Seems like an OK deal since there's a $15 rebate from Linksys.
Model# FESWSK5
Staples price $117.99
Buy.com price $81.95
the math
$81.95 + $12 (2nd day shipping)= $93.95
use $25 coupon = $93.95-$25 = $68.95 plus tax
there's a $15 rebate.....so that should bring the total to around $62.20 (8.25% tax)
If you are aware of 2nd day s/h charge to be added, then wait till this monday when Buy.com has free shipping...so that 2nd day shipping is lower (not so sure if 2nd day shipping during Free shipping period is lower than usual)
Or if you are a good fighter, then PM with Onvia ($79.95 w/free shipping) sometime they give up to add shipping to the price when PM with Onvia.
Not a bad price for a 5 port switch and 2 Etherfast 10/100 NIC
