OK. The Epson 925 has been covered in another thread on FW (now marked as dead, however Staples price is listed in their catalog is still $149.98, so PM should still be alive) but I felt this was waaaay hot enough to warrant a new thread. I was able to pick up the printer from Staples earlier this week, and since then, I've been looking for a deal to kick in the additional $75 MIR of Epsons for purchasing a PIM enabled camera (The DMC-LC33 is listed as eligible here. The $50 GC MIR that CC started offering as of yesterday pushes this to a smoking deal. Other cameras are eligible as well, however I've chosen the Panasonic DMC-LC33 based on previous experience and the HIGH reviews of this camera on CC's website (here, Steve's Digicam Reviews) putting it even over more expensive cameras. I more than likely will do this deal today, and return the Staples printer to reap the benefits listed here.
Other than dealing with several rebates, the only thing that makes it kind of a pain is having to return to PM Staples catalog price on the 925. Even if you were unsuccessful (which I can't see how you could be) you could always BVG it since it is a PRINTED price but you'd lose the additional $8 (10% of the PM). Also, all of this needs to be purchased online for instore pickup, or you don't get the benefit of the 10% CC combined purchase rebate or the $50 CC MIR for the camera)
Anyway, here's the breakdown:
Dmc-LC33 $299.99
Epson 925 Photo Printer $229.99
Preview monitor $79.99
$609.97
-$88.01 PM 925 to Staples $149.98 (110%, come back to PM, Price listed in Catalog)
-$79.99 Preview Monitor MIR (free with combined purchase of Epson 925) Here
-$75.00 Epson PIM enabled Camera rebate (DMC-LC33 is on list) Epson rebate page
-$50.00 CC Epson 925 MIR Here
-$50.00 CC.com Camera MIR ($299.99 and above, online only, GC) Here
-$60.99 CC 10% over $200 INSTANT GC (until 8/31, snailmail offer, GC)
___________
$205.98 after above.
In addition to this, and this is a YMMV bonus, but others have reported success with both of these in other threads) even without these, this is still a smoking deal. But if you succeed with these additional items (one or both) you've bumped this into STELLAR status
- 50.00 Epson 925 MIR (this won't apply, as is a mistake *confused with Staples deal* it's the same address on both forms)
- 29.99 COMPUSA instant 10% off all Digicams coupon (YMMV)Listed here Don't know if this might throw your chances on the additional CC $50 camera rebate (it reduces the price of the camera below $299.99), so it might not be worth the risk.
$125.99!! It's an INFERNO!!!!
