Y settle for an 8x when you can get the 16x/10x/40x yamaha for $27.50 or less (after MIR & coupon) at Staples B&M

Another thing I forget to mention is that I don't think there is any quantity limit on the rebate. I called the customer service at the rebate center and they say that if the rebate form didn't indicate it than is no limit. ;)

Stand in line Tran...I would send money off in a heartbeat for these.


The time limit is right on the rebate fine print...you have at least until the end of the year. It has to have the proof of purchase flap..meaning boxed version, and can only be purchased in the US :(






ARGH!!!!!! I am never coming to Hot Deals again.

Hmm...I really need some good pens too and cant find any decent staples rebates. Dang it. :) Would be sweet to get some free pens and use just the $20 off coupon. :)

Now all i need is a really decent hard drive. Can't wait till they have a rebate-a-thon on one of those. :D

I went to 2 different staples B&M stores in the N. New Jersey area and didnt have any 16X for sale only the 20X so i decided to buy it from Amazon for about $100.

There is no sku#? That's going to make it really hard to find. I checked one local staples and I'm on hold at a second one. Anyone know of a NYC-based Staples with these available?

Just picked up the last two of these suckers at the Newton, MA staples.

Using the $30 staples coupon, I'm looking at 2 burners for under $50 after yamaha rebate. BTW, Does anyone know if there is a quantity limit on the yamaha rebate??

Hokked up the burnr last night...it absolutely flies. Burnt a 700 MB CD in <5 minutes first try...

Ahhh! I just called about 8 staples in nyc. They say they don't carry Yamaha cdrws anymore. They also said that it's been on clearance for a long time.

You guys are hammering the phones on the Staples located near City Hall (NYC)! It's been busy for 10 mins! It's quite a walk from where I'm at so I need to know if they have it in stock so I don't waste my lunch hour. Has anyone called there? (NYC)

Thanks for the heads up! I purchased the drive on 6/30/01 for $137.50, and Staples told me they would refund the $50.00. I ended up getting the drive and a pack of 50 fuji cdr's for $35.02. That is a RED HOT deal!

I'm pretty sure others are willing to help, but if anybody needs help finding the rebate, PM me and I will e-mail it to you.

I need 3 of these drives!!!

Ok, wish me luck. Going blindly into the fray during lunch. :) Can only hit one on this side of pittsburgh. Tried calling, but they kept me on hold. Sigh.

Is there a reason why the yamaha drives are being blown out like that. Makes no sense. Other 16X writers are still going above $100 easy like Plextors. Are there problems with this drive? Makes me wonder...
