WD 80g 7200rpm at Sams Club b&m

[ldone]

Posted price is $134.91 no signs mentioning a sale. This in retail box.
I think this is a good deal for a 80 gigger.

This is model: WD800BBRTL average seek time: 8.9ms 2mb buffer Ultra ATA/100

I got one of them and they had a "bunch" more in stock, Ontario Ohio store

7200 rpm... definitely worth it. thanks for the heads up.

 

[virtuamike]

Wow, that is a damn good price. Even after tax it's still cheaper than the $150 they want for it at outpost.com

here is the link

also when go to the page all i see is the 80 gigger for $179.98
what am i doing wrong?

 

[WileCoyote]

notice that the sam's club website still makes a reference to an old rebate. maybe they have not yet updated their website... ?



<< This product includes a manufacturer's mail-in rebate of $30 good at SAM'S CLUB October 1 through October 31, 2001. Note: Cannot be combined with any other rebate for this item. >>

Just general FYI:

When you see anything ending in a price of "91" (i.e. $12.91)... it means that it is a Sam's close-out/discontinuation/etc. item. Sam's generally sells these items BELOW cost. Don't get me wrong... the product is A-OK... I'm just saying --> whenever at sam's, LOOK FOR STUFF THAT ENDS IN "91". You'll always get a Hot Deal.

Edit: this is a B&M deal.. website price is higher

Another OT FYI: At Costco, the stuff that ends in "77" is usually below cost (heard it on the Clark Howard show). There's a plasma TV at my local Costco for $4999.77 that's been begging for me to buy it... but apparently the TV doesn't realize how poor I am...

About $35 a year I believe.

tue that, i still flodge though--so jaded
almost wish i had gotten that rad-5 now

 

[Richard98]

Shows up at $180 for me when I used the "click n pull"

 

[ldone]

Right, 180 online.

The good price is only in the store itself So this deal will only help only a small percentage of readers

 

[DannyLove]

this is better then the most recent 80 gig deal, (outpost for 150) but unfortunately I dont have a SAMS CLUB CARD, and I'm not willing to become a member just for that. <need to find someone with a sams club card>

danny~!

 

[audiophan]

can't wait till morning, gotta see this deal

whoo hoo, my sams club membership may finally pay off

 

[topdog]

thanks, i need one

 

[Bluzjamer]

I don't know how you guys get these prices. I go there and its $179.95...then you have a $30 MIR..final price $150.....plus add the tax for BM.

[ldone]

I don't want to discourage anyone but you might be right bluzjamer. That might be just a local clearance.
There were no $30 rebates at this store. That would be a much sweeter deal.

There's on thread here in Hot Deals regarding a coupon for a free One year membership for Sam's Club that is good nationwide. It's a go- I
signed up- with out any problem- two days ago, but it expires 11/30.
Information and coupons can be found here:

Hope this helps...

Pssst....Don't tell anyone, but... If you go into your local Sam's, or Costco to the membership counter and ask, you can usually get a free "1-day Trial" membership pass. This should allow you to shop for free for the hot deals. Don't know if this is policy nationwide, but I've forgotten my Costco/Sam's card at home before and used this little gimmick in several different stores here in Calif. (both northern and southern)

 

[nekote]

Oops - post deleted on account of stupidity! ;(

 

[bargainshopper]

if you get an 1-day pass, do you have to pay 5% more for your purchases?

 

[Nitemare]

Fair warning..the Sam's in Cary, NC did away with the one day passes. Had to buy a card last time I went there. Think they are 35 dollars for a year pass
