Great! Thanks!

 

[pdo]

the question is what will I do with all these Cendyne drives Mystic?

 

[bignateyk]

staples is good with rebates arent they? I would rather spend a few extra $ and get the rebate back in a week or so than get it from office max and get the rebate 6 months later. How long does it usually take staples to do rebates?

 

[Skates1616]

My last few rebates came in three weeks time!

 

[slycat]

reposted ..last week. ..by YOU!

 

[HyperYagami]

Is there going to be a B&M-useable coupon then? I really don't want to buy this thing online 'cause you don't know which one (liteon/aopen/etc.) you'll be getting...

 

[bignateyk]

also, on staples rebates where it says under the requirements,
"register online or complete claim form", what does this mean?

Is this just fill out the rebate form? Do i need to do something online for them?

 

[aoLhaTer]

great! ill wait for this one
still havent got my staples rebate from the old deal like this but they say theyre sending it

 

[FPSguy]

Does anyone know -- from experience with Staples -- whether one can take advantage of this rebate if one purchased a Cendyne 32x drive with a rebate from Staples on the last go-round?

 

[SillyMan]

Thanks MysticMan1 good clear post
But this place is like quitting cigarettes you want one but you don't realy need it lol

 

[Danman]

Damn!!!!!!!!!! :Q

 

[YukisMyName]

During the sale week, what "free-after-rebate" items are there?

 

[akahai]

Thanks.....again......I am running out of computers to put those burners in......

 

[icantiwont]

MysticMan1 appears to have lots of friends here, so I don't want to thread crap. But one has to ask where is the $19.99 coming from? Yes, I can add! I don't think it's fair to state $19.99 in the title and then say "$10.01 item (hopefully a free after rebate item)." If you're taking into account that you're going to get something else free after rebate ok, otherwise, it's misleading. It's my understanding that if someone states AR, it's usually for that particular time and not some other item you have to seek out. That's my 2 cents. Nonetheless, good deal.

turn on your PM function in your AT profile..and for those ..

also, on staples rebates where it says under the requirements,
"register online or complete claim form", what does this mean?

Is this just fill out the rebate form? Do i need to do something online for them?

the sale starts next Sunday..so you cannot fill out a rebate form that is not even posted yet...

oh...thanx MysticMan1

 

[HyperYagami]

done.

 

[ScrapSilicon]

I dunno what that

My drive has the serial # ADA15C2224012917 and has a 2MB buffer, Any idea what it is?

is but over at Cendynes forum it does not bode well...might be a new BenQ candidate..

Did you read the part that said "There will be more information went I get it"??? It does take a lots imagination to think that during Staples 4th of July week sale that they would have a few free after rebate items available. I do know of one FAR item, but I'm waiting for more info before I post it. Remenber the sale dosen't start until next SUNDAY

BTY : There's nothing wrong with thread craping, regular bowel movements are very healthy.

IMO, it's not misleading at all.
The price of the CD-RW itself is going to be $19.99 AR.
The price of whatever else you buy will be the price of whatever else you buy.

If you can't find free after rebate deals, $10.01 isn't going to make or break you, esp. with a great deal on a burner
And with Staples huge selection of goods, surely you can find something useful.

BTW, the rebate for the last Cendyne deal came in extremely quick, under a month for sure

 

[GlenatUF]

Yo Yo YO...I just grabbed two of these 32x cendynes from OM for 30 AR....one is a lite on and ones is a mitsumi.....havent checked out either yet but i am probably going to keep the liteon for myself and overclock it to 48x....unless i can do that with the mitsumi and have mount rainier functionality....which i still dont know that much about anyway......alright..just wanted to let u know...

 

[MysticMan1]

It's probably that new one call OptoRite. If the model number is "CW3201" then that's what it is. You can find more info on it in my OfficeMax/CenDyne 32x thread. This dual CenDyne threads thing could get very confusing.

 

[LiLRiceBoi]

ScrapSilicon can you PM me w/ a B&M coupon?

Thanks for the hot deal Mystic
