posting a deal after a long time so may be little rusty...

call staples and ask for item number IM1E24910
ask to Pricemacth it to zipzoomfly

here

apply this coupon

they cant charge you shipping because they take 5 days to ship an item from ingram micro. and zipzoomfly offers free shipping
btw already tried it so it must be in their pricematch history so it ll be an easy pm

My past experience with Staples using both a coupon and price match has not been good. Please let us know if anyone succeeds with this.

Well it worked for me. The PM came up as 137.00 and the -15 coupon made it 122+ tax which was 129. Still a better price, and now I think ZZF is out of stock so i'm ok with that.

Worked for me - 127 total!

THANKS!!

/edit FYI - they did charge shipping for me, even though I said ZZF didn't charge shipping. YMMV on this, but this is still very hot!

A couple of other places have it at almost same price
http://www.mwave.com/mwave/vie....hmx?scriteria=AA26840
http://store.yahoo.com/directron/deskstar250.html
but no free shipping so YMMV on the price match. Remeber this is a special order so they cant chanrge you next day shipping in the pricematch . It takes them 4-5 days to ship this to you. If they try to charge you ask when you ll be getting the item and why you are being charged next day shipping when they are getting it to you in 5 days

Mine shipped...double-checked my final price on their website = $120.05. :)

Thanks again, OP!

EDIT: And I think he meant OOS @ Staples...because ZipZoomFly still has this in stock...just for $136.00 shipped instead of $132.00. Also, beware of some of those versions of the drive you linked to..the OEM ones have a bad warranty! The big plus of these guys is they have 3 yr warranties!

Uhhh... what is wrong with my day?! At staples.com, I don't get a match on the product code (IM1E24910); nor do I find any HDs by IBM/Hitachi.

Everyone else seems to be succeeding... sigh. Ever since those aliens abducted me, things have gone weirdly..... :)
