I asked to check if they had an item in stock didnt tell them what, and seemed clueless just looked it up by the item # & told me none in stock just like the online tracker said the same thing.

Target (and BB) employee theft (hiding until store closes) is prevalent in my area (Los Angeles), most of them are on slickdeals daily on their phones while working, they know whats on sale. A few times I had to embarrass employees into bringing one out of the cabinet somewhere in the store or in the back where they hide the "in stock" items using the excuse "o, it takes 24 hours for inventory to update" BS its all electronic, no electrons wait 24 hours and there is no manual input in a system that sells billions of items on a single day worldwide.

They know better not to lose their $3000/month job for a $34.76 savings on a stupid camera. So when push comes to shove and you are going to call the manager to search the locked cabinets (or even if you ask to see them) suddently one pops out. One BB employee claimed they "JUST HAD A DELIVERY" at 9pm and he found one in the back for me off the truck. LOL.

alkhe4life 02-12-2013 12:48 PM

Got the last one at West Covina after employees at Duarte hid their stock. Thanks West Covina target. Favorite target now.

Maybe i saw you hah, I just went to the one on Morril as well, seemed kind of fishy when she said that their distribution center "thought" they sent the ipads but they never did.

oh well.

wtiger91 02-12-2013 01:08 PM

called my local target which has it in stock but the rep said they didn't even receive any shipments and that its an error in the system. BS....

EDIT: called the one on Morril Ave in San Jose too lol

HAV0KK 02-12-2013 01:22 PM

Picked up the last one at university target in Tampa.

pankaj12 02-12-2013 01:24 PM

It was shown as available in Westborough, MA target store but when i reached there it was OOS by then. I then went to Walmart and got it price matched. Final price after taxes - $ 317

nagkarjun 02-12-2013 01:43 PM

all out of stock

gaijin4life 02-12-2013 01:48 PM

Got the last one at our store. Employee tried to pretend they didn't have any more, but when they opened the case, the spine had a 2020 on it, which was the end of the DPCI number for the 16GB black iPad3. I told them there was one right there, pointing to the only one in the whole case. They reluctantly sold it to me.

DON'T BELIEVE THE EMPLOYEES if the online stock checker says Limited or In Stock. In those two cases, make them open the cabinet and check. If it says OOS online, it probably is.

REPPED +4, OP! (Why so few reps for the OP and thumbs up for the thread? Quite a few here have posted getting this)

I + repped it, but since this is severely limited and available at so few stores, I'd guess many are irked.

I spent 15 minutes with friends trying to track one down in three states and no joy. The price is really good. The lack of availability though is a pain.

halcyon725 02-12-2013 02:00 PM

Haha, I went there earlier today and some guy with a shopping cart was racing me to the electronics section to purchase them all and probably sell them. Hope that wasn't you ;).

The only thing that has changed is the level of stupidity of the banks, giving these people credit they can't afford to pay, for them to ultimately default on it.

OOS in Anaheim Hills, I checked since it said limited availability online.

tiggerangel 02-12-2013 03:05 PM

Called one that said limited stock, & the rep said they don't sell 3rd gen iPads, I told her that was strange because it showed they had some in stock, then she said " yeaaaaah" ----that is so obvious that they have/ had them. All I said was I must of missed out to which she replied "yeaaaaah " ....seriously? Blurg.

I was there around 12:30 pm employee and manager both said they had a computer error and they dont have none. Showed 7 in stock but no where to be found. :mad: I guess its the slickdeals effect also a lot of people calling while I was there.

Yeah and if you think these are legit I have a bridge to sell you

needpricedeals2 02-12-2013 03:11 PM

its a great deal if you can get one. However It seems most stores have one of the following situations:

a) OUT OF STOCK
b) LIMITED STOCK
C) Inventory checker is incorrect
D) Store employees either got to them or there really out of stock.

The store I called had limited stock, they had none, however the rep said they might get more depending on shipments they receive.

However as the target inventory key states: limited stock means whatever they have instock is the last of that product. No extra deliveries to replenish OOS.

Good Deal for those who can snag one! however I got to give this thumbs down since its virtually IMPOSSIBLE to get.

To all those out of the box thinkers:

1) Apple retail doesnt carry the 3 anymore so no price match
2) radioshack, FRYS, Microcenter doesnt pm apple products
3) bestbuy. walmart, macmall OOS

ilbknownas1 02-12-2013 03:16 PM

#1 rule of SD. Do Not Call!

I wish SD would force people to register to view the posts and then ban people for like a week or something for calling.

