I think I paid 300 $ USD for my first nitrus, ended up returning it though. 49 bucks is great price.

You got it.

By the way, these are coming out to $54.05 after tax. If you want to send a paypal, my address is payments <at> spmicro <dot> com. I could also accept Euros at the meet.

So how many would "Rob The Mule" want to carry...? As for that price I wouldn't mind one either...

I'd imagine so... but you'd better hear it directly from Stig so I don't end up with two

IŽll be more direct: AOL! (If possible of course.) Stripping off packaging for less bulk in transit is perfectly OK by me.

OK, So I just placed the 3rd order of the day.

If Stig doesn't want it, I'm sure someone else will.

I got a cancellation notice from IBM, but it doesn't mention which order was canceled. I would assume it was the last order for two, but it could be the first one in which case nobody's getting anything.

I don't know why an outfit like IBM can't have up-to-the-second inventory on their website.

Did they say it was cancelled due to the item being out of stock ?

Maybe they thought three seperate orders by the same person for the same item was suspicious ?

Seems it's because they're out of stock. People on fatwallet that placed their orders yesterday are getting the notice and I just got the 2nd one. Lame.

Check out the text of the cancellation notice:

They must have sold that division to a company in China too. You would think they could at least list a reason for the cancelation.

They do. "due to inventory constraints" - they've run out.

It would have been an order hadn't I seen that you got the cancellation notices... Thanks for the try though.
