Office Depot has the Konica Minolta® Magicolor 2300W for $349 after rebate, just stumbled on the deal on another site. I live in a bedroom community to Dallas, so even though the price was really good after rebate, I can usually find the deals a few days after the sales circular gets distributed. I call the closest OD, they're out of stock, but tell me there's one in a town 15 miles further away, I call them & confirm, drive there & find out it's a display (perfect condition), they offer to take 10% off because it's a display, but I know the rebate is invalid if the printer sells for <$495, so I get them to give me a $50 GC instead of the price break.
Now the sweetest part, Staples has it on special sale next week for $299, time for a BVG from American Express.
The math:
$499
-$50 GC
-$150 rebate
-$200 BVG from American Express
=$99 (& tax on $499)
Plus my HP LaserJet 1000 & Canon i860 both get sold on eBay.
