Magellan GPS Blazer 12 for $9.90 + TAX at Staples B&M...

[Zim Hosein]

I just noticed that my local Staples B&M store has the Magellan GPS Blazer 12 for $9.90 + Tax. I don't have a SKU#, but the UPC is 763357101300. I found a link at epinions.com for this GPS. I hope this helps someone looking for a GPS

GADS! :Q

Thanks. Going to Staples this morning.

Cr@p, I have been wanting one of these, but don't want to shell out $80+ bucks for a low end unit. If somebody will buy one of these and send it to me, I will send him/her $20 for the cost and time.

Please?

Were there any left at this particular Midtown Manhattan location?

And dare I ask which midtown Manhattan Staples we're talking about?

 

[flythunderbird]

didn't see it on the Web site ... and no stores withing at least a two-hour drive.

looks like all staples B&M dont carry handheld GPS here in S. cali

 

[Dekaner]

Mind you that these are not very accurate (in perfect conditions, 50 ft - in real life, more like 100 ft).

This is because they only accept two decimal places at the end of the coordinates instead of three.

For example:

N 12° 34.567 W 012° 34.567 (WGS-84) [bogus coordinates] ends up being N 12° 34.56 W 012° 34.56 .

I have been to 3 different Staples in East TN and all of them say they were discontinued several months ago. If you find one it will be pure luck!

 

[samgoody69]

Does it ring up 9.90 or cashier has to adjust price to get 9.90?

 

[Zim Hosein]

Yes, it rings up at $9.90. As for any being left at this location, the answer would be no, there was only one in stock.

 

[ohhenry1]

Zim, thanks for posting the deal and all. Hopefully others will get in on it too.

But it would've been nice if you had mentioned upfront that there were no other units in stock.

I spent my lunch hour wandering around mid-town, visiting, four different Staples, to no avail.

Ah, well.

 

[Schmaty]

The South Orlando store clearenced them out 6 months ago @ $9.90.
Oh well:frown:

 

[Jumby]

In searching of such deals at Staples B&M today....
Mission objective failed for Magellan GPS.....HOWEVER,

Bought a Sony Clie PDA USB Cradle with Power Supply for $4 big bucks! (MSRP:$59 Ebay:~$12)

So I guess every staples are trying to CLEAR out something that make a STAPLE visit worth while....

Good Luck Fellows.

ohhenry, I should have posted "YMMV" that way I didn't end up misrepresenting this deal.

Yes, 51ST & Lexington was the location.

I was able to get the SKU number which is 390408. According to Staples, there are 45 units out there in stores as I post this. As for NYC area stores that have this item in stock, there are 3:

1 at Store#043 E Islip.
1 at Store #215 6TH & 22ND.
1 at Store #755 in Brooklyn.

I hope this helps

Zim, with your last post, you have acquitted yourself admirably!

I made it to the Staples on 6th and 22nd just as they opened, and I bought the last one they had in stock.

The manager was very surprised when it rang up at only $9.95. She was so surprised, that she had to share it with one of her employees: "Hey Robert! Do you know how much this thing sells for!?"

Priceless.

Thanks, Zim. It makes up for all that walking I did during lunch yesterday!
