A couple days ago, I came across a commercial for this company called Gazelle. Gazelle has a website that accepts second-hand electronics. Customers can see if Gazelle accepts their product, and get a quote for how much Gazelle is willing to pay for it.

Isn’t it amazing how quickly the tablet market is changing? Not too long ago, we were flooded by tablets that were selling for around $500. It took the Nook Color and the TouchPad fire sale to get manufactures to realize the public does not want to spend that much money on something that isn’t an iPad. When RIM released the BlackBerry PlayBook, it sold for $500 despite lacking (and still lacking) very important features. RIM and retailers have been trying to move PlayBooks through promotional discounts, but that doesn’t seem to be working. It may take a good old fashioned Black Friday sale to get those PlayBook’s flying off shelves.

The BlackBerry PlayBook has played a significant role in weighing RIM down lately. The tablet just isn’t pulling its weight and are causing RIM’s shares to fall. RIM decided some price cuts were in order to increase PlayBook sales. We saw the first instance of this in a Rogers employee sale which knocked the 16GB PlayBook price down to $249. Now it appears other stores in Canada are doing something similar for regular customers.

Since HP officially dropped Palm webOS development, they have begun a rapid-fire liquidation sale in which the 16GB HP TouchPad would be offered for $99 and the 32GB model would be offered for $149. While it may be difficult to find the HP TouchPad in stock on the online HP web store, it is still more »
