Maxtor 30GB 7200RPM Retail Kit $29.99 AR @ Microcenter

[Whizzer]

Dead no longer available Microcenter online.

I think that many local Microcenters still have this available...so if you have a local store, the deal is still good...

In Cambridge they had 28 listed in stock @ 5:00 pm. They had them hidden someplace and I had to wait for 20 minutes for someone to dig one up. I was there on Monday and had noted they had a pile on the floor with a $49.99 sign out. Thanks NFS4 for letting us know about this deal. I love the $20 - $30 hard drives I have been getting lately.

went to 2 different staples with no luck. "30 gb is so small, we have stopped carrying those" walked into office depot walked out 5 mins later with a 30 gb for $50. they wouldnt give 110%......dunno if thats even their policy. i didnt want to push my luck so i didnt even bring a coupon, ill go back in a few days get another $15 off.

nice deal

Damn it, you guys are killing me with some of these deals.

Ok, now here is a dumb question.... How do you pricematch? (Yea, yea... I know, I know.) But seriously.

Do you just call up Staples (or whomever) and say, "Hi Dan-the-sales-guy, billyjoesupersystems.com has the SuperJammer Stink-Rocket for 5 cents -- you guys charge 10 cents. Give'em me cheap stuff." And then they just give it to you for 5 cents??

And how do you pricematch in person? Do you just print off a screenshot of the cheap SuperJammer Stink-Rocket on billyjoesupersystems.com's website and show the checkout person?

for online, order, then call up after a couple of hours and explain where you see it for cheaper etc. they will verify and either accept the PM or deny. phone they will verify and accept/deny before you order. in store you take with you the print out. in this case i did:

printout of microcenter for $50
printout of rebate
pritnout of authorized dealers, microcenter being one of them.....

turned out, OD just looked at the printout of MC and said ya

 

[imported_Mike]

....slight problem

02-50051 is not a valid rebate offer code

edit: nm, it is valid...sorry

 

[jkersenbr]

is there a printable 15 off 50 floating around? I couldn't find on google or fatty. (this is not a request for the coupon itself)

 

[scornful]

Deal is dead.... apparently sold out as the link is down and it's not on their website any more.... that blows

 

[Jmman]

I receive coupons from Officedepot in the mail about every other week or so, so I had a personalized coupon. There is an instore $15 off $75 coupon/card that almost every Officedepot is handing out to encourage holiday shopping though. You can just ask for this discount and they will most likely give it to you. My local stores are covered in flyers offering this $15 off $75 special....

I went this morning to Staples for the 30 gig. I got them to pm the drive to MC for $50 (manager was a little hesitant but he did it anyway) and I also got the pny 256mb pc133 ram pm'd to Compusy for $29. Both have rebates ($20 from maxtor and $15 for the ram.) You can then use a $15 off $75 (which I forgot at home cuz' I'm an idiot :|!)

30 gig: $46.99
256 mg: $29.49

subtot: $76.48

-$15 coupon (doh, forgot to use!)
-$20 maxtor rebate
-$15 staples pny rebate

grand total: $26.48 ! for ram + hdd


edit: yeah I got the $15 off when I returned!



MC deal may be dead, site no longer lists hdd.

 

[imported_Mike]

thanks for the deal

$17.23 tax included

woot woot

 

[sil0net]

MC in Fairfax, VA is OOS

 

[sil0net]

Best I can do now that it's OOS at MC:

+$89.99 @ OD
-11 (PM CompUSA 110% @ $79.99; product_code=296883)
-$25 ($25 off $75 OD Coupon)
-$20 (Maxtor Rebate)
=$34 APM AC AR

Minus implicit cost of time invested, the deal is tepid.

Edit: Language and CUSA url.

[Mallow]

Said it couldn't find it... guess the deal is dead :/

 

[Cybordolphin]

CheapArse The $10 off $50 is only available through a link online. Don't see how you could use it in store. There is no code#

 

[villagepeople]

Staples PriceMatched this for me.
I used a $10 Email Coupon (on $40 purchase). My final cost is $15+tax

Use $4 Aurora Calculator (Free After Rebate) and /or CDRs to make it $40.

i didnt use the $10 off, i used the $15 off online code. the store rep allowed me to use the online code becuase it had an instore code that she just typed in. doing a search of fw will find your $15 off $50 code. gl

Does anyone have a shot of the Microcenter page with the Maxtor 30Gb at 49.99? I need it for doing a BVG with Amex. I had it up a couple days ago, but forgot to save it. If you have it and will share, please PM me.
Thanks
