Samsung 840 EVO 250 & 500 ADDED: 1TB (EDIT: now lower)

I'm not sure I understand this, but it looks like there are great prices currently on Samsung 840 EVO drives. They are sold by Adorama Camera via eBay with free shipping (48 states). EBay lists them on the daily deals page as if it's a one-day price and a Black Friday Doorbuster. Is this a Thursday only deal? How can eBay even have doors to bust? Seriously, normally doorbusters are loss leaders; they are to get people into a store to buy other things. Does that even work with eBay? A good price from one vendor wouldn't make me want to buy from a different one.

Samsung 500GB 840 EVO, MZ-7TE500BW for $279.99 (NewEgg: $339.99)
Samsung 250GB 840 EVO, MZ-7TE250BW for $139.99 (NewEgg: $189.99)

Those are what is listed on the daily deals page. I searched for all EVO drives. The 250GB & 500GB versions that include notebook kits look very cheap, too, but the prices for the drives in other sizes didn't jump out at me.

I don't know anything about Adorama Camera.

ADDED - DealNews says that B&H photo and Amazon have the 1TB version for $550, which is the lowest price they have seen so far. (I found out about the Adorama ones through DealNews, too.)

ADDED2 - The sales on the 240GB and 500GB are over, but now B&H has apparently lowered the 1TB to 540. NewEgg has it at 540, too, today only, I think. I don't know about Amazon.

Adorama is a well respected camera retailer.

Heh, I was feeling pretty good that I managed to snap up a 240GB EVO for $140, but now DealNews says that it's available from Buy.com for $120 with a code. Figures!

Thanks slashbinslashbash.
