    Just called tiger direct and the rep said he didn't think they would be getting anymore in and that they are 27 overbooked already. (Everyone bought so fast the system couldn't close it off in time.)

    What's everyone else heard?

    (And to think, I almost bought one on egay for 960 last night)

    I've called twice(once yesterday and once on Monday) and they told me that they'd have additional shipment on May 4th. You might want to call about that. I'm hoping they'll start selling them again, so I can get one for myself.

    I'll try calling again later tonight and see if I can get a different person.

    I'd feel silly talking to the same guy twice.

    On a side note I actually did use the buy it now feature last night from an ebay seller. I received a message from him saying he does not have the laptops and not to bother paying. Should I just let it go?

    I honestly think I did talk to the same guy twice haha.

    Unless the Ebay notebook is brand new, I'd just be patient and wait until Tigerdirect sells them again. You could buy a new Nc2000 cooler and extra hard drive for the extra $150.

    Then why does he have them on eBay if he dont have them anymore, sounds fishy to me.

    If he does not have the computers and selling them like that, it is bad business. I can understand a week delay etc but saying that it is not coming is, it is not how you take care of the customer.

    I got mine a day ago. it's in great perfect condition and has no dead or stuck pixels, but I've decided I'm just not a fan of the WXGA+ screen. Spoiled by UXGA screens I guess. So, if anyone in the US wants it, I'll sell it to you at cost. That's $730 after tax plus I'm guessing about $20 for shipping. No need for me to be greedy. :)

    Good news guys!

    You can call and have your name put down and card charged and they will place you down for priority status on upcoming orders, so when they arrive they ship out to you.

    No worries! :) Mine will be here around May 16th

    The eBay guy probably ordered a bunch, listed them on eBay, then got a cancellation email afterwords because they couldn't fill his order.
