NO DEAL. TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE. $.02 OR FREE BELKIN USB HUB? *DEAD*

[DaveS]

Before I get the flame for this . . . check out this SUPER HOT DEAL.
I was looking for a Belkin HUB for all my USB crap, I was searching Pricegrabber. I came across this SUPER HOT DEAL!
http://www.pricegrabber.com/search_getprod.php?masterid=142273&search=usb%20hub
It is a Belkin 7 Port USB HUB. It is listed as $.02!!!!!!!!
After checking the link to BuyMicro here:
http://www.buymicro.com/default.cfm?loadsearch=F5U010-PR%20BELKIN%20COMPONENTS
there is no price listed. It is listed in stock and there is no price listed. It says to call for a price.

I am not sure if these will go through, so I have screen caps and printouts of the price on Pricegrabber, but if it does, then this is a SUPER HOT DEAL. Don't flame me if this does not come through, but I have my fingers crossed. They are closed for the weekend, but I will call them on Monday just to ask the price . . . please do not abuse this by calling them 10 million times on monday . . . I will post my results. Please do the same.

Later,

DaveS

interesting........ looking forward to the Mon. update!

 

[Chewy]

well you're def. right...it COULD be a hot deal...but I have no need for a hub, so I ain't gonna order and prevent you guys from getting what could be an awesome deal...

 

[InSuboRdiNaTioN]

Since nobody gives away hubs I gotta imagine it's a typo.

 

[lizardboy]

WTF, i ordered 1 (only 1, better chance order will go thru if they catch on)...see what happens

edited to add that shipping came up as $7.09, and as of late saturday night i have not received any kind of confirmation e-mail

 

[mccall]

The BuyMicro link in the original post now returns an error, and searching the site reveals the price is now listed as "call".

Good luck.

 

[z0ner]

Under "Price" the soon-to-be invoice says "Call". Don't be surprised if you get a charge for qty x full retail on those babies. I'm not going near this one...

 

[DocYahoo]

From what I saw, the price is "call" and that doesn't mean it's free, it means, well, like it says "call" them for the pricing.

I suggest that you check your Credit Card statement for what is really being charged to your card.

 

[kxy]

I can wait

 

[JamesGang]

Completed order... price including shipping was $5.44 with a unit price of $0.00.

I just ordered too, came to 7.04 shipped ups to cleveland. Hope this goes through. I just cancelled an order for a $24 usb hub that i was already ordering from buy.com.

 

[samgoody69]

This might be a real deal. I remember few months back, Circuit city has belkin 4 port USB hub free after rebate. Should be the same hub.

Just my 2 cent

 

[bargingunner]

price is probably correct. this is a self powered hub. i think after you get this installed you will probably want to buy a power supply. may not be as hot a deal then as it looks now!

 

[DaveS]

I was able to find these too on Pricegrabber for $.02. Notice how they all say "PROMO".

Logitech PS/2/USB Three-Button Wheel Mouse

As far as the HUB . . . it is probably the F5U010 (BuyMicro has this as a F5U010-PR for PROMO) and it does have the power supply. Here is a link for that model from Belkin: Link!

So what is the deal with the PROMO?

DaveS

Again - I am not saying that they are $.02 or free . . . in fact there more than likely is a charge for these. This just seems too weird to be true. Use this Hot Deal at your own risk. Won't know for sure until Monday when they open. I have not gotten a confirmation email yet . . . anyone got theirs?

 

[Chuck2]

Needed another hub for the second system. Everything seems to be ok. Price $0.00 shipping $5.14 total $5.14/waiting for confirmation email. THANKS to DaveS and all the rest with their comments.

 

[samgoody69]

The Belkin 4 port USB hub that I got from Circuit city few month back (free after MIR) DOES come with the power supplu. There is a switch that you can choose between "self powered" or "From adapator". Works great for me.

FYI the Belkin 4-port USB hub that I have is model # F5U014-OE

 

[xqqqme]

It is now showing at $100.00
Wish I'd seen this earlier I need a hub and a 7 port would be sweet!

 

[DaveS]

I checked online and now they are $100.00!!!!
When I signed in and checked for my orders . . . nothing. Looks like they cancelled my order. Anyone else not showing an order?

Oh well, too good to be true.

DaveS

Also - my card has not been pre-authorized yet. I would have seen something on my card by now.

 

[gev115]

they would tell me if the price was actually higher, right? i don't want to order it and be charged a higher price after they ship. is this a reliable site?

the site through pricegrabber is still .02... wouldn't they update it since the buymicro site now says $100???

 

[koth]

you're the man ....daveS
thanks

but right now it shows $100 for the hub

 

[lefort]

A bit scared now, friend of mine was ordering 2 and got THIS!!!!!!! as price. Can they really do this? How do I cancel?

 

[lefort]

Actually, whn I goto their site and log in and click order info the field is blank. It did show order number before. Wonder if this means order is canceled

 

[gev115]

LOL... i think i'll avoid this one like the plague.

 

[thegreatjeff]

I wouldorder one of these but I really have no need for one and besides I don't want to kill the deal. (Hey that rhymes doesn't it? )
