    Office Depot FAR and cheap stuff

    Figured I would wait and see if the USB drive dropped to $7.99. It didn't, so I decided to pick it up anyway, since $9.99 is a decent price. When I went to check out they added a "Small Handling Fee" of $9.99 and it's not available for in store pickup. I can buy them for $12 all day long at...

    NEWEGG Promos!

    That's a very fine line you're trying to draw there. That's not what Newegg is claiming at all. They don't say "you'll get this product in three days". They simply tell you what carrier and what class of service your product will be sent by.

    Compaq Laptop Pentium Dual-Core (Merom) T2310 / 1GB / 80GB / DVDRW / Vista / 15.4" LCD / $399 No Rebates @ Best Buy

    Wow, someone woke up on the wrong side of the forum. If you're not familiar with grown up discussion that's the sort of information you provide in reply to my information. Simply saying "nyah nyah you're wrong" helps no one and makes you look like a jerk. This need to feel smugly superior...

    Compaq Laptop Pentium Dual-Core (Merom) T2310 / 1GB / 80GB / DVDRW / Vista / 15.4" LCD / $399 No Rebates @ Best Buy

    I'm not wrong at all. HP may have listed incorrect information on their site, but that's their fault. The manufacturer of the system in question lists right their specification page I linked to: "Memory Max Up to 1 GB DDR2". If you have some other evidence, that's great, let's hear it. I...

    NEWEGG Promos!

    They must not have actually shipped it ground or the carrier themselves must have rerouted it for some reason. Google maps puts it at 43 hours of driving from City of Industry, CA to my house in CT. Even if the truck somehow drove nonstop from the start of business on Monday it would be a very...

    NEWEGG Promos!

    Those are the perils of ground shipping. I live on the east coast, everything from California takes a full week to get to me when it's shipped ground, longer if it wraps over a weekend. Some of my deals from last weekend (the Abit board and E2180 from Mwave and the CoolerMaster case from...

    Hottish: 13 month XBox Live Gold card $38.99 shipped

    $49.99 is the retail price. The markup on it is pretty slim so it's not common to find deals on it specifically.

    $9.99 Ultra Wizard Mid-Tower $30MIR Free shipping to Radioshack store

    They've expanded the Ship to Store in the northeast. My area still seems to be left out though. There are a bunch in eastern Mass, RI and far eastern CT as well as a lot in NY/NJ and southwestern CT. If they'd get to north central CT I'd be happy. The rebate is good for two more days so I'll...

    McDonald's Monopoly 2006 Game w/ Best Buy Bucks

    No, it's not. You simply don't understand the different game pieces (not to be confused with Game Pieces). A Chance piece is different from a Game Piece, it is the same size as two game pieces and cannot be confused with game pieces. You don't get Chance pieces on hashbrowns, which is why you...

    Ultra V-series 500W PSU $40.00 w/$40.00 rebate $ free ship

    I didn't make any conclusion about the quality of the power supply whatsoever. I simply DON'T CARE about the quality of a free PS I'm going to use with other free or nearly free gear. I certainly didn't ask for your opinion. The first time it was understandable, but every time someone...

    McDonald's Monopoly 2006 Game w/ Best Buy Bucks

    Well, no on the terminology, but yes on the process. A SASE is a SELF addressed envelope. An envelope you create that's addressed TO you. Having your return address on it does not make it "self addressed" the outside envelope is addressed to McDonald's. You've got the idea at least. You...

    McDonald's Monopoly 2006 Game w/ Best Buy Bucks

    No, that's just how you normally write an envelope. SASE stands for Self Addressed Stamped Envelope. It's an envelope you enclose that is addressed to you and has a stamp. It's what they send the game pieces back to you in. You're paying the return postage, not them.

    World of Warcraft guest passes.. I have a few.

    He's not offering the box guest passes. If that were the case he wouldn't have "two accounts worth". He's offering up the Refer A Friend codes you can generate and send to people, which are limited by account. If the person using your code signs up, you get a free month. This IS a referral...

    Postal meters imprint a "mailed from" zip code, and you are supposed to mail from that zip code. In practice, this doesn't always get looked at.

    McDonald's Monopoly 2006 Game w/ Best Buy Bucks

    No. A "Game Piece" is two Monopoly pieces which are usually properties but could also be "Instant Win" stamps (usually food prizes). A "Chance Piece" is actually one Chance Piece (a $1 or $5 BB Buck) and two Game Stamps (properties or prizes). Each SASE actually gets you guaranteed $1 or $5...

    refurb Radeon X800 XL AGP or new Radeon X850 Pro AGP = $119

    Well that figures. I just installed my X800 yesterday. The 850 is new, too! It was still a great deal though. At least I don't think I'm missing out on anything with the 800 over the 850, I only have a P4 2.53 w/1gig.

    80-hour TiVo® Series2 DVR + 1 year of TiVo service for just $83.40 & no rebate

    That's great but not really relevant. DirecTV stopped offering TiVo (they developed their own PVR) in 2005 so you can only get them on the secondary market now. You certainly can't get one from this deal.

    80-hour TiVo® Series2 DVR + 1 year of TiVo service for just $83.40 & no rebate

    That's basically it. The only downside is that you'll change from the grandfathered $12.95/mo plan to a plan of the same price that requires a 1 year commitment each time.

    80-hour TiVo® Series2 DVR + 1 year of TiVo service for just $83.40 & no rebate

    $19.95/mo is a new thing. That part isn't a good deal at all. They moved to a contract model and upped the month-to-month. I pay $12.95/mo because I was grandfathered in, which is now the one year contract monthly rate. This deal is fantastic because I can upgrade my TiVo basically free...

    AMAZING! hot!!! Buffalo or Linksys QUALITY wireless router for $5!

    Correct, you need to sign up with FON to access anyone's FON router. It's not open to anyone who happens to be passing by. As a heads up, they're quite aware of the heartbeat issue and you should expect a drastic change in the reporting method. I don't know the time frame, but certainly...

    Previously Loved Dells at Hot Prices

    I'm typing this on an Optiplex PIII-800. It's my main (and fastest) machine, and I definitely agree about the reliability. My only complaints are the lack of AGP slot and that the fact that it's Rambus makes dropping another cheap stick in impossible (and 256 is my biggest issue). Despite...
