$99, $149 HP Touchpad fire sale beginning Sunday Dec 1, 6 PM CST. Refurbs but they are also to have heavily discounted accessory packages.

http://stores.ebay.com/hewlettpackard

They will be under the laptops group, each ebay user is limited to two touchpads.

You're correct. One site had it at $129, all others have it at $149. Thanks!

They have the 4 Touchpads up now, 5:37 est, but they are $499.99 and $599.99. Are they going to drop down to the $99 and $129 or $149 at 7 est?

bahgee · 12-11-11, 04:47 PM

I see some of those sold toady.

JCWBobC · 12-11-11, 05:06 PM

It looks like 27 of the 16GB sold in the last hour.

Make that 32 that have sold so far.

bahgee · 12-11-11, 05:41 PM

either folks don't know about the sale or are hoping for a price adjustment if the prices do indeed drop?

JCWBobC · 12-11-11, 05:43 PM

45 16GB sold at $500 and 19 32GB sold at $600. Not a bad day for HP and the sale hasn't even started yet.

They are listed as immediate payment required so they're taking a chance on putting out $1,000 for 2 and hoping HP with give them back the difference from the sale price. If they do give a price adjustment then what's the point of even having a start time for the sale?

rduncan · 12-11-11, 05:51 PM

Some think it's HP employees with some sort of "Coupon" or employee discount.

Deftones · 12-11-11, 05:53 PM

figures the site would come to a complete crawl right now.

starman9000 · 12-11-11, 06:03 PM

149$ ones are showing up now.

JCWBobC · 12-11-11, 06:03 PM

Can't connect to the page. Keeps going to a Problem loading page screen.

starman9000 · 12-11-11, 06:04 PM

99$ there now too. $19 shipping though.

bahgee · 12-11-11, 06:12 PM

1 in cart, but payment screen won't load!

Deftones · 12-11-11, 06:14 PM

now just getting items invalid every time i try.

JCWBobC · 12-11-11, 06:14 PM

As soon as they changed to $99 at 7PM I hit Buy it Now and it is still loading.

starman9000 · 12-11-11, 06:23 PM

The amount sold jumped from 500 to over 2300 for the 99$ units. Didn't get one to go through, but didn't really try to hard either.

Deftones · 12-11-11, 06:26 PM

$99 ones are gone.

JCWBobC · 12-11-11, 06:28 PM

Well that sucked!!!

JCWBobC · 12-11-11, 06:34 PM

I just did a search for HP Touchpad on Ebay and their is one up to $610 used and it doesn't even come with a charger.

bahgee · 12-11-11, 06:38 PM

JCWBobC · 12-11-11, 06:39 PM

I finally got to the review your purchase page but it gave me the same error.

yep. same for me. fucking bullshit. although, this with tax and shipping was only $15 cheaper than a kindle fire.

JTH182 · 12-11-11, 07:53 PM

I was on my phone trying to buy the 16GB model as soon as it went live, but got to the paypal screen and got an error. I assumed I needed to be on a real computer... but were all of you getting the paypal error on a real computer too?

If so, I'll only be slightly less upset I didn't get in on this.
