Tablets under$250?

That Cowboom looks interesting. Are the items sold by individuals, corporations or a combo of both like ebay? Some stuff seems a little over priced or overstated like some tablets are listed as "used" and have "significant scratches and wear" but are being sold for just a few bucks less than new.

Damn. Sams has the Nexus 7 *32GB* for $245!

Unless I find another kickass deal, I'm probably going to pull the trigger on that Acer A200 from BB. Went to the local BB and held it in my hand and it was nice. I can get a older 10.1" for the same price as a brand new 7" Kindle Fire HD. Its a really good deal.

The stuff on cowboom and amazon are used or refurbed, they have a rating scale from 0-10, most of the stuff i have is usually 32 gig, and 10.1 in size. All of the ones I have received are 7 or 8 in rating, I cant even tell that they have been used.

Thanks dude. I'll have to give that cowboom a shot when im not down to the wire on time. I'm going to swing by Sams Club at lunch today and see what they have but to be honest, and after about 6 hours of research, nothing has come close to that Acer A200 10.1" that SBU posted a link to last night. Bang-for-buck, its thee best so far. Only wish it was a 32 gig internal. But that can be delt with easily with a 16gig micro sd.

Newegg has a sale on New Lenovo IdeaPad A2109 16GB 9" tablet for $249 + free shipping.

Newegg.com - Lenovo IdeaPad A2109 (22901DU) 9-inch 16GB Tablet PC - Black

Thanks CD. That's what I went with...The Lenovo A2109 9". I went back to my local BB to buy the Acer but realized they also had that same Lenovo you and newegg listed. I did a side by side and bang for the buck, the Lenovo won. Its newer, faster and has more out of the box pre-loaded stuff. The 9" screen and the stainless steel build really sold me also. I told the sales associate that NewEgg had it for $10 cheaper and BB matched it and dropped the sales tax saving me almost $20 which in turn put me at the same cost as the older Acer I was originally looking at. I broke even at $228.00 out the door.

Thanks for everything guys. The replies to this thread helped immensely.
