Staples has 256MB PC100 Kingston ValueRAM for $338.99
Computers4Sure has 256MB PC100 Kingston ValueRAM for $239.99 in stock with $5 shipping
Invoking Staples Price Match against Computers4Sure lowers your price to $239.99 use a $40 off $200 coupon, and pay the competitor's $5 shipping. For those new to Staples price matching your best bet is to place the order all over the phone then you get everything done in one scoop. First call 1-800-3-STAPLE press option 1 to order something, provide the Staples item number IM1033443, tell them you want to use coupon ##### saving $40 off $200, then tell them you saw this for a lower price at Computers4Sure.com and provide them with the competitor's price of $239.99 and their item number 101977. You'll probably be put on hold for a few minutes while the rep tries to think of an excuse or a way to screw with your head (they're good at this - trust me), seriously though they'll probably check the Computers4Sure.com web site and probably even call them to verify the price is correct. As long as Computers4Sure has this in stock then you're good to go. They'll charge you the competitor's shipping which is $5. Or you can use Staples Price Match Form but I recommend calling because it takes care of the coupon and price match in one swoop and you can blame the CSR if anything goes wrong.
If you're lucky you may get a Staples CSR who price matches against Computers4Sure's after rebate price of $209.99 less $40 off $200 coupon = $169.99
Ok let's get this out of the way right now (let me know if I forget any gripes)
1) Staples is suck.
2) This is not PC133 RAM, CAS1, CAS2, whatever RAM.
3) This is not Mushkin, Crucial (Micron) or whatever else other super brand name RAM.
4) You wish you had the $199.99 to buy this but you don't so you're going to post something whitty and sarcastic.
5) Last but not least Staples is suck.
As always, your feedback is welcome
