I ordered Gladiac GeForce 2 GTS 32MB DDR from staples for $143.90. (They don't allow me to use $40 of $150 coupon and I have to pay tax!). But I just realized this video card doesn't have tv-out that I care most in a video card. So I am wondering if the following will be a better choice for me. Thanks for your advice!

LEADTEK GEFORCE 2 GTS 32MB DDR w TV Retail AGP VIDEO CARD

The price from http://www.nutrend.com/orders/buyparts.html is $179 (including shipping).

hph, if you need tv-out, then you need it, and your choice is already made. The winfast is a very good card, and the deal you found is the best I've seen for it. However, I doubt you will ever find as good a deal on a quality geforce2 gts as the one you got from staples. It is the best video card deal I've ever seen (granted I haven't been on this forum that long, but still!).

hph,

I thought broadwayblue answered your question. You can add the video in/ video out module for $35. link

I just started reading this forum and am new to the whole rebate code thing. I keep seeing that you can't post sites, so can someone private msg me where and how I'm supoosed to get these deals? In particular I'm looking for the 40 off of 150 at C4S. If I get in on the Gladiac deal, that'll be my first. Thanks for any help

 

[HamtonP]

$40 off $150 is Staples coupon.
Go to www.bensbargains.net to get the coupon code.

They have the instructions there too on how to get the card.
Call up staples and ask them to price match their price to computers4sure.

Ok... i brought a item with the 30 bucks coupons... if i cancel the item can i reuse the coupon that been used on the item?

Cuz.. each coupon is can be only used once...

Thanks

 

[smartt]

oreoafk, you'll probably have to call in your order instructing the CSR that you wish to reuse the coupon and that you cancelled your previous order using the coupon

1-888-880-1030... just in case you need it!

What does the "bump" mean?

 

[MuuMuu]

bumping the thread to the top, so it remains visible to ppl just visiting the forums. You might also see TTT (to the top), which is the same thing...

Does Staples not follow its Stated Pricematch Policy. For those that don't want to click through and read it it says in part:


<< If Staples.com offers a rebate and after the rebate Staples.com?s price beats the competition, no price guarantee will be given. You will be getting a lower final cost by shopping at Staples.com. (For example, if Staples.com?s price is $89.99 before a $30.00 rebate, so you pay $59.99 after rebate and the competitor?s price is $84.99 without a rebate, there will be no price match.) >>



I have not pricematched with Staples before so I have no idea what they do or do not do. Just curious before I call them up and try to get a $100 printer pricematched that has a $50 rebate which makes it only $50 after rebate vs. $69.95 without rebate at Best Buy.

Is there any way to order something online at staples.com (coupons) then pick it up at a B&amp;M store?

Trying to use coupons but not pay shipping...

 

[TakedownCA]

I just came home from a 10day trip to find out that UPS attempted to deliver my Antec (I had ordered from Onvia) on three separate occasions. What do I have to do now to get my case? There's an 800# number on the delivery notification, but it's too late to call today and tomorrow is Sunday. If this has happened to anyone else, can you tell me what actions are usually necessary when this occurs.

[nippyjun]

Usually when you call them they will tell you where you can pick it up. Or you may be able to schedule a delivery. There is a remote chance that they sent it back to onvia. If that is the case, contact onvia. See where the case is right now by tracking it. If it still shows that it's nearby, then don't worry.
