It's super easy to resell them, it took me a couple days last year even though they were the QC35 II (which were heavily discounted right and left around Black Friday). It'll be only easier this year with the 700. Sure, it'd be much easier for everyone to get a $200 discount but that just hasn't happened at all after preorders.

Yes it did: https://www.engadget.com/2018-11-15-google-pixel-3-black-friday-deals.html https://www.engadget.com/2018-11-15-google-pixel-3-black-fri... That's the reason I prefer to wait.

  That's completely irrelevant to last year's models. And there were no preorders for the Pixel 3.

    Irelevant for Pixel 5 (which was more of a midrange phone compared to the rest of Pixels), but relevant for Pixel 3 and 4 at least. There were preorders for Pixel 3, I know because I preordered it.

      You're right, I checked, there were pre-orders, which made zero sense given there was no promotional offer of any kind and very little demand then. Anyway the Pixel 3 and 4 were pretty big flops. Pricey and uninteresting devices, with abysmal battery life for the non-XL variants. I remember third party sellers fire-selling their stock of Pixel 3s during summer 2019. The 5 and the 6 are priced a lot more reasonably, Google probably doesn't need to do anything to sell their current stock, so if you believe you'll get better than $200 headphones, good luck with that.

        Pixel 3 and 4 were great devices, and 4 is one of its kind because it has Face Unlock. And has better CPU then 5, which was more mid range phone. If Google ads $200 headphones, it means they are afraid they won't be able to sell a lot of phones. I wanted to buy a second Pixel 4, year after release, there was no such option it was sold out. I had non-XL variants (I have normal hands, XL are for giants) and I don't complain about battery, but I'm always near places where I can charge my phone. At work I just put it on Pixel Stand.
