I found some in the Colorado area. But when I call them, it's all sold out. I know I'm not suppose to call, but I had to have them shipped...

I checked eight stores before I found one.

Umm... consider that one gone.. If you waited to pick up your order, most likely, it's gone. I placed an order, but some bastard got to the store before me and bought it( saw him carrying the LCD in his cart), even thought I placed the order before I went out.

Yup, me too. Office Depot does not reserve these at all even after you paid for them online.

I got the last one in Henderson, NV...I called ahead to see if it was there. She asked if I wanted it held till I got there, I said HELL YES! Once I went in for pickup she told me that 10 seconds after picking it up, she had a customer yelling at her that they wanted it. Nice monitor -19", DVI, and 16ms response for $178 after tax (Couldn't order online, so no coupon, but, I will send in the rebate to make it 158).

Thanks OP!

Yeah never trust them to hold a clearance item. On fatwallet dozens of people have had the exact same thing happen.

The reason most of you are calling this deal "dead" or saying "hu? I cant find this" is because its an IN STORE DEAL ONLY.

Probably too late for you now sorry....snooze you loose.

Some people were ordering online so I was hoping to do the same. I live over 200 miles from the nearest OD so an in store deal is out of the question for me. I guess that makes me an amateur.
If anyone is interested in selling their monitor, please PM me.

I was able to pick up 2 last night from an office depot about 25 mins from me...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v392/raines8416/monitors.jpg

Called the store around 8, they told me they had 6 in stock. I got there about 8:45, 15 mins before close and bought 2 of em. Checked stock online, and said there was still some left at the store, and I was actaully going to be in the area again this morning. Stopped in, and they told me that they sold out last night, and the online stock thing must have been an eror. Most likely the employees are hording the rest.

Dang, I need an OD near me. I get stuck with crappy Office Max. Not even a Staples. If anyone wants to sell theirs for a reasonable price to a fellow ATer, please PM me.
