What's the best deal you have ever got on FS/T?

[michaels]

I just picked up a 200GB Maxtor HD for 35 shipped, not bad at all. I don't need it but for that cheap, why not?

I got a 30 gb Video ipod for 150 shipped several months ago and an Iriver H320 for 120 last year.(different board though)

One of my first trades was a 40GB u160 SCSI drive for $40 shipped w/warranty left on it. :thumbsup:

Unfortunately, I have been avoiding the FS/FT forums due to people not leaving heat for me, turned me totally off of the forum.

A year I got an Olympus 4 megapixel camera that was $499 for $99..the store was selling them for $199 and I told the Manager that I didnt want to pay that, he gave it to me for $99 ...opps I thought it was Hot Deals
It would then be a Logitech 866 remote for $100 then on the FS/T site

[daveymark]

too many to list. 24" Dell LCD for $425, Dual core notebook for $450, Xbox360 premium for $275, MX Revolution for $45, etc

I really don't look there for deals. It's like a CL with feedback...everyone wants MSRP if you're buying, and enough lowballs to drive you crazy if you're selling.

T42 with 2 more years of onsite warranty, SXGA+, Radeon 9600, Centrino 735, Fingerprint reader, etc for $600 on eBay.

Because storing any kind of data on a used harddrive is a crapshoot. Even if it's covered under warranty, which it may not be depending on where it was originally procured, it's still a hassle to make a claim.

Best of luck, and as others have said, FS/T is generally not a place to get deals, it's generally where those who did try to sell at MSRP while not paying ebay fees. That said, nothing against it, just nothing special about the pricing.
