**REBATE EXPIRED** HOT!!! Top-Quality Kodak Webcam for $23.97 after sure-thing PM and $30 rebate. Read on.

[ThisIsMatt]

Daaaaaaaaaaaaang! I can't pricematch again because I was too close to $75 originally! If I pricematch again, I would be 38 cents below $75 and then I couldn't use the coupon!

 

[apoppin]

Why would it matter? You already USED the coupon. Now Staples' policy allows you to pricematch.

They didn't say anything about me getting charged $25 for the (now) invalid coupon. They said my credit card would be credited $3.01.

 

[ThisIsMatt]

We appreciate your inquiry concerning this issue, XXXXXXX.

I apologize, but we are unable to price match to Buy.com's current price of $63.69 plus $5.95
shipping. The coupon used on your order was for $25 off of a $75 purchase, and if we complete this
price match to $69.64, your order will be below that requirement for the coupon, and we will be
required to charge the coupon back to your credit card.

We apologize for any inconvenience this might cause you. Please do not hesitate to contact us if
you require further assistance.

Thank you for your patience concerning this matter.

Add $4.98 for the cdrs I bought with it, and you're 38 cents under $75

 

[XRdirtHead]

Did anyone actually get a packing slip with the price they paid on it? We'll need that for the rebate right?

 

[ThisIsMatt]

XRdirtHead - my invoice came with the cdrs I ordered...

 

[XRdirtHead]

I just had them fax a copy of my invoice ....

Hoorrraaay,

got mine today, Staples really comes through for me on this....
CSR is verrryyy nice, she PM /w Buy.com for $63.69, and doesn't even bother to add shipping charge...props to the CSR
well, that kinda throw my plan off the curb a bit. Before I was thinking they gonna add $17.07 for s/h charge, now I have to scramble to find item at that price to bring the whole deal to above $75, finally, I am settling for 2 clear tapes $8.58 and 2 Memorex Platinum 4x CDRW $3.98... total of $76.25-$25 off = $51.25+tax
and after $30 MIR will be less than $25 WOW
I AM HAPPY....

why do PM???? just go to buy dot com and use 10 off 30...and use 30 rebate...final price would be the same..

 

[Crazy8]

Probably not. Buying from Buy.com means no extra stuffs (not to mention the additional shipping cost).

 

[yihang]

ordered mine from staples with PM to buy.com when it was selling for 70 at buy.com..
just called back to get credit back for the price drop
the CSR was nice.


buying from staples sometimes can get things delivered overnight.

FOR REBATE PURPOSES: Is the serial # on the outside of the box?

 

[MrWasteProduct]

Staples CSR told me I was under by $.58 after the 'low price match' and would not be able to use the $25/$75 coupon. Added Crayola 12/pk Colored chalk for $.79 item number 272625, great for the kids.

Hi Guys,
Can anybody help me to get the link for online PM in Staples. I ordered the web cam just few minutes. The CSR whom I talked with gave me for 69.44 + no Shipping(0.00). So I like to do a price match online to get back my money .
Thanks in advance

Got the Kodak rebate! was having trouble getting it, It was my add blocker, took me 3 day to figure that one out.(uninstalled acrobat twice and two different versions,4.0 and 3.01(I went a little to deep) So it was add blocker holding me up. Something to keep in mind. Let's just say it's off right now. MontyBurns YOU THE MAN!!!!

[zeafido]

got my cam and disk today..... like it very much, and the quality is good....

 

[lizardboy]

Monty,

Thanks for a great find...camera arrived earlier this week (a few days earlier than is was supposed to)...very happy with pic quality...i was also able to do a new PM with buy.com and will receive an $8 credit (i think the CSR failed to factor in shipping as part of the new price) brining my total after the rebate to around $18.

 

[ThisIsMatt]

Man, I was screwing around with my video card drivers and ended up uninstalling some OpenGL stuff...after that the picture quality of this cam improved dramatically for some reason...much more impressed now...

 

[patrickj]

Damn that was fast...I ordered on Tuesday, and everything arrived yesterday!!! Staples didn't even know that the webcam had shipped. Downloaded the drivers, installed them, plugged in the webcam, wallah....win2k said hello and it was installed.

Fired up MS Photo Editor and snapped a few pics. The picture quality is quite good. How is the software that comes with the cam? Any reccomendations on what software to use for this cam?

Thanks in advance....

 

[PatriX]

I just got my shipment. It came so fast, 5 days earlier than what the CSR had told me! Good camera, poor software. I think the engineers could have done so much better.

 

[fishlet]

Got mine earlier this week. The quality of picture is perfect for the price. Thanx

 

[xrdirthead19]

I received mine but I could use some help picking out some cool software to go along with it....

 

[xrdirthead19]

How fast would my computer have to be to have the larger views stream clearly....

 

[858diver]

Just want to emphasize what Murse suggests about using the upgraded drivers - a WORLD of difference over the software shipped with the camera.

Check out his comments for the link to the Kodak website.

Thanks Murse!
