Thought the price lowering deserves a new thread.

Amazon has lowered the price on the Sharp Zaurus SL-6000L to $379!

Get 'em while they're hot.

The price has gone down from $499 4 days ago to $475 yesterday to $379 today.

I ordered at $499 on the 24th, they refunded my credit card $25 the next day and today they refunded it another $95.

At this rate I should have all my money back and begin turning a profit by December 13th!

 

Thank goodness for price-adjustments!!

I had been lurking on eBay for weeks in search of the 5600 but secretly dreaming of the 6000L.

When I spotted this massive price drop to $379, I couldn't believe it. I raced over to Amazon.com as fast as Safari could take me and threw it into my shopping cart. What a great deal. In a week or two I'll officially be a Zaurus user. Can't wait.

Amazon is a BIZARRE company sometimes.

Now the price is back up to $489.99.

How can an item go from $500 to $475 to $380 to $490 in 4 days?!?!?!

Customer: How much is this item?

Amazon: Depends on what time of the day you want to order it!?!?

I thought only Gas stations changed the price hourly. Who knew?

Just glad I got my at the $379 price!!

That's called "they are now gone"... the $489 is for a *used* one!

I'm glad I got mine at the $379 price in that perspective... that was quick!

Looks like they came back in stock.....at least for the time being.


I suggest anyone on the fence take the plunge and decide during Amazon's 30 day  (or however long it is)  return period .....of course you'll have to pay to ship it back, but it beats missing out if it turns out you really wanted one.

(As Mentioned in an Earlier post)

Anyone who bought the 6000L at Amazon for MORE than $379 within the last 30 days is entitled to a price adjustment (credited back to your card).

Just use there email help system or call/phone them with the order number and order date in hand.  It only takes a few  minutes and bingo, you've got a partial refund.  For anyone spending $499, that would be a cool $120 dollars back.

Woohoo! stumbled upon the $379 6000L at amazon accidentaly and bought it.  I'll become a Zaurus hacker in about  2 hours when I get home and open the box. I paid for overnight shipping. I can't wait to try and get GPE running on it.

Damn, I see it for $519 right now for NEW.

And it says with a splash - New Low price - are they taking me for a ride or what ?
I was braving my wife's wrath and buying another Zaurus, and I still dont get the price that you guys are screaming about :-(

No way am I buying that for $519.
