what is the hottest deal you've found on the net??

[HiTek21]

Probably the hottest deal I found on the net was my Sony DVP-F5 portable DVD Player for $219, retailed for $600+

What's yours?

 

[amnesiac]

God..there should be a Hot Deals Hall of Fame..
Some memorable ones:
- Value America
- Dell shopping cart bug
- Bed, Bath, & Beyond 50% coupon
- Staples coupon abuse

 

[kranky]

Can't beat ValueAmerica. That is the standard by which all others will be measured. Who needed coupons when they gave you 50% off of low prices - without limitation - on any item?

I joined AT right as VA was hitting its stride. I didnt' have any cash around that time, so I couldn't take advantage of it. That's actually how i ended up here, was the deals.

The one that I did get in on was the $400 Best Buy/MSN deal. $400 instant rebate at best buy. That was the best. deal. ever.

All those stupid network cards I bought off Dell.com for like $2...now I've got a box full of NICs siting around in my closet...

I got a 27" flat screen Panasonic Tau a few months ago for $239 with AMEX BVG(RIP ). Retail price was $599 at CompUSA.

 

[Murpheeee]

I got my current and previous digital cameras online for around 70% off retail.....

 

[vegetation]

I would guess Value America or Accompany. I have a well worn Nikon 950 camera that can still be fleabayed for more than what I bought for it new at Accompany at that time. Big mistake when they changed their name to mobshop; everyone thought they were connected to the mob, LMAO.

My 22" monitor retailed for 900$ and I got it for 425$ shipped.

Here are the 2000 and 2001 DOTY (Deal Of The Year) nominations.

My favorite deal was getting $400 for FREE from OfficeDepot, courtesy of Bill Gates & MSN

Picked up a Brother HL-1240 laser printer for $0 and my friend bought a Palm Vx for $0 this was around January 2001 I think.

I'd have to go with the $.78 network cards at Dell.

Value America, carpet shampooer, DVD's, coffee table, appliances, too much to list
That rating site where you got points for each vote, I got like 20 DVD's for free from there and some shirts for free
buybidwin, countess free DVD's and small appliances
MSN $400, they gave me a free HT reciever with one day of a contract (back when I lived in CA)
Tower Records, many coupons for free DVD's
There were more like the pet threads and stuff too.

A few years ago the DVD deals were all over for free shipped or less then 5 delivered, but alas they ran dry and we killed quite a few sites.

Ah the gravy train days, those were the best days *wipes away tear*.

Back when Reel.com and 800.com were kings, RIP.

I have amassed a 300+ DVD collection (90% of them still shrink wrapped) thanks to DVDTalk.com and DVDPriceSearch.com

 

[SaltBoy]

I like the GeForce 4 TI4600 pre-order for $129 deal I found at BestBuy.com.

Unfortunately, it never went through...

Posting it on Hot Deals was awesome, though. The thread had close to 900 replies or something like that before the mods deleted it!

Even after spending all the time here with all the great deals, still nothing hotter than:

Free Porn. J/K




<-- Sorry, it had to be said.

Mine was similar - $400 credit at MicroCenter when you sign up for eTrade at whatever the cost was... my parents wanted to do eTrade then anyway.

The best thing about the FREE $400 MSN deal was CA/OR residents could sign up for 3 years of MSN and thanks to a loophole in the contract you could cancel your MSN membership with no penalties what-so-ever. After a few months and this deal gathered national attention they amended their agreement and closed this loophole.

Yeah.. how can you beat $400 worth of free merchandise?

 

[Fausto]

I got in on the Samsung 950p monitor deal a while back. $161 shipped to my door. Me likey.

 

[GTaudiophile]

About two yeas ago, I read that Office-Max was selling the Canon PowerShot S10 digicam for $250, which was like $200 cheaper than any e-tailer I'd found.

 

[Farbio]

i can't believe that no one has mentioned mercata when they mentioned value america! damn were those the good old days

 

[wyvrn]

Well, I don't hang around AT-HD too much anymore. But my best deal was my most recent, getting a Compaq 1500T laptop for nearly $400 off of retail through Costco. $90 off of Compaq's price for being a member, and $300 in instant and mail in rebates. Plus I got a free wireless card coupon in the box. $1244 for a PIV 1.5Ghz, 256MB, DVD, 15"TFT, 32MB ATI Radeon laptop with wireless access is a killer deal

 

[freebee]

Canon s100 for 199 at staples/office depot/office max error when it retailed for 499.

1000-1200 or so free in the 20 off 20 and 10 off 10 coupons at office depot and staples.
