I think it is very CLEAR that you first go to f@twallet, then look at that thread he talked about.

Oh...what's f@twallet by the way?

I didn't have time to put the whole deal up right then, now I have some time.

1) Call Staples at 1-800-333-3330 (Best chance of success)
2) Ask to order a special order item. Item# IM1900390
3) Tell them you would like to pricematch CompUSA's B&M price of "$99.99 after rebate and instant savings". Be prepared for conversation about policies and stuff, but work them till they give in. They mentioned that I needed to go into a B&M Staples b/c the deal through COMPUSA was B&M, but I retaliated (POLITELY) with the fact that I could not b/c of the fact that it was a Special Order item, and she said "Oh, your right, I didn't think of that, let me check to see if I can get it approved". 10 minutes later, it was approved! Here is the link to the COMPUSA product for reference:

PNY Ti 4200 @ CUSA

CUSA's $99 B&M price, at bottom of page

* The approved 110% price should be approx. $92.xx *

OK NOW......If you made it this far and are approved...continue...

4) Tell them that you would like to purchase two of these cards.
5) There is a 50 off 200 coupon, add approx $15-$16 worth of stuff to get you to the $200 barrier

That gives you 2 cards and some stuff for $155 plus tax.

Or if you only want one, use a 20 off 100 coupon, it will be about $72 plus tax.

EDIT: Oh yeah, there is also a 30 off 150 coupon so you don't have to add misc. stuff if you don't want, that's what I did.

Most of this copy/pasted from ndisgii's thread @FW, thanks again!

Well, PM'ing is always YMMV, but several have been successful. Don't do the eBay part, just get 1 for $72!!

Some other notes. Maybe try earlier or later in the day. The CSR asked me if it was a $30 rebate, I said no $40, which it is. So that may be helpful to remember. It's a $40 IR if you buy at CUSA, starting price of $139. Maybe make sure your coupon code is valid by testing it online first, so you don't get a big surprise when you call!

the deal looks good, even though it is actually a $30 MIR and then $40 IR at B&M.

BTW getting one or 2 is only $5 difference, so you do not need to buy 2 to get a good deal

Got one for $84 after taxes a few days ago (couldn't use the $20 coupon.) Too bad it's not the 128 meg version.

True, you can still get a good deal buying only one. But, if you have a friend or coworker that you can sell one to them for say $90, then you only pay about $65 for yours, and they still get a good deal. Or $100 if you don't know them that well! Two cards just gives you a little more leverage to get a little better deal, if you're in to that sort of thing... reselling.

I see alot of people posting that they are willing to buy one from somebody... but has anyone did the deal themselves yet? Besides me?

So not only do you have to have to get them to PM the price to CompUSA, you have to try to persuade them to use the 30 off 150 or 20 off 100? B&M deals are always so YMMV. ::sigh::

got it on first try...friggin took 45min on phone. Used 20 off 100 coupon.
i got the cdrs + 1 pny for $110...after rebate will
be $90 for card and 100cdrs.

I'm thinking of calling again to add another video card coz as it is it
ain't so hot. The csr did not let me get 2 off the bat coz he said Compusa
says 1 per household. I think i can call back tomorrow and add 1 extra one
with different csr and add the 50 off 200 coupon..which they say will not be a problem.

Sure, but they should PM other stores after rebate prices if the rebate is store specific without a problem. Example, If I go to BB and get a $100 video card with no rebates or anything, another store will gladly match that. Now, If the same item is $120 with a $20 IR, same final result. Another way to put it, the IR could be an on sale item in the weekly ad, same thing. I think you get my point. So really you're not making them "give in", rather making them understand and uphold their own policies.

And as far as pursuading them to PM and take a coupon, I agree this may not fly. But many ppl at FW have had success and my transaction probably took a whole 20-30 minutes, including setting up a new acct., idle chit-chat, etc.

took some work but got it..
2 4200s plus 100cdrs for $178.20
They said the cards will arrive next monday.
After $20 rebates on the cdrs, my grand total will be $158.20....
I figure after selling my cards...i would be out of pocket $25 for the one 4200 that i will keep for myself..hell of a deal.

definitely try guys...its a worthwhile effort. Csr said it will be local delivery between 8-5pm on March 3, Monday.
