Rio 500 64MB Gray for $119

[Argo]

They have those for $199 at buy.com. Use $30 coupon and $50 rebate to bring the final price to $119. Sorry, if this was already posted, but I couldn't resist a deal like that. I just got myself one of those, especially since my Rio 300 broke down.

Purple was $189 last week... But then again it was purple.

I had been waiting for this to come back in stock, but ended up finding an "Open Box" one at Best Buy for $179 before rebate.

If only I had waited a little longer...but, I've already cut the UPC off and sent in the rebate.

Of course, with shipping it'd probably only be a $5 difference (since I live in CA I'll get nailed for tax.)

I did get mine for my PMP300 after 8-9 weeks.

Use a different store. Check out shopper.com for more options.

Just make sure you keep a copy of your receipt, UPC code, and rebate submission. Rio denied I filled out the forms right (after I called them to find out where my rebate was 4 months later), so after faxes and phone calls, they finally sent me a check.

But I did get the rebate.

Gosh..I just hate rebates...I never want to buy anything in rebate....no patience..=P is that a good MP3 playa? I got my NOMAD2..=)

It's pretty cool, however, it doesn't have radio tuner like nomad II.

 

[Argo]

Damn, RIO500 at buy.com is out of stock. Dang!!! I'm gonna sue buy.com, cuz when I put my order in, they claimed it was in stock.

 

[Argo]

Btw, does anyone know what the difference is between Nomand II and Nomad II MG? They both are the same price, however, Nomand II MG appears to have a lot more features. Any hidden drawbacks I should be aware of?

Diamond is slow on rebates, but I always did get it. (several products)

Says it's in stock. There has to be away to deal with tax in CA. Kills sooo many deals. Ideas anyone?

 

[Argo]

When you search for it, it says in stock. But if you click on the item, it'll say back order. Buy.com representative confirmed that
