Ordered this on staples yesterday. Used a 20 off 100 coupon. Was the easiest pricematch ever! The CSR herself said "Pricematch CompUSA?" .

Final price $103 shipped.

So the Staples PM is no rebate? $102 delivered, no rebate for 160gb, I do not need this, but I am having trouble passing this up. I already have about 450gig on my rig already. Video takes lots of space.

Thanks labgeek!!!

I already had used the $20 off coupon...so I had to use the dinky $10 off coupon.

$112.34 shipped from Staples.com, lol that is insane. No probs at all...CSR just put me on hold for about 2 minutes while verifying the price on CompUSA's site.

Someone edit that title - this is HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Nebby]

WOW! just got off the phone, $102.35 shipped! this is HOTNESS!!! even better than my dell 120gig WD SE drives!

 

[hamburglar]

how did you guys get the cheaper staples rate? I don't get what you have to do. Is that price after rebate?

 

[jkiny]

Cool....thanks...i hope it still works

HOW-TO
Maxtor 160GB 8MB cache 7200RPM Hard Drive for $102

CompUSA - $129.99 after MIR

Staples.com $249.99

Find a coupon at your favorite source of choice (or google for it).

Call Staples at 1-800-3STAPLE and buy the drive, tell them you want to price match to CompUSA. They put me on hold for 2 minutes to verify, then they allowed it. They pricematch 110%, so you get it even cheaper AND they will match the rebate - so no waiting for your $$$! If you haven't used the $20 off coupon, you can get the drive for $102 and change shipped incl. tax. If you have, you can use the $10 off and get it for $112 shipped incl. tax (what I did).

EDIT: You MAY also get it for $107...that is if they notice that CompUSA charges $5 for shipping...then they tack that on. Whether you get this for $122 (no coupon), $117 ($10 coupon, $5 ship) $112 ($10 coupon), $107 ($20 coupon, $5 ship), or $102 ($20 coupon) it is INSANELY hot!

Price is about 70 cents per GB or less!!!

Did this over the phone.

Damnable hot deals. Making me spend $100 I shouldn't.

Now in order to use this big hulking drive with my laptop I'll have to buy an enclosure and usb2 pc card for another $70-$80.

Damnable hot deals I say. Damnable.

This is a 1 year drive warranty right? TIA
(Thanks Sketch/Nebby for the how-to)

mention their item number, which is 504516; then tell them you'd like to pricematch compusa. from the staples site: "Warranty One year "

 

[hamburglar]

oh no, I just called them and they said they have to call me back withint 24 hours because the pricematch is too great. should I call back and try again?

 

[wirejockey]

Whare do you get the $20 coupon? I can't seem to find it!

 

[sat4fun]

I finally beat all of you guys, I got mine for $95.25 shipped, tax included. You guys are not looking hard enough, there is a $30 coupon out there. Like they say, it was a snap. I ordered mine online with the $30 off, then called for the PM.

Thanks

 

[sk3tch]

Nice work...didn't even think to order online first with the $30 off $150 coupon and THEN pricematch...only prob is it seems that the CSRs are getting "wise" to the deal and some people are denying the pricematch because of the difference in price...ah well - just keep calling and calling, you will get it!

 

[Nebby]

oops....forgot that you could use the 30 off 150 oh well, 102 is still pretty darn good

 

[Ranulf]

Just called them up and got it at 102 shipped.

 

[adsouthpaw]

Woohoo!! Got mine for $91.95 shipped after tax! Ordered online first with my Amex, then called for the pricematch. CSR put me on hold for over 5 minutes and just when I thought she was going to deny me, she said "Wow, this is a great deal, I've applied the amount back to your credit card!" I said "Thank you very much!" Is my math right, $0.57/GB?

 

[wirejockey]

I repeat, which coupon did you use?

 

[RobCur]

NICE!!!

 

[abaez]

I'm on the line with staples live csr... please please give this to me..

Darlene: Your total after the price match and coupon were deducted but including tax and free delivery is: $102.83.
