Honestly, PlatinumGuy... wtf are you doing? Your signature says you have HP 16gb Tablets for sale for 160 shipped, and then you have the nerves to come on the forum and request someone to sell you two 16gb's for 250? WTF?!? Your trying to make a quick dollar on a friendly forum, and this seems like a sleezy thing to do.

Sell them on eBay not back to the members of the forums! WTF!

Sorry. The difference is that I have 20 to sell, and they might last beyond B&N etc. availability. $160 for a tablet is still an awesome deal, especially if someone will manage to put Android on it - the cheapest android's dell for $400.

I wanted to buy 2 because I sold them on Amazon and a guy from Hawaii bought 2, and B&N doesn't ship to HI. I thouhgt it might bw worth it for someone to get rid of them quickly, or someone who changed their mind after buying.

no taking advantage intended.

My eBay acct is maxed out. So if they sell for >$200 on ebay, I want to sell to someone who can sell on eBay. If someone buys for $160, he'd make a decent profit selling on ebay.

Well if a human being sold me 20 of them, that means they almost certainly aren't cancelling orders. No?

what does this fire sale mean?
will all tablet companies be following?

No. It cost HP over $300 to make. So no one else will follow selling at such losses.

They are getting rid of them because they decided to discontinue the product.

Where are you getting you information?
You think it costs HP $300.00 to make?

If you have proof please post...

I should've quoted sources in the original post

As they say, google before you tweet, the new think before you speak.

So, wanna buy one?

Anyone think I'll be able to sell this on eBay for a profit? I didn't think there would be so many available when i bought it.
Good think I got it on my starwoods thanks dan
