I bought an Asus a7v motherboard of $130 shipped, which is a good price. Expires 10/29coupons

It's telling me that the coupon code needs at least a minimum of $149

I just used it today and it worked for me.

NECX won't ship to CA, that's sux. I think it's a great deal, thanks anyway.

NECX won't ship some items to CA due to some kind of sales tax situation...I've never seen another vendor w/this problem (NECX doesn't collect CA sales tax, so items shipped from CA distribution centers aren't available in CA...it does make them kinda flakey...

I think they will ship to CA as long as they have a distributor outside CA for that product. The thing is, they refuse to charge sales tax outside MA state. At the same time, they also want to stay completely legit with sales tax code, so they won't ship an item to you from an in-state warehouse because they don't assess sales tax outside MA. I was told a long time ago they were going to fix this limitation, but apparently they are still helpless.

Most other etailers don't draw the line this sharp, and will ship to you tax-free as long as they don't physically have a retail presence in your state.

I did buy a Quantum 30 GB drive from them recently for $141 shipped to CA; it also is eligible for a $30 manufacturer's rebate (expired 9/30). This was a little more than the buy.com hot deal (at the time), but on the plus side I didn't have to play games w/ new account/email/CC just to get the discount.

Overall, I like NECX as a vendor because they have excellent product information. Unfortunately, they have slipped in the past year, while other etailers keep getting better (or folding).
