It was rumored yesterday and confirmed today that TJ Maxx has the 16GB Wi-Fi model of the iPad on sale for $399. This is the bottom rung model, but it’s still an iPad and many people aren’t interested in the 3G version anyhow. As an added kicker, the $399 price has been spotted at Marshall’s stores too.

Remember that this is a whole $50 cheaper for a brand new iPad compared to the $449 you’ll need to swing to get a refurbished model direct from Apple. It’s also $100 cheaper than just about everyone else.

It does make you wonder whether TJ Maxx is selling these as a loss leader to get people through the door or perhaps they’re clearing out all sorts of extra stock in preparation for a second-gen iPad 2 in the coming months. Regardless, reports indicate that TJMAXX is not an Apple authorized reseller, and most stores do not even have them in stock. Probably alot of fluff for nothing.
