    Free: Night-Time Renewal Kit from Tempu-Pedic

    At best, you will get a little 'memory foam' that could be useful for finger pillow (if you need one) or wrist-rest (if the piece is large enough for this or your wrist is small enough) and the dvd/vhs. However, I am really curious how I would feel if I sleep on one of those.

    Hmm, decent home for the price. The shipping and handling might kill the deal though.

    NEC ND-3550A DVD Burner + 512MB PQI 60X Secure Digital Card $36 SHIPPED UPS 3-Day

    Weird. The website says limit 500 per customer. It sounds as if the sale last till July-31 but you cannot buy more than 500 DVD writers unless you have multiple identities. Am I missing something here ? nice deal though. Thanks OP.

    Free USB Drive - Microsoft

    not sure how many usb drives microsoft should give away but.. manufacturing mask-rom costs about $50000-$70000. If the volume is large enough, they might give away non-programmable usb drives. mask-rom usb drive is just useless for us though.

    Free Palm Treo 650 & 25 Free Trades w/ 25k Ameritrade Account

    Any decent savings account gives you more than 3.5% interest. For $25k, say 3% interest will be $750/year. You can get a treo650 for VerizonWireless for $100 with 1 year agreement at Amazon now. But certainly this is an alternative. :)

    Polk Audio R15 $49.99 @ Outpost.com

    R15 used to be sold at Fry's for $39.98/pair several times. Fry's didn't do any special sale of R15 for a while (their Fry's retail price was 129.98/pair recently). Since I bought R50s couple of weeks ago and my former fronts are at my rear now, I will wait for a better price. Or I might buy one...

    [dead]Free AMD Shirt or Hat

    In. But most likely I am not within the first 2000th, I am afraid. :( Living in a walking distance from AMD headquarter in Sunnyvale, CA, I feel bad for having only two processors from AMD at home yet.

    Polkaudio R50 $139.98 per pair at NoCal Fry's

    Well, one day only sale. ad link packaged separately as usual. So you will get two tall boxes that are somewhat awkward to be handled by one person. (I am kinda short) Not that heavy but heavy enough to make it awkward. Not sure about the sound quality yet. (I haven't tried it myself...

    [dead} Sony?s External USB Floppy Drive Refurbished

    I have a bit different experiences. For the new PCs (both notebooks and desktops), they do have options for usb booting in the BIOS. Once you have that option enabled, you can boot from the usb floppy. But you had better check your specific pc before ordering.

    FREE Super-Max Razor

    A free giveaway link whose life is longer than several months ? They must be really serious on the giveaway business or nobody got any. Well, what the heck.. :D I am in. Thanks OP. Now I am not sure if I was already in but I didn't get any razor so I reckon I am still eligible.

    1 GB USB flash drive $24.99 AR TigerDirect

    Mine and my friends' experience with Tigerdirect rebate is really bad as well. They mysteriously misplaced my claims or part of it that they cannot give me the rebate while the part that they claim is on the same page with the one that they said they got. I am afraid it is just like a russian...

    Screaming hot: SBC DSL for 12.99 month

    It depends where you are. Apparently the one in Mid-West allows current customers rerate but California Pacbell doesn't offer that. (They are DIFFERENT companies, my CSR claimed) I wish I live in Chicago for the first time in my life. :) This offer might extend to existing customers in a near...

    Yahoo DSL phone number: 1-877-722-3755 When your new location is not covered by Yahoo DSL, you don't have to pay for the disconnect. (read your contract) If you switch your local phone carrier away from SBC, you essentially fall into that category and you don't have to pay for the disconnect...

    Taiyo Yuden 100 pack 4x DVD-R TY01 Revived!

    It seems that they have different maximum speed ratings. TY01 seems to be 4x, TY02 is 8x and TY03 is 16x. Check it out. Might be wrong. But not everybody prefers the faster ones due to legacy support issue in some old dvd players.

    Sennheiser HD201 Headphones -- $17.99

    If you google around, you will find that a lot of places sell this for $18.99. You are right. $17.99 is the best price at the moment. But not that far from the rest of the world, I reckon. Great deal as it is, no doubt. Thanks OP.

    For anyone who might be interested, Fry's (sunnyvale, of course) has $49.99 ar for Seagate 200G PATA 100 drive. At least when I checked it this morning 10:00am PST, they had plenty. Not sure now.

    20 pk DVDRs FAR at Tiger Direct

    $7 for me as well. $7 for 2 DVDR isn't necessarily cheap. Fry's sometimes (very often though) have 50 DVDRs for $10 without any rebate.

    In Korea, it costs you $3 to get diagnosed. If you need some special tests, it might cost extra though. In summary, if you are sick, it might cost less if you fly to Korea, Hmm South Korea, that is.

    30" Student guitar with case dVD and extra strings 29.99 free shipping

    30" is so called a half size guitar. But it is only 6" shorter than standard size classic guitar. For an adult, this would look funny, for sure. But if you have rather smaller hands, you might want to play with half size anyway. ('full size' is a bit larger than a standard size one..) Alas...

    Warm XP Pro 79.99

    Because buying a CD in a way that M$ does not make money is just like getting a pirate copy regardless if the CD is made by M$ or not. If it isn't legal to use it, why bother buying it and use it while you could download it from some p2p sites ? We don't care M$. We care for our own asses...

    2004 Mini Cooper S for $7000

    If you really want to go ahead with a suspicious deal, propose that you are going to use a escrow service that you select at your cost. If the seller responds to it, you wouldn't lose any other than the escrow fee. Still there's a room for scam but you are a lot safer and you can filter most...

    Seagate 200GB uATA $48.88 after $60 Rebate at Fry's.

    There were four left in Sunnyvale Fry's but all of them were "returns"! Not sure if a harddrive customer returned is any good.
