Dang! I missed it. It would have been a nice gift!. I know they were selling the refurbished unit on B&N ($119 for WiFi and $149 for 3G, see link). $99 for 3G is just too good to miss.
When a 2nd generation device comes out, the manufacturer will generally start selling out refurbishing units and then start clearing out their inventory. The Color Nook has come out. Clearing of the existing Nook can mean either they decide to abandon the e-ink market or there will be a e-ink Nook 2 very soon.

The latest Nook SN >10031xxx has some hardware changes. I think they are all cost reductions, like soldered internal mem. At any rate, the $99 3G Nook sale moved 3979 units!
