Hot or Not? Iomega 12x4x32 $110.00 after PM

[daid]

BestBuy.com has this drive on sale for $149.99 here. Staples has this drive for $249.98. Doing a price match for $149.99, then adding a small item to get over $150.00 (Bic pens for .88) allows you to use a $40.00 coupon which brings the total to $110.00 or so plus tax with free shipping. Is this a good deal for this drive?

thanks daid..i heard that staples charge u extra 7.99 and other 7 for shipping and handling..is that correct???

 

[dude]

Handling? You put it in a box, throw some peanuts in it, seal it.

That don't cost anywhere near $7 to box. Unless their shipping department people gets paid $200+ an hour.

they do charge 7 .99 shipping and 7 andling BITES MAJORY

 

Its the companies insurance they get some money back from our wallets that we took from their wallets.
To be expected from a company.
But how long is the offer standing.
Im going to call tomarrow during business hours.
OR are they open 24/7? Then I would do it right now.
