Hot? 30GB IBM Deskstar 75GXP harddrive: $71.00 DEAL GONE SOUTH

[HKSturboKID]

Again, miss out on another great deal. But anyway, I just picked up the maxtor 20 gig for $83 bux with the free 32 meg ram. Coulda use the extra 10 gig.

Damn, I just bookmarked this deal an hour ago. I was going to order it at work. Now I am at work and the deal is gone.

Anyone take a screencapture of the product page and get a SKU or an IM part number. Maybe I can call and order.

BTW, I got my GeForce2 GTS from Staples yesterday. Total cost = $138.10!

Thanks forum.

hmm, just used my $15 off $50 code to get the 16x dvd for $83 shipped..

i was gonna jump on this one, but its gone i guess...

Fooey: thanks for the tip on the 15GB Maxtor. I started the last thread and am now afraid that I may have shot myself in the foot by posting. No good deed goes unpunished, right?:Q Anyway, it'll be nice to have a backup, since the whole purpose for finding this drive was to replace an older drive which just failed today. Good luck to everyone!

Standard HTTP logs always show the referring URL, meaning the page you were at prior to the current one. So if everyone clicked the link to take them to that item, they would easily see how they were referred there. It's much more reliable than them just asking people "How were you referred to this site" They could get clever and script a nasty suprise based on this, (Redirect anyone from anandtech.com to a page saying that theyre out of stock) but that would require quite a bit of effort and would have little real use. After all, our money is just as good as anyone else's, and in this case I believe this price wasn't a mistake since it was in their clearance section.

Thanks for clearing that up

Well I ordered last night when there was only about 10 responses to this thread. I still haven't received an e-mail confirmation on my order as of this morning. I checked the site and it says they are still processing the order. Who knows. I still don't think this is a typo in pricing. It's not that far fetched. I remember buying one of these for $115 and it was legit.

I went thru ebates, did not clickthru from Anandtech. And anyway, I have software that blocks both Useragent and Referrer information, and I *still* have the Anandtech link in my return email. Most strange. I'm not very happy about it either; there is no way they should have known I came from here.
:disgust:

I went thru bensbargains and thats what it says on the instruction line. about the "processing" on order status, it seems they update only at end of day. so we will not know till then about who gets it and who does not.

 

[SiberianTiger]

dang, i went through ebates and they still had the anandtech link. weird. order is still being processed. we'll see what happens.

 

[Zorro]

does anyone want me to call a CSR and ask the status on our orders ? :Q

 

[JSFord]

I just talked to CSR, she said they havent downloaded their web orders
yet from last night, so she didnt even have it on her system yet.

We will see...............

 

[UNKNOWNDUDE]

BAD NEWS AS EXPECTED


Spoke to CSR, I was told orders were not downloaded yet but he looked up by part number. He told me hard drive was on clearance for $71 and those were returned drives by customers and that they only had very few drives and their warehouse currently showing 0 available for shipment.
