Used or new?
As long as it works, it makes no difference to me.
Ebay, Craigslist, and Wacom themselves all have tablets, new and used/refurbished.
I spent the last couple of days doing online research, and I think I got it at a very reasonable price -- cheaper than anything on amazon, ebay, or the Wacom site, including refurbished.
I also accidentally ordered three tablets because the cheap-price site timed out twice during my order, and I spent the next six hours trying to cancel the order. But eventually it worked!
If you're pleased with the product, can you post the site to the forums?
ooh what size did you end up getting?
I's got to know!
And I'll warn you, if you ever try one that's bigger than the one you have, you'll want it!
Ever since I tried the cintiq, I've been craving it!!
I got the 6x8. I almost got the 4x5 (or 4x6) but I figured that I might as well spring for the extra $30 and get the higher class tablet. I kept hearing that I'd regret not getting AT LEAST a 6x8, so I took the nigh-unanimous advice.
I ordered it from pagecomputers.com, for about $254. Including shipping and tax. (May have actually been $256. But somewhere in that $2 range.)
This is the one I got....
...and I just noticed that...
...this one is also listed.
All the specs are the same, though. The only difference I can tell is the color in the photo, and the ten buck cost difference.
you got the acad or academic one, I'm not sure how they expect you to prove that you are a student, usually they ask for id, or class schedule before you order, but if you can get it at that price, sweet!
Good move on the bigger one, it's nice, I have a 20" monitor, so I will be moving up to a larger one soonish, either that or go nuts and get a cintiq......my precious.....
Ruh roh.
So far, they have yet to ask me for a school ID or anything.
/fingers crossed
yeah you should be fine, if they don't ask at the beginning, you should be good!
Hell, even if they did... it's only saving me a ten-spot. I can manage that on top of the other 25 ten-spots I'm paying.
Okay, I've decided to actually get one with my birthday on the way. Anyone have any suggestions as to where I can find a good price?
I think I'm going to go for either the Intuos3 4x6 or 6x8. Haven't quite decided.
