If you're in Staples, ask for the drive, even if they said it was out of stock "yesterday". On Wednesday, I picked one up at noon. I went back at 5pm to get another one for a friend and they said they were out of stock...shipped the last few to another store. I went back last night (Thursday) to return the drive and then rebuy it after adding some CDRs to bring the price over $100. This allowed me to apply the $20 of $100 instead of $10 off $40. Sorry, I digress. While I was in the store, I figured I'd ask if they had any more. Low and behold, the service clerk comes walking out with another one! My friend was siked when I told him about it today. Bottom line: They may keep showing up for a short while longer, so keep asking for them if you are still interested.

i got the drive when it was 137.50 at staples and wanted to get a price adjust but they told me it was over the 2 week period so i asked them to print out something so i can take it up with amex... the printed out the 87.40 price label for me.. hope amex will adjust the price.. i also went to best buys with the little price label and ask them to pricematch that.. i was able to get the pricematch plus a 10% difference the promise with the pricemacth. and there is also a $50 rebate on it..

 

[cjsh]

jetli728,

but don't you have to return one to Staples? do they take it back afer 14 days? just curious.

 

[Rally1]

<gloat> got mine
PM to 87 today, and they left the coupon on

137 - 30 - 50 - 50 = $7 (plus tax) sold on ebayt for $132 and $139 made $250.

sorry to gloat, i screwed on every other deal so let it go!

 

[HKSturboKID]

Jetli728....you should return the drive and re-purchase it again. If they don't do the price adjustment. I think they have a 30 return policy and the price adjustment policy. So you can return it and re-purchase it and make it a nice deal.

 

[wasssup]

wait wait wait...jetli, what exactly do i ask staples.com to print out (with the yamaha/$87.50 price)? I picked up a Philips 8x4x32x at $70+ tax today (stupid me didn't have any coupons), but i'd love to get that Yamaha 16x10x32x...i even have some Best Buy GC's I want to use up...

 

[jetli728]

wassup, u got to go to staples bm i asked them for something in print that stated the price.. the lady went into the back and came out with one of those index card sized tags that said clearence on the top and the price with the sku number and stuff.. and hkskid, the return policy for staples is 14 days and so is the price adjustment. 14 days for returns on computer stuff..

Has anyone found this CDRW drive at Staples in Boston area ?

Rally1: Not sure how you worked it, but great deal! If it makes you feel good to publicly gloat about how good your deal worked out, then fine; maybe someone here can benefit from knowing how it was done and do something similar.

I've read alot of your posts and they provide a definite value to this forum and give good info to interested readers. But why not keep your e-gay trading to yourself! For the most part, ananders share deal info here so ananders and friends can get great deals for their own use. This in turn prompts readers to post great deals they discover for others.

Profiteering, I think (and trolls may disagree) is not within the spirit of why this forum was established. In doing so fellow ananders are deprived of the very deals they seek here, while sharks buy up everything they can and then resell. Those without other means of income can certainly justify themselves, but they don't need to crow about it. In doing so such posts merely serve to upset other ananders who couldn't get in on the deals because everything was already bought up and e-gayed.

Please don't take this post as a flame. It is not intended as such. It's just a more than subtle suggestion to refrain from sharing your intents to e-gay deals for profit. We don't need to know what you do after you've done the work involve to get that great deal.

Now off to find what's left over at the b&amp;m's.

Finally got a chance to make the long trip to my nearest B&amp;M. Waited till the female counter person was available (after checking all of store first) to ask her to check &quot;the back room&quot;. Just then 2 dudes flocked inside it and she asked them to look. The one &quot;dweeb&quot; said cheapishly, &quot;No we don't have that back here&quot; with a look like the little kid with chocolate stain on his face when asked if he took any cookies. Then his &quot;buddy&quot; said we have no Yamahas at all in here.

Anyone think there was one back there? Like me.

Question regarding the Yamaha rebate form:

I bought two of the Yamaha drives on one sales receipt (to utilize the $30 off $150 in-store coupon). I asked and received from the sales clerk two duplicates of the original sales receipt (for an option of sending in two sets of rebate documents...for a $50 rebate per each request).

There is no mention in Terms and Conditions of any rebate limits per household.

1) Is it &quot;OK&quot; to send in two &quot;Proof of Purchase&quot; flaps, two UPC panel codes, one sales-receipt-copy (showing two drives purchased) and one rebate form in ONE submission envelope and expect to receive ONE $100 rebate check...

...or...

2) Is it necessary (or wiser) to send in TWO sets of all the required documents/upc/ proof-of-purchase/sales-receipt in SEPARATE envelopes...i.e as two separate submissions, expecting two separate $50 rebate checks?

I ask because the first instruction on the rebate form says:

&quot;Purchase ONE of the following Yamaha CD-RW Recorders...&quot; [Does not say &quot;one or more&quot; but does identify multiple Yamaha products]

...yet, under Terms and Conditions, the words &quot;original UPC panels&quot; [plural] and &quot;receipt(s)&quot; [one (or more)] and &quot;original proof of purchase flap&quot; [singular]:

<< Offer is void if the Rebate Certificate, original UPC panels, original proof of purchase flap, and original (or clean copy of) dated cash register receipt(s) are not included. >>

I'm confused why &quot;panels&quot; and &quot;receipt(s)&quot; are plural but &quot;flap&quot; is singular. Is there more than one UPC panel per box...i.e. another besides the one I noticed and cut-out from the outer side, lower edge? (There's only one &quot;proof of purchase flap&quot; on the CDW2100EZ box.)

Anyone with knowledge/experience about this particular rebate offer?

(I doubt the 1-877-776-0364 number will present an option for communication with a human for clarification.)

Thanks for any clarification.

 

[kaiotes]

i haven't read any of rebate as i dindt' find any drives at my stores.
basically what they usually mean is limit 1 of each kind of drive
meaningyou won't be getting 100

 

[JD]

Sorry, here's the Yamaha Rebate Offer.

 

[rseraji]

awesome!!! this is so cheap!!

i hope the deal is still active.. gonna go look for it tomorrow!

 

[MADCAP]

I'm in the same boat as you JD. I'm faced with that EXACT situation. I was waiting till Monday to call around and see what the procedure is. If I find out, I'll post. And if you do, please do the same.

 

[polotek147]

^ very very cheap burner.

 

[rseraji]

Cheap as in price or quality?

 

[Burticus]

Dongtran:

You're allowed to post rebates, just not coupons.

 

[Zwingle]

JD....If it does not specifically say &quot;Limit xx rebates per household&quot; there is no limit period. You can send copies of the receipt as long as they are clean copies. I always send copies if allowed. You will get 2 - $50 rebate checks in the mail and not neccesarily at the same time. Hope this helps.

 

[hoihtah]

darn...
i checked 5 different staples in the north shore, mass.
no luck.

one of the csr said that there's 4 at salem, mass... but when i got there... they said that it was a wrong info given. shucks.

i'm still looking.

 

[MaxDepth]

Morons abound in the Raleigh store (North Millbrook). Absolutely refused to look in the back room or check on the computer for any in stock. Held fast to the mantra &quot;we only sell what is on the shelf.&quot;

hatemail to staples.com for this one.

Even if there aren't any, don't you think customer sat. should play a role here?

I wonder how far away the Fayetville store is to me....
