That really sucks guys.  If it makes you feel any better; I would have jumped on the deal to if I had known about it earlier.

Has Sharp stopped making these units?

My impression is that they are not selling them to resellers but only to corps. for their own use.

OK... I've merged the two threads (don't know why there were two threads about the exact same zaurus being sold by the exact same seller on amazon).

Yes, hence the massive dumpage. and likewise the rapid price decrease.
sharp quit..the corps dumped it my take.
sadly my take also was that pettins was legit.  Of course all feedback was good up to the 3rd.... I orderd 1 on the 2nd.

So how was Amazon able to sell them directly?
Anyway, the 6Ks being out of stock at Amazon should send a message to Sharp (especially about the pricing).

offroadgeek, thanks for merging the threads.

Well I just got off the phone with Amazon and explained the situation.  Since they are doing a computer upgrade, account info is not accessible at their end either.

However, the rep did say that given the circumstances about a possible fraud (unlike the normal misdelivery or item not as adverstised) that they would start an investigation and potentially refund us all within a few days.  He told me to call back tomorrow when the system should be back up.  Hope that makes a few people feel better...

I'm showing that order info is still not available...       That's what Amazon needs to do anything at this point.

I would advise everyone who has ordered a Z6K from Mr. Pettins to contact Amazon at some point tomorrow to express your concern and add weight to a fraud investigation.  The sooner it can be resolved, the sooner we get our money back...
