The Worst Nightmare, they just wont go away. At least thats what Apple and Samsung Execs must be thinking.

The HP has found a limited batch of refurbished 16GB and 32GB models that'll be on sale for $US99 and $US149, respectively.

The sale starts at 7PM New York time on Sunday evening via HP's eBay store. (My Estimate this is 11 am Monday AEDT Dec 12th)

And you will need to have worked out how to have some on-ship service as its unlikely they will do non US shipping.

The limit is two TouchPads per eBay account, there's a 90-day limited warranty.

It was supposed to be unannounced so HP employees could get first dibs at this limited supply.

HP may make changes the on-sale date so the whole stock isn't bought out by non staff members.

Any idea about the shipping and the process of getting the ebay item to the store?
Do we need to register first with the forwarder?

  I've used shipito twice before. You sign up and deposit $8 into your account or some amount and then they tell you the address you need to use for it to get sent to them. Really quick turn around (maybe not now though because of christmas). You get a photo taken of the package and the choice of about 7 different postage methods.

setup shipito and got US address ready,
but no joy as my default address on eBay is Australia so it did not allow me to order.
