Where is the $20 off of $60 coupon?

Heh.. Try looking at his username and signature line. My guess is that you can find that coupon on his site.

BTW.. I wouldn't trust overstock any farther than I can throw them after a deal gone bad with them. I bought 2 items and both were defective. I exchanged the items for 2 replacements (I had to pay in advance) and they were defective as well. They were also supposed to be refurbished, but they were beat up and used as far as i am concerned. I had them pick up the second set and it was such a hassle to deal with them. Not to mention that it took me about 6 contacts and a couple months to get all my money back from them. Never again.. I'd rather spend a few extra bucks and get new from somewhere else.

What pissed me off more than anything was that overstock was just the middleman on this deal. They put me in bed with their "fulfillment house" Justdeals and they are even lousier than overstock IMO.

Anyway.. YMMV, but if you don't feel like going through some potential hassles, I'd look elsewhere.

This is NOT a good deal!

$81.56 for a used (and maybe refurbished) 5,400 RPM drive sucks.

from newegg.com, you can get Seagate Barracuda IV ST340016A 40gb 7200rpm EIDE , 9ms Average Seek Time, Ultra ATA 100, OEM - 3 year manufacturer warranty for $84.

Even with the $20 off coupon, the deal sucks. Pay the extra $20 and get the Barracuda, agruably the best drive ever made. And so quiet, you can't even be sure it is running.