A lot of these people that call think that they won't have a chance to get one by the time they can get to the store but what they fail to realize is that even if it's in stock, the employees will take them for themselves or have their friends come and pick them up so all they are doing is hurting their fellow SDers. STOP CALLING! It may seem like it increases your chances but it doesn't, it decreases it for you and for everyone else.

Very tempting deal... I don't have any iPad and was planning to buy one..Anyways, called 3 target store that claims "in stock" but all gone... oh well.. no big deal since new ipad is around the corner and i'm sure 3rd gen will be lower to 299.

That is ridiculous. The deal is practically dead. I made a call to a store that I wasn't about to spend an hour to drive to if they didn't have any, how else would I know? I m not ruining the deal for " fellow sd'rs" I m a fellow sd'rs who wants ONE deal. I deserve one too. Now my call to see if they had an iPad in stock isn't doing anything. Most people have already said that all the employees know because they r fellow sd'rs & know what is going on. Trust me there is no raising of a red flag here. I m on the 7 th page of a dead deal who called. Don't you DARE TELL ME how I should or should not buy a deal. I have and never will tipped off any employees & am VERY good about asking for a product AND UNLIKE "FELLOW SD'rs" I ONLY BUY ONE. So don' t you insinuate that I m ruining it for anyone ya big baby blaming anyone cause you can't find one BECAUSE THE DEAL IS DEAD!

Why do u assume people people r lazy & sitting around the house? It sounds to me like u r the one who is going to get up off the couch to see if u can get this deal, meanwhile other people r on their way to a second job or r running around taking care of their kids or policeman or paramedic or doctor or anything other than u being amazing enough to get up off the couch to have the time to run around to see if u can get one.

Seriously? Don't assume, it makes u look ignorant

IF a YMMV B&M deal doesn't make you fly off your chair and out to the store to see if you score from a store displaying a limited stock item, then you know what, It wasn't hot enough for you anyways... It's like noob city up in here with people calling the stores. As if the damn rule doesn't exist. On top of that you get them crying about driving around...

You still woulda ruined it, if it were in stock they woulda saw the price and been like nope, none left. What a waste of a paragraph.

Makes no sense. First off they wouldn't ring it up to look at the price when u call to ask if they have any of them. Secondly I would like the deal too, so what u r saying is that ( now might I add that I was on page 7 of a deal that had just been posted by someone as dead) if I had wasted my time to drive there and let's say they had one & when they rang me up they saw the price & then would put the rest in the back as opposed to me NOT getting one so that someone ELSE can!? Either way one person MIGHT get one & I have every right to want it to b me. I bet u don't give away your opportunity to someone else so they can get it rather than u.

PS... A guy just got one which is SHOCKING because I thought that the people who called totally ruined it

wangcho78 02-12-2013 04:44 PM

I called 3 times today ^_^. The drama in this thread is too comical. If the employee hordes the deal by a phone call then it's no different then first guy going on-site. The employee will do the same. Just getting heated over $100 discount is already stupid enough. Glad I called and did not get my butt out in the cold ass winter.

You seriously think a cashier is going to leave the register to do that?
If you call, they're going to see the price when they look at it, how else would they know they have it -.-

I would normally agree with u, but most of the posts at the end said no one had any and that quote " the deal is dead"

I would NEVER call on one that was just getting started or had a chance to raise any red flags. But again I figured I might try to see if ONE semi-local one had any left. And the deal was obvious to everyone especially employees by that point.

Listen I agree to an extent, but when the jig is up & everyone is posting to not waste their time then yeah you have free reign to call

And if I want to talk about people ruining deals I bet u r one of the ones who buy 12 of them so that no one has a chance

Why aren't you saying anything about that ruining a deal?

We might b saying the same thing because what I m saying is what is the difference between me calling, & them seeing the price, OR I go into the store & they see the price then?
The store said limited stock which as we both know meant they MIGHT have one, & I would have liked the last one.

Someone mentioned that it's updated at midnight but I don't think that's correct. This morning my store said "in stock." I got mine 2 hours later. I got home about 30 minutes later and checked if any other stores had it in stock, and my store said "limited stock." Then an hour later just for fun I looked and it said "out of stock." That seems pretty up to date with me.

I'm not sure. It said "in stock" before I left to my appointment. I was going to check again before I went to Target, but was right next to it, so decided to stop in to check.

On a side note, is anyone checking for the 32GB and 64GB models? I see a number of these still "in stock" at nearby stores. These look like they're $100 off as well.

fkhan11 02-12-2013 05:16 PM

I checked - one store has them by me. I called the store, they said they had none and the system hasn't been updated yet. I then called BB, gave them my zipcode, showed it was in stock nearby, and got them to price match! And used my reward certificates from all those dang surveys!

dragonday 02-12-2013 05:23 PM

No way you can still find 3rd there. When I arrived there at least 4 more SDers were looking for it.
No sure why online status still shows in stock.

