BLACK ANTEC 1035B 350WATT CASE under $60 at Staples B&M after PM and Coupon

[Oops]

I just bought this at my local Staples store. Staples are carrying them for $129. EMS Computing has it for $73 with free ground shipping. I printed the ad and the shipping cost and brought it to Staples and asked for a pricematch. A sales guy told me they only do 100% pricematch on internet sites, not the usual 110%. I said fine, because I also brought the $15 off $75 coupon to bring it down to $60. However, he asked the cashier at the front desk to ring me up because they were closing, and only had one line open. He even specifically told her that this is a 100% pricematch, I guess he didn't want me to have it for $67 (after 110% pm). But when the girl asked the Manager to do a override, the register automatically deducted 110% of the difference, $62, bringing it down to $67. I thought it was $73, and bought some envelops to bring it over $75 to use the coupon. The girl even asked me which coupon I want to use, the $10off$40, or $15off75. I said the $15 one of couse. When she gave me the receipt, it shows $55 total!!! ($52 + $3) for the envelops. She guess she didn't even look at the coupons carefully. But anyway, I guess that was a bit luck there. But you can definitely get them for $67 (after PM) - $10 coupon = $57 out of the door!

What staples did you purchase it from? I was going to pick one up on my lunch today here in Tampa, FL and I called three different stores, all of them said they do not carry computer components, i.e. cases, MBs, anything like that. Any ideas??

Coupons are applied to pre PM price, shipping is matched to next day not ground...YMMV.

The Staples web site shows this having a "300 Watt ATX SmartPower (PP303X)", not a 350 watter. Did yours have the 350 watt PS?

Yeah, YMMV. But Staples.com carries them as well. You can phone in and make a PM. If it doesn't work, keep trying. BTW, this is in Portland, Oregon.

Welp, I had to do it! Just ordered from Staples via the phone, nice woman gave me the 110% pricematch to EMS Computing plus $10 off of 40 or more coupon. Shipping was free. Total after all said and done was $63.23, not too bad for a case that retails there for $129, and I am sure I could have messed around more with the coupons and saved a little more, but I am happy! Thanks, Oops!!

Well, I got an interesting call back from staples just now, they canceled my order and said EMS Computing is not an "authorized reseller" and that unless I could come up with another web site then my order was cancelled. When I asked what constituted a "authorized reseller" was, the girl could not answer me. I then asked to speak with a manager and was told I would hear the same thing from him and was basically hung up on. What crappy customer service.:disgust:
