YMMV: Staples B&M Clearance 80GB 5400RPM Maxtor $59.99

[ai42]

Was at a Staples in Richardson Texas (Coit Road location)

They had on clearanced the 80GB 5400RPM Maxtor drives to $59.99! Regular price was $119.99 I think I took that last one at this location.
Used my Staples rewards check to get it for around $43 after tax.

They had a couple of other stuffs like 40x Sony CDRW for $40. Open box printers and such.

yeah what ^he^ said

Well I looked at my reciept, apparently instead of using the "Clereance" option to reduce the price the guy used a "Price Override". So I think it would be pretty difficult to PM to that. Anyway I have a lack of a scanner so I can't really scan it.

If you can find these, buy 4, use the 50 off 200, and get 320GB(At the "you will never use this much" level) of quiet, low-performance storage for $190.

yes, you will never need more than 320 GB hard disk space just like when bill gates said that no one would never need more than 640KB memory

Dang, no luck at the STAPLES in Rolla, MO... definitely YMMV.

They're on clearance for $89 online. You might have luck PM's the online price with their store price.

They are on clearance but it totally depends on the store you visit... hence the YMMV.
