I'd recommend checking Swappa (very reputal site) and the price's are pretty decent, especially dependent on the condition of the device. - http://swappa.com/buy/nexus-5-unlocked/us

Look for a brand new or Mint condition device without ay noticeable or major defects.

You could also look at Craig's list in your locak area as well.

You can even check the IMEI/ESN number on that device for free (or any device) to make sure that the device it's legit, not blacklisted and etc.. - http://swappa.com/esn

Hope this helps and good luck on purchasesing and becoming the new owner of an N5.
If you can get one with all the paperwork and box you should be able to register it for warranty through Google and /or LG.
I purchased a brand new one thought swappa almost a year ago for $280 instead of some of the quite higher priced ones ( around $340 - $500 and etc..
I haven't had an singele issue with it at all.
Best phone I've ever owned!
 
Thanks. I've checked out that swappa before. Any non-retail online transaction makes me leery. You say you had a good transaction though.. I'll have to take another look.
 
I would have to be so very negative as to my opinion about Google and them selling anything.
Let me just say they are like 5 year olds selling lemonade on the front lawn. Wish the hell they could/would hire someone that could do the phones justice!!
 
I think Google/LG would be making a big mistake on their part by discontinuing the production of the N5. Obviously as we all know... Is a great, an awesome phone for the price, quality, screen size and even the demand for it (constantly out of stock or on a waiting list) and not to even mention the large development community and it's a Nexus device with guaranteed 18 or 24 (can't remember) month support and maybe even longer, look at some of the other Nexus device's.

Thanks. Mr. Lucky for the post on the N5 being back in stock.
OP should try and get one straight from Google of possible.
 
If i didn't have one already, i would call Google immediately, and order one. IMHO, the Nexus 6 is the reason that Nexus 5 sales are climbing. Epic FAIL.:p
 
I know its not much use to you... but thought some people might be interested in knowing that its still in stock in the UK

Well I hope Google have learnt that the Nexus 5 still has real value.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

That was kind of T-Mobile's philosophy on the first galaxy s phone. Up till the release of the Samsung galaxy S 4, the galaxy S was still being sold in tmobile stores and online it was finally pulled from the line up when OTA's and security batch updates were stop.
 
Amazon and ebay always have new ones for sale. They might be a few dollars more than normal, but at least you can still get a new one.
 
Just noticed (probably everyone noticed before me-- I'm a little slow sometimes ;) ) that the Nexus 5 is now listed as "no longer available for sale."

Knew it was coming, but sorry to see nonetheless.

I noticed that as well. Sad to see, I was actually planning on picking one up the next time they came in stock. I'm starting to feel that my N4 is due for retirement, but I'm not ready to commit to anything that could potentially be called a "phablet".

In lighter news, the new https://store.google.com/ is kind of gorgeous!
 
Slightly disappointing, as I was having problems with spontaneous re-starts. The last event was in early January and, touch wood, the problem doesn't seem to have re-occurred since.

My warranty runs out in December this year (it's 2 years in the UK) so I'm hoping the problem has been sorted once and for all, in case there turn out to be no replacement units available.
 
Yep, getting the spontaneous re-starts as well.

I love my Nexus 5, but if the future is a 6", I might have to be an adopter as well.

I've had my N5 since launch, I might be upgrading sooner rather than later. Although I'd like to wait until the new Nexus comes out at years end.
 
I've had the restarts as well, although they haven't been as frequnt recently... or at least I haven't been noticing them as much. Hoping 5.1 solves the problem. Although TBH they don't bother me that much since they never seem to happen while I am doing anything too important.
