UGH, 10MB!! - Linksys Kit = RMI-D3082-LK (?) but includes two Linksys PCI NICs (LNEPCI2), 5 port hub (EW5HUB) and power supply, two 15 foot blue RJ45 cables, 1 program disk!

These were re-packed in white boxes but everything appeared with original seals and never opened or used! There are 5 ports and one of the ports functions as an Uplink port.

OD SKU = 160221.

Also got a re-packed Intel InBusiness 8-port 10MB hub for $4.88. OD SKU= 362762.

Flame me all you want!! - I'm happy! I don't share/transfer a lot of files between my 4 computers at home - and my DSL only gets 1.5 MB - so I could care less that it is 10MBs AND a HUB! If you havent't already tried it, e-smith running on a low power Pentium with 64MB (can use as low as 32MB) kicks butt as a DSL router!!

I hadn't been in this Depot for 4 weeks, thinking they had cleaned everything out - NOT!

All the packages had a sticker on it - with the $19.88 on the top part of the tag for the Linksys Network Kit - and then the word Clearance in RED BOLD letters in the center - and below that the price that I got - $9.88 - with the word NOW in red letters on the right side of the $9.88.

When I got to the register, they all rang up at the $19.88 - and then the clerk changed the price to the clearance price - I think the reason code was 2 or 22 - I'm not sure...

On the sales ticket, it reads "19.88-V" and then the line below, it reads "9.88" for each clearance item. Sorry, I don't have a place to put a scan on the web, even though I have a scanner.

Hope that helps. So I think it is probably a local thing - I didn't go to any other ODs to check it...

Here is the scan for the reciept for those who is interested.

Scan

I will take this down in two days or so.

This is a manager markdown as you can see the 19.88 added and taken away and then readded as 9.88. Sweet deal!

I can never find anything good under the clearance section in OD. I made so many trips to OD that I am sort of disgusted going there again. Monitors at 45, none in my ODs. Phone at 10, none in my ODs. 2Way Radio at 10, none in my ODs. Hubs at 10/20, none in my ODs. Arg!
