    Is this likely my best deal on 1000HE?

    I have decided to buy the EEE 1000HE. Right now at ZipZoomfly, they have it for $349 after $30 mail in rebate. They also have $20 off on 2G RAM. (It was $10 off yesterday.) I need to buy it within 3 weeks. Is this the best deal I am likely to find, or would it be best to wait a couple of weeks to see if there are any other sales? (The RAM deal is only good through April 6 at ZipZoomfly, and it seems to keep changing, so I would hate to lose that.)

    Thanks for any opinions! :D

    yeah, looks like the best 'stable' deal i've seen so far.

    ebay has it for $388, and with live discount at 11% right now, the price is $345.99.
    live discount was 13% yesterday, which made the price $337.56
    the percentage might go up or down, thats the unstable part.

    since zipzoomfly rebate deal ends at 4/30, i would wait as long as possible and see if live discount percentage goes up more.. thats just me. i like waiting....

    How do you get to ebay through live.com? I have read the suggestions to search for netbook or something and then click on the ebay link, but when I do that, no ebay link comes up. I have tried several different things, but I never see any link to ebay.

    thanks!

    Thanks! I don't know why it didn't work for me--must have searched for the wrong things.

    Thanks so much, pkim1230. I discovered that I can go through live.com to ebay, then find zzfshopper (ZipZoomfly) to purchase the 1000HE. Although it is listed at $395, I can use both the live.com cashback AND the mail in rebate, bringing the final price down to $322! (no extra RAM, but that can be picked up cheaply later, if I need it) Sounds like a good deal to me!
