SuperFreaky:

I did the deal you're talking about, but I did it one better. The receipt from JCPenny listed the two games that came with it at full price, so I returned the two games and got about $80.00 back. Net deal was that I was paid to take a Dreamcast

Dreamcast w/ 2 games from JCPenny

$169.99
- %30 (instant online discount)
- %10 (for applying for a JCPenny CC)
- $10 ($15 off coupon from $5 catalog)
- $50 (rebate from Sega)
---------
= $54 (with tax and shipping to store)

 

[Santa]

you should try to compile the hot deals and then make a poll about it... good use of this poll feature. Then repost the thread with the new poll. or just edit this one.

 

[SuperFreaky]

Damn!!! nice call.... I actually tried to take them to Best Buy to see if they would take em (no luck, and my receipt didn't mention the games)

Hmm...I'll bite. How the hell did you get a $60 Palm V??

Wow. I thought my staples-pricematch-coupon-promotion $252 Canon S100 Digital Elph was a good deal.

 

[dealgod]

I just wanted to throw in fatwallet free section, for the many hookups i got from it.

 

[VenGog]

I should say Dream cast bundle with NFL and Sonic for $57.50 @JCPENNY(I just received 50.00 check from SEGA!!!) for what it is selling out there.

Apart from other free stuff, memory sticks from Equal, phones from staples...... MAN the list goes on...

I lost lot of money not watching my stocks, but saved meager cents on these deals this year.

 

[jonnyfin]

my nominations:

$50 nomad II
Free 930c from e-stamp
Anything actually received from whatshotnow.com
$400 msn deal at best buy (ca)
$100 $ $150 free amazon gc's from collegehire &amp; mci respectively

thanks to this place there is nothing that i want for x-mas, i have it all already!

 

[darker]

The afternoon of hot sex with my sexy neigbor. That would have to be my best deal of the year!

 

[spec411]

i think the $60 palm was the result of stacked staples coupons...

i dont think anyone mentioned the computers4sure &quot;Find the Bunny&quot; $100 promo, the Bolt.com $100 promo, and the FreeColorPrinters free color business printer

 

[HKSturboKID]

I don't know about you guys buy as for me.....

All those YAFTS Deals are the best.

 

[Hawk]

Oh yeah! Forgot about the Nomad II dealie! Dang, too bad I didn't think of returning the two crappy Dreamcast games.

 

[Homerboy]

HP/e-stamp 930c printer
and the latest 45gig Maxtor and ATA100 card from Staples for $87.50 shipped

WHY ISNT THIS A POLL!?!?!?!!

 

[Varborta]

Viper II for 40 dollars after 20 dollars rebate in outpost.com

 

[awp]

I personally think the best deal for me was the Questlink/Netbuy $175 off $200. I got myself a 17-inch monitor and some software for $35.

Runners-up:
Getting both a cordless keyboard and an I-Feel mouse from Equalfooting/Staples for $20 total after rebates.

The D-Link MP3 player and a 5-inch TV from Office Max for $19.99.

Tivo essay giveaway: a 14-hour model for free(would have prefered the 30-hour unit, but hey, it was free!!).

 

[Shaftatplanetquake]

Bah! You guys don't have a clue what your talking about.

the best deal this year was: FREE WINZIP 8.0 DOWNLOAD!!!

As a matter of fact, its still available! GO PICK THIS UP NOW WHILE ITS STILL UP!

 

[ygreenkitty]

Definitely my FreePC! Of course, the Virgin player was icing on the cake.

 

[AirJames]

Umax 3400 + Z22 for $46 after rebate, Nomad II, WD 40 GB $109.99, Sidewinder Freestyle pro $5, Polaroid 1100 $150, MSN $400 rebate, Stainless steel mug from that security protectors place. Gotta luv the free after rebate stuff.

 

[Yellow-G]

For all of those who forgot, I nominate the $400 MSN free money at Best Buy. $400 in free merchandise from Best Buy was quite nice. Also the $150 Imation 8x20 SCSI external burner with SCSI card was also a great deal. The Western Digital 45 gig hard drive for $40 at CompUSA was also a good one.

Thanks again Anandtech forum people! Without you guys, none of these deals would have been possible!

 

[Carnivore99]

Questlink $175 off 200! I picked up 128mb Micron PC133 SDRAM for $25 when the best deals were ~150 everywhere else. It was a hassle getting through on their site but worth it in the end.

 

[Healey]

A bit controversial, but Cyberrebate proved to be a good deal for me. I have all my Christmas gifts good to go, for free. In fact I made over $200 on the deal! And yes I've already received, and cashed, all the rebates.

 

[InternalRevenue]

I got in on three really good ones:

OMax 15&quot; LCD - $229 (bought a floor model)
Buy.com 256MB RAM - $115
Tivo - $28 after rebates (if they ever show up)

 

[auyong]

I think the best deal was emusic.com 5 months ago. Buy $50 worth of mp3s and you get Creative Nomad II 32Mb USB mp3 player free! The player still costs 200+ bucks now!
