200 Pack Samsung 700MB 12X CD-R $50 + tax at Staples B&M

[IonBlade]

My local Staples has Samsung 12X, 80 minute CD-R media 200 packs (2 sealed spindles of 100 in a box) for $50. When I went up to the register, it was still in the computer as $100, but I showed the cashier the sticker on the shelf and, typing in the # on the sticker, it was indeed 50. I don't know if this is local or not (I couldn't find it at the online store), but I'd recommend checking it out - 200 for 50 + tax and no pricematch/refund hassles.

Plus, use a 10 off 40 or 25 off 100 (if buying x2) B&M coupon to save even more. These are e-mailed to you and have to be printed out and taken with you at time of purchase, so I don't have a link for it, sorry
Question... would these work in a Samsung model 709 DVD player??

can someone confirm this deal? Ionblade could you scan your receipt? My people at my local staples are asses. They wont change the price for anything

I was at my local Staples yesterday (Saterday, JAn 6) and these were 100. Probably a local deal, or my staples sucks as usual.

How is the quality on the CDs?

 

[IonBlade]

As to the question of quality, I've not burned a coaster yet, but I've only been able to try ten. I'm new to burning, so I don't know much in the way of comparison. The dye is a yellow / gold color and the discs have a label. I know that I heard that there's a program out there somewhere that identifies the origin of media - if someone can put down a link for it, I'll run it to check out this media.

I'll be putting up the receipt later today (@Home is making me wait while it sets up my web account).

I beieve this deserves a bump. It seems to be a very good deal.

200 for 50 dollars

400 for 100 dollars minus 25 coupon

75 for 400 80 minute cdrs !!!!

that comes out to 18 cents a cd

if anyone can provide a sku, that would be very helpful. I called staples.com and they werent able to track down the item without an item number. IonBlade sent me a copy of his receipt but it doent have a sku. If IonBlade gives me permission, i would post it up.

NP, you can go ahead and post it - I was going to earlier, but @Home's free space seems screwed up. I don't mind as long as whoever wants to get in on this can

i would stay away from samsung cdr's... ihave had bad luck with these,
a much better option would be the kingstons from outpost

 

[chibimike]

I haven't tried the samsungs, but I am not a fan of the Kingston.
Can anyone post a cdr-id of the samsungs?

The Kingstons are cyanine type 1 I believe, very blue color.
I find these are not very robust.
After a couple of weeks in a warm car here in SoCal(not direct sunlight), the Kingstons skip like crazy.
The dye seems to darken with heat.

The most robust cheap CD's I have found are the p-cyanine type 9 CompUSA brand.
These have been in my car for over a year and are still fine.

My 650 meg samsungs are Ritek , they're light green dye (but they were 7.99 for the 50 pack so oh well)

Kingstons suck bad. I can't get half of my stereo equipment to read the cds I burn.
