If you're looking to buy a P9, definitely do so at Best Buy over Google store:

1. BB GC has more flexibility vs. Google Store credit
2. BB will deduct taxes off your trade = more saving
3. Trade instore = no headache vs. send in trade to Google's 3rd party
4. Easy return/replacement should there be some defects. Google CS is horrid.

Check the trade in values against the Google Store. Best Buy has a better trade in for the 6a but Google a better one for the 8.

Though a $100 Best Buy gift card is better for most people than a $100 Google Store credit, so that's a factor too.

Oddly enough, the 12 pro max is only $420 trade in. Best buy doesn't know what they're doing do they.
That's the same value I got yesterday morning. What I believe is too many people already traded in a 12 pro max and so as far as Best Buy's consider the market is flooded. As when I switch carriers the value for the 12 Pro Max changes.

I picked up a 12 on ebay. I'm hoping BestBuy doesn't cancel my order or something else goes wrong and I end up stuck with a 12 for no reason.
edit: my refund showed up real quick. I was told here if best but accepts it in store, it's a sure thing you'll get refunded.

The eBay refurbished ones are sure to have 30 day free returns (and truthfully they're usually the same price as used). At least that was my experience with the iPhone 11 for Pixel 8 trade deal.

how much? I'm seeing about 250 average and swaooa which is still kinda high? I got the 8a and I can't return it till the 18th but I have no phone to use imao.

Pretty sucks
I paid $250 for "good" so I can get the full $799. I also got the 256GB P9.
My math says
$270 iPhone 12 ($250 + tax)
$174 P9 Out the Door after trade-in ($100 for 256GB + $74 tax)
$444 Out the door for P9 256GB + $100GC

I think that's in line with typical black Friday Pixel deals, but without having to give up my current phone.

Actually, I suspect that we'll end up being charged taxes on $145 (the non-promotional portion). Essentially, they end up dropping the sale price of the phone to $145 when the transaction is finalized … so they charge that amount plus tax and then they apply a credit of $145 for the actual trade-in part. At least, that's basically how it worked on the Pixel 7 deal from a couple years ago. The way they do it is kind of convoluted.
my cart shows $47.94 for taxes (Michigan) which corresponds to the 6% sales tax in michigan

Yes … that's the way it will show up until the trade-in is completed. At that point, it re-works the transaction. But instead of acting as an $800 charge, it changes it to a $149 charge for the phone (the promotional portion of the trade essentially acts like a price-adjustment) and then the base trade-in value ($149 for the iPhone 12) gets applied as a credit toward the total. Again, I'm just basing it on how their previous Pixel deal worked.

what does "good" condition translate to? I have an iphone 12 64GB. idk how to classify the condition. i have several scratches on the screen, and the battery health is at like 77%. i was considering just trading mine in, but if it's worth more than some iphone 12 i can get on ebay, then i could just order one on ebay

oh I see thanks. still debating whether or not to get the pixel since I have a bunch of other apple products. maybe there'll be a good deal for pixel->iphone trade in, but I doubt it. the deals always seem to be the other way around

how is best buy with returns on unopened pixels? I just made the order, but I'm hesitant to change from iphone to pixel given that i have a bunch of apple products (macbooks, ipad, airpod, icloud storage, etc...). looks like the pixel won't arrive for a few weeks so gives me more time to decide and i can return the pixel if i end up changing my mind

should be fine, bb not picky and as long as it's not cracked it should be good to go.

ah okay cool. i dropped by an apple store on saturday and they also said they don't care about the battery condition or the scratches (which they distinguish from actual cracks) if i were to trade it in to apple ($200 trade in value)
