamin'.
But claims 33% discount !? If they start with such a blatant lie, how will the warranty support go?
Only Apple can do something like that.
Its not a used tablet its a returned refurbished tablet. Still would get this over a Generic tablet.
Why would they refurbish something that was never used?
Because it was faulty and never could've been used.
Why call it refurbished then? If the parts that are faulty are replaced with new parts that aren't, and no person outside of manufacturing has touched it, then it's new.
I purchased one.
It is advertised as being 3G. That was the clincher for me. If it isn't 3G when it arrives, I will make appropriate sacrifices to the OB Gods!
Other than that, $199 for a pretty decent unit is fine by me.
I think the 3G is a typo.. Only the 32GB version has 3G. ( No worries, still a good buy ) AU$249.00 + $19 Shipping from google.com

WiFi + Mobile data
32 GB
Unlocked
U just bet me to it….3G only comes in 32GB…so what you have bought is only the 16GB wifi version…
Honestly..$199 vs $268..I'd buy the new one…
Around 28% Discount VS new.. :) either way is really just a personal preference.. if you have money to burn the 32GB Version is even better.
I thought 3G was only on the 32gb versions???? I am no expert though so with luck I am wrong.
You could buy Toshiba AT100 less than 200.00 if stock available
Plus from me despite the dodgy description
Good to see someone updated there page based on I presume a call or email … no 3G any longer and the $229 typo has been fixed.
$300 is still mentioned though and that's a downright lie!
Super tempted to buy this, have been scanning for a nexus 7 deal for weeks.
Are there any other places that these tabs might show up refurbished?
Wouldnt buy refub when you can get brand new for $30 or so extra with pickup. I bought 2 at HN livepool syd for 229 pre xmas. Just had to barter a bit
