Officemax Friends and Family sale April 26th: $99 laser printer

[3point14]

Ahhh man, the "$99 laser" in the title is a little misleading. Now, where can I get some frickin' laser beams for my sharks?

The second SKU in the ad (look really closely underneath the picture of the drive) is for the 300i. The 300i is also eligible for this price. Specifically ask for a 300i if/when you attend the F&F event. You will have a brand new 4X DVD burner for $150.

oh man, good eyes!! it also sells regularly for $299.99 so there should be no problem in getting it for $150.
just make sure you get there early I guess

Will we be able to purchase more than one item on this flier or is it used like a coupon for any ONE item you buy?

Not to put a bad taste on this deal,

Watch out for the QMS/Minolta 1250W if you are going to print a lot of paper.

Toner packs are $79 each and Drum packs are $109.
Since you change 1 drum every 3 toner packs
That is $115 per toner change.

The HP 1200se (Which was last weeks special for $199) brand new toners/drums were $65 and the refurbs were $35.

So just remember that this is a good priced printer but a little more on the consumables.

Wow. That camera looks like an awesome deal. It has 8X optical zoom! I haven't seen many 8X optical zoom cameras anywhere near that price. Too bad I just bought another Olympus, but at least the one I bought is more compact and is 4MP.

This camera gets really good reviews, and is $409 at Newegg with no return, and $499 at buy.com.

$299 is the same price the cheapest places charge for refurbished ones.

Can we use the printable staples coupon on top of these deals?

 

[bravo261]

whew, that 200i is a killer price out the door. it isn't the fastest thing on the block, but still faster than the comparable -R drives

 

[bravo261]

oh, are you guys sure this could be printed out and brought to stores? are the real ones on any special or colored paper?

 

[Braxus]

hmm... the printer being a GDI based printer makes it a big turn off...

maybe. If you can get staples to PM, then you can use the coupons as well. but the staples coupons won't work at OM.

bravo:

Read my post above regarding the HP 200i and 300i. The 300i will also work at this price. You can get a new 4X DVD+R(W) for only $150.

P.S.

If you work in a retail store that sells HP products, you can save even more through their infolab, but unfortunately you must work at a valid retail outlet to qualify for HP's "bonus" rebate.

Dogbertt and Braxus:

Thanks for the update on the laser printer's quality and quantity issues. I suppose that we all should know that their must be a "catch" to get such a good price on a laser printer. Perhaps it would make a good spare/second printer instead of a dedicated workhorse. Although, if you apply the instant $100 savings toward an extra cartridge, it would be like getting a few thousand prints for "free".

Take care,
ChunkyBarf

 

[oslama]

the 300i is the sub for discontinued 200i (most stores have atleast 4 on hand)

The early bird will get the slow worm. - grasshopper ;O

 

[AiRAzN23]

Interesting thought...anyone know if staples will pm a friends and family deal like this?
probably a big ymmv thing

Yes they will.
It's how I scored a PSC 750C for 35.00 AR and PM last year.
Or at least mine did, once again YMMV.

Think I even used a coupon @ staples and got 110%, bought it a week early and then went back saturday.

 

[PING]

HP 300i is only capable of writing +R/+RW. Now, does anyone knows who made the drive mechanism for HP 300i? Is it Sony or Phillips? does it really matter?

Ricoh, if I remember correctly.

This is a really hot deal. My local OM accepts staples coupons as a competitor's coupon. Is there some reason why they wouldn't in conjunction with this deal. I could have that sweet DVD-Burner for $120!!!


Sorry, I just saw the "non other coupons or discounts will be honored with the exception of mail-in rebates" language. Plan B involves PM at Staples then.

I guess we have to buy at OM, pricematch at Staples, return to OM. sigh. It's hard to be a AT'ers.

Exactly.

 

[SDOG34]

Can someone explain to me why Staples is so afraid of the Chicagoland area? I have to travel 55 miles to fricken Wisconsin just to find one.

Rant aside, are you guys going to take the receipt in to Staples, pm, then use a coupon?

 

[happykitty00]

Wow, thank you for your post! But It seem that that printer disappeared from OMAX website. (I saw it this afternoon.)

 

[wondersteve]

got some good deals .... thanks

 

[Ph34rful]

I am very interested in that DVD Writer. Especially if I can somehow get the new version.
