Rebate Damage So far..

[Dravic]

Curious as to how many people are using these big holiday rebates.

I'm trying to stay away from rebates myself... but i unknowingly walked into CompUSA?s 6hr sale Wednesday, and ended up with a bunch of wireless gear.

So far though only $218 in rebates, on $268 worth of purchases


UPDATE.. doh Make that $318 out of $567

lucked out and got the last $199( $299 - $70 instant - $30 MIR) PNY 6800 from Compusa ..

I think I've got about $130 or so in rebates. Got the DVD writer and 50-pack of DVD-Rs for $48 after rebates, but I spent about $180 at Office Max on those two things and 4 or 5 things that are FAR. Omax was terribly disorganized this morning, though... it took half an hour to find all the things and 2 1/2 more to check out. We didn't get out of the store until just after 10.

OUCH..


like a dumbass, i went to exchange a defective BFG Nvidia 6800OC at best buy this morning.. I wasn't even thinking about Black Friday. Since I was heaading to work, and its close by...

took ~45 mins to perform a 2 min exchange... ugh

Just glad they didnt make me wait in the emachine computer line.. had to be a couple hours long just to get to those counters.

Rebates are simple, just sent the ones worth over >$50 certified, and copy everything...

Rebates are great so long as they come otherwise you end up overpaying for something you could have bought from newegg.com
