Went to OD to score one of the KDS monitors for 90 AR's and saw this deal posted on the shelf above it. They have the A90 on sale for 224.00. The break down is as follows:
224.00 Sale price
50.00 Office Depot MIR
50.00 ViewSonic MIR
20.00 (off 100.00 coupon)
104.00 net for a 19" monitor (YMMV) or 154.00 if only 1 rebate goes through
The OD coupon printed up at the register, so I would think this isn't just a local deal. The ViewSonic rebate form is available at Office Depot or print it out from the rebate center online. Both rebates expire 03/31/02. Check your mail or other resources for the coupon.
I bought this for my wife and she loves this monitor. So, if momma's happy everyone is happy!!! (at my house at least......lol)
UPDATE
After looking at my rebates this morning they were indeed to the same place (1st red flag) After work I went back to OD and talked to the gal at the return desk about the monitor purchase and my concerns about the 2 rebates. She said to send them in and they would be processed. I told her that would be fine but I would like a scan of the price tag (which stated 124.00 after 100.00 in rebates) signed by the manager, that way in the event the rebate didn't go through I would have proof of their deal and would return it along with the letter from the rebate center for credit from them directly. The gal calls the manager and i go through the thing with him again. We go over to the monitor section and the price tag on the shelf is gone. (2nd red flag) The manager says give him a minute to check his computer. He says he can't find the deal in the computer and before I can say anything he says I know the tag your talking about because I posted it. He said he would do a return and then re sold it to me at $174.00 and to go ahead and send in the 2 rebates, but admitted he wasn't sure if both would go through or not. I must say I was very impressed with the way he handled this and went the extra mile to ensure I got the advertised deal. I would suggest if possible to get a scan of the price tag and go for it. At the very least you'll get the A90 for 154.00 before taxes. I don't know if this was an Office Depot mistake on the rebates and it took the AT effect to make them realize it? When I repurchased the monitor only 1 rebate printed out.
One last note while the manager was in the price data base for this monitor I saw that the price will drop to 179.00 on 02/15/02. If this does happen do a PM and it will be pretty close to the original deal. Sorry for the long post but I just wanted pass along the information I had and what worked for me.
Good Luck!
