If someone could private message me the info on a Sams club that still has this drive, i'd appreciate it, thanks.

And if anyone else finds stores that do have it, PM WITH STAPLES... if everyone buys up the drives from sams club, it's going to be hella hard for the rest of us to get the drives from staples.

Price showed up as 84.91 at the St. Cloud, MN store. I printed a copy, and went to my local Sam's here in Rochester, MN. Gave it to the guy at the desk, and he accepted it, though he didn't look too happy:) Walked out with 120GB of HD space for $171, not bad!

I dont know what stores have the drive listed for $84.91, but i did order two drives online for $112.91 and some cdrs to get to $250. Best deal I have seen on this board in a long time.

Big thanks to all who helped make it possible.


after doing a refresh - i see its $84.91 at one store, will sams give me back the difference since i already ordered it ?

Well tried going through the relatives route. Called my mother in Orlando. She's a Sams Club member. Checked online and that particular store had some in stock. Called Walmart CSR. She said yes, there are 8 in stock.

My mother went up to the store. The manager looked all over and couldn't find any. :(

We tried pricematching here in Austin, without luck. If anyone manages to pull off a pricematch with the S-IH35 store, and there are any left, please PM me.

Picked mine up today. With tax (FL) only $90.01. This is more of a steal than a deal. At times, SAMS Club rocks. Ape Out.

Called a Customer Sales person (Cicero, IL) and had her check the Chicago,IL area. None available. Nearest one to me had 4 left as of 5:30 p.m. in Merrillville, IN. a 45 mile drive (one-way). Got 2 already, do I really need anymore? If you're in that area, grab them before they're gone!!! Still has my vote for the 'Hot Deal' of 2001. Thanks to Perplexer for the post... :)

Any members out there that would like to help out a fellow member? :)

I would like 3 drives and will be willing to pay a "finders fee" and shipping charges for the drives. Please PM me or email me at animedude@stupid.com

Thanks!

For those of you who are still looking for one I have an extra one that I paid 112 plus tax for it if you want. I will only charge you a shipping fee plus five dollars for my gas/time.

Please PM me if you would like this.

Thanks

Does anyone know which stores have a lot in at the $84.91 price online? I'd really like to find that drive at another store so I can go back to mine and get a price adjustment, as I already purchased three at $112.91. That'll give me another drive for free.
Thanks a lot!

I went to local Sam's today. They said it is 139.
I probably have to use Click 'n' Pull trick to 85 price

I still haven't sold my extra drive. So anyone that wants one, read up a few posts.

For Staples PM::

The Sam's in Merrillville, IN -- find the phone number from the click 'n pull-- has the 60 GB WD in stock for $84.91 but not listed online. I was able to PM with no problems whatsoever. By the by, I dont live in the state of Indiana(the issue was never raised). I believe by having the CSR call directly conceals the location of the Sam's store. Use the following instructions taken from DaRana's write up::

&quot;Call up Staples.com at 800-378-2753.

Tell them you want item #:IM1073227

Once they look it up and find it, tell them that you want to Pricematch the item.

When they ask where, tell them &quot;Sam's&quot; or &quot;Sam's Club&quot;

They may try to look it up on the website, but tell them that you have a phone number for a regular store~critical, say something like website confusing calling would be a time-saver~. You will need to find a Sam's Club that has the drives in stock ~Merrillville, IN~.

~Tell the CSR~ The Sam's Club item # is: 282410. They will then put you on hold and call up Sam's Club to verify the price. &quot;

Cheers
