Crazy AT'ers.

Surely, you jest.

My girlfriend wishes for a Civic anyhow, and I'm very happy with my VW GTI.

(My VW was another Hot Deal for me this year, although that was more of a Make-your-own-deal, as all of us car owners know...)

 

[ChoppedBroccoli]

Here are mine:
1) Logitech Dual Optical Mouse at Staples - $10
2) Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 Speaker System at SamGoody/BestBuy - $90/$80
3) Vorndao Fan @ overstock - $30 (this thing has been essential in college)

Dell w/LCD gets my vote

I think RossMAN needs a ferengi icon now...

 

[YoCheeseHead]

200 free value dollars. Either that or anything on Mercata.

I don't believe either of those deals occured this year (2002) those were more 1999 - 2001 but definitely VERY hot deals just not this year.

 

[Yobbo]

I missed that damn under $100 dell deal by a couple of hours...I was so pissed at myself, I'm a student and all

Anyway, I missed quite a few this year because school dominated my time...but I did get a chance to get a few CDRW drives and DVD-rom drives for free/close to free

And of course the free APS UPC!

 

[localfinesse]

I liked the sears cdr deal. I got 1200 cds for free with no rebate.

 

[carmann]

Thanks for the kind words MrPhelps

Reading through this thread reminds me of how many deals I let slip by. I will say the HP D135 that will be free for me was one I wasn't about to pass up.

 

[Tokar]

can someone fill me in on this Dell 4550+LCD deal?

Just want to know what all the hub-bub is about.

 

[carmann]

Tokar, read about it here.

 

[Su1c1da1]

Western Digital 120GB 2MB for 249 + Tax = 270 - 100BVG = 170 - 120Rebate = 50 - 50(BB lowered $ to 199) = FREEEEEEEEEEEEEE

 

[Parn]

I vote for 120GB WD SE 8MB Cache retail drive for $70 after rebate.

How they honored the rebate for ppl who ordered OEM and retail making things right was very respectable.

 

[Qwest]

i'm goin to have to say the Logitech Z-560 from Staples for $90 back in august.

 

[mudboy]

Western Digital 1200JB for $27:

$149 MicroCenter ad
CompUSA Pricematch (which for some reason they pricematched to $119)
$100 CompUSA MIR (which I did receive without any problem)

I was one very happy geek that day.

[thecollectivewi]

Well my vote goes for the HP ZE1210 for $479 after coupon/rebates at Staples since it was the deal I got in on

 

[Jabronie]

Combo 2-in11 deal from the same place:

Dell 4550 with LCD bundled with the 120 Gig 8mb hdd a week or so later......

 

[gothaggis]

the $50 off Delphi XM Radio Receiver
$50 off XM Home Kit
$50 off XM Car Kit
$60 rebate on Delphi XM Radio Receiver
first month free and free activation code

excellent deal

$270 of equipment for $60

 

[Budmantom]

Hp1210 laptop for $550.

 

[Rhodent]

I vote for the HP D135 all in ones for 90 dollars after 200 off 30 off 150 and 80 gift card.

Also like to mention the 150 CDR's from BB on Black friday. They claimed to not be printing the rebate forms that day so they were giving them for free. But my rebate forms printer fine I sent them off. Would be cool to get 300 disks free and make 26 bucks.

 

[Pepsei]

it's gotta be the free $75 for ford!

 

[SixSky]

I vote for the

QUE! USB2.0 EXT Hard Drvie 80G-----------------$99 no rebate no pm

Any other recommendations?

Your vote is only in my 2nd place if I am sure all the rebates are valid for the Dell 8250 2.4Ghz system from Dell EEP program. It cost only $70 + tax + shipping after rebates!

Dell 4550 with 15" LCD is a nice one since there is no rebate hassle. I got into this deal too.

Another possible Deal of the Year is Dell's WD 120G HDD. I paid $170 for the HDD and Dell credited me back $100 for their misadvertisement, submitted the $100 rebate and got approved. I make $30 and keep the WD 8mb buffer, 7,200 rpm HDD.

Now Dell is the top merchants on my list. Gotta love you Dell!

 

[bleckywelcky]

I nominate any of these and would probably put my vote towards the Dimension 8250 deal.

I got:

From Staples: Get paid $20 to buy the CenDyne 32x12x40 CDRW (rebate has been validated and should arrive in the mail in the next couple days).
From Dell: Dimension 8250 for $130 after tax/shipping/MIRs (yes rebates have not been validated yet, but they will go through).
From Best Buy: Logitech z340s for $4 (rebates have been in the bank for a while now).
From Office Depot: 10,000 sheets of general office paper for $25 (not super hot, but nice nonetheless for a no rebates deal).

I didn't get:

From Dell: Dell UltraSharp 2000FP for something around $800 (or possibly lower, plus no rebates on that deal).
From Staples: $20 off $20 coupon (lmao, this one was hilarious).
From CircuitCity: PNY 256MB PC2700 for $6 (some variations on this deal might still be possible though, two rebates - a $10 and a $20).

Some of these might have been FW only, but I think most of them trickled on over if they weren't started here in the first place (I think the z340s, 2000FP, and maybe the 10,000 sheets of paper may have started here??). I read AT/FW back and forth and never really distinguish between the two when trying to put a deal together.

[render]

vote for free Logitech cordless mouse/keyboard set.
I won on a second attempt. That's too easy.

 

[ronniejay]

I vote for Simpson Homer j.'s Maxtor 80 GB 7200 HD $22.49 AR & PM @ Staples , which had 33 pages of responses. I got it for $5.14 ( really just state tax, after 3 $30 rebates, coupon, and free shipping!)
