Maxtor 120 GB $68 + TAX A/R

MrPopman · Apr 7, 2003

Thought I would pass this on from Fatwallet :

For those of you who missed this a couple of weeks ago, here it is again.

Fry's B&M have this drive on sale for $119.99 w/ an additional $30 MIR. Model number is L01J100 ... same as the one at Staples. Here's the link to Staples for the drive .

So, the deal is this at Staples. You can call Staples at 800-333-3330 to do this deal or you should be able to do this at the B&M if you have a Fry's nearby.

$139.99

-22 PM

-20 ($20 off $100) coupon

-30 MIR

=========

$67.99

Staples $30MIR Link

$20 coupon code: 37126 $20 off $100 (4/15/03 exp)

I just called this in and got the price.

Found all of this at Staples as you said, but one question?

What's the -22 PM?

Mike Cornwell · Apr 7, 2003

Price Match ($20), plus 10%.

shaber · Apr 7, 2003

Got it! Thanks.

Nipsy · Apr 7, 2003

$84 AR all in for me.

They charged me Fry's delivery fees ($7.05), and my local tax (8.25%).

I'm going to order another one later, and hopefully won't have to pay the $7.05 with a less alert rep.

Nipsy · Apr 7, 2003

$76.07 AR all in on the second one to the office address.

Can't complain about 240GB for $160...well, I can. I'll probably call back and argue the shipping on the first one.

How do you get staples to do the Price Match...I don't have the Frys orginal paper....will Staples take my word over the phone that Frys has it for 119?

Thanks.....in need of storage...my wife really has a thing for those damn dawsons river kids.....

get the phone number of your local fry's...tell them you want to price-match & they'll ask for the number

shaber · Apr 7, 2003

I think I'm out of luck on the price match since I don't have a local Fry's in DC. I check the wording of their price match policy, and they're clear that they exclude internet sales sites. From what I've read on other boards, some people get it when they ask for it (can't hurt) and some don't. I think it depends on how familiar the CSR is with the policy. Thanks for the info. It's still a good deal with the coupon and mail-in rebate!

Thanks....that make sense....let staples so the leg work if they want to prove that it is that price.

Also, can I just walk into my local Staples and do this. If so, how do I get the 20 dollars off of 100 dollars??? Do they have fliers in the store?

Thanks again,

Jimmy

To much work. Does anyone just offer a good price from the get-go and not have to jump over rebate hoops.

btw: MrPopman thanks for the tip

Yeah, just point them to the SJ Merc referenced in the ad above.

15 minutes on the phone to save $40 per drive vs. a GOOD retail price is only worth it if you make less the $160 an hour.

I still do....damnit.

macmac · Apr 7, 2003

How do you buy more than one when the rebates say limited to one per household etc. etc.?

jones07 · Apr 8, 2003

Give a friend the money to buy one for you

Staples now has the Maxtor 120GB drive for net cost of $89.99.
http://www.staples.com/products/Spot...6/Default.asp?

The prices is $109.99 minus $20.00 internet coupon available here http://free.hostdepartment.com/c/cou...arp14_2003.htm

The coupon is good through Sat. 4/19.

I don't know if any further discount is available thru price match.

Best Buy has the 120GB maxtor drive with 8Mb cache for $109.99.

jchef · Apr 15, 2003

Note that the Staples drive is the 2mb cache model (unless they have some of the mis-labled batch that were being sold a few weeks back...)

Fry's has a 200GB WD drive for $150 after rebate in the stores or $170 online.

DerekL · Apr 18, 2003

I saw the deal on the WD 2000 also. Anyone tried this drive in a ShowStopper? Any know issues? (Sorry I tried to do a search for this but the search does not seem to be working).

At least you tried!

I wonder if anyone in upper-management at Frys reads these forums. Just in case they do:

PLEASE open some stores in the northeast. (NYC or Jersey in particular)

I love Frys. One of the few things I liked about all my time out west.
