For anyone in NYC(Manhattan) that's interested in getting in on this deal, I got one of these 1:00 PM this afternoon at the Kip's Bay Plaza Store (30th St. & 2nd Avenue). They still had two left in stock at that time. I haven't opened it up yet, but the box says "Smart-Burn" technology. I don't know what the other two said, as they were in the back and I could not see them.
The Asst. Store Manager "PM'd" their web price down to $99.99 (their are none available in the regional warhouse for on-line orders and in-store pick-up price is higher), but would not accept a STAPLES 'in-store' coupon, saying that OD does NOT accept competitor coupons. So I took the unit and called Corporate when I got home.
The CSR that I spoke with apologized for the error, as they DO take competitor coupons. She issued a refund for the value of the STAPLES coupon back to my credit card and called the store to insure they follow Company Policy in the future. So, it should be O.K. for anyone else that wants to try it. My end result: $99.99 - $20.00 STAPLES coupon - $30.00 MIR = $49.99 + tax.
I cannot guarantee that they will again "PM" their web price but it is probably worth trying if you're in the area. As they say, YMWV. If so, remember to use the $30.00 rebate from the earlier posting in this thread or directly from PACIFIC's web site, since the Rebate Form you get with the register receipt is only for $20.00.
