Ebay, for yugioh cards when I was a little kid.

Ebay but now my love is for amazon
Inviato dal mio non so cosa con Tapatalk
Also eBay, for a digital camera. At the time, both were cutting edge! I still remember some concern around the feedback system on eBay, and whether I was sending money to some unknown person who I would never get the product from. How long ago that seems!
a ps3 game i think lol
ebay - a pair of 3.5mm headphone jack
A helmet on Ebay. Looooong time ago.
I don't usually shop online, but I bought a few things on Amazon.

Newegg for my first computer that I built. Those were some fond memories!
I bought a portable minidisc player in 1996 from Japan since they weren't released where i live.
I found an email adress to a japanese dude somewhere in a personal minidisc information site in japaneese and asked him if he could buy one and ship to me.
"Sure!" he said and i wired all the money directly to his bank account.
A couple of weeks later it arrived, perfectly packed and everything in order.
The "online" in this story is the emailing part i guess, but there werent much other options to online purchases back then.
The thread does not belong to the accessories section, next time check for the relevant section before starting a thread.

Thought I'd post this in case anyone in the Greater Vancouver Area (Canada) might want a dock at a discount. The Metrotown Bestbuy has at least 2 more for $49.99. Might be on sale at the other Bestbuys, but I don't know. The sale price tag was printed on the 27th, and I bought it yesterday. There was no posted end date for the sale. Who knows, maybe they're trying to get rid of them.
I wasn't planning on getting one, but I wanted another adapter for work and when I saw this, I figured I could take the stock adapter to work and use this at home.
Now that I have it, I actually like it quite a lot. Besides Webtop, it has a second mode just for viewing pictures, videos, and playing music. Comes with a small remote just for that mode.
Works well with my DiNovo keyboard in webtop. Also neat that it becomes a kind of touchpad/keyboard if you don't have any input devices at hand.
And for a phone to be able to do flash over my 1080p tv and do it quite smoothly is pretty impressive to me.
I'm actually much more tempted to get the lapdock after playing with this.
you have a link? maybe its in the flyer for your area? i just checked bestbuy.ca and its listed at 99.99.

No, it's neither posted on their website or anywhere else that I saw. It was just by chance that I happened to be there. The yellow price tag on it says something like, "49.99 - 50% off original price of $99.99". This is why I don't know whether the other Bestbuys have it on sale, since it isn't posted.
Since I only saw two at the Metrotown one, if you want it, I'd suggest you go as soon as possible.
*edit*: Ha, oops, I just noticed you're in Ottawa, so obviously you're not going to go as soon as possible...
I bought 1 and there is still 1 left at this particular Best Buy (Burnaby Metrotown).
i just picked one up yesterday, the sales rep was surprised to see it on sale too. thanks maledyris

Nice! So I guess that means it's on sale across the country. I find it kind of unusual that they don't advertise it, either in the flyers or on the website.
Just a heads up to the XDA crew, as of right now HD Speaker docks for the Xoom are $58.50 on Amazon, it says only 15 left.
Here's the link:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004M8RWDE/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&m=A7A8X63QUS8D4
The next lowest price is $85.99, so $58.50 is a pretty insane bargain, it's more than 50% below retail. I just snagged one.
a couple of weeks ago there was a deal on the Motorola/amazon page for speaker dock + wireless keyboard for $54... can't believe I missed it ;(
It depends when you got in on the deal. Reports vary, and I admit to getting in early only to find a very weak selection of accessories online. Yet there are tons that got in after I did and saw a completely differently stocked store, and "made off like bandits."

Got that deal. Purchased on the 18th. No sign of it or the keyboard yet...
Also, OP should be clear: this is $64 with shipping. Still a good deal (if you're in the market).

Thanks for the link! I printed off the page, went into my local Best Buy in Toronto, and they price matched it! So instead of paying $129.99 CDN, I paid $58.50 CDN!! I can't believe that I got away with it. I swore they were going to give me a hard time since it's Amazon.com instead of Amazon.ca, but to be honest, I don't think they even checked. They just looked at the price on the printed page and gave it to me, no questions asked

I'm on my phone now so it's really hard to copy and post links. Plus it came up on the app in suggestions. But if you search for it. I'm sure you can find it.
Thought for sure yall would like that find.
Just got a third. Three wall adapters and micro USB cables for under 10 bucks. Can't beat that.

