HP 9310i (10x4x32 CD writer) ,$99.00 after 50.00 MIR at OM

[wolf papa]

Maybe not as sweet as the 10x Acer, but not bad. The local Office Max had them on a clearance shelf, tagged $179.00, but rang up as $149.00. The Hewlett Packard mail-in rebate is good through Feb 3. Anyone know if it's common for OM clearance products to ring up less than the posted price ? They had some hard drives, too........
