There is a 20 off 60 coupon for first purchase on site(popup window)

FYI - I saw tons of this Intel wireless series stuff at Big Lots for $10 each. They had the keyboard,gamepad, mouse, and base, but none of the combos.

 

[raiders710]

what;s big lots

 

[weepul]

wasnt this exact same combo $10 (online intel) or even free (compusa) several weeks ago?

guess we know who bought a whole bunch of them and are reselling ^_^x

 

[BruinBill]

they were going for $10.00 from Intel shop.... I wont suggest getting them... the mouse ran out of battery in 2 weeks... just sold them on egay.

 

[RazB]

the mouse is the single worst computer product I've ever used in terms of value. I replace the batteries every 7-8 days and when I called INTEL tech support they said, "because it's sensitive to light...try putting it in the drawer or cover it with a towel....maybe even remove the batteries when not in use"................Beautiful response.

 

[Shagger]

I can only get about 50 hours of use out of the mouse before it drains the batteries - The keyboard is fine, I have yet to replace its batteries (after 4+ months of use).

The mouse = suck

 

[dpham00]

This mouse definately sucks. Not really compaining though since I bought it in September at CrapUSA for $20 with a $30 rebate

 

[divide by zero]

Now $42.99 at overstock after a $20 rebate.
Can't find the rebate link. Is the rebate in the box?
Follow same link as in the first post in this thread.

 

[dpham00]

Don't buy these if you're looking for a mouse you plan to use on a regular basis. They die after about 2 weeks, even though i only used them about 1 hour a day (if that)

Sorry this is off-topic....but if you're bored and want to read something amusing I've attached an e-mail exchange between myself and an eBay seller. If anyone does care to read it, let me know if I'm the one that's nuts, or if it's her...

The exchange:

------------------------------------------------------------------
Would you consider selling one of these:

NEW INTEL WIRELESS KIT-BASE+KEY+MOUSE+GAMEPAD

to me for $25? I also live in Chicago, so I could pick it up or you could ship it pretty cheap. Please let me know. Thanks!

-Icecube
------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------
i'll sell it to you for $50. if you will pick it up. otherwise,shipping is additional $15.
thanks
-Her
------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks for your message!

Where would I have to pick it up from? I'm sorry, but the most I can afford for this is $40. Is this ok?

-Icecube
------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------
hi!
If you go in the store this kit is 89.99 the base +key+mouse without the gamepad.
I'll give you this for 50$ with the option to pick it up without paying shipping.
If you can not afford more than 40$ I can not afford to sell it less than 50$
Let me know.
-Her
------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------
Where in Chicago would I have to pick it up?
-Icecube
------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------
hi.
we are in XXX and XXX.
give me your phone# and i'll call you to set up pick up arrangements.
thanks
-Her
------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------
$50 is too much for me. I'm sorry, and thank you for your time.

-Icecube
------------------------------------------------------------------

SO I THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE THE END, RIGHT? GUESS NOT:

------------------------------------------------------------------
ok.go get it fr the store for $100.you said yes and now no.you waste my time.
-Her
------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------
If you would please review my responses, you would note that I never said yes to your $50 offer...I merely asked where I would have to pick it up if I agreed to buy it. XXX and XXX would be quite a long drive for me, and it doesn't make it worth it if you want $50.

There was a special not too long ago for the Intel wireless mouse and base station for $19.99 - $30 rebate (the purchaser actually made $10 on the deal). There is a similar deal that includes the keyboard. Here are auctions for all three for $34.95 ($30 rebate):

http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1310401300
http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1311025909
http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1311025901
http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1311677734

$40 is more than a fair price for all three. You can see that no one has bid $50 for the auctions you have set up. Nobody bid $40 for this one:

http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1308002656

If I would have to pay $100 in the store for this, than why you you be so willing to sell it to me for $50? Why not $75 or more??

I did thank you for your time, and I thank you again. But there's no reason to get angry about such a petty issue. Life's too short.

Hi!
I'm selling my products with 60$ buy it now or 50 $ at the end of the auction.
So is no reason for me to sell it less then that.
THanks
-Her
------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------
I realize the prices you set, I was just explaing that they are too high. That is justification enough to sell for less. If you do sell one or all of them for $50 or $60, more power to you.

Thanks again for your time.

don't write me anymore.you are wasting my time.
-Her
------------------------------------------------------------------

I DIDN'T EMAIL HER AFTER THIS ONE. I LET HER HAVE THE LAST WORD. SO AGAIN, THIS SHOULD BE OVER, RIGHT? NOPE:

------------------------------------------------------------------
those e bay item # you gave me doesn't include the game pad and they are selling it for $65. plus $10 shipping.
why didn't you go buy there?i know why?its still more expensive and not complete set, right???
you won't do that because you are the type who thinks you can just bug someone and get what you want for almost free.i told you also not to email me anymore.if you will not stop bugging me i will have to report you to the authorities. i don't have time for people like you.
-Her
------------------------------------------------------------------

HAHAHA...AUTHORITIES!!! AND DID I TRY TO GET SOMETHING FOR ALMOST FREE?? NO, I OFFERED $40 FOR SOMETHING SHE WAS ASKING $50 FOR. WHATEVER...

SHE HAD HER CHANCE TO GET THE LAST WORD ABOVE WITH "don't write me anymore.you are wasting my time.", BUT NOW IT WAS MY TURN:

------------------------------------------------------------------
Why did you e-mail me again?? I did not e-mail you since your last message! You think I'm wasting your time? The feeling is more than mutual.

If you would carefully read what I sent you, you would see that yes the ebay items I mailed you were $65 BUT THERE IS A $30 REBATE FOR A TOTAL OF $35 ($65-30). Please be a little more attentive.

I still don't understand why YOU e-mailed ME again TWICE. I thanked you for your time, and I thought that was it. For some reason you felt the need to send me a "stop wasting me time" e-mail even when we were finished. I didn't reply to that e-mail, and then you send yet another e-mail??

No problem. You are just one of those people trying to rip off others. I wouldn't buy your product from you for $1 now.

Well, I have blocked your address from my account, and I am very glad that we are done communicating. I have as much right to REPORT YOU to the authorities, as you have now sent me 2 uninvited e-mails. I have every one of our e-mails on record, and if you think I have done anything wrong, I will be happy to provide them.

Good riddance.

So please, if you bothered to read all this, let me know which one of us is nuts...
