**HOT** Sharp LL-172A-B 17-inch Black Multimedia LCD $160 Shipped AR/PM/YMMV

[PicPop]

Hot! Dell Home has the good looking Sharp LL-172A-B 17-inch Black Multimedia LCD with 16ms 450:1 contrast for $198.76 after $100 rebate (Dell is a vaild retailer) [Exp. 12/31] with free shipping.

Call Dell at 1-800-449-3355 to price match with Buy.com for $279.99 (Dell has lowest prices guarantee and they will price match with lower price). YMMV.

Your final price is: $298.76 - $100 rebate - lowest price guarantee discount = $160.21 shipped.

If you can't get the price match to work, $198 is still a great price for the monitor consider it's rated #2 on the PCworld Top10 LCD list.

brilliant plan, just tried it myself.

problems: Dell can't match the price, and there is tax (is that only for Texas residents?) making the price 323.41 - 100 = 223.41 shipped.

thx tho

Dell says they will match the price for me--rep is verifying price while I'm on hold right now. How to see that Dell is a valid retailer for this coupon?

Whoops! More data. Dell can only go as low as $291 BUT they will provide free shipping if you ask. Tax is also charged though, which would bring the price to $316 - $100 = $216. That's a very reasonable price for a great display.

Rebate is not valid at online only e-tailers, states the rebate form. Dell is an online-only-e-tailer

Read down:

"For a list of authorized retailers, call 800-741-1365."

Called the 800 number, for this offer code (#OSYA00011), the authorized resellers include: BestBuy, DataVision, Fry, Marine Corp, NexCom, Office Depot, Outpost.com. Specifically asking about DELL, the answer was NO.

Here's a thought:

1. buy the monitor from dell
2. buy the monitor from one of the "authorized resellers"
3. mail the rebate with a copy of the non-dell receipt
4. return the monitor non-dell monitor

Will this work? Or will they verify whether the non-dell monitor was returned?

Ethical?

 

[Jinxt]

Not legal either. Triple's solution probably runs the risk of mail fraud.


BTW, for a newbie like me, what does YMMV stand for?

 

[WangDangDoodle]

YMMV = Your Milage May Vary

 

[Jinxt]

Thanks. I would never have guessed.
