Okay, the guy from Chicago that can’t figure out how to mail a Palm Pilot?

He’s got the right idea, apparently. The bid (with time left to go) is now up to $168.

That’s right, it’s $30 less than a brand-spanking new one at Best Buy, or Circuit City, or direct from Palm itself (with free shipping!).

As for me, I’ve decided to wait, and learn more about these monsters before I commit. I mean, yes I love gadgets, and I need to be better organized and keep track of appointments and other obligations (I keep forgetting things, it ain’t pretty), but I can wait a little longer and figure out what I want and how much I wanna spend.
