Not sure if CompUSA ever has anything great. It's almost as bad as egghead. A good deal every now and then it seems like. They say a red tag sale and nothing is on sale when you go in.

 

[jrichrds]

CompUSA used to have the biggest sales around, by far. But I haven't seen any big sale by them since March, I think.

Thanks

The quality of CompUSA's "sales" flyer has declined since they bought-out ComputerCity unit of Tandy Corporation some years back. When I was stationed at Whiteman AFB, I use to make almost weekly treks to either KCK (Kansas City) or St. Louis for the deals. I remember getting numerous items for free - sometimes even without rebate! - nearly every week ! ! ! !

As the industry continues to consolidate, the "deals" will only become more and more scarce....

The HP Laserjet 1000 selling for $249.97 is not a bad price at all, especially if you can get it at B&M. You might be able to find a slightly lower price online but the shipping charge will kill the deal.

This is not a particularly great printer but if you want the HP name, this is probably the least expensive brand new HP laser printer that you can get.

If you're considering this printer, then look for one of the 20% off links for Office Depot (should be one that's good until early November). This will knock $50 off the printer price - and you have the option of ordering from OD on-line and picking your order up at the store.

Like the others have said, CompUSA sales have gotten a little anemic which I'm sure is reflected in lower traffic through their stores on Sunday mornings.

Who knows what the free after rebate software is from the print ad?I dont see it listed online under software but heard there were some free apps etc...? thanks

PDF Version of ad

I didn't look at the html version of the ad, but the last page of the PDF version does have the following after rebates:

Samsonite Laptop Bag - $10
56K Modem - Free
Assorted Software - Free
HP Deskjet 640c - $29.97
PS 2 Dual Impact Controller - $4.99

Laptop Bag and the dual impact controller look like decent deals to me.

I appreciate the info Richard98 and allisolm,I didnt see that info in either of 2 comp threads I saw...

 

[DaHan]

Is that HP 640c printer good?

 

[Richard98]

<< Is that HP 640c printer good? >>



Wouldn't expect much for $30, but seems like a good deal for a basic color inkjet printer. Lowest price on pricewatch is $68 + shipping.

How about the Sony CDRs? Any good? A friend tells me that the Sony brand is the best for creating music CDs.

 

[Richard98]

Just looked at the Sunday paper & noticed that Page 5 of the ad shows:

"Free PC Memory Get 128MB with purchase of any advertised printer under $200 - $29.99 - $10 MMIR - $15 printer bundle MIR"

The 640C is not pictured on this page, but it is advertised. So it would seem to me that you could pick up the printer + 128 MB of Ram for $30 after MIRs.

Just looked at the Sunday paper & noticed that Page 5 of the ad shows....:

the man's got a point. but is it really worth fighting for. if you do speak only to the store manager or sales manager. and get it in writing!

Personally, I will be going for the $9 samsonite laptop case... need to use up a gift card.

MovieXone is available for free download at http://www.aist.com/products/MovieXone/MovieXone_content.html.

They've got free effects, tutorials, etc. and it says it does animation, titling and audio production.

 

[Coki]

Those are not SONY CD but the SKU 286827 comes up as Imation CD's.

yeah it's true. Too bad Tandy let CompUSA buy their Computer City stores. That was a bad decision. Computer City easily had the better prices and deals over CompUSA.

now there's no Tandy Corporation either! It's Radio Shack Corporation!
The good times are gone...
