The demand for the nook is so great that if you preorder one today, you wont get it until the first week in January. I expect nook to be a rather popular item on Ebay this year.

Simarlarly, Last year, demand for the kindle 1 drove prices to over $700 then fell to about $500, this was when the kindle still cost $379. Only time will tell how high the nook will go, but due to its features, I expect it to be well above sticker.
