    I'm a bit new to Ubid so I don't know how their bidding works, but I came across this list of HP Pavilions that are all ending within the next 20 hrs. Starting bid for about 15 or them are at $2 with no reserve and shipping is about $28.06. They are Manufacturer Refurbished, but they are really nice computers.

    Processors ranging from Core 2 Duo, Core duo, AMD Turon X2, Celeron M, and Core solo....
    Graphic cards such as GeForce 7400, GeForce Go 6150, and most stock cards

    I would think that most of these retail round $800 or more ^^P Happy bidding!

    UBid.com is quite reputable. A couple of my friends have bought notebooks from that site.

    How much of a discount do you get (compared to HP's site) if you get it here?

    Depends. If you're around at the right time, then you can get a pretty good deal. The dv9000t's are pretty popular though and go up quickly. Although I'm trying to figure out the best time when to bid.
