Cendyne 4x DVD-R/RW (Rebadged Pioneer) for Around $200

[Hessakia]

Microcenter has the drive for 229, price match at Staples which sells it for 299.99

so $299.99-$229.00 is $70.99. Staples has 110% Pricematching policy. So $70.99 *1.1= $78.09

$299.99-$78.09= $221.90

This drive also has a $30 Dollar Rebate Valid at Microcenter only. Some Staples Managers will include this in the Price Match, which would drop your drive to under $200 dollars. Also some managers allow you to use Coupons, further lowering your price.

Either way, you could also order from Microcenter and get it for just a tad under $200, depending on how long you want to wait for your drive.

Hess.

you can use $50 off $200 coupon or a $30 off $150 coupon on the drive to get it even cheaper, $220-$50=$170 $220-$30=$190

Staples enacted a new pricematching policy effective 1/1/2003, I think there is no "PM + Coupons" thing anymore. You probably stand a better chance of trying to see if Microcenter would honor Staples' coupon. :|:Q:frown:

I just picked one up a few days ago for about $200 from Microcenter. It may not be a HOT deal, but it was pretty good for me. For an extra 10 bux off I don't even think its worth going through all that hassle.

Looks like Microcenter is OOS. Good deal otherwise.

there were several of these at the houston store this past weekend. decent deal.

microcenter has backordered the drives ordered at 229, and given the drives a new item number and raised the price to 264.20 (and shows item available)

lets hope they aren't yanking us along.

The original post was for the <FONT face=Arial size=1>Internal 4x DVD-R/RW Drive (Model # CDI CD 00209). When I looked at Microcenter just now, the $263.20 drive is model #CDI CD 00125 (still a 4x -R/RW burner, though no rebate). I did a part # search, and can't find the 00209 drive there. I'm not that familiar w/ CenDyne models to know what the difference is.</FONT>

it definitely looks shady, ive emailed them and will call on monday to find out.

Still a deal at OfficeMax. (No PM needed)

Officemax has it at my local B&M for $269.99 (now pay attention kiddies)

There are 2 model drives with the same SKU. ONline shows SKU# 20146496 for model #CDICD00106 which is the 2x A04 model. I have the pull tag from my B&M. Same SKU number, but with model #CDICD00209, which is the A05 4x model. If you look at the Cendyne rebate, there is a $50 rebate for _BOTH_ models.

So its $269 - $50 for $219.99. This is for the 4x model A05.

Tell them to look at store #453 in Calif if they have another price.


Here is a scan of the Pull Tab

FWIW, Cendyne rebates worked good for me so far.

Staples has for $249, $199 after $50 rebate. You know where to find Staples coupons which can lower your cost to $150 AR.

That's what I did. My total came to $200.88 + tax. Less $50 mir for burner & $10 mir for cd's.

nice

 

[AMDBOY]

Roger that. A nice deal indeed. However this item(s) have been covered in this thread link already and can be bought for about $129-$139 at Office Max. In addition to the $50 MIR, you can search and find OM coupons for $40 -$50 off $200. Makes a sweet deal. (until the new SONY COMBO drives that are now available get ridiculously low. link =(Sony DRU-500A DVD Burner @ Outpost.com $299).It is both DVD-R, and DVD+R , too cool.
