Here's the thing...at least for this product...

HP has said, at least to my understanding, that more TouchPads are coming. And despite my meh-ing of the product, it has nothing to do with my promise to sell one at the cost I paid: The TouchPad is not a collectible. It never was and it never is.

It stumbled into this weird Apple-is-Gawd-vortex because HP decided to lower the price to a ridiculous amount.


A mint Optimus Prime is although a joke on my part in that post, is different. That is a vintage collectible. And sure, if this was 30 years later, and there was suddenly a "tablet" collecting hobby and following, you can go and mark up the TouchPad.

There is a bit of supply and demand. I hardly think my asking for gouging considering the product is worth more then that. Its not a collectible, but its a useful device and worth more then the $100 its sold for.

Let's just agree to disagree, W.



And let's see if Miz will finally get his wish for one. If he does not make you an offer, I'm banhammering his virgin @$$ to orbit.

16Gb?

To be honest if it is 16Gb he'd have to sell it to me a tiny bit less then $300 cause if I buy one off eBay. Including the touchstone and case, it'll total to just under Or at $300

case 30, touchstone 60, touchcrap 110 - all unboxed, peeked at and devirginized

shipping / tax + 30

total 230 + $50 for a full tank of gas = $280... fair deal.

Welcome to the thread

I'm NOT the one selling, I can only sell you a nice picture of someone else HP touchpad

P.S. I have a 25 gallon tank, $50 would compensate half of it, lol.

Thats what health insurance is for.
