Poll: Quantum 30gb 7200rpm HDD + 100 12x TDK CDRs for <$100 (after $30 coupon, $30 HDD rebate, and $20 CDR rebate)

[crapito]

edit: Buy.com has raised the price to $137.95, making a hot deal a little cooler...

this Quantum HDD deal has been floating around before, but since it seems that Buy.com has lowered the price today to $127.95, a warm deal has become pretty damn hot! Add in the CDRS with the soon-to-expire $30 of $150 coupon and the two rebates ($30 Quantum and $20 TDK rebate) and this is a flaming hot deal!

Quantum 30.0GB EIDE ULTRA-ATA/66 3.5LP 7200RPM 2MB FIREBALL PLUS LM
and
100 TDK 12x 74min/650mb blank CDRs

general deal walkthru from Bensbargains.com, with my addon...

here's the deal:

1. $127.95 for the Quantum LM 30gb drive at Buy.com [$137.95 now, 12/14/00]
2. $39.99 for the 100 TDK 12x CDR spindle from Buy.com
3. -$30 off 150 coupon, exp 12/15/00 from Buy.com -> new expiration date
4. -$30 rebate, exp 12/31 from Quantum
5. -$20 rebate, exp 12/31 from TDK
6. free shipping!
7. use Ebates.com for %2 cash back ($2.76)
8. $.66 for 2 US stamps for the rebates

= ~$85.84 net -> now ~96 net due to HDD price increase

not bad for 30gb 7200rpm drive and 100 12x cdrs, eh? btw, I have one of these drives already and it rocks, though it is noisy. my previous Quantum rebate came through without a hassle as well.

edit: sorry about forgetting to put the price in the title (it's been added). sorry also for the missing TDK link; I fux0red the html code, so that's why it didn't show up initially. too much multitasking for me tonight...

I don't understand your math.
127.95
-30 coupon
-30 rebate
-20 rebate
- 2.76 ebates
+ .66 stamps
-------
$45.85

edit: Oh I get it. The CD-R's are $39.99. sorry.
Good deal, BTW.

You should put the final price in your thread title.

u start at $150, not $127, cos u're using the $150 ... then take away $80 in coupons/rebates.

Thanks for the deal Crapito, I've posted it on BB.

 

[crapito]

nice, Unsickle. I just checked your site and found a nice surprise.

btw, why &quot;Unsickle&quot; as opposed to &quot;Ben&quot;? or, why not &quot;Unsickle's Bargains&quot;? just curious...

 

[Unsickle]

I'm not big on advertising... I just wanna be one of the guys.

Besides, I had this handle before starting BB.

HEY THIS IS GREAT BUT.... Can i do this and get 2 rebates? i need raid-0

 

[2Crucial]

Did buy.com just change it from 127.95 to 137.95??

 

[crapito]

TimidOCer: according to Quantum's rebate: &quot;Offer limited to 5 units per capacity.&quot; apparently, you can buy up to 5 drives, not just 2.

yep, the drive is now $137.95 at Buy.com. oh well, it's still a good deal, just not so flaming hot...

 

[crapito]

new $30 off $150 that works! *for new customers only... expires 12/31/00.

got it from Techbargains.com
