DEAD: Hurry! Crucial M4 128GB SSD....$129 again!!

Me too - first order was interrupted by a visitor so when the follow up was an out of stock apology I tried again in case the shopping cart software had got its knickers twisted. The second order got an ack email and I'm hoping it might come through. Twenty minutes later: Successfully charged...

Polk R50 (cherry): $69 + ship each at Frys.com

The Polk web site shows that both the M and R series are discontinued, so if you're like me and have been holding back on any of these Polk models, better move soon on one of these runout sales. Although the R50's don't seem to get much lower than this (thanks OP!), they're heavy mofos - this...

I couldn't get rid of the shipping from heartland, but eventually found it for $20.28 total shipped (that includes a usurious 8.95 shipping!) to MA at http://www.audio-discounters.com/ufm-100bl.html if anyone else really wants one. At least they claim to have it in stock. We shall see.

Koss In Ear Headphones- $8.88 no more, now $12.88 delivered from Amazon

Got mine today. Main first impression is that they're muddy and lacking in midrange. Better than the crap that usually comes with mp3 players at least.. Glad I got in before the price went up - they were worth it for $8 shipped I think, but not much more...will keep for emergencies.

I usually ignore extended warranties, but the *ist DL kit I got on the buydig deal last month woke up with a dead flash yesterday - after only light use over a couple of weeks. It's > 10 days so buydig won't accept it as a return and I'd cut the barcode which also means no buydig return...

Sprint Class Action Settlement, claim must be postmarked July 12th

I qualify for the top level payment but would have to sign up for 2 more years to get $15 - the court must be joking - 2 years retention is worth closer to $100 to Sprint (not me!). The terms are astounding, demonstrating once again that American justice is definitely the best justice money can buy.

Now that coupon seems to make this hot for me if you can get 160 GB for $20 - 0.125c/GB - if you can use the coupon (I don't see any exclusions!) and if the rebates (one seems to be BB and the other WD?) come in. I've never tried WD rebates but BB rebates seem ok in my limited experience.
