A big thanks to whizbang for straightening this out:

Staples now has this online and in stores, Targus 56k Compact Flash Modem for $99.98 with a $50.00 rebate. Get it past $100.00 and use a $20.00 off $100.00 coupon floating around and get it for $30.00.

As a side note..Look at this little gem from Staples.

I know it is a missprint. I already tried to order it several times. But if someone can find a Staples that has one in stock😉


 
Staples "price match" system is down !! FU()$*## !!! :|

btw its 2:30 AM in Cali. System supposed to be up by 7:00 AM EST.
 
Dood, this is a repost. If you can wait until Craples opens today, it's for sale in their Sunday ad for $99.99, so you don't have to use a PM and you just need to find the printable $20 coupon to use in the store for final of $30. Settle down....
 
Actually, they just updated the price to $99 online, so get online with your coupon in hand...🙂
 
Dridecker, thanks a bunch.
I bought this 1/4, one day after the eligible rebate.
I kinda suspect Targus have rebate cos I see someone advertise it on ebay.
But can't find it on Targus website.
I did manage to Pm and use $20 coupon (they have Staples and Compusa next to each other here) for a total of $36 after rebate with tax.
A word of advice. print out CompUSA page where it says Targus for $99 and bring it to Staples.
Cos Compusa phone is really bad. They can't get through to confirm the price. The printout will help.
good luck.
 
Staples just updated their website with the updated Price...W000000000000000000000T !

$99.98 add something for a few cents and use $20 off $100
Send in Rebate: Rebate Linked

and NO...I will not settle down...NEVER !!! 😀
 
It's in stock for Seattle, but the price is a penny cheaper online (99.98), so i don't see why you'd need to pricematch this with comp usa...
 
I think the PC expansion card can not be found on B&M store.
I'm sure I've never seen one. Beside the item number has IM in front, usually that means they order it from somewhere else.
 
Bummer, couldn't find the $.01 MSN disks on their web site. Had to spend $.19 on paper clips. Oh well, they didn't even bother to send the 3 I ordered last time to enable a coupon, so I guess it doesn't matter. Besides, the paper clips will come in handy to keep my rebate papers organized.😉
 
Okay guys, help me out here. Is this usable only for Win CE and Pocket PC OS? Not good for Palm, Visor etc PDA's with Palm OS?
 
great deal, Dridecker. my iPAQ is going to love this modem...anyone know what the impact on battery time this thing is going to have?
 
The Staples website let me order the $.09 sleeve but then I got an email saying OOS 🙁
They also have the same item with a different number that shows up at the "real" price (~$150).
 
I think any item that starts with IM is cross shipped from Ingram Micro.

I tried ordering the 9 cent sleeve and got the OOS email too, but it wasn't quite like a normal Staples OOS email.

It did tell me to try back again in 3-5 business days....Yeah, like I'll get one.
 
Update on this:
They havent shipped yet, despite what the order status page on Staples says.
(at least mine hasn't)

Staples op. says that they are having a problem getting delivery from Targus... I'm supposed to get a call back in a day or two. We'll see.
They also have removed the link to the rebate from the product page.
 
update: Staples Kentucky warehouse called, there was a "system error" and NONE of the targus modems were shipped, but they were all marked as having shipped.
They are all being reordered, and will ship today.
 
OK watch your packing slips on this one. They are probably like mine, as she said they ALL were delayed and shipped later after they were reordered...

They changed the date of order on the packing slip to the day they shipped, the FIFTEENTH, too late for the rebate.
If yours says that, you need to call Staples and get your original order slip faxed to you to use for the rebate!
 
Thanks for the info buffalotoys. I ordered the modem and the order status on the Staples website said "Shipped 1/8" but I haven't received it. I also never got the "we shipped your order" email. I was wondering what was going on, called the Staples customer service line, and didn't get an answer but rather "we'll call you back within 48 hours" response. I should have just looked here, trust my fellow Anand-ers to know the real deal.

Props to you buffalotoys.
 
For the rebate...do you need the packing slip, or can you use the order status print out from the web site? The print out shows my original order date of 1/6/02.
