Might be dead for 20% - ATI Pre-Order X800XL PCI-Express 256 MB at ShopAti $299 less 20%

[PresslufthammerBernd]

I believe the X800 Cancellation code means that ATI cancelled their X800 NP card, and is now offering 20% off. Why wouldn't it be valid?

Of course, I realize they have reserved the right to not sell stuff to us, but really, there is no reason to.

I ordered 4 cards, 30% off, 8 dollars shipping, no tax.

wow you lucky bum I wish I could of used the 20% with the 10% now I'll have to wait again for this hot deal to comea round. Does anyone know if microcenter still have 20% off on all their cards?

There is a 20% coupon floating around that I used and it was valid. Also a 10% one floating around. I did not try to stack but you might be able to.

Word is CA has to pay tax. TN doesn't have to!

Where are you at in TN?

slim chance, but one can always hope

Wow, now I'm depressed. If the order goes through and anybody ordered extras, lmk as I'd be happy to take one or two off of your hands.

Thanks, abuse the coupon and get it all cancelled for us. That's BS.

The email confirmation I have so far does not state when it will ship.

Pffffft....splain to me how I am abusing it. I ordered four cards, what's the BFD?

I hope they cancel yours, I'm sure you don't have 4 systems to put those cards in. Sorry, but I REALLY need mine. I will only post good deals I find now that I don't need.

 

[PresslufthammerBernd]

Seriously, what's your problem? So I ordered four cards for a valid discount. Is there anything substantial morally or legally wrong with that?

BTW, I intend to re-sell all four cards, yes. Am I doing something wrong? Or were you too slow to get your order in?

 

[Tnvolsfan]

Just when that happens, it may flag the seller and cause them to pull the coupon ruining the deal. It's abuse. I started the thread ID10T. It's just my HFO. OK?

Don't post here, PM me if you have a problem.

 

[Ackbar]

To be honest, I'm not sure why they would cancel the order as you guys suggest they might. These are legitimate codes (although them being stackable probably did not occur to them) and ATI unlike other stores isn't going to take a huge profit hit selling these things at this price (which probably ends up still netting them a small profit). In my personal opinion, ATI doesn't need to worry about maybe 50-100 X800 XL's getting sold at a discount.

Just one man's, unsubstansiated point of view on the matter...

 

[Tnvolsfan]

IMHO any more than one is abuse and this is ridculous!

ABUSE

 

[PresslufthammerBernd]

PM your way.

Not to get caught in the middle, but I think they flagged the codes in general b/c when suddenly hundreds of people are ordering video cards when there is no apparent sale on the items I'm sure the people monitoring the store takes notice.

 

[PresslufthammerBernd]

As expressed before, there is nothing wrong with getting more than one. If there was, I am sure ATI would have stated that. It's also not against forum rules.

 

[bunnyfubbles]

Abuse would be when they have a limmited supply such as refurbished stuff and there's only 50 pieces left. Technically everyone who wasn't supposed to know about the code(s) are abusing the system for those who were supposed to know about them.

It doesn't violate any written rules, but you do violate being a "nice" human being. By ordering 4 with sole intention of reselling, you're no better than those Ebay jackals that ruins good deals for people who just wants to get a single order in. I despise you and I hope your order gets cancelled and even if you do get the sell that cards at a loss or margin so low that it wasn't worth your effort.

Yeah yeah yeah....that capitalism concept is pretty evil, I admit.:roll:
