I just called my local OD and they have one left, it was priced at $100. Do you think they will match price with their website for $65?
I would say that they probably will if you take a copy of the price printed off the web site. Did you print off a copy? Otherwise, they are just taking your word for it. If you have a copy and you end up dealing with the average OD CSR, you shouldn't have any problems. Some CSR's are being Aholes though unfortunately.
But are the UPC's all the same?
The packages of RAM should be identicle. The only thing that will be different is the sku number because that's a store to store thing. I did this with a Cendyne cd burner one time. I don't have a Staples within 100 miles of me, so I order online whenever I do a Staples deal and just hope for the best. One time I got a Aopen burner and wanted a Liteon, so I found a local Office Max that carried the Cendyne and had a Liteon in stock. I went in and did an even exchange, no questions asked.
I'd say if you want RAM with Infineon or Samsung chips, try and buy it from another store and return the RAM with the chips that you don't want. To the stores, it's all the same. As long as the package is unopened, they don't care.
Really? The best price I could find for PC2100 DDR 256MB is $54.00 plus shipping -- so $48 was a deal to me.
Let me rephrase what I said earlier.. It's hard paying $48 for a stick of RAM that cost me $30 or less just last fall. I don't really need the RAM right now, but when you get $17 back after rebates, that's tough to pass up. If I really needed RAM right now and was planning on spending $40 on it, I'd do the BB Crucial deal for around $40 after MIR and tax. I've done a couple of BB Crucial rebates and they are a sure thing in my book. This $17 after rebate isn't a sure thing.
All I was saying before is that I'm not going to be very happy if I end up spending $48 for a stick of DDR RAM when I was after getting $17 or at least breaking even after the rebate.
Basically what it boils down to is that if you really need RAM now and you're faced with spending $50 or so to get it, it's a pretty warm deal if you end up getting it for $48. If you don't need the RAM, not getting the rebate and paying $48 in the end is not so hot.
SUPER HOT UPDATE!!! Friday & Saturday ONLY additional 10% off everything in store!
This is a mute point now. Could someone tell me how they knew about the 10% off everything in the store on Friday and Saturday? I didn't see anything in the store indicating this. I didn't see any flyers. I'm wondering if it was a regional thing or something.
