My daughter wants a Polaroid for Christmas, and this is the only one that may be still in production, or at least bought new. However, the only place I can find them for sale (other than going through price-gouging on ebay) is at Target - and, only in store, not online. The local Targets don't have it!!

Do any of you have one, or would you be able to purchase it and mail it to me? Target is apparently offering it for $40.00, so I'll pay that much plus shipping. If you find it cheaper, you get profit!!

Please let me know. Otherwise I'll end up paying a couple of hundred for a new digi camera and the Polaroid printer (which actually sounds cool, but costs $100 in itself).

TIA
 
Sarah, I'll ask my DH tonight. I'm pretty sure we have one but only used it through 1 pack of film. It might be neatly tucked on his closet shelf. I won't be able to answer until tonight though, so if you find one sooner - great!
 
email me your phone number & I'll go to target tonight when I get off & see if they have it & if they do I'll call you to make sure you still want me to get it for you. [email protected]

Thanks, let me know! Even if Kasey is able to find one, it might be cool to have an extra for my daughter to give a friend or her cousin.
 
Sad that they aren't going to be making them anymore...that is what got me into liking photography and cameras when I was little. Kind of like losing an icon...:(

Hey, if there are any in my area Target's, I'd be happy to help you out. The inventory system on Target.com is down right now, but I'll check it later. PM me your phone number, and if I can find it, I'll call you first to make sure you don't already have it. Or, rather, I could just buy it and if you already have it, I'll take it back before I mail it to you. Either way works. Not a big deal. I live at 'The Get' most of the week.

Jean, if you do find it, you'd have to send it immediately, since you won't be able to do much for awhile after the surgery!!

If you find it, which I doubt, I think they just haven't updated the website, PM me. No one has been able to find it, yet, but if I somehow miraculously wind up with two I can easily find a happy owner for the second.
 
I have one, a case for it and one pack of unopened film.
