Title: 6000L is now $639 at Amazon.com
Post by: DrWowe on April 19, 2004, 05:38:57 am

I\'m surprised the price dropped so fast...  I wonder how much it will cost in another month.

just got my price adjusted down to this.  the number is 1-800-201-7575, if anyone else ordered in the last 30 days.

with the $50 gift card they offered before 4/11, makes it a little better deal.

I ordered my Zaurus on April 8th from Amazon.com, it shipped yesterday, and will get here tomorrow. I emailed Amazon and got my 60 dollar refund on the price. What is this $50 gift card of which you speak?

redbones: thanks for that info! I ordered mine on April 6th, just gave them a call, and got the refund as well! Totally cool!

Its probably because the other 6000 variants including the W are going to come out soon...

Yes, that would make sense  ...but very little of what Sharp does seems to... :?

\'Neat!  Maybe I\'ll call them up and see about that as well then.   \'Jeez thanks again redbones, I usually NEVER take the time to deal with mail-in rebates - but this is really great!  \'more $$ to put towards a hefty CF card!

I orderd mine on the 1st and got it yesterday, it will be awesome if Amazon gives me both the lower price and the promo certificate. It will almost be enough to pay for the expansion sleeve which amazon has in stock now.

I love the screen. Although its not as readable in sunlight as the 5x00 screen, the screen alone makes it worth the price.  I hate the placement of the power button, i keep turning it off accidentally.

Well, it\'s back to $699 on Amazon... Too many Zaurians trying to buy one?

Lame! Guess I made out like a bandit then, I\'d ordered mine on April 8th, called Amazon and got my 60 dollars back and the 50 dollar gift card. Maybe they\'ll lower the price again soon, I\'m wondering if Amazon got a huge shipment in so they dropped the price, but now they\'re sold out.

I saw a 6000L for auction on ebay starting at $460 or something.  Who knows what it\'s at now!  Now that sounds like a good deal.  I wish I hadn\'t bought mine already.
