Ah, the Deal of the year thread... the time of the year I get swear a lot because I missed out on some of the action because I wasn't
as clever or shrewd as my brethren...
Although I can't complain....... I have tons of Attache's, CDRs, couple scanners, couple printers, a Handspring Visor, free t-shirts, a bundle of 3-in-1 mini-tools, maglights,
a library of technical training books (thanks cUSA), a Sprint Wireless AirCard modem, and a box full of batteries I got from kmart pm'd to target and used instore coupon + manufacturer coupon ------ all sitting snug in da closet.. Thanks AT!
Looking around... I gotta say my Andara barebone system is still running strong. That free mini-fridge we all got, was that this year? ah well, it's still
keeping my beer cold. Thank you Staples, you will always bring a tear to my eye and a... umm.. woody.. everytime I think about all the fun we had together.
My Samsung 950p monitor for $160 (good deal at the time!), the 4 port Belkin KMV with 4 sets of nice cables $55 (initial PM then AMEX PM two months later when found cheaper).
Dell blows...
I'm also a fan of the Fuji finepix2600 camera I managed to get from 800.com for $105 (+ a $50 gc +$30 accessory kit + 64mb SmartMedia....) actually was able to get them to pricematch.. I know, wasn't easy.
TestDrives were the big booster this year.. I went out and shook some hands and 4-6 weeks later was ~$50 richer x 16.. adds up They get some advertising, I get
some good gifts, it's all good.
what else.. what else... Couldn't get in on the AMD promo since they didn't pass by here and I must have some serious bad luck in the contest
I don't really capitalize on Ebay although I guess I coulda. Most these deals are just splurges.. Gotta admit I'm envious when people mention how they get
two of some deals, one to pay for the other... Smart thinking... I oughta not be so lazy hehe
It's been a good year.. There've been better, but Imma happy boy. TestDrives get my nomination..
