Was it that price even when the 6000L was launched ?

That guy must be hopping crazy to think he can palm off (no pun intended) a Zaurus at that price.

Is that actually cheap ? That's more than an imported c3000 would cost.

No, he is not. I am a new Zaurus owner who got his from shanetso at $395 on December 12. I was almost going to be a victim of jpettins but before things exploded around here I took the time to check what else he had been selling and he (pettins, not shanetso) had only sold multiple ET the Extraterrestrial books for US$0.01 so I did not trust him. My ebay transaction number is 5737274915 and you can still check it. It arrived new, in original packaging, no dead pixels. The amount you see shown is because it was shipped to Guatemala, Central America.
If someone is going to buy from him he never answers email, but he lists a phone and he answers it. It was my first ebay transaction, I had to pay by very insecure means (money order is the only way to pay for some international transactions), I had only 400 to spend, I had already lost 2 or 3 bids for 5 or 10$ difference, so I took my chance with this guy after reading almost 200 random transactions he had made. Hope it helps. My comment: at that price better get a 3k from pricejapan or wait for him to land from space and fix the price.

"Super rare you cant find this anywhere"

Because guys like that buy them all up.

Think how much money he could make if he just sold them for $400.

I doubt the guy actually bought 43 of them.
Amazon probably lost all their stock all of a sudden because some guy hijacked a delivery truck.

You could probably import the entirety of Japan for less than what hes asking for his 43 6000s.

Check out the completed sales. They are selling for $899.99 plus shipping (7 of them so far). Some for more! Didn't know how valuable your Z was, did you?

Retail $599.99

I love how he's advertising that the retail price is $300 US cheaper then his auction. Not only that, he doesn't even mention that they're no longer being produced.

I watched a couple of the auctions, it seems not all of them are selling - especially since "Lizzy" is undercutting a lot.
