Hackulous shutdown

Heh, the Google Nexus 4 is $299 in the US, 700 € in Greece. Talk about a ripoff.

I'm going to guess that the €700 figure is a reseller. It's £239 including 20% VAT in the UK, which works out to €300.

Of course it's not actually in stock, so carriers are charging £400 for it out of contract because they can.

It's the equivalent of Best Buy for Greece, I don't think it's a reseller (I'm not sure how a reseller works, though).

If it's 239 in the UK unlocked, it would be very easy to just get it shipped to Greece via Amazon. I'll have a look, thank you!

EDIT: Do you have a link? All I can find on Amazon is this:

which is 450 quid, which is 550 Eur...

A reseller is a person or business which buys goods only to sell them to someone else. Retailers fit in this category.

Oh, yes, it wasn't directly from Google itself.

LG has also apparently been charging a much higher wholesale price to everyone except Google.
