LMFAO!!! Starting late last month and the beginning of this month, I saw a hot deal for an Iomega Zip 750 USB drive for $115 - $5 coupon + $7.50 shipping from Livewarehouse. That was a good deal in itself, but Iomega ALSO had a $50 rebate for the item.

I smell a deal brewing, so I bought one for sale on eBay. I put it up for 3 days and it sells for $112.50. Couple that with the deal that OfficeMax had at the time for free shipping, I'd end up recouping all of my costs for the device plus the potential for the $50 rebate.

So sensing Ferengi-itis coming over my mind, I look at the rebate form. **Limit ten rebates per address**

DING DING DING!!!!!!!!!:p:p

I quickly start ordering two at a time for the next few days until I reached my 10 limit. All ended up selling for between $107 - $110 + shipping charges (which I make profit off of thanks to OfficeMax's cheap Airborne Ground shipping + coupons (free or 1/2 off).

So I sit back and expect to wait a couple of months for the rebates...BUT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I check the mailbox today to find EIGHT $50 rebates waiting for me and two more on the way IN LESS THAN A MONTH!!. OMG, WOOOOOT. What to buy, what to buy? :p
