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

I believe that the prices are $99 (16GB) and $149 (32GB).

kayak99

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

I see some of those sold toady.

JCWBobC

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

Make that 32 that have sold so far.

bahgee

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

JCWBobC

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?

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

Deftones

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

starman9000

149$ ones are showing up now.

JCWBobC

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

starman9000

99$ there now too. $19 shipping though.

bahgee

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

Deftones

now just getting items invalid every time i try.

JCWBobC

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

starman9000

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

$99 ones are gone.

JCWBobC

Well that sucked!!!

JCWBobC

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

no luck, got all the way to paypal screen and then error after error

JCWBobC

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

Deftones

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

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.
