Do you believe cyberrebate?

[mirrorlake]

I am just wondering if there are so many free stuff in the world?
or it is just another big lie? but it looks so attractive.

Works just fine. In fact, they have great support if you ever have problems. been buying from there for awhile now. You get the rebate in like 2-3 months.

only catch is their severely inflated price before rebate. if you look at their pre-rebate prices in comparison to others, it's a joke. but, they gotta make some money somewhere, so they do it on the float.

I seriously doubt they make their money on the float. Let's be very generous and say they make 10% annual yield on the cash. On a hundred dollar item they'll see $2.50. That might be enough to cover handling, shipping and maybe processing the rebate.

My guess is they make some money from the not fully 100% rebated items, and most of their money from saps who don't bother to send in for the rebates.
