Villman starts selling 32GB Nexus 7 at Php13,995

Since the announcement of the 32GB model of the Nexus 7, the original 16GB model was reduced to a price tag of just $199 in the US. Asus Philippines is finally set to release the 32GB in the Philippines this month, skipping the 16GB. Villman went ahead is now selling the 32GB.

We earlier reported that a confirmation from an Asus Product Manager points to November is the release date of the 32GB WiFi-only model of the Nexus 7.

The 32GB Nexus 7 is being sold by Villman at a retail price of Php13,995 which isn’t bad considering the internal storage.

We believe this is already the SRP (suggested retail price) set by Asus Philippines since the last time I talked to them, this amount was being contemplated.

Smart has also recently announced, via Twitter, that it will be offering the Nexus 7 soon and it will come with a plan. We think that model will be the 3G model of the 32GB and the plan will be included under the UnliData packages.

    13,995 / 1.12 = 12,495. this

    is how you deduct the 12% VAT. roughly it’s a fair price. ayaw mo na patubuin supplier? lol

  5. Avatar for David David says:

    Well, I was trying to compare the price with the 12% VAT excluded, but I think I miscalculated. P13,995 – 12% = P12,315 (20% markup pre-tax).

    You’re only only charged US state sales tax if you order something from a business that’s in your state. And some states have no sales tax, anyway. So its often not an issue for online purchases if you order from the right place.

    Holy Sh…..

    I just bought 16gb 2 Weeks ago, Now i want to sell it already, (if anyone intersted, hit me up) LOL

    Luckily OTG is working very well with it. So 32gb is not an issue to me, but damn now it support data network connection. that’s sucks.

    May price drop daw ang Nexus 7 16GB? http://www.t3.com/news/google-to-pay-difference-after-nexus-7-price-drop

  13. Avatar for David David says:

    The going price in the US is about $250 (~ P10,200). Even discounting the VAT (which is probably included in the P13,995), it’s about a 24% markup here.

    • Avatar for Abe Olandres Abe Olandres says:

      You forgot to include the State Tax which is between 6% – 12% which is added after you make the order.

    I confirmed that 13,995 is for cash payment only. :(

    • Avatar for chopotka chopotka says:

      This is frigging overpriced! Hopefully I’ll get mine at 319 British pounds (roughly 21K if converted to peso) when my brother arrives from UK next week.

    • Avatar for Abe Olandres Abe Olandres says:

      @chopotka – you forgot to add the 12% VAT.

  18. Avatar for Ron Ron says:

    I read somewhere Smart is going to offer Nexus 7 and the Nexus 4 soon. It’s best to wait before going on with Villman.

      Pano po yung tax pagdaan ng customs para sa mga taong walang mapapasabayang balikbayan box o walang kilalang uuwi ng pinas para personal nyang dalhin?

    • Avatar for r41 r41 says:

      Paano pag defective pala nakuha mo? Tawa nalang? :))

    • Avatar for jacob jacob says:

      I asked the asus service center about a month ago regarding warranty coverage. They said that if the nexus 7 was bought in a country with asus global warranty, they would honor it.

      Whether this holds true in actual practice is anybody’s guess.

    • Avatar for Mr A Mr A says:

      If the shipping cost holds true, then there would be other dealers that will on a much lower cost, maybe around 12-13K. While buying directly from google may cost you less, the risk of having your unit seized by a corrupt BoC or worse, missing is worth the extra the retailers or other dealers are charging.

  27. Avatar for Smokescreen Smokescreen says:

    I wonder what’s the official SRP per Asus. Villman’s is usually overpriced.

    • Avatar for Abe Olandres Abe Olandres says:

      I think this is SRP already since the last time I talked to Asus, this figure was the one we were talking.

    • Avatar for Fleeb Fleeb says:

      If that is the SRP then I expect to be paying the same amount for a straight CC payment. Baka biglang yan yung “discounted cash price” tapos yung “regular price” for CC transaction iba na.
