Microcenter has D145 for $399.20. Staples has the same machine for $499.98 with an $80 gift check that will be available next week.
Buy it at Staples at $499.98, PM to Microcenter and use the $50 off $200 code. You will get it for $499.98 - $110.86 PM - $50 Coupon, or $339.12. Then send for HP $50 rebate and $80 GC at Staples. Your final cost is $209.12 plus tax.
Also, Staples is listing $50 MIR on the D145 next week and so does Microcenter. Both start at 2/2/03 so it looks like a new rebate. If it is indeed not the same MIR as HP has, it might be possible to get them both, pushing price on D145 down to $159.12.
Coupons found in usual places. You don't need to have Microcenter nearby to do this since Staples should PM the internet price, but it helps if you have one, so that you can avoid issues of shipping cost. Also, for the purpose of simplicity, I am counting GC as cash.
