Best Hot Deal Ever?

[GermyBoy]

What is your best hot deal?

I'd have to say some of the best so far have been the WD 120GB SE drive for $77 AR from Dell, as well as the Wireless MS router from staples for $25 AR.

What are your best deals?

OpenBSD 3.2 free.

[aphex]

Free Wireless Router

My roomates got in on those dell systems for $79 AR

 

[dabuddha]

my most recent one would be the Maxtor 120 gig 8meg cache hdds for ~$90 a month or two ago.

My best Hot Deal was a Speedstream Wireless DSL/Cable Router w/ Printer Server from OD for 37.00 A/R. Which after I installed it I sold my old Linksys Router for $30 to a friend, which is the price I paid for it. Net cost 7.00 to add wireless and print server to my home network.

Yep!

19" Hitachi SuperScan 753 CRT about forever ago for $140 (retailed at $650 or so)...I want to say 1999. Buy.com thing. Tons of orders only a % got them; the rest were involved in a class-action lawsuit.

Ah, those were the days. Love the monitor

[boomer6447]

I have many to list:

2000:
1.70 for Imation 100 pack spindles at OD (price match to staples)
Staples coupons fiasco
HP Digital Camera misprint at Office Max PM to staples or OD and get 300 dollar cameras for like 80 bucks.


2001: Can't remember anything (too old)

80gb WD 8mb cache for 40 bucks no MIR just PM at CC

Yep; got one

That pop deal that was mentioned was quite cool too, as I live in MI (10 cent dep) it did come out to about $4 in the end for 17 cases.

 

[Alternex]

I really liked it when Staples had $20 off $20 coupons. I had about 20 orders and 14 of them came through for lots of useful school supplies thats lasted all through college!
Value America in general was also pretty cool

My personal best was the 27" Panasonic Tau closeout at best buy. They had marked them down to $239.50 but they had completely sold out before the price change, so my good ole AMEX BVG was put to use at Circuit City. I got a $550 TV for $239
