[citizen12]

UPDATE: See details in my comment below on figuring out drives mnfg.

Hi all,
First attempt at a deal, so if I get this wrong, please let me know....

1) Staples has the 8x4x32 on sale for $149 AFTER $30 rebate Link to Staples
2) Price Match to Iomega's store for $149Link to Iomega's Offer
3) Add something to get you over $150 at staples, and apply $40 off $150 coupon.
4) Send in the rebate of $30 offered on the drive purchased at staples.

$149 pricematch to iomega
- 40 coupon
- 30 rebate
_$79 plus tax and shipping


Before I order though, want to make sure I have this is a good drive and that I have this right.

Hope you all are talkative on this one....

Good job, but I think everyone likes "After Rebate" put in the header.

 

[citizen12]

Is my logic right on the deal? I ask because I remember seeing somewhere the information that rebates at staples were part of the PM

sciensdiet: edited title, thanks.

Yes, people like your topic header, really tell people the *REAL* deal.
I don't like people post hotdeals here like saleman hardselling the product and do some market tricks like hidding the facts that adding manufactory's rebate as part of their company's special offers, lol.
Good job dude

Can you post a link or details, my link says $149 at Iomega.
Thanks much!

Staples applies whatever nextday shipping that other vendor that they are pricematching with charges.

OK I could use a little help here. I got the burner everything went smoothley. Now I was trying to identify the drive and can't find any indication anywhere of its type. How can I figure out who 'really' make the 8x4x32 drive?

Find the FCC ID number on your drive and Go here... That will tell you the TRUE maker of the drive.

by getting this from staples, you can use more than 1 coupon, so take advantage of this while you can.

P.S. I talked to CSR's and they said it IS allowed. Just make sure that the amount of the X in ($30 off X) doesnt exceed the amount of the product...in this product being $150. you can get an extra $10 off by using 2 $25 off coupons instead of 1 $40 off coupon.
