You just named the REAL deal... if they gave the lower price to everyone then they would loose that much.. but if they force you to send IN the requirements for rebate they ARE betting most won't bother to go to all THAT trouble which usually is a real hassle and then they don't HAVE to rebate so that much they keep.... I had to go thru 4 different set ups to get $300 back on a system.. and you have to be carefull to make SURE all the rules are followed, copies here but not THERE and this one wanst a copy of THAT but not this....and it took over 3 months to get ALL the $$$ back. I finally got it all tho. ml ----- Original Message ----- From: "~OoO~" <SirTroth@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Ãngè" <pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, June 28, 2006 1:10 PM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: Special Deals & Steals > Sorry to hear that the rebates are not as readily available outside the > U.S. They should get rid of rebates altogether and give us the item for > the better price... then, poor saps like me won't forget to send in the > rebate, which is what they hope for in the first place! > :o( > > ====================================== > = SirTroth > = ICQ: 1717439 > = AIM/AOL: SirTrothX > = YAHOO: SirTroth > = MSN: SirTroth@xxxxxxxxxxx (don't email me here) > ====================================== > > On Wed, 28 Jun 2006 12:27:09 +0100, Ãngè wrote: >> It's really great for you in the States ~ to my knowledge we don't >> get rebates ~ I wouldn't know where to look either. lol >> >> Ange >> No longer "Clueless" but struggling!!¿!! >> >> ----- Original Message ----- >> From: "~OoO~" >> To: "PCTechTalk" >> Sent: Sunday, June 25, 2006 1:46 PM >> Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Special Deals & Steals >> >> >> For the power-storage-hungry! >> >> CompUSA >> Seagate 500GB hard drive >> item #339973 >> $199.99 after rebate >> >> CompUSA >> Seagate 300GB hard drive >> item #338818 (or #338872 for SATA) >> $99.99 after rebate >> >> Circuit City >> Seagate 300GB hard drive >> item #ST330631ARK >> $89.99 after rebate >> >> Circuit City >> Sandisk 2GB USB 2.0 Cruzer Micro Thumb Drive >> item #SDCZ62D48A10 >> $59.99 after rebate >> >> Best Buy >> Seagate 120GB hard drive >> item #ST3120026A-RK >> $49.99 after rebate >> >> ====================================== >> = SirTroth >> = ICQ: 1717439 >> = AIM/AOL: SirTrothX >> = YAHOO: SirTroth >> = MSN: SirTroth@xxxxxxxxxxx (don't email me here) >> ====================================== >> >> -- >> >> >> To unsub or change your email settings: >> //www.freelists.org/webpage/pctechtalk >> >> To access our Archives: >> http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PCTechTalk/messages/ >> //www.freelists.org/archives/pctechtalk/ >> >> >> -- >> >> >> To unsub or change your email settings: >> //www.freelists.org/webpage/pctechtalk >> >> To access our Archives: >> http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PCTechTalk/messages/ >> //www.freelists.org/archives/pctechtalk/ > > > -- > <Please delete this line and everything below.> > > To unsub or change your email settings: > //www.freelists.org/webpage/pctechtalk > > To access our Archives: > http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PCTechTalk/messages/ > //www.freelists.org/archives/pctechtalk/ > > -- <Please delete this line and everything below.> To unsub or change your email settings: //www.freelists.org/webpage/pctechtalk To access our Archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PCTechTalk/messages/ //www.freelists.org/archives/pctechtalk/
