    Harmony 880 - $99.00 free shipping at buydig

    IIRC, the cradle charging issue has been fixed. That was why there was a massive amount of refurbs available at Amazon and others a few months ago. I got in on a price mistake and got a new one for the price of a refurb. Biggest issue with the 880 for me IS the button layout as previously...

    Sound & Vision Magazine

    Ummm... use an email account that you don't give a crap about :confused: How did they get your number? I don't remember the sign up page asking for a number, and if it does why would you put your real number in? I don't even use my real name. Might want to chock it up as coincidence, maybe...

    cordless drills

    Try purchasing a drill that uses an intelligent charger, or buy one aftermarket, hell, make one if you are feeling froggy (http://www.angelfire.com/elect...c/hayles/charge1.html). It will charge the battery only when needed so it can stay on the charger, and always be ready to go when you are...

    Anyone ever been to a wholesale auto auction?

    Yup spot on, but to be honest I thought I would save even more. Considering the price for gas at the time was at it's highest and I thought the market would be down for trucks. If I managed to get it at this price without actively participating in a dealer only auction, I figure the dealers...

    Anyone ever been to a wholesale auto auction?

    Can confirm that it's not a substantial savings. Just got an 06 Ridgline RTL for $15k a couple of months ago. Just off of Honda lease. Local dealers wanted $20k or so. So I only saved a few thousand but I didn't have to go to the auction, I just told my guy what I wanted to pay, and after a...

    not quite fanless heatpipe almost silent 500w psu for $55 shipped no rebate...

    Ahh, this is probably the reason mine is quiet. It's in my house's headless file server (1 HD, no GFX, no optical drive, no sound, etc...). You changed my mind about the second purchase.

    not quite fanless heatpipe almost silent 500w psu for $55 shipped no rebate...

    Just got it and installed it today, and my observations are: Heavy as hell. Thought they may have sent me a block of steel by mistake when I picked up the box. Silvery outside, sort of like the magnesium alloy shell of a Panasonic Toughbook. Bunch of extra modular cables that will...

    LendingTree.com

    I probably fell under this, but it seems (refering to the offers I received) that you aren't necessarily dealing with banks but with mortgage brokers who are working for banks. According to my closing papers the mortgage brokers owned the loan and then immediately sold it to a bank. Which...

    What are you doing to save?

    Refinanced the house, traded the gas guzzler in for a Honda, mixed table scraps into the dog's food :)

    LendingTree.com

    The current economy is kicking banks in the nuts right now. You should see the kind of deals and how much they are willing to negotiate right now on large purchases. Just got the wife a new Honda Pilot and I almost felt bad about the deal I got. Almost :) edit Of course my investments and...
