Asus Eee PC: Who Got Lucky?

So who's the lucky dog that got lucky on this?

Apparently, Asus' Eee PC is so small, even NewEgg's atypically quick fulfillment crew couldn't believe that five of these things could fit into a single cardboard shipping box, so they just decided to slap labels on entire cases and let 'em rip. Truth be told, there's no telling how nor why a number of users on the EeeUser.com forums were initially sent five machines for the price of one, but judging by a list of reports and even an accompanying picture, 'tis true. Supposedly, NewEgg caught on to what was happening and began turning shipments around before they were delivered, but rather than getting an apologetic call, credit towards a future purchase and a single overnighted laptop, some customers actually received all five. Granted, we're hearing that those in the latter camp were kind enough to let honesty prevail, but who knows how many lurkers are quietly slipping their newfound Eee PCs onto eBay as we speak. So, the question beckons: did any of you receive a whole lot of unexpected Eee PCs? Do tell

Mod fight!


I've taken advantage of this situation before and got four bathroom light fixtures for the price of one clearance one.. ended up being about $500 worth of lighting for something like $30.. definitely not a good idea to put the price tag on the outside of the case...
crappy part is I only have three bathrooms and the double crappy part is I'm a procrastinator big time and they're still in my closet.. been sitting there for about three or so years now
