OK, my head hurts from reading all of the cheap UPS posts at staples. As my mind clears, I don't think this one has been covered yet!
staples has the APC BK300C on clearance for $17.50. It's 300VA and only has 2 outlets, as well as the modem surge protection. So this one basically is not as good as deal as that "other" one for $7.50. But for $10.00 more, you're still getting a good UPS. Frankly I like the way this one looks. This one looks like a mini-tower computer, vs. the "other" one that looks like a giant surge protector (with me, it's all about looks!).
From the receipt:
APC BACK-UPS 300VA
731304009818 $17.50
No sign of a SKU, so I assume the above number is the UPC.
I came across this one while looking for the $7.50 UPS. While at the Duarte, CA store, two of the employees (one apparently the manager) asked how I knew about the SKU's. She said some other guy (who I am sure will end up reading this) had been in a few weeks ago with a list of SKU's as well. I informed her that I found out about it on the internet. She said "Well, that's confidental information and shouldn't be put out for the general public to view." She was slightly irritated, not a raging beyach like she probably could have been, based on her short, portly appearance. I politely responded, "Oh, but this information wasn't posted by an employee or anything. People just find the good deals in the store and post the information from their receipt." She kind of shrugged and went back to her duties. Gee, if they put it on the receipt, they must *really* want to keep it a secret! Shhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!! 😉
Anyways, good hunting!
