Y settle for an 8x when you can get the 16x/10x/40x yamaha for $27.50 or less (after MIR & coupon) at Staples B&M

[Zwingle]

To quote the great ZZ TOP " Yes, it's baaaaaadd!, It's nationwide" Price drop late last week I believe.

 

[Maximus96]

alright!! i'll end up paying ~$10 for the drive!!!

 

[LukFilm]

Hopefully me too, after I stop by for price adjustment for my two drives I bought earlier

 

[TBP]

Just bought one this morning, though I have to explain it to my wife why I need two CD-RWs on a PC.

Anyway, the rebate form can be found on yamaha's website

It's a pdf file, clean and clear.

 

[frogster220]

I called 8 stores and no one had one of these. I may just settle for the 8x.

I'm so bummed.

 

[6thElement]

Both stores in Canton Ohio were out so I picked up the 8x Philips drive for $23 instead.

If you already check atlanta area, can you please list which store you called so I won't. They can't handle anandtech caller...

I was able to score at Buford and a wonderful cashier suggested I stack the 30 and 15 coupon on my email. Sure!

THANKS TO ORIGINAL POSTER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[flenn]

Anyone know why it would ring up for $137.40 at my local Staples?

 

[HKSturboKID]

Flenn, can you tell us which store has it for $137.40. Let me go down there and ask them myself.

 

[samgoody69]

how can I check the local staples stock via staples.com?

 

[Zwingle]

You can't....this a B&M deal only...it is not listed on Staple.com. Let your fingers do the walking....call around.

 

[GetReal]

Can someone who actually got one of these post a SKU# from their receipt for a PM ?

 

[polotek147]

This is super cheap for a 16x. Sheesh, burners these days are getting cheaper exponentially. :Q

 

[Zwingle]

Staples SKU on the 16x burner is 446635

Link to original thread is here....

 

[bmwme]

Hey TBP, you say you have two?
I'll buy one off you at a reasonalble cost if you are willing...let me know!

 

[david849]

It out in Birmingham, AL!
D

 

[flenn]

Well I would, HKSturboKID, but I don't think I'm through with them. While on the phone, I had the guy ring it up at a register and $137.40 is what comes up. What's interesting is that this is almost exactly $50 more (the amount of the rebate) than what others are getting it for. I'm wondering if it's a pricing mistake that has gotten fixed. Anyone have any success in the last couple hours?

 

[GetReal]

Thanks Zwingle. I really needed this for my PM with OM.

 

[awanSky]

Umm... my local staples has them... for $249!

How does the PM thing work with other BM stores... is this a nationwide clearance item???

<< Umm... my local staples has them... for $249! >>


This is the sticker price which is not updated. Have someone from Staples scan the price for you. The updated price should be $87.50.
