Heh. I stole that from someone's email a while back. Now that you mention it, it probably was BSD. Makes the quote more "rhyming", doesn't it?

$135 on ebay (plus $14 shipping) was what I paid. I just ordered it 12/12 so I still don't have it yet. I had a plan for getting the n800. I played games on a website and earned points (http://club.live.com) and spent those points in March to get Windows Vista. I was going to sell it on ebay and use the money to get an n800. I even asked someone on this forum to hold the n800 he was selling so I could get the Vista and pay hime then. Over 7 months went by and I didn't get it. I emailed them, they didn't respond. I emailed them again they said they would look into it. Finally in early November I got an email saying it shipped and I got it 2 days later. I put it up for auction and it sold for $115 on 12/5. At that time I found a deal (also run by live.com) that gave you 30% off on ebay and with that I could get an n800 for $105 shipped. Of course by the time I got paid for the Vista that item was sold and the 30% off was over. But oh well, $135 is still a good price. I was planning on getting the internet tablet by summer and now I'll barely get it by Christmas.

@blowfish23: So effectively, Microsoft bought you an N800? That is a pretty great scheme. :D

Yep. If the cashback deal from live was still available at 35%, it would have gone like this: Sold Vista I got free from Microsoft for $115, Buy n800 for $149, get $52 cashback from Microsoft, and have $18 to spare.

Almost two years ago I bought a used N800 for $175 from a local seller on craigslist. It was only three weeks old with original sales receipt, box and all extras. I've used it everyday since. :)

Don't remember the exact price, but it was less than $150 at CompUSA's going out of business sale. They had it in with the cellphones at 65% off, and the cell prices weren't inflated first (what were they thinking with the motherboard prices?). I had to travel to a number of stores to find one that was NIB though. Most were demonstrators with dirt and dust all over them.
