Warm: Officemax (OMAX) B&M Clearance: 56k modem, $4.50, software $9, ext 52x24x52 $57.50; YMMV, no rebates!

[Karaktu]

Just an FYI...

My local Officemax has pretty much anything that's left in the store that has been FAR in the last year is on clearance at pretty good prices WITHOUT rebates. Keyboards, jewel cases, lots of software titles (I picked up Civilization III for $9), mice, etc. It's probably worth your time to stop in.

Examples:

Hi-Val 56k PCI modem (usually V.92 and either Agere or Conexant chipset), $4.50
Cendyne 52x24x52 external USB2.0 CD-R/W (the model I saw was a Lite On and black), $57.50
Pacific Digital 52x24x52 CD-R/W drive, $20
Cendyne 16x48 DVD-ROM (I got Samsung), $9

Of course, YMMV to the extreme as this is a clearance of stock on hand.

Happy shopping!

Joe

it scanned at the register like that? :0 tia!

 

[Karaktu]

They're tagged at the prices listed (and scan that way), although the DVD-ROM drives had a shelf talker rather than the boxes being tagged.

Interesting. Perhaps they want to clear out some stock, to make room for turkey-day/x-mas sales stuff.

The Cendyne DVD-ROM was known about, and mentioned, in another thread. The Pac. Dig. 52x CD-RW is pretty hot though, assuming it's a decent drive. The Modem isn't too bad either, as long as it's not a PCTel chipset.

The Cendyne was not clearanced. It was a one week sale for $9 and was listed in printouts available in store. Thay are back to regular price now, at least that's what others are reporting. My store has none left so I can't check. I'll be checking the other things listed tomorrow.

BTW - on Black Friday Omax has the Khypermedia 52x24x52 CDRW free after a $40 rebate and the Best Data 56k modem free after a $15 rebate.

Is this sale going for ALL office max? or just yours?

because I went to my local office max yesterday and saw those drives around $80-100 on the shelves.

or is it in a special clearance bin/row?

This has got to be a per store deal. My Omax isn't participating and we have LOADS of those PCI modems sitting around.

True Dat. To add insult to injury they sent my store a few more cases right after back to school, so our topstock and clearance areas are filled with the damn things. They refuse to go away. Hopefully they WILL hit $4.50 in our store soon. Real soon.

 

[unclebud]

actually, aren't those win modems $10 everywhere in the instore flyer (for this week)? or are there two or three different models?

 

[BlueWeasel]

No Civ3 at my local store

Going to go check the Tulsa OM right now, will see.

 

[Karaktu]

Just to clarify, I'm in the St. Paul, MN area and the local stores here seems to have these items clearanced.

Did the Olympus C4000 go back on sale? I was there a few days ago and it was back up to $400 .

 

[k1114]

Just got home, the OM in Tulsa does NOT have the burners on clearance.

Speaking of those cheap PCI modems, I saw them selling for a "list price" of $30 at CC. I think I bought my last one at OM for $10 - $10 MIR. Good luck getting rid of them. Analog modems are on the way out.
