[Herbman]

Getting a 36'Sony Wega Tv for final cost $1002.67 and $50 gc from 800.com

Compaq Aero 2130 Handheld Color PC from Staples for $65

I was pleasantly surprised to be one of the few to actually receive this, on clearance for $89, minus $25 coupon = $65.

I ordered two, but received cancellation emails on both orders. However, one actually showed up!

I think getting my Honda S2000 for $33,400 was a steal considering everywhere else in town it sold for $36-$42K..

After 2 small accidents I decided to sell it(after repairs) and got $33,400, so I only lost TT&L, which ain't bad for 5 months of ownership..

++DEAL of the YEaR++
$400 MSN deal at beginning of year. $400 free with no strings attach. WOW! #1 even tho I missed out on it.

#2 - PointClick. Free money for clicking on links... Made out a total of over $800 on one acct. Had I had known they were for realz, I would've made more. I know many more that made out with over $2000. I'm surprise they still up and running. The reason this is not #1 is because MSN $400 was available for more ppl.

#3 - OfficeMax $299 Flat panel LCD. nuff said!

#4 - Shopss.com: Free P3 Computer, or one for $371. Longest running topic so far. Over 15 threads with ~200 posts each

#5 - Essential.com/Qwest: $100 check for switching. Scored big time on this.

#6 - Various opening Etrade acct deals: One with Microcenter for $400 shopping spree. $ worth of one E-BAY share. Over ~$300 when I did it. helluva deal!

#7 - Mobshop/Accompany. 25% and 20% off and with free shipping. Those were the days. It seem like they were just giving away monitors and palm Vs, and don't forget the $5.99 dreamcast games.

#8 - misc.....free GCs to amazon.....other free stuff from PM.....free printers from estamp.com......free windows2000 full.....free tivos......cheap ram......cheap hd......cheap monitors.

the western digital 45.0 gig HD for $40 after pricematch and rebate at compUSuckA.

 

[Wolverine88]

My list:

1. JVC 3 Megapixel for $300 from cameraworld.com
2. Free HP 930 InkJet Printer from buy.com
3. WD 45G from CompUSA $45

My word:
The more hot deal you get, the more money you lose.

I guess I've lost $$$$ this year after I joined this forum.

Any place to get a hot deal on SUV (esp. european maker) ?

 

[ismellsmoke]

my best deal had to be the pIII 466 computer i got from " my favorite computer " for $150 including shipping .

 

[drewdogg808]

My vote is for the HP 930c. Many, many other great deals to remember.

 

[mpg]

If you ask me this thread was a little premature considering the best deals come out next month.

 

[dealgod]

the free flooz i accumulated was sweet also

 

[hardworker]

1) e-trade deal, got the computer for free, got the rebate, took it out, invested $800 in Vertex, tripled in value.
2) officemax $250 deal on S10 camera + staples $70 power supply + buy.com $65 CF
3) mci deal $150 GC

 

[dafatha00]

i think my Altec Lansing ADA-885s for $140 plus free shipping at Outpost.com was my best deal

 

[shamu]

I think the free toothbrush below is the HOTTEST deal this year.

 

[MadSheepie]

Baaa. You have been warned.

 

[wonder mike]

By far the msn/best buy screw had to be the one of the greatest deals of all time. bar none

 

[Murse]

I try to control myself or I'll go broke with all these hot deals...

My votes for best are the HP printer/e-stamp deal (even though I never did get that stupid vault to work) and the $148 Compaq/Mercata monitor deal(maybe because it's fresh on my mind).

The printer is quiet and pretty fast.
The monitor is not the flattest, but the color is good and it is BIG!

Oh, I think my kids would vote for the random KBKids deals.

Thanks Hot Deals forum!

 

[NeoV]

I am pissed I missed out on the Nomad deal! I have so much extra computer stuff that I patrol the for sale/trade forum more than this one now...anyhow, my list is:

My Officemax LCD for $299 deal...I hope I helped some people find them!

Onvia - Visiontek $10 900mhz cordless phone with speakerphone and $20 rebate!

Egghead 256mb PC133 ram - I got one!

The California MSN $400 is probably the best, but the limited coverage keeps it down

My very best deal was a Panasonic L10 portable DVD player for $99....and I got 5 of them!

 

[godspeed6]

Being the only person in Western Washington to get the very last 299 LCD. I even had it transferred to my local store. I'm surprised some Pr!@k store manager didn't try to snag it.

 

[PicPop]

the jvc 3.11 megapix camera i got from camera world

 

[dealgod]
