That is weird, but I just ordered 2 for $70 shipped and no messing around with rebates. Nice deal, thanks OP.

my order went through....lets see what happens. Maybe people add it to their cart then decide not to purchase it? Probably why its instock and out of stock every few seconds.

/edit: At step 3 right now, so my credit card got charged.

looks to be dead:

"We apologize for the inconvenience, but the item you are looking for has been deactivated."

Wonder if it was a price mistake....hrm. who knows.

Figures. I woulda liked to see the reaction on their faces from the guys at newegg when they saw a billion orders for seagate 160 drives for $35 lol.

i tried ordering 3 but during checkout it reduced to 1. they emailed: Your Newegg.com sales order has been successfully charged to your credit/debit card and order verification is now complete.

what does that mean? "They emailed me to cancel it"?
I placed 2 orders and were both charged.

It means that Newegg sent me an email and said that the order has been cancelled.

thats what I assumed, but they way you worded it, it sounded like they emailed you to request you to cancel it, not that they emailed you that it was cancelled.
no prob

am curious how they decided who gets cancelled and who doesnt. You would assume first come first serve but who knows.
Anyone want to start posting their order times to compare?
Mine were between 10:45 and 11:01am , no cancellation email... YET
