I got one at the downtown Minneapolis store. They have several, and several on hold that they will be released tomorrow if not picked up today.

Actually there looks to possibly be one near me, but I don't want it so maybe someone else can grab it.

Just went to Target @ Morril Ave, San Jose CA shows, website was showing it as In-stock, but its 'System Error'.
Save some time people. |
This is gonna be hard to replicate.

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

oh well. |
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 |
Picked up the last one at university target in Tampa.
|
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

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) |
Showing limited stock in Tempe and South Mountain in ARIZONA but OOS in store when visited
|
Quote:
Yes they had it in store and they matched price |
Quote:
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. |
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 ;).

anyone have any luck with Radio Shack... just called them and they say Printed Ad only, but wondering if they can be "convinced"...

Like everyone else above me already said... OOS =(((
|
I'm hoping frys has it available, pricematch would help the most.
|
OOS in Anaheim Hills, I checked since it said limited availability online.
|
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.

Don't need one but there is stock near me..

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. |
Quote:

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 |
None around OKC, someone nabbed all the walmarts too(with price match) ffs.

I checked that all of 3rd generation iPads are on sale and discounted by $100. 16GB is discounted more ($50 more) than others though.

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. |
wow. HOT price.
bought mine for $350 used. WELL worth it |
Fry's, Target.. etc TOO GOOO TO Tru deals are to find howmany fools are still around :)

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.

No actually I m happy because it is amusing that that is the only comment u could come up with. No one said I wasn't correct to begin with, I just made sure that people who wine about the fact that any one who calls on a practically a dead deal is ruining it for everyone. No one has it, that was established a long time ago. |

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...

Calling has killed this deal and numerous other deals but you seem quite ignorant. They did have them until you retards called them, understand? 99.9% of ppl do not use Slickdeals and of those who work at Target probably have did not look at the forums today since hey.. they are working ;) YOU ARE RUINING DEALS BY CALLING, STOP CALLING |
I just called my local target and they said they have a couple left, andthey would reserve one for me. 2ez pz lemon squeezy

how accurate is the inventory checker?

they are holding it for themself, i just went to the one that said limited stock, and they said sold out,i had call to the store and had ask people who work there, they dont even need to check , they just answer you all sold out, u believe that? now i back tom and double check it still limited stock
|
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.
|
Quote:
If you call, they're going to see the price when they look at it, how else would they know they have it -.- |
Quote:
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? |
Quote:
The store said limited stock which as we both know meant they MIGHT have one, & I would have liked the last one. |

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. |
went to walmart to try to get a price match but they dont even carry ipad 3 anymore
|
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!

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. Quote:

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) |

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

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. |

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. |
Quote:
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... |
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. |

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). |

there was no complaining in my post. just stating a fact. thank you very much |
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. |