Can't believe nobody has posted about buying this.
Whoa that's cheap! Thanks!
EDIT: Apparently the cost of shipping the to my place costs more than the charger itself. :/
Not exactly economical.
Make sure you check to buy it from Yellowdeals. Look on the right under more buying choices. I believe that is what the OP is pointing too. Thanks for posting the deal.

Last night I went to YellowDeals' merchant page. They have tons of OEM products and free shipping for all of em.
Also I got a different price on my pc. Is Amazon still doing the different prices for different people crap they in trouble for a couple yrs ago? On pc, it was 3.18. Not much difference, but still.
Ordered a few to have as back up. Can't best that price. Thanks

I recently lost mine. I have other chargers around the house but another "Samsung" one would be nice. And you can't beat that price. Thanks for the heads up.
Bought two, thanks for the heads up.
I just got 4! need one for each computer XD
I got mine from Seller1ON1. Charger+cable+car charger, all for 9.44 with free shipping. All are samsung branded, chargers look 'slightly used' with scratches. But they are pretty legit Samsung ones.
Anybody find one on the Canadian amazon list? I could use another one for myself.
thank you for this. just picked one up.

I'd have to agree with that. But most of if not all of those same accessories ship from Hong Kong too...everything ordered from the site I posted might cost a few bucks more, but they're shipped from the USA and arrive much faster. To some, that's worth the few extra bucks spent.

I am always willing to pay a little extra to get it from the states. I order stuff because I want it now, not in 3 weeks. I have my eBay app set up to show only US sellers for that reason alone. I know it's all the same stuff. I contacted Amazon about putting that feature into their app twice, with no response

All those recognized name brands had to start off as unknowns at one point aswell. People these days cant seam to grasp that concept tho. Lots of times thats where NEW ideas come from. The NEW guys.
I know this has been mentioned before, and we sound like a broke record. But in my frustration I must say this again.
It's impossible to find any Samsung accessories on any online retailers besides eBay at outrageous prices.
Been trying to find the HDMI MHL adapter: 3PHPBEGXAR
For the Note 10.1, and after 10 pages on Google full of retailers that are OUT OF STOCK, it's clear Samsung has no intention of making customer's happy after their initial purchase.
Even Asus, a much smaller company has made their accessories available at my local retailer at a good price let alone online.
This is unacceptable.
Could be. Try here. I just got my book cover from them.

Send it to my business and I will forward it to you.
PM me if you would like to. You pay the exact shipping nothing else. Just trying to help.
Thanks for the offer. Appreciate the kind gesture. I decided to order the Tab 7 dock instead, on Amazon. $27 shipped to Canada.
XDA Users report it also works for the Note 10.1
CostCaption has some rather hideous ratings on http://www.resellerratings.com/store/view/CostCaptain/page/2
I'd be careful before ordering from them, especially if the product has to take detour first.

I have the tab dock and it works perfect. Glad you got it sorted. You will like it! It's pretty cool, I have a bluetooth keyboard/mouse by ianker and its amazing.

I totally agree, its soooo hard to find accesories for note 10.1. It would be great if they do something on this area coz i really love my note.

+1 scandalous pricing for the HDMI cable and still not dedicated HDMI / MEDIA Dock, Apple are expensive but at least the gear is available. SAMSUNG FAIL. I've order the tab7 dock to, looking forward to my little DIY project.
What tab 7 dock are you guys talking about. The ones I've seem have corners that would prevent the note 10.1 from fitting
just bought a All in One card reader, CF, Sd, MS, microSD, for the galaxyTab... works fine on Note10.1
bought it at the market in Vietnam for 10$ ^^ No offical accesoir tough.
Dude, if you register your device on Samsung's website, they send you a 50%-off code. I got the $99.00 AllShare Cast Media Hub for 49.00 & the desktop dock for like $15.00. I also picked up a navigation mount with USB auto charger for the GS3 for $10.00 (nicest nav dock I've seen in awhile, very solid.). You can use it for up to ten items on Sammy's accessories on their website.
All share cast is not available on Samsung website