BestDealer83 02-12-2013 06:04 PM

I dont know what it is but I thought people in SD are smart and are about saving money and getting the best bang for your buck, but this deal right here is definitely not the best bang for your back. Its not even an OK deal. Its just Apple - simply put its the hype controlling your mind.
The hype got people's brains controlled with the robotic hype that they created over the years and every one knows that.
$299 should have been the regular price of the iPad 3 at Apple's website - but where is the iPad 3 at Apple? Its not even listed in their website. Its iPad mini - iPad 2 and iPad 4 - skipped right through iPad 3...
Can you see why? It was plain to see that iPad 3 is basically the same as the iPad 4 minus some small differences - hence them removing it from their website and keeping the iPad 2 instead so people when they go head and shop for iPads will feel see the big difference between the iPad 2 and the iPad 4 since the differences are pretty notable.
Im no an Apple hater - I spell Apple's name and iPads the way it should be instead of lowering the P to p with a purpose of degrading it - not at all - I think they make nice looking products - but their prices are definitely not the best bang for your buck. This coming from a person owned and used iPod{touch models only} and iPhones who never paid full prices for them.
Thanks but no thanks - Im going to wait for the new Google Nexus Tablet for 7-8 inch tablet.

Just came back from Target. Rep told me that this deal is for iPad 3 and its discontinued one. thats why they are selling it out On Sale.

Basically Apple has iPad 2 and then iPad 4 in place( You can find them in Apple website). you cant find iPad 3 (iPad 3rd generation as in this post)

$299 should have been the regular price of the iPad 3 at Apple's website - but where is the iPad 3 at Apple? Its not even listed in their website. Its iPad mini - iPad 2 and iPad 4 - skipped right through iPad 3...
Can you see why? It was plain to see that iPad 3 is basically the same as the iPad 4 minus some small differences - hence them removing it from their website and keeping the iPad 2 instead so people when they go head and shop for iPads will feel see the big difference between the iPad 2 and the iPad 4 since the differences are pretty notable.
Im no an Apple hater - I spell Apple's name and iPads the way it should be instead of lowering the P to p with a purpose of degrading it - not at all - I think they make nice looking products - but their prices are definitely not the best bang for your buck. This coming from a person owned and used iPod{touch models only} and iPhones who never paid full prices for them.
Thanks but no thanks - Im going to wait for the new Google Nexus Tablet for 7-8 inch tablet.

Good luck with that. From firsthand experience, the nexus 7 build quality is crap, their customer support is awful, and the apps can't touch the variety and depth of the apple ecosystem. You're not just buying a tablet, you're buying into an ecosystem. At $100 more than a Nexus 7 16gb, this iPad3 is DEFINITELY a SD.

I agree with the current nexus 7 build quality - Im not too fond of Asus, I am typing this message on a 12.1 inch asus notebook/netbook - screen craps out sometimes - touch pad was bad since first day{got it fixed after sending it to Asus}, however google's customer service isnt that bad.
Asus wasnt mainly what held me back from buying the current Nexus 7 - but I wasnt too impressed that it was made by Asus. LG on the other hand which is going to be making the new Nexus 7.7 and with the specs that its going to have for its price is for my liking - and Im not sure why ur complaining about the Apps but this is not the BlackBerry Playbook app store that ur comparing to - this is Google.

I went over there on my lunch break (with hopes of buying them all) and they had none in stock. They didn't even have any markers for ipad 3's (only 2's minis and 4's) :shake:

Is there something wrong with this model? Seems odd that the 16gb Ipad 2 is $399, yet the 3rd generation is $299.

I hope the newer LG android (first I've heard of it) is improved, but we won't know until we know.

The Asus Nexus 7 is a marvel of cheap choices. The biggest sin is not even putting a less than 1 cent clip on the battery connector to hold it in place. Once it wiggles loose from motion/vibration, it will not charge again until you crack the tablet open and reset it. Completely stupid engineering.

Android app store still pales compared to what Apple has set up.

The main point I was making was that this iPad3 deal at $299 KILLS the Nexus 7 at $199. No comparison.

What i read last November on one of the Mac forums when i was debating between the Ipad 3 and the the newer model, was their where heating/overheating issues with the Ipad 3 and that the Ipad3 had been discontinued way back in Nov. Apple was only selling them on the website as refurb and was not selling them in their stores (but, that said for 299 and then use the 5% it is a good deal, if you need one and can find it)

With rapid-fire ipad releases, the channel's getting crowded, and more models are on the way. Comparing the iPad2 to the iPad4 looks better than 3 to 4, so they probably want to keep that around as their "entry level" ipad. It's probably cheaper to make, too.

no one cares about your opinion about apple.

slick deals is about getting the best prices on the items people want.

an ipad 3 BRAND new for $299, is a slick deal since it retails for $499. end of discussion.

