GCO time again! 20 off of 60 this time... Even better!

[houe]

I've have a hotmail email and an isp email. The hotmail has never got these coupons but my isp email has got th 20 off 80 and now the 20 off 60. Maybe gmail isn't sending coupons to the free email accounts?

Anyway how about this for a deal: linksys wrt54gl (the good one for linux firmware) for 42.99 after rebate ($10) and 20 off 60 coupon?

 

[nyker96]

I got the emal as well, stll looking for something to get ... what to get ...

 

[jalaram]

I didn't get either coupon. I used GCO once or twice only, however.

 

[fleshconsumed]

What do you guys do to receive those coupons? Buy using google checkout a lot?

 

[Replay]

I used GCO once, to buy a video card. Used it again, with $20 off $80, to buy a video card, and I'm thinking about using the $20 off $60 to buy, wait for it, a video card. Would anyone like to buy a slightly used video card?

I have used GCO twice also and got this coupon, once for the $10 off first purchase, again with the $20 off $80 then one week later I get this $20 off $60.

I was under the impression that they're trying to encourage people to use GCO more so sending these to people who use it less.

The $20 off $60 would have worked better for me, I used the $80-$20 to purchase these earphones to make working in a cube a little more tolerable. (added John Wayne 10 pack of movies to put me over the $80 target)

Now I'm trying to find something I want for $40

Don't know about that. I used GCO once and never received any coupons. That's why I was asking what do you guys do to get those coupons. I wouldn't mind having some.

 

[nyker96]

so what ya guy all get with this 20/$60?

Onund: these headphones look like something outta a Zen garden. :]

ya, seems like no. That was just my thinking when I got the first coupon because I only used the new buyer bonus before that.

hehe, I guess so. With the added sound isolation I might as well be in a zen garden. The guys over at head-fi.org recommend them in the 70-100 price range so I thought for $55 they're a steal.

i got the 20 off 80 on one of the like 4 accounts i have used google checkout on. the one i used the least by the way.

i think its only for buy.com

 

[hans007]

i was looking for stuff to buy with mine.

i dont really need this but bought it anyway. figured i'd give some of you guys a heads up. I guess its today's special.

http://www.buy.com/prod/pny-ge...loc/101/204450333.html

$30 AR and 20 off 80 or 20 off 60 gco pny 8600gt

 

[mindless1]

Didn't get any email notice, but received the $20 off $80 when I put a item in the buy.com cart and google check(ed) out.

I think the ticket to the coupon might be is...... You gotta also sign up with Buy.com email spam... Then you probably get it. maybe... who knows. Maybe the GCO and Buy.com both emails have to be at the same account...

I could be wrong on all this but just a thought.

I buy a lot of crap via buy.com but only with a coupon. 🙂 Thinking about getting a USB Hard Drive. Can get a WD 500Gig for about 104 bucks shipped so 84 bucks is pretty good... I bought a HD from Best Buy when it was on sale so I may return it and get my tax and 20 bucks back...

Here's what I ended up getting:

Dane Elec 2GB micro SD $17
-$9 rebate

Sandisk Sansa C250 2GB MP3 player $26
refurb, should be version 1 meaning Rockbox compatible, coincidentally can take micro SD chips

BIC America Venturi center channel speakers (V52 series) $68

Free shipping on everything.

I wish that were true. However, I've been getting the buy.com spam for ages. I would occasionally get a "We missed you" coupon, but that's it.

My theory is that you just have to use GCO a little more frequently than the once or twice I used it (which was during the initial $10 off promo).

I've used GCO once per my accounts and I received them 🙂

My $20 off $80 got extended. I'm thinking about using it to buy the Acer AL2216W - 22" LCD Monitor. $210 shipped using the GCO.

I've long had the GCO account, and infrequently use it. 'Didn't receive the email mentioned here, but decided to try out the above.

'Took the Google Checkout as far as the "Place your order now -- $77.99" box [for Corsair 16GB Voyager USB 2.0 Flash Drive w/ $20 MIR] and there was NO $20 off.

Okay, I thought someone had said $60, but I was shy of $80, so I added a 2GB uSD card [Dane-Elec 2GB microSD Secure Digital SD Card w/ $9 rebate] as we just picked up 3 phones which can use it.

BINGO! -- the box read "Place your order now -- $74.98". ['Remembered to select FREE shipping in box.]

So the deal works.

(((Now... is a 16GB USB flash + 2GB uSD worth $59 for me???? Undecided about pushing the button!)))

Great. Now I have to see if there's anything I want for $60. 🙂

I'd be interested to know what you think of these phones. Do $100 phones REALLY sound $80 better than $20 phones?

Try this combo + free shipping:
Verbatim Optical Mini Travel Mouse

Great little AM/FM/TV reception

... errr... depending on how you do the math, I spent $55 for mine. If you're asking me would I spend $100+ on these same cans if I had to after hearing them? No. I've had something like this on my wish list for around 2 years and haven't bought them because the price was >$100.

My main motivation for these were sound isolation in an office environment and on airplanes. I was filling a void, not upgrading. I haven't used them much yet but so far I would say, yes, they really do sound better than my $20 over the ear open headphones and they do an excellent job isolating. The price I paid for them fit right in the range I'm willing to spend without weighing the pros and cons, $100+ doesn't.

Are you asking more generically, do any $100 phones sound $80 better than $20 phones? That all depends on what $80 means to you. It also depends on your source. I'm pretty sure I'm limited by the bitrate of my mp3s rather than the quality of my earphones and I'm in no hurry to re-rip my CDs.

hum, that was probably a more details answer than you were looking for... let me try again, in terms of what $80 means to me:

Generic question: Given a sufficiently good source, I would say yes.
Specific to the ER6i: No.

yes, well done; I did mean generically speaking; I use various inexpensive headphones and I've wondered about the difference in quality when spending more. Thanks so much

That's what I figured after seeing the picture. I've got some cheap Koss Spark Plugs which also plug up the ear and they do a decent job, though they sound a bit too bass heavy.
