HP verkauft seinen HP Touchpad über den eigenen eBay-Shop für 99 US Dollar

An alle die ein günstiges und gutes Tablet suchen: aufgepasst. HP haut am 11. Dezember eine Marge des berühmten Touchpads raus und zwar die 16 GB Variante für 99 US Dollar und die 32 GB Version für 149 US Dollar. Ein Zubehörpaket gibt es auch und zwar für 79 US Dollar. Das ganze wird über den eigenen eBay Store verhökert.

Einen Haken hat die ganze Sache zwar, aber die sollte nicht wirklich hinderlich sein. Das ganze wird im amerikanischen eBay-Shop von HP verkauft – doch mit Zoll und Versand ist das Touchpad immer noch im Preis Leistungsverhältnis die beste Alternative zum iPad 2 auf dem Markt.

Die ganze Aktion startet am 11. Dezember um 18:00 Central Time. Wir wünschen also viel Spaß beim klicken und hoffen der Store wird nicht wieder überlastet sein.

Die Information zum Angebot stammt übrigens von TechCrunch, wo ein Schreiben veröffentlicht wurde, welches an die HP Mitarbeiter gerichtet wurde.

Hier noch einmal eine Kopie:

To: U.S. HP Employees

HP employees will have a chance to purchase a refurbished HP TouchPad via eBay before the sale is announced to the general public. Specifically, the TouchPads will be offered through one of HP’s newest marketplaces for close-out and refurbished HP products, the new HP eBay Store.

This product will NOT be available through any other HP stores, such as the Home & Home Office store, Small & Medium Business store, HP EPP or the HP Business Outlet. PLEASE DO NOT CALL ANY OF THESE CALL CENTERS BECAUSE IT DISRUPTS REGULAR SALES ACTIVITIES AND THEY’RE UNABLE TO PROCESS AN ORDER FOR THE TOUCHPADS ANYWAY.

In an effort to give HP employees first chance at a very limited supply of refurbished TouchPads, there will be a short delay between when the product is posted live for sale on eBay and when the general public is notified of the sale.

Refurbished HP TouchPads, both 16GB and 32GB versions, will be posted for sale through the HP eBay store at: 6:00 p.m. (Central Time), Sunday, December 11th. If you are interested in purchasing a refurbished TouchPad, please make yourself a reminder to log-on to eBay a few minutes before the sale starts to make your purchase.

The TouchPads will be available for sale here (under “Laptops”):