I have an iPad 3 I got for 375. Its a nice tablet, of course its overprice becauses its apple though. I have had the same experience as you with Apple products, but I never worried about things like battery life, warranty, longevity, voice quality, signal strength, lack of apps or support (look at the 3GS still getting updates).

LG is known to use quality material on their hardware.
I agree with most things that u mentioned now - but I really dont think it kills the nexus 7 at $299, but I get what your saying - after being used to Apple's high prices as a customer - seeing an iPad 3 at $299 is like Black Friday, I get it.
Any way - its all good. Every one makes their own decisions.

just because Apple is charging $469 for a refurb 3rd gen doesn't mean that people are actually buying it. i agree that the $299 price tag is slick considering the retina display which rivals those of android devices around $400 but if you also notice, Apple devices no longer holds its value the same way 2 or 3 years ago. back then, you won't find any deals on Apple products but now, the 3rd gen is already selling for 40% of it's MSRP. if i can find one, i'd buy it because it's one of very few Apple devices that is worth more than its price tag.

I get your point, but Im not comparing $400 dollars android tablets to this iPad 3 at $299{after tax around $330}.
You can find a Quad Core 10inch tablet with an IPS display for $300 without tax and free shipping - or a refurbished one for $250 or less, and retina is a bit hyped, but Im sure people argue with that.

agreed because they have more models and variations of product in the market place, the prices obviously arent as high.

its economics 101.

still, anyway u cut it, a 3rd generation brand new ipad for $299 (or less), is a slick deal. If there is a deal better than that, for the same item, i challenge u to show me and i will stfu.

thats all im saying this is a damn good deal.

i hate apple products as much as anyone here but the resolution on this 3rd gen is worth at least $100 more especially if you're surfing a lot. nexus 10 is already a good deal for $399.

I dont care what anyone has to say about the APPLE VS ANDROID VS BB VS W8 VS any other ecosystem.

Its your money DO WHATEVER THE heck you want with it. Just make sure your get what you desire at the right monetary amount.

I prefer apple, since I already have other ios devices, the ecosystem is locked down for security, and product stability and updates are relatively better than the competition. The $299 price tag is what gives the added push to purchase since the best price I have seen this particular model has been around $375. Slickdeal indeed.

If anyone wants to start a flame ware or an ignorant discussion as to what I should do with MY MONEY (the one I work hard for), they`re gonna to need to wait till i give a hoot...

needpricedeals2 02-12-2013 07:26 PM

BTW whoever suggested banning people for using the calling means to figure out whether a deal exists or not, should also suggest banning people for using the internet, any search engine to see deal trends on various websites, and also people who download the SD app.

WTF, the purpose of SD is to be able to share your slickdeals with others. No on can stop that, since alot of buyers these days avail of SD and etc so...Fail on the ban idea. Just cause you cant get on all the deals doesnt mean you have to whine and suggest dumb ideas. At that point you have probably forgotten the initial purpose of SD.

I would not recommend updating your idevices. Most of the time, the updates slow down your idevices so bad that it is unusable. It from experiences. It is not a good thing to get updates from apple.

Good point. Speaking from the Iphone 3g experience. I tend to only update based on the Hardware and Software versions. My current motto for updates on apple, are

Update OS twice from the launch OS on that specific hardware.

So currently If you own an Iphone 4S ios 6.X should be the last update you want.

4s launched with 5.X and 6.X should be the last optimized version you want to go upto.

It is disappointing that the Smartphone/tablet OSes have yet to adopt the Windows Method (8 required less hardware oomph than 7).

We've got the Nexus 7 32GB ($205) and iPad 3 ($330). iPad 3 is IMO better than any Android 9-10" tablet on the market because of the optimized apps that fit the screen. We've had no issues with heat, or stutter with the iPad 3. The kids prefer the iPad b/c of the apps. I prefer the N7 b/c of the size and processing power. Every game on both tablets plays flawless. No issues with either. Battery power is awesome on both. Build quality is a bit thin on the N7, so get a good case and be careful with it. iPad 3 feels more substantial, but it's just too big of a device to hold - better on a table. If Apple ever decided to do an iPad Mini 2 with Retina at $249, they'd own the market. But it won't happen, which leaves the door wide open for Android.

This deal at $299 plus tax, less 5% Target Card is as good as it gets if you want a large tablet. Jump on this. There is no issue with heat or GPU/CPU.
