The Staples SKU for the NEC LCD 1530V that is on clearance is 451114. It's possible he got the %50 off because they wanted to unload clearance items.

TWO. Why would he go make copies at staples when he works in a office? Isn't normal for an office to have a copier machine somewhere?

THREE. This guy has 4 posts...

HAHA good analysis... HMmm... but it's really SMOKIN if it's rreally true

If so, then maybe they were really selling them for 50% off:Q

This is a clearance item at Staples, and I think it started a couple of weeks ago. Last week, there was even a $50 rebate on it. Someone reported at FW that they were getting this monitor at 50% off clearance price PLUS a rebate AND a coupon. :Q

Read this thread for more information. And the clearance is nation wide. Unfortunately, the 50% off is NOT!!!

Well i went to staples on a whim that i might get lucky. Nope.... but I did find the last Vivicam 3725 marked down to 169.98. After $20 off and tax the total was $162.13. They even threw in a 2 yr warranty ($39 value) for free. Thanks for getting me off my butt.

Clearance here in Lex, KY was around $250 for Nec and Philips 15" LCD.s I got a NEC 17", 1700M+ for $450 - $30 coupon. Then I called NEC - Mits and spoke to a guy in promotions that agreed to extend the $50 rebate that just expired (he said they were going to re-run it anyway). So I'm happy since my Optiquest V95 just blew..

A lot of the clearance stuff at Staples can be priced differently. It depends on a few things (availablity at that store, the urge to get rid of them etc.) If there are a few available and they really want ot get rid of them then you might see the price get lower than what may ring up at the register. This isnt a hot deal cuz it would only be at that particular Staples as they are changing the price with their own discretion and most likely no one else will find a price as this one.

It *is* a hot deal... just a YMMV hot deal. I'm hoping my mileage varies favorably.

Please pardon my ignorance but what does YMMV mean?

The managers in Philadelphia are dicks, when I tried to buy my NEC 1530v, they only had the display model and the manager wouldnt even give me any $ off the display and she knew that I couldnt get the rebate without the box. So I bought it from a store a few miles down.
