No harm in that since smart/most sales people sell to that customers needs.

Have to do some reading on the processor in the intel deal though.

Wanna bet they havent? Their first bundle was a bit over 2 years ago.... AMD 3200+ with a Asus K8V SE Deluxe... was $220 or so I think with a $100 rebate. At the time the items they gave would have cost about $400-$500

Also came with Far Cry on DVD =) I'm STILL using that cpu/mobo to this day, great value!

Don't forget it also came with the Super Cool AMD T-shirt!!! I'm using the mobo/cpu combo to type this right now. Definitely looking forward to a new rig

Well I have 18K points but dont work in retail 🙁

 

[Bad Dude]

Anyone got their code yet?

 

[D22]

Why would someone sell for a 15% markup when they can just Ebay it for a 100% mark up? But hey, maybe we got some uber rich costco workers up in here (yeah sure)

And LOOK, I like to openly talk about retail fraud here, too. Let's face it, I'm just not that bright.

keep the hardware and ebay vista you mean? vista is a piece of trash

 

[imported_OrSin]

Coming from someone who has not used vista. Sorry but Vista ia pretty sweet. For the idiot users it helps them keep a clean system. For the advance users it easy to get around the secruity stuff. Some things have chanced but right now its better looking XP and in 6 months it will be better work XP (hardware vendors fault not MS).

 

[oslama]

event code went to nunya.

i may get two more next wk @ holloween

i had 17K points and was 694 in the bundle Que. I do not qualify.

 

[GoodRevrnd]

So, I work for one of the retailers but my store isn't listed in the 2nd drop-down. In fact, half the stores in my district aren't listed. Is that deliberate in that the other stores don't qualify? I know enough managers at qualifying stores, I might just ask them to cover for me if Intel calls. 😛

Edit: It might have something to do with the fact that ALL of the computers in our store have AMD processors. 😉

I've got the same one, unfortunately I left retail... anyone want to participate in a fraudulent activity with me, hyuck, hyuck?

the mobo has onboard video, not a good overclocker . Just buying that bundle would make a great HTPC since there is already onboard sound + video + cpu, just add a cheap hard drive and reliable psu and your set. Awsome deal.

There is video on it? Thank god, I really didn't want to have to buy a new video card (I already have to get new memory🙁)

No more open soliciting of illegal deals for this package in this thread or on these forums. The next one to do so get more than a mere taunting!

I want to make a "Straw Purchase" so if anyone lives in Tampa and is willing to help me out, I will slip you a few extra bucks if you cooperate with me. For more details contact me via private message.


Thanks.

I only asked once and it's not like I kept begging. If someone wants to help me, then so be it, why should it bother you. That person stands to benefit from helping his fellow anantech brother.

You gotta fax in your paystub.

Do they call you and ask you to fax in your paystub? Usually they call to see if you actually work there. Are you sure you have to fax in the paystub? That was more like AMD.
Thanks.

Last year they verified with work.

This the year prior they required a pay stub

it changes

Thanks.
