How Greedy? How many HP Tablets Purchased?

5,938 1,328 August 21, 2011 at 10:37 PM in Tech & Electronics (2)
As you probably already know, there is a frenzy for the $99 and $149 HP Tablets. The thread in the Hot Deals is breaking records for number of posts and viewers.

Did you get one? How many (so far)? Doesn't matter how many are confirmed, just how many you ordered.

Are they for an Orphanage? laugh out loud

Save the eBay fees and sell them out of your dorm room to your mates. Even if you only make $50 each, it will net you a enough to cover your food for a few weeks. Also, by waiting a few weeks, you'll avoid the market flood. I might even hold on to them until November.

BTW: I didn't buy any to resell. But I have sold other things in the past and waiting can be helpful when the market is flooded.
thanks look around

the poll has to be trolled

57 people purchased more than 31?

The poll should be live after all the dust has settled and all the stock has been dispersed.

We all know there are tons of oversold touchpads right now.

I ordered two 16gb from B & No. They sent an email with order number and then 20 hours later sent another email saying OPPS! we don't know how to count and cancelled my order. Lousy inventory control, doesn't know how to add and subtract. Got me all excited for nothing. Frown maybe, I'll be lucky when the 2nd wave comes out later this week. I'll keep my fingers cross.

Thought I had a couple from Barnes and Noble -- they kept "selling" them for hours after I "bought" mine. But I got my cancellations today, even though they're still in the "Out Box" scheduled to be shipped tomorrow -- and the money is still pending at my bank. Earlier I thought I had one at Microcenter, but the site choked on the confirmation and when it came back up, they were gone. (Probably just as well as I see that those who thought they had bought TouchPads at Microcenter actually "hadn't" -- kind of like B&N.) I nearly had one at TheWiz, PCRichard, and OfficeDepot. And the Small Business side of HP's site kept teasing me with a "sale" that wouldn't pan out. So it's been pretty much a frustrating exercise in futility.

UPDATE: Supposedly I have two on order via Erwin Computer (followed the link here on SlickDeals shortly after writing the above). They were $130, but still a great deal -- IF they ship, that is. And, even though I received notice that my Barnes & Noble orders were cancelled via email, one is hanging on and still hasn't been officially cancelled. I even got an additional email (after the cancellation email) saying that my card would be charged when the TouchPad shipped. The ship date is tomorrow (8-24) so I'll see if the order actually survives until then.

Two. One for my co-worker and one for myself, if I receive it.

Two. Likely both will get cancelled. If I manage to get both I'll see if a family member wants to buy one for the price I paid for it. If not, it's going on Craigslist for a profit.

Put in 1 order each at hpsmb, hph, bn, and macmall. Got cancelled at hph and bn. Got tracking from macmall, and status changed from unable to process/pls call to approved/sent to order management at hpsmb. Only wanted one, so I'll have to flip the other. Both 32gb btw.

None, still trying for one... Just want it to mess around with it. Hopefully a friend can find one today or I am just out of luck.
