I just loaded the coupon-its expiration date is now 12/15/2000.

Looks like buy.com is putting a real short deadline on the coupon to pump up current sales-like the old car salesman trick-"this price is only good until you walk out the door."

Hey, I still like buy.com a lot-just keep those coupons coming.

What's there to buy at buy.com with this coupon? I want to find a good deal and something that I need right now. I hate looking for ways to spend MORE money.

I just got a link (which does not work) for a $30 off $150. They said while it is down, I can call in and they will credit $30 for my order. Possible stacking if they do not look close!

I will post the link when it works.

i wouldnt mess with the stacking...just cuz u could end up not getting in on the deal at all...ie( cancellation on a discounted item - $30 + freeshipping (+ if you care, $1.95 2nd day air))...this deal is awesome.

anyhow, I got the 30 off 150 to work just a few minutes ago so it should be ok.

Sony 12/8/32 CD-RW for $238.95 - $30 off 150 - $50 MIR + $3.90 2nd Day Air = $162.85 !!! :)

What I wanna know is what happened to $1.95 2nd day? What's up with this $3.90?

You can also get the slower Sony 8/4/32 for $98.95

Shotgun, Buy.com charges an additional $1.95 per item for a 2nd day upgrade.

Thanks for the heads up KamakaziRcr, I've been waiting for Buy.com to reactivate their $30 off $150 for a while now. Together with free shipping for 20lbs and under is just what I needed to spruce up my holidays. Time to get those Monsoon speakers I wanted...:D

Uh yeah... I ordered ONE item... so free shipping + $1.95 upgrade per item = $1.95 for 2nd Day Air... is the store considering the coupon an item or something?

Eeek! The temp charge on my CC went away!!! I hope they are still planning on shipping! I got to the "Sent To Warehouse" status. Maybe they are changing the shipping charge back to $1.95? Hmmm, I think I'll wait till tomorrow morning before I completely freak out.

I was told by a CSR that they sometimes authorize your card to check for funds twice. Once when it enters the 'sent to warehouse' state, then they do the final one when it ships. Then again she could have been blowing smoke up my arse.
