WD120BB 120gb 7200rpm possibly $50 AR/PM?

[KLineD]

Ok, another Outpost dealio.
linky
$280 has a $120 rebate (rebate linky)
PM to
l-buy
which has it for $160 so you get 280 - 120 - 120 = $40 + tax?
I'm just hesitating cause i don't know how quick these rebates come (got into the 80gb deal a month ago)..some1 tell me if these do come and if so...this is hot.

Also...I'm not sure if the PM would work cause the site says OEM..however the Outpost receipt doesnt show oem or retail (atleast the 80gb one didnt) so....what it said was "WD Caviar 80gb 7200rpm int ide hard drive $199.95"
and i pricematched to house of computers that said "80GB 7200 WD Caviar EIDE HD 800BB" that had it for $104...in the details it <DID> say OEM...but my pricematch came in today so it looks fine to PM.....

Go ahead, flame.

if no go..can PM to here and they dont say anything about oem or retail.

reatil != oem
i think thats a no go

The outpost link does say it is retail. Look at the item title. PM will most likely not work.

how come all these stupid people are posting dumb deals PMing Retail to OEM products? this is clearly fraud and i've seen like three or four posts on it the past day just on WD hard drives.

get a clue...if it works for you fine but don't go around asking about it or posting it.

From what i hear from AMEX reps, they do NOT care. as long as its the same item, whether oem or retail does not matter to them. I specifically asked one rep and got that response.

Also, remember that Blue's pricematching no longer exists. So if you're talking AMEX you must mean one of the other cards that has it...

why don't you shut up and stop hassling people unless you can come up with something better? i am very appreciative of any good deal that is posted, they are so few and far between these days.

Artist9: Amen!

But the point is that no one has "come up" with ANYTHING here. It's just a hypothetical "deal," that seems to have a very, very low probability of actually going through.

MontyBurns: That won't stop people from believing it or holding to it with their very lives. Look at the theory of evolution.

Yeah, I called outpost.com to check what their PM policy is..."[Outpost.com] has none." Repeating what other ppl have said before, PLEASE check to make sure u can PM a store before you post. It will make us all one smile happier. Thanks.:disgust:
