    Why am I finding that the DV6 in my sig, without the hybrid HD, which I bought on Ebay before Christimas of last year is now almost $100 more in the same refurb/used condition? I thought that puters and electronics get cheaper as newer and better units are brought to market?
    What is going on with HP laptops..... are they appreciating in value with time? jk, I think?

    eBay is really good. I personally think I got lucky with my refurb - i5, 6770m, 1080p matte for 660 :D

    I'm in the market for an DV6 as well. Waiting until Memorial day for sales, or is there no reason to wait?

    all the laptops being re-sold are /working/ HP computers. Its a rare thing, so they have to be sold for more.
