Gut feel is that they're not a qualified reseller of samsung stuff. You can contact them to find out however. Also I suspect this might be a refurb-printer. On pricewatch and online they do not state "new" or "Refurb" but at that price I see refurb'd units.


Also, regarding this printer. At $55 for a replacement cartridge on buy.com I looked around. Not much better found elsewhere, but I did find some toner-refill kits. They range from about $20-30 for a 2-pack. From what I see, refilling this particular cartridge is a no-brainer.

Also, for what it's worth, I've had good luck using laser-refill kits. Usually refill 2-3x before replacing with a new cartridge. For Inkjets, I AVOID refill kits with a passion.

Ok, now that I have your attention.

I called the 800# on the rebate form to determine who is a "participating retailer". BUY.COM is not one of them. The person stated that this offer does not apply to on-line orders, and thus, .COM companies like BUY.com.

Here is a list of known supported retailers....straight from the rebate-company.
abc wharehouse
bestbuy
cicruitcity
compusa
costco
fry's
JR Music World
Microcenter
Office Depot
Sam's Club
Sears
The Wiz
Other


The rebate-rep said the "Other" likely applies to some small participating stores....but not able to verify. I left a voicemail with her boss asking to clarify if BUY.COM or Forest Lake Solutions qualify.

I actually ordered this from BUY.COM lastnight, but canceled once I read the fine print carefully on the rebate form.




Good Luck.

The person stated that this offer does not apply to on-line orders,

And yet they list J&R Music World as a qualifying dealer, and J&R sells this on-line, and in their on-line ad J&R implies the purchase of the printer on-line from them qualifies for the rebate.

I believe what they meant is that you can't be just an on-line mechant (like buy.com or that yahoo seller "Forest Lake Solutions")
