8 outlet surge protector $5 no mir BB B&M only

[rgreen83]

BestBuy has a Cyber Power 8 outlet surge protector 3400 joule protection for $35 - $30 instant rebate making it $5 bucks out the door without messing with any rebate junk. It looks just like this one here, but with different arrangement for the cable and phone/ethernet jacks.
It has a 6 foot 3 prong plugin, 5 regular outlets, 3 transformer outlets for the oversized plugs, cable, ethernet, and phone/modem protection. Includes Two 2-wire phone cords(6 foot), and a 6 foot coax line. Model #860

Everyone should use these instead of those regular power strips for the $175000 connected equipment guarantee if nothing else. I got three

[Rumpltzer]

Very nice! I'm gonna go grab two...

Most surge protectors like this run over $20 so I would say pick this one up while supplies last. I never understood why something so simple has to cost so much, now we know, it doesnt have to

Just got back from the one near the Tacoma Mall in tacoma, wa.

They had 4... I bought 3... $4.99 each, confirmed.

However, they were not displayed with the price. They were all stacked up, with no indication of any sale.
I was reading the package, trying to figure out if it was the right one... when the electronic guy comes over and asks if I need any help. He said "do you know the price on that?"... And I said "I think so... but the price isn't anywhere here" <gesturing at the rack of surge protectors>
And he replys "It's $5 after Mail-In-Rebate"

I thought "crap! MIR!...uh... I'll go see how it rings up..." $4.99, NO rebate!!

If I had listened to the sales guy, I would'nt have bought it... but luckily, I read the anandtech forums!

Oh, and the model number is 886 listed on the side of the plastic package. The only clue on the front was "3400 Joules"

Thanks! I needed these!

Ok... I'm using this thing now.

There's 2 lights on the top -- 1 says "ground", 1 says "surge"

The surge light is ON, and the ground light turns on when I have something plugged in and in use.

Anyone know how the lights should look? Is ON a good thing or a bad thing?

Man - I was totally bummed when I went to the BB power isle and saw that there weren't even signs for the 3400J 886 model. So I walked around a bit to see if there were anymore lying around and shortly after I saw 3 just sitting next to a computer display. So needless to say - *YOINK* - I came out w/ 3 of those in hand.

SKU is definitely: 6074428 and model 886.

the BB in SF, CA is OUT!

BTW, this is still on, I have cleaned my local BB (Fort Collins, CO) out 3 days in a row. They just keep stocking, and I just keep cleaning.

wait, the $5 sale price is still good during the coming week?

 

[SKORPI0]

Found the last one at the Orland Park, IL store. None in stock Monday so they probably had more come in their Tues/Thurs shipment.

Sale for this item ended 10/20, Saturday.

 

[adams828]

picked up the last 3 in my store! those sneaky b*stards had them hiding by the video cards instead of with the other suge protectors

 

[jackywebdesign]

does anyone here know if this deal is still on?

 

[Marauder-]

Who knows - doesn't hurt to check. I think it was in their flyer when it was active 2 weeks ago. I'm not so sure but I think it might be b/c it's a discontinued item.
