For what this may be worth, given the amount of specials on tablets at present. I am posting this believing it is not a duplicate of an earlier post.

Even at $250 "huntress_love" said "that's not too bad!". Geeeeeez ozbargainers :D
its $130 more than GG previous deal. not a bargain here. sorry OP
GG deal is sold out. Can you find the same item cheaper then what is offerred by Shopping Express that is in stock?
Last time I went to Harveny Norman Chadstone, they had it for $380. If you are good at haggling I'm pretty sure you will be able to get it for $350 :)
I would rather go for Toshiba Trive for 399 in their website but it is just 16GB tho

I have never been a big fan of Acer but their Iconia tablets are rock solid. Very happy with my A501 after moving from a GT-P1000. Don't knock the Acer tablets till you actually try one out.
The xoom is rock solid also and cheaper for 32gb wifi model.
John - you've been here for over a year. You should know what a valid negative vote is. Your comment is fine and informative, but just dont use an expired deal to Vote down a deal.
When voting on bargains these are to be based on what is available now.
is that mean i've to revoke?
Now you have made another comment which is more in line with a valid negative vote. Answer is No.
Please keep in mind we dont have time to constantly request members to make sure their vote complies. We can and do just remove them.
Please check the correct way to vote, that way it helps the community with consistency etc
Agreed.
The new ASUS Transforma (with quad-core + one more CPU) has just been announced. I'd wait for that puppy.
This "deal" is through enod of year, so you KNOW they don't expect to move the A500's very quickly.
Maybe they're trying to get some sale from OBer's who missed out on the recent Transformer deal
(even if you got into that deal, its vendor told you that their stock was apparently damaged…)But they'd have to drop to $300 to win my heart on an A500 32GB with no 3G connectivity.
PS I'm ALSO wanting something with more RAM (or, at least, easy, user-can-do-it RAM upgradability),
and that doesn't seem to have arrived in AU, as yet…)HAVING SAID ALL OF THE ABOVE… to save a few pennies more, maybe try to get OfficeWorks' online folks
to match this vendor's price (or is OW's A500 32GB the model with 3G…?)Hey IVI, do you know (or any idea) of how much is it going to be when it goes on for sale here in Aus. I'm after the 64GB with the dock.
We are awaiting stock to arrive on our store for the 64Gb Prime
how much will you charge then? i am interested in 32gb. also the dock?
Prime 32GB will not hit Australia this christmas. Only 64GB is coming, and I suggest people interested to subscribe to our newsletter or check our facebook for latest news on this. We only have limited stock coming in & stock may arrive before christmas.
Agree, this is not a bargain price for this device.
Edit:
While this may be the lowest current price is it not a bargain price.
The A500 is getting old and similar tablets like the xoom are also dropping in price.
I would not recommend buying at this price as I expect the A500 prices to drop.duplicate or not, is not what i concern. the price is ridiculously high, considering, as many mentioned above already, transformer prime has ALREADY been in the market starting from merely $500 (not cheap by itself at all, but compared to $429 dated iconia, it is relatively cheap)
no deal. actually it is a terrible deal.A & A
Mods just watch votes to see they comply with the rules.
When they dont and we remove, some people take it either personally or think we support the deal.The rules are here
http://www.ozbargain.com.au/wiki/help:voting_guidelines
If your comment is valid the vote stays.
Is your vote still there? Guess its valid ;)
i didnt take it personally nor think you supported the deal. i just replied to the op who believed it was not a duplicate deal.
what i mean to say is I, personally, dont mind whether it is a dup or not as long as it is a genuine bargain. unfortunately it is not, it is crap…
Correct - I should have put "some" people, otherwise as you pointed out it implies you may have taken it personally. Apologies.
Although I guess it doesnt really apply as your vote wasn't revoked
Have edited my post to reflect correct situation - this is here so others understand your valid comment.
Last night I order this for $359 posted from same site during the epic hour. When I checked out, it showed me the quantity I ordered not available, I only ordered one. So out of stock, now they want to sell it $80 more so they magically have stock again. Definitely a neg for this.
Hi Couger,
I believe you have misunderstand what is going on, we limit the purchase of the product to 1 per customer, that is why you can only buy 1. Why? To give more people the chance to enjoy the bargain.
Couger only bought one. But your website told him it was out of stock last night.
It will in no way we ONLY SELL 1 qty, that is not what our epic hour is all about. It is an exciting event where we try to give as much as we can to people, not just putting 1 stock and say epic hour. May i also ask what time you buy the product couger?
We keep stocks for our Epic hour and limit customer to 1. Our past epic sale are examples.I put it in cart around 8:50 then go to the reg and payPal stuff
Then at last when I confirm the order show me my quantity not available
So your order did not go through? That is weird, but I am willing to believe your story and give you the deal $349. If you can provide your username, i will arrange a coupon code just for you to apply at checkout
also on a side note, all iconia bought & paid yesterday has already been dispatched today.
ifonlyiwasyounger,
Thanks for the effort in trying to post a tablet deal. We had an epic sale for this product yesterday and it was going for lower price-$349, so this was indeed not the best we offered. We are however thinking of doing a special on the acer iconia 3G models for ozbargainers, which will be decided shortly
great! im looking forward with your deal. would be great if you can match GG price. and thanks for your fast response
if they can match gg price, which i dont believe it will happen, i will definitely buy one, even though i am waiting for the prime too.
i had an opportunity to buy a quality tablet at $250, i passed it. from the moment i realised i made a mistake, i confess every night ^-^
Acer Iconia 32GB 3G version for $499 after coupon code. OP might want to change subject and the details if ozbargainers want this deal. If this vote goes to +10, i will create the coupon code to bring the price now.

@ShoppingExpress — people vote because of the deal. Don't use something people have no idea about (i.e. potential discount you'll going to give out) as incentive to lure people to vote. It is against the posting rule here.
You've been warned.
Hi Scotty,
thanks for the advice, what i am meaning on the vote is to vote my comments, not the deal, perhaps it sounds misleading, i am only interested in finding out if anyone is actually interested or just a few people. However, that is also not allowed?
any deals on the transformer with the dock ?
if you subscribe to newsletter today, you will know by tomorrow, there are a few BIG deals coming up.
oh what a bargain
I am amazed at how an innocent and well-meaning post can create so much controversy! From now on I think I will keep my head well below the forum parapet and leave it to those better-informed and more-experienced alpha-male members to keep everyone informed.
Hi mate,
You have done well by trying to offer something. I did what i could to assist your link, but i guessed today is not the day :). I will advised you to subscribe to our newsletter to receive our special deals (especially our epic hour product). This will let you snag some bargains that may be left out by the experts (for whatsoever reasons :P)
@ifonlyiwasyounger
Dont take things too personally, you shared, that's what its really all about.
Not every deal will get to the top, and its kept many of our members entertained for the afternoon.
Some of our top deals were by first time posters. And hey you also get the benefit of some deal making wisdom.
dont worry ifonlyiwasyounger
some people think its a bargain and some people dont
doesnt mean that your post is anything badjust keep posting if you think its a bargain
and one day everyone will think the samekeep trying, dont give up!! :D
I don't think this is much of a bargain ifonlyiwasyounger. If I am not mistaken A500 16GB once went on for sale for $250 and 32GB for $300 something. Wish I could find the ozbargain link.
