Oh yeah!!!

Went to OM & they had one Olympus C4000 left - the floor model. So I tacked on another 10% discount to get this hot camera for $180!! Thanks nightman - you rule!

OOS of the Cendyne in Katy, TX for $9, so I picked up a Pacific Digital for 19.99. Is this not a hot deal? It turned out to be a Sony DDU1621 packaged with Power DVD so I figure it's at least warm, and no rebates to mess with.

I was told this isn't on clearance but an instore special for the week. The stores in my area didn't get there trucks in on Friday so they didn't get any in for the sale.

While true....Cendyne is out of Business.....so there shouldn't be many more of these floating around. Good Luck all ...and thanks again nightman! :)

nightman I LOVE YOU!!! (in a brotherly way dude)

I already have an Olympus C4000 from an old OD deal but I dropped it and put a big dent in it and now the zoom lever sticks. As soon as I saw your post I RAN to my nearest OMax 20 minutes before they closed and snagged the last one they had - the display model. They tacked the 10% off to the original price so I got it for $159!! SCHWEET!! Thanks a lot nightman!!

Do you know what speed was your Pacific Digital? I seen a 16x/40x and a 16x/48x PD drive with same upc?

jesus christ. We payed $350 for this camera last nov. and got a bunch or card sticks with it which was a great deal. Now $199 is amazing. Are there any coupons floating around to make this hotter

What a surprise...just called the crappy Office Max nearby and they are selling those two DVD ROMs for regular price. I figured it was too good to be true for me :) I was going to get 2. *sigh*

I just picked up 3 of the Cendyne DVD-Roms for my systems that do not have one. This was in Alpharetta, GA. The clerks in the store had no idea the price was $9. The shelf tag still read $79.99. Hurry or the employees will these on Ebay.

I was told the same thing!! Tell them to scan the item!! most of them are too lazy to check the item number they just look at the sticker price!!

It's not that they're too lazy to check the price, it's the way OM's system is set up.

If they pull the item up in their computer, it shows the original price. The only way to find out the selling price is to scan it at the register.

Last night I bought a drive in Jacksonville for $9. I bet you just called the store, didn't bother to have them ring it up, right? Its been $9 since they opened on Sunday and started handing out their new in-store only flier.

None in stock in my area - bummer. They had the Pacific Digital for 19.99. Bought it to see what's inside. Its a BTC drive. No thanks, back it goes. For the people who got the liteon LTD 163D, you got a nice deal. I have one and love it.
