First post, hope I did this right...
This is inspired by Kingofcomputer's post topic

Here goes:

$149.98 from Staples Item#464735

PM with DELL.com for $138.95 - $34.74 (25% off discount) to get to $104.21

Apply $25 off $100 coupon to make it $79.21

Plus tax it comes to: $83.98

After Staples MIR of $30 ... Final price of $53.96...

Hope this works for you guys.. don't know if this CD-RW is any good but the final price looked good to me... what you guys think?

Dunno if it will work, but tax is relative to your state. By the way...does the 25% discount apply to pricematching, or will they pricematch the ORIGINAL price only?

Ok... breathe deeply, this is the deal I've been waiting for...
Yes, and it's not OOS yet...
Excellent First Post yojoe!

 

[BrintonAA]

carson, how many CSRs did you try, if it was less than 6 try again

Thanks, BritonAA. I didn't get the PM until the third CSR over the phone. Is this drive any good?

PC World Review of Drive. This is recent and from the October 2001 Issue of PC World, more of a blurb than a review, but it gives you a general idea...

i tried 5 times, no luck. also they kept asking me why i had attempted to place so many orders today.

 

[BrintonAA]

Spacecowboy- Did you get the same CSR each time or what? Hmm...

hehe. they;`'re starting to track us and the multiple waste-the-CSR'S time thing. I hope they start to flag your accounts as be-tough-on-pricematches.

hehehe... Gawd I hate that. They always ask me for gobs of info before I ask for the PM. I wonder if the log it.

I read through a lot of the roundup, and found it to be terrible. Their "Best Buys" are the two most expensive models, just chock full of value at over $200. Also, the Lite-On is missing, makes me wonder why the TEAC was chosen instead
