Edit: They raised the price. Still not a bad deal but not nearly as hot as it was!

Click me (cheapest yet).

Rebate forms (multiple to get $70).

In case anyone asks about needing original UPC on both rebates, the rebate states to send both rebates in one envelope. Good 3/12-3/13/08.

 

[uhohs]

oh wow.
so tempting.

If I had an SLI motherboard I'd pick this up and go dual-GPU. Amazing price.

I was just looking at this, but found out that the rebate house is one that has jerked me around in the past. Waiting for the next deal....


My 8800 GTS 512Mb Tiger order was 10 minutes late it seems. Farted around looking to add stuff to the order, then remembered to go through the 5% ShopDiscover CC discount links, and got backordered on the card.

Yes, not the best but not the worst either. I guess it's a risk/reward type of thing.

I got my eVGA 8800GT SC for $230 shipped back in November from this site. Didn't have any problems.

Flaming hot.

Sound like you'll never get rebate?

Never say never. I have never lost a rebate and I've done 100's if not 1,000 rebates. Sometimes, you have to call a few times, but usually, if you work just a little, you'll get all your rebates. YMMV of course but others have gotten their rebates using this company.

Awesome, in for one. Got my confirmation of 'payment processing', and I noticed they bumped the price up - final price AR is now ~$150US.

is it flaming hot if the rebate comes through ?

For the $145.xx it was earlier, I would say yes. For $161.xx, it's borderline hot/warm. Still a good deal, just not as good as it was.

is NCIX reliable in terms of rebates ?

I have not used them. The Galaxy deal, in one form or another all involving rebates, has been around for quite some time. I have not seen any complaints about rebates in any of the Galaxy thread. Doesn't mean there aren't problems, I just have not seen them.

 

[isekii]

i'm like 50/50 on pulling the trigger....

**must resis**

 

[SirSnipe]

I got one back when they were 219 after MIR, great deal!

 

[Budarow]

Great price, but I've gotten ripped off for $88 total in 2 MIR scams over the past year. Over the last ~8 years of buying PC components with rebates (~>100 MIRs), I've gotten every 1 except for the 2 referenced above.

I'm not buying anything with a MIR from anyone but a firm I know and trust and WorldWideRebates isn't 1 of them!

Thanks for the post though

 

[OptiGrabInventor]

Sweet, my price was $215 shipped before the rebates. Now I'm not as concerned about them.

ditto..


This deal is REALLY tempting $70 on a rebate is risky though...

 

[UltraVioletDream]

back to $200 now

My card just died. Ordered on Feb. 12 not too long ago.
