      sadly, a lot of their local people are buying them in crates to prey on international buyers at ebay

    • camelgrass on 01/09/2011 - 19:34

  • jtb on 22/08/2011 - 00:57

    Hopefully there will be an influx of these on Ebay so the prices are pushed to near what they were sold for… Would love to get one of these for PDF magazines :)

    Comment re using Australian credit-card to purchase in the US:-

    [Caveat: Rather than being authoritative info, this is more 'informed speculation' based on my positive experience of successful transactions - via Commbank issued Mastercards. I'm keen to hear opinions of others in this regard to confirm or dispute veracity.]

    In the US it seems that banks use a credit card user's "billing address" as a key security check to assist in verifying that the person processing the transaction is the credit-card's authorised user.

    Australian banks don't use this same verification system.

    It seems to me therefore that in the process of an online system requesting the card-issuer to authorise a transaction, when they electronically ask for confirmation of the data in the billing address fields, Australian banks will always respond to these particular fields with a positive confirmation - regardless of the details entered. Rather the Australian banking system users others fields for verification.

    So, in the incidences above, where users have had issues in continuing with purchase processes because their Australian billing address has been rejected, I suspect you could enter any US billing address and it would still get a positive confirmation/authorisation from the card issuer in Australia.

    This has been my experience on a number of occasions. However I have had the advantage of being able to use the home address of a family member in the US. This has minimised risk to me of any delivery problems. (I've never had a delivery problem but just speculate that one could arise if someone queried why delivery address was different to billing address.)

    This logic has also enabled me to verify a US address for eBay/PayPal for use in purchases where purchaser will not send to an unverified account/address.

    I'd be much more cautious about using this approach if I didn't have a friend of family member in the US whose address I could use for verification.

  • samehada on 22/08/2011 - 04:08

    I think we should wait for the sales from HN :) I hope they have similar sale soon. This is gonna be crazy sales, I've got core i7 from HN + Amex $50 rebate so this should be my next best buy :)

        EDIT: Seller onSale has the 32gig version again for 149.99. They probably will sell out quickly so you need to be really quick. If it is listed at $495 then check the right hand side of the page and look for seller onSale in the the More Buying Choices section. Good luck I really hope you guys manage to get one!

    SO whay buy something that will have NO more APPS developed for it
    Sorry but ID pass anyway

    • TEER3X on 22/08/2011 - 09:31

      They haven't ended development of webOS. No body knows what's going to happen with it, especially now that there's an additional instant 100,000 consumers (or more)…. They've stopped only on the hardware side of things… As everyone else has said, it will only be a matter of (short) time before hackers get Android onto it, if that's what you're after.

    Hey if we buy on Amazon and ship to comgateway, what should be the name of the buyer? My name or Comgateway?

    • lamerthanlam on 22/08/2011 - 09:53
      +1

      I should think that you put your name there. That was what I did (hopshopgo though). Also, it would make more sense to put your own name seeing that it allows comgateway to know that the order was for you.

  • romants on 22/08/2011 - 09:38

      You have to use a shipping service that ships it from US to AUS. Examples include vpost australia, comgateway,hopshopgo.

    Just bought the 16G and 32G version ready for Christmas time gift.
    I bought these in hope that the xda group can come up with a Honeycomb port for this touchpad.

    Have been looking at various solutions to buy this touchpad. Fortunate enough to have a USA relative address.

    Received my EEPad Transformer this morning from Amazon. Very nice machine with Honeycomb 3.1.

  • blackrider89 on 22/08/2011 - 10:14

    Done with ComGateway. If anyone knows any vendors that have better shipping rates and services plz share. For me it's ok with ComGateway (used to get perfume via them).

    • anthony on 22/08/2011 - 10:23
      +2

      ComGateway service is bad i think, they take a long time to tell you when they recieve your package and then also to send out your item.

      Shipito are much better and offer DHL, FedEX, USPS and their own service so you have much more of a choice for the shipping price.

      There is also MyUS if you have an American Express, i have not used them yet so do not know what theur service is like however so far with the welcome email they sent it seems good.

      CEO should be fire and force to take a lesser pay check. What on earth is he thinking. All he need to do is to drop the price down and this will stimulates developement as there are so many users taking up the offer. This will save HP face and reputation.

        • blackrider89 on 22/08/2011 - 10:51

          You know what, the English borrowed the word "black market" from the French long long long time ago (marche noir if my memory serves); it would happen in this situation (as always when supply doesn't meet demand). Indeed. And arbitragers FTW.

      • Black Hole on 22/08/2011 - 12:58

        HP should refund a portion to HN so that they could have another fire sale as there is no point in taking these back to America. I expect another fire sale is on the card here in Australia.

  • shawn_low on 22/08/2011 - 12:58

    Waiting and hoping the dust will settle on these. There will be loads of flippers on ebay in the coming week.

    Don't mind paying a small markup on ebay. Say extra $50 on top of fire sale prices, but prices still high there at the moment…

    • dy4me on 22/08/2011 - 13:08

      it will be closer to $200.remember that its $99 +$40 shipping to aus. so a markup of $50 is closer to 200

    • anthony on 22/08/2011 - 13:24

      Say extra $50 on top of fire sale prices, but prices still high there at the moment…

      That is impossible, the shipping from USA to Australia will cost $50 or more.

      16GB will cost $150 to get to Australia and the 32GB will cost $200

      If people here in Australia have got them to sell on ebay you need to include the ebay fees, paypal fees and Australian postage fee.

      Selling the 16GB on ebay for $200 + $10 postage allows the seller to make $35
      Selling the 35GB on ebay for $250 + $10 postage allows the seller to make $32

      So you will be paying $100 more than the selling price in America.

    News is about to get out, HP wont be taking the Aus stock back. They have just made an arrangment with HN's to clear out the Touchpad stock.

    Harvey's will be selling these at ** $149 ** from TOMORROW! Not sure whether they will spend money on advertising or not considering its a clearout. CALL UP NOW and preorder it / get one on hold. They won't last long gauging how they have been selling out in the US!

    You heard it from me first!

    • jtb on 22/08/2011 - 13:20

      Called HN Moorepark and they said HP were taking them back… the sales guy seemed quite annoyed as well… :|
