I came across this while looking for a laptop, refurbished acer 7" Tablet for $99.
The only review I read gave it 3.5 out of 5 but for $99 can't go wrong, good for 3 yr olds?!?
Review can be found here:

Because I feel belligerent, I'm negging because of limited quantity!

I feel as though acer is being punished by publishing the remaining qty…
And because I'm in a bad mood and feel like being a stickler for the rules
Well if it makes you feel a little better!
And I am not being sarcastic.
"If your deal has limited quantity, please mention it in the description. If the quantity is too small then your deal may be removed. As a guideline, less than 10 quantity of items is not enough for a deal unless the item has a high price. "
Many people would consider $99 a high price. Perhaps best to read the guidelines before posting them next time.
Have another neg.
Held this in DSE yesterday and be warned it is very basic. Not a refined product, felt heavy and cheap… Was $149 in dse fyi.

That said, if $100 is your limit, youd be hard pressed to find another branded tablet with aussie warranty.
"felt heavy"? It's 320 grams or is it not?
try it yourself.
go to a store, pick this up and weight it against the other popular tablets like samsung tab, nexus 7 or ipad mini.
This tablet does feel heavy, bulky and cheap.
I know what sickllama was refering to. on paper, this tablet would have look normal. but in real life, when you handle it, touch and feel, it's a big different.
of course, that's one of the reason it's $150 normal price and $99 when on special.
I have a Samsung 7.7, which if I recall correctly is actually heavier than 320g, yet it is well designed and I don't think it feels heavy or bulky. I know the two isn't a fair comparison (given you can't pick up the 7.7 for $99), but just wanted to share my experience for those looking to buy the tablet without ever placing hands on one…
i think you can get $29 cash back from Acer as well.
If they honour the $29 cashback http://ec3.acer.com.au/AcerCashBack/ACA/Projects/CashBack/Lo… then this is an ok deal I guess.
DSE deals lately are limited in quantities but no one seems to neg them.
Firstly, it's a dupe one month ago, which the coupon code for extra 10% OFF is still working "TAXAFO15M13"

Secondly, without the coupon code will cost $114 after shipping. I will prefer DSE Asus ME172V with Brand New and 1GB Rom FREE SHIPPING for $129 instead $104.10 for this.

Not sure is this eligible for cashback, $29 off bring it down to $75.10 will be a good deal… But highly chances no cashback for refurbished items
Confused, which is better Single Core 1Gb rom Asus or Acer B1 Dual Core 512mb rom?
This was brand new for $99 a couple of months ago at bing lee, bought one for my 6 year old, he loves it, but I would not buy this refurbished at the same price.
this thing been this price before few times didnt it?
still the old cursed 512mb, 1gb would've hit
