Did the Intel Learning for the $15 CDNow gift certification along time ago, can't even remember when. Today I got two $15 cdnow gift certificates in my email.

Was at Staples returning something this evening. After completing my transaction I showed the cashier a 10 off 40 coupon
that I had printed out and asked if it is good. She asked me where I got it and I immediately said that it was emailed to me.
She said that she would accept it. I was surprised since it was a lousy reproduction.

ordered a maxtor 40gb 7200 hd from office depot.com, but after receiving it, changed my mind, so i called office depot and returned it. but office depot never came to pick it up. after about a month of calling to tell them to pick it up, a rep told me that their system showed that the hd was already picked up and my credit card was issued a refund. so i got my refund, and still had the hd! anyways, i then brought the hd to best buy and got a store credit which i used towards a set of z-560s. :|

I just left the local BestBuy where I thought I found a 'hot deal'. They had a Philips 15" LCD marked down from $479 to $129 as an open box with damage. I asked what the damage was and the clerk asked another clerk and the other said that they could not sell the monitor because it was defective. The he claimed that it had been repaired 3 times and was going back to the manufacturer. He said that he would not sell me a defective unit. I said let's see if it is defective. So they connected it up and it worked just fine but he still would not sell it. I spoke to the sales manager and he reinforced the no sale position. They offered to sell me any other monitor for 15% off.

The 'open box tag' indicated that the unit was damaged. I had accepted that and even suggested that they mark the reciept 'no returns'. Something doesn't seem right here. The tag had the correct original price, item number, reason for mark down, etc. I guess the only recourse I have is not to buy anything at that store again.
