An $89 Targus laptop bag at Office Depot for a penny.

It was marked at $9.99 (clearance) but rang up for $.01, so the guy asked me for a penny, I walked out with the bag.

Keep hearing about it but never asked, what was the big thing with ValueAmerica ?

 

[Lars]

Over $2000 worth of stuff from Staples for ~$40 with stackable coupons a while back

(too bad they cancelled all the remaining orders worth a lot more)

 

[Scootin159]

Ti4600 for $29 (remember the whole deal about that? yeah I got mine & $100 in gift cards from different ppl @ BB trying to get me to shut up = $29+tax).

-or-

A car that could easily resell for ~$8k (I've actually had SERIOUS offers for $7.5k before) for $2500 + ~20hrs labor (my own).

[ElFenix]

compaq p910 for $200
the reebok friends and family coupon for 50% off or something nutty like that.
if i'd have wanted to buy a car that day x-plan would have been the best, woulda been several grand under invoice

ValueAmerica was a website that gave points according to the user's opinion. The more "things" that you reviewed, which is nothing more than click on the Yes/No box, the more points you got, which was redeemable for discounts off goods. That's how I got several Dreamcasts for 1/2 off price the day they came out.

 

[BigSmooth]

Dell Dimension 8250... decently equipped P4 desktop for $160+shipping.

I used the Adidas 50% off coupon to buy several shoes at the outlets. With what I bought, I got enough shoes to rival Imelda Marcos!

I got in early with my dvd collection...800.com 1cent sale, outpost free overnight shipping, reel.com's various sales.
