yeah I was wondering why the $249. Didn't seem to come with a case or anything to justify the price. I guess since its hard to get they increased the price. Maybe a better build, no more cracking ?

Ah man sorry, I was actually surprised how long it was live.

**ran495** · 10/03/2011, 06:05 AM

yeah it was pretty long... more than 30 mins

**ran495** · 10/03/2011, 06:07 AM

and fyi guys, the 16gb is on the site too for 219.99 dollars, but still says out of stock...

**Mutoidi** · 10/03/2011, 06:30 AM

From what I've seen of the way HP 'price' things, they start off excessively high and end up extremely low.. viz. the TP itself and the recent 'Splashtop' App fiasco.. $19.99-->$9.99-->$4.99-->$0.00 (on Promo).. Huh?

Maybe they've finally caught on.. introduce an item cheaply, let it 'catch on'.. and THEN crank the price UP?

Perhaps wait until end Oct anyway when HP may find they have another 1-200,000 units to 'get rid of' and are also then up against some cheap Amazon units too?

Seems like HP put TP fpr sale.. at least for few minutes at $249 ?!?! Don't know about you but for CA it totals to $295 after S&H +Tax.. on the other hand on Amazon is $266 (no tax + S&H), not to mention Craigslist and EBay..(lowest I've seen on CL so far is $235)

And just few toughs:
Asus TF showed at Target for $299 a week ago, at Newegg for $250($399 with dock keyboard bundle) few days ago... Amazon Fire is preselling for $199... I am not hardcore HP fan, and actually I seem to start dislike them more and more... I am just trying to see reasonable logic... And my logic tells me:
NO HP - I AM NOT GOING TO BUY ANYTHING FROM YOU, EVER AGAIN!!!

What do you think? Is $300 justified for you? Please reasonable opinions, I know hardcore HP fans will buy it even at $1000000 xD

**c000** · 10/03/2011, 07:24 AM

this is news... how?

**Mutoidi** · 10/03/2011, 07:25 AM

Going, going .. gone!
Whatever turns you on!

Don't how, but its gone xD I'd gladly pay 149.. ~180 with tax and ship..., but no luck in August system threw me out and i was never able to log back in. Now at that price -no way. I think I'll get Asus TF, the newegg deal is still on, or may be I'll wait Thanksgiving

. We have one TP at home already(that's how I am on this forum ), scoring one for myself was too much of a hope xD It's just not feasible for me to waste so much money on a discontinued hardware and OS with unclear future...

But obviously either HP took it down quickly - was on not more then 30 min, or they sold out.. raising the question how many insane people are there out there?! Because I don't believe that anybody in his right mind will pay that price, if he can get it on Amazon/Ebay/CL etc. cheaper...

Honestly they have to fire their CEO... and yes - I mean the new CEO

If your secondary market sells cheaper than you, that should ring a bell about your product... no need to econ grad to see that

PS. Forgot to mention - screenshot is taken at about 3am pacific time (CA) 10/3/11

**robotech1985** · 10/03/2011, 09:23 AM

I think it was a mistake... I doupt anyone was able to order them... they were prob just gettign them back on the site etc.

**Cackhanded** · 10/03/2011, 09:46 AM

Did anyone order one?

I missed this and also wondered as well if this might drive ebay prices up. IIRC before the discounting & eventually "firesale" started HP was selling the touchpads for $500/600 respectively. Just because the pricing bottomed out at $100/150 doesn't necessarily mean that will be the price when more become available. In fact HP could probably lessen the overwhelming impact to their web site and resulting complaints by raising the price a bit, still sell out and make more money. I mean if there are going to be complaints either way as I'm sure there would be, why not? At any rate it looks like HP sold a bunch a the higher-than-firesale pricing so at this point I'd be surprised to see the firesale pricing again. But HP has been full of surprises lately so who knows?

**BB Musketeers** · 10/03/2011, 09:53 AM

It really burns me up that HP would be selling any tablets at this point, when they haven't fulfilled their backordered obligations yet. There are thousands of us waiting for our orders to be filled, and here they are selling new ones. That is just wrong!

**texasflood** · 10/03/2011, 10:00 AM

That's a valid point. New CEO is making a fresh start, having none of it, flipping folks off,

**jdale** · 10/03/2011, 10:15 AM

These would have been really good prices for the firesale. I would have bought. The timing now is bad IMHO, primarily due to the Kindle Fire.
