    Hey guys/gals,

    I recently came across this thread @ Fatwallet.com:

    http://www.fatwallet.com/t/18/470462

    I ended up finalizing my purchase a few moments ago & it came to ONLY $29 after taxes/shipping!!!

    The deal, in order to get the price, requires you to place an online order for this: http://www.staples.com/Catalog/Browse/Sku.asp?PageType=1&Sku=560772

    & apply 2 coupons that can be obtained on Ebay that will reduce your upfront cost to $105 plus tax.

    Then, contact Staples @ 1-800-378-2753 or via email for their 110% price match guarantee to that of Buy.com:

    http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=10352499&loc=101&hdwt=0&sp=1

    They then add the difference back to your creditcard (in my case $96+)...Bringing it down to JUST $9 + tax + cost of Ebay coupons:

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=31411&item=5578898655&rd=1

    (That's the seller I purchased from)

    AMDemon,

    Just checking up before trying this, but doesn't Staples invalidate their price match guarantee on orders where coupons or the such are applied? Let us know if everything goes through OK. If it does, then that's an awsome deal, I'll definitely give this a shot. Good luck.

    That's true, technically their policy states blatantly that such an example would not work...However, all evidence of this deal is to the contrary [^]...Everyone who has contacted them, so far, except a couple, have received full 110% back (but, we won't know 4sure until the charge appears on our creditcards)
