HP now says OUT OF STOCK in red. Did they restock it overnight and sell out again?

That was removed early yesterday when they changed to the "out of stock" non-button.

I have heard that BB has been selling them off this morning. If you were lucky enough to wake up early and wait in line you could have gotten some.

I dont know when HP is gonna update their site but when it does it will crash. haha. When it first went on sale last Friday the site was mobbed and sold out real fast. I do not remember exactly what time the price changed but I think it was close to midnight.

all the stores near me sold out within 10mins of the announcement going live...no doubt we will see them on deals websites for triple the price within the next week

It began on day one with the $99 16GB Touchpad going for upwards of $230 on eBay.

As well as the usual scam posts that list the item for $10 Buy it now but are actually just selling information on where to get it.

Gotta love the frenzy caused by a great deal.

Sam's Club had some 32GB models via their website. I had one in the cart, but since I'm not a member, didn't feel like paying the 10% premium. Sold out in under 5 minutes.

Lots of very rabid bargain hunters there checking out all the possible sites, so you will probably hear on that site first.

I talked to the worker bees at a BestBuy on Saturday, and they said they had packed up all their stock to send back to HP for credit, so likely HP will be getting a bunch back in. You likely have to keep watching pretty closely to get in on deals ASAP when they are available.

Good luck!

The whole point of HP slashing price to $100 so retails can sell off all units so HP doesnt have to take back any shipments. I believe HP will most likely reimburse BB who paid like $350 for each touchpad most likely

I suppose that HP has to hold back some inventory for inevitable warranty replacements down the road.

Anyone with any update on where to get these for HP's close out price?

Check Ebay in about 2 weeks. My guess is the price will settle at about $150 - $175.
