I reserved it the night of he amazon price drop I think
Right up until they are the cheapest for your order again as they normally are. I missed out too and if they list them I will be pretty annoyed. I won't though cut my nose off to spite my face.
It's a tablet no one was interested in until it was almost given away, now everyone is crying about not getting one. An item you wasn't interested in in the first place.
Say well done to those that got one and move on, you haven't actually lost any money. The amount of time some have spent trying to source one of these is almost laughable. Time better spent doing some overtime to buy one at retail price, which you should have done if not getting one hurts that badly
dodgy link i put my trust in you..
don't let me down
+1
I see that money is still stopped on my CC from cancelled order from Staples
And money is blocked for 'dodgy link' and Pre3 that was cancelled as well...
There are several Touchstone's in my local PCW for £35.00
I just need to get my hands on a Touchpad!Looks like someone's been naughty... fleabay number 110734525101
Think I'm pretty much resigned to not getting a touchpad
To be fair after his ebay fee's and paypal he's not selling for that huge a markup. Fairly realistic and if anyone wants one enough that still represents decent value for money.
I'm sure if HP had cut the price to £180ish this forum would have still snapped them up.
I will give it as a month and then get one off ebay for around £130ish.

You are looking at £77 profit according to the calculator.
Fees of £26.27
So 70 pads is £1839.90 profit.
That is pretty funny.

I can't imagine how you managed to get to 20000 posts, on my regular site such talk towards another member wouldn't be tolerated.
Eh ? He's pretty much spot on at the end of the day.
Thats a decent profit for very little but they probably have to put up with working at a dixons or carphone warehouse. They deserve one perk in a lifetime of hurt
I'm sure 99.9% of us would have done the same given the opportunity. Our own MM is testamant to that
If I'd walked into staples and 100 where available on tuesday, I'd have bought the lot and told my mrs to start looking for what would be a free holiday
Yeah a completely non personal attack without the personal or attack. I hope he or she never bumps into fox on the forums. The police will be called.
