    Microsoft Force Feedback 2 joystick $30 at Microcenter B&M

    Getting off telemarketing call lists

    I signed up for this years ago and it didn't make any difference in the amount of telemarketing calls I got. Recently my telco (Verizon) started offering "no caller ID call blocking" for $5/mo. I signed up for it and haven't gotten a single telemarketing call since. I think it's worth every...

    This is true -- see this link for details. There's a limited list of stores that are participating, and they have a list on the above page. None in my area though. :(

    buy.com: 20" CRT monitor $149 shipped (refurb, no rebates)

    Link. $148.95 with free shipping. Brand name isn't specified, it says "major manufacturer". However they do specify it's 1600x1280 and 18" viewable. Not a bad deal if you don't mind brand-name-roulette. ;)

    Nikon CoolPix 5000, $609

    Definitely a hot price on the camera (LINK) at Broadway Photo, only $609. These guys have a pretty lousy reputation, at least according to Reseller Ratings so you may want to just use them for a pricematch instead. Alternatively you could go with this deal at giftsplash.com for $688. They...

    RADEON 7500 AIW for $132

    Wow, nice find SpaceHulk! If they honor that price it's quite a deal. I've been shopping for one of these for a couple weeks and the best price I've seen is $147 on pricewatch. Way to start off on the right foot. One more post and you'll be "Member" :)

    Free alien. (strings attached) ;-)

    This probably isn't really a hot deal but it's too good to pass up. LINK.. Submit your alien abduction story and, if they use it on their site, they'll send you a 36" tall inflatable alien. If you're too modest to reveal the details of the alien probes, you can buy one for $5. :) The 57"...

    Free World Clock Calculator

    You don't actually need the code to make it work. Just go to http://www-1.ibm.com/mediumbusiness/ and click on the offer (it's on the right, looks like an advertisement). As for the account name, I think they're just asking for your company name, I don't think it needs to be a pre-existing IBM...

    Blues from Ameircan Express

    A few weeks ago I was getting sick of seeing everyone on the Hot Deals forum talking about what great Amex BVG deals they were getting. So I called Amex to find out if I could get the BVG on one of my other Amex cards. No luck. So I decided to sign up for a Blue. Fortunately for me, I'm really...
