Apparently You Can't Resell Your 1500$ Google Glass if You're an Explorer

For those of you who've contemplated profitting off of a pair of these babies...looks like you're out of luck

Google Glass – Do Not Resell

 

[pbf98]

Wow, someone posted their glass on ebay (before he even received it and not knowing he wasn't supposed to do so) and the bids reached 95000+ ... this is a device that has been said to have a release date before the holiday season this year and have a price tag of 250 - 500USD .. and those figures come from google themselves ... people just need to be patient! haha

Last thing I read, Google said it would probably be a year before they were ready for the general public. It's still crazy how they got all of these people to compete for the chance to pay $1500 to be a beta tester lol.

 

[bluebayou]

the way I figure, those poor guinea pigs won't even get a properly polished product.

 

[pbf98]

I was staying quite up to date with it for a while, and in many interviews with team x members they said they see the release before the end of the year.

I too find it amusing that they were able to get people to pay them to be beta testers for the unfinished product.. But I am sure that there aren't too many major bugs being they have been tested by google employees before the beta test was started.

here is a video that I found a couple months ago that I liked (they even show the original prototype lol)

This is the article I was talking about:

Eric Schmidt says Google Glass retail units are about another year away

Well that's the whole point. This first release of glass is meant for Developers and people who want to try out before the final product (people with money most of the time) they want to be Guinea pigs

As per the title. After some advice. Should i or shouldn't I sell my google glasses. I know there is a lot of talk about break the terms etc from getting the pair.. But too be honest, it was a spur of the moment thing and I really haven't bothered with them to be honest.

Thought I would ask on here with it being a popular android forum and from what I have seen from lurking, advice is sound.

 

[breadnatty08]

Hmmm, there are some on eBay, so I'm assuming it doesn't break any contract. I'd certainly check with Google though.
Wow, looks like they're going for $3k+!
If you're not using them, why not?
Also, welcome to the forums!

 

[bigdanmma]

Yeah, there is a loophole in the terms that state they can be given as a gift but not sold commercially.

To be honest with you, I got caught up with all the hype of them and was one of the lucky ones to receive them. Not really my cup of tea. Will be the first to admit I am not the most tech minded of people. Think I just wanted them just to say I have them :-/

Didn't realise they were selling for that much. Wowsers

 

[breadnatty08]

google glass | eBay
Yep, crazy!
But, if you did sign a contract not to sell them, can't say I'd recommend it. Google is pretty quick to shut down auctions on their products.
Definitely not my cup of tea either. My Pebble does what I need to and I don't look like (too much of) an idiot wearing it.

 

[bigdanmma]

My thoughts exactly. Might try to sell them outside of eBay then, low key lol

 

[scary alien]

Yeah, it looks like there are definitely some stipulations against re-selling them that might hamper (stop) the buyer's or gift recipient's ability to use the device .

Terms of Sale ? Google Glass

Resale and Gifts

You may not commercially resell any Device, but you may give the Device as a gift, unless otherwise set forth in the Device Specific Addendum. Recipients of gifts may need to open and maintain a Google Wallet account in order to receive support from Google. These Terms will also apply to any gift recipient.

Glass Explorer Edition

This Device Specific Addendum only applies if you purchase a Glass Explorer Edition Device.

You must be 18 years or older, a resident of the United States, and authorized by Google as part of the Glass Explorer program in order to purchase or use Glass Explorer Edition. Unless otherwise authorized by Google, you may only purchase one Device, and you may not resell, rent, lease, transfer, or give your Device to any other person. If you resell, rent, lease, transfer, or give your device to any other person without Google

 

[bigdanmma]

Will have to 'gift' them then.... And receive a gifted payment in return. Exchanging gifts. I guess if I gift them at the original price then nothing can be said. To be honest I don't want or need to earn money from them. If I get my money back I am happy

 

[Mikestony]

I'll take them off your hands for free. I'm your pal remember me?
