There was my passive way of saying what I felt about scalping for a TouchPad and then you come in...

Oh, there are plenty of people interested given who has posted in this thread. Unfortunately, you are also pricing your USED TouchPad (which you have TWO of) at a $150 hike too...



Again, not cool. :shakehead

Put it this way, if my supplier actually had any, I would've sold it to the members who really wanted one on here at the cost I paid with no mark-up.

And my wife does not earn a 12-digit salary.

I mean...sure, my stipulation was that no more bad-mouthing of Batman, Pagani, Aston Martin, robots, Chicago Blackhawks/Bears/Bulls and etc. But, still. No mark-up.

Okay, correction: You're selling NEW.

Still, I don't agree with your $150 mark-up. Even if it means it could signal the end to Miz's damn crying in this thread.

To be fair, if there's someone willing to meet his price then its a fair price. He can't just be nice to a few AZ people he doesn't really know.

Even if they go way back and gave him his AZ handle.

I would say $150 markup if it was just the TP. Its not.

Thats part of it too. Part of me wants to keep the thing and part of me wants to be nice. Problem is I have a lot of people asking for it and dont know how to fairly get rid of it... I seriously am thinking about selling it to Miz, but if I sell it at cost, I may be pissed that I dont have it. Its not about money. Hell, make me a moderator and Ill give it to Miz.

If I was able to get any for $99 plus the 5% tax. Yup. All the person would need to pay outside of that is shipping. Like I said: at cost.



It's not like it is a MIB Optimus Prime. I mean, that's like...yeah, gonna cost you.

why would you do that though. Get something that is hard to get and others want just to give it away for what you paid? And you are saying that because you dont like the thing. Again, if it was a MIB OP would you do the same?

On topic, my Bopo order finally got cancelled. Took them two weeks to figure out they didn't have any. And my bogus HP order is lost in the vista.
