320 gb notebook HD (2.5-inch), 7200 rpm, 16 mb cache - $75.99

If you are think of spending $76, you might also consider spending just $2 more, and getting the new ultra-efficient, 500GB Hitachi 5K500.B drive. It is also available at ZZF now for $78 after a $10 rebate. http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/...p?ProductCode=10010134 It's probably pretty...

DEAD: 24 Rechargeable (Low Self Discharge) 2300maH AA batteries : $18.69 AC - FREE shipping

Mine are working great, and seem to hold close to their full charge over at least several months, but I have to do some more systematic testing to get actual numbers. Regarding their actual capacity in mAh, I have no way to measure it (i.e. with a higher end Maha or Lacrosse charger). But...

highpoint, did you get the regular 2600 mAh batteries as an unrequested substitute earlier on, and if so, do they say anything to you about returning them at this point?

DEAD: 24 Rechargeable (Low Self Discharge) 2300maH AA batteries : $18.69 AC - FREE shipping

I had an e-mail conversation about this with the all-battery customer service rep (Lydia Del Real) back when it happened. Probably many of you have a similar story. Anyway, I told her I specifically wanted the R2U variety, so she noted it on my order. I just logged into my account there...

Welcome, vilos. Sucks to have to make the exchange, but it will be free. I got 24 pieces of these in May 2008 soon after they were released, and I used them extensively this summer for a few weeks with great success. I've used them less frequentely since then, but they've always held a charge...

Thanks for the suggestions, highpoint. I've shortened it to just the website name, and it still comes up as asterisks, so it seems to be off-limits here for some reason.

Can't seem to find a reason for the asterisk substitution--somebody want to clue me in?

Hmmm, seems like the company website name was replaced by asterisks in my post immediately above--maybe now they don't want us to mention this website? Guess I'll read the forum FAQs here to see if I can find an explanation.

Their RMA policy says they'll pay for return shipping if they send the wrong item, so definitely seems like this will be on their dime. See http://www.*****/requestrma.aspx. So this is just an inconvenience to have to deal with this, but as you all know bargain hunting is often filled with...

Just got mine in today's mail, and the buggers sent me their regular NiMH rechargeables (i.e. their 2600mAh capacity light blue ones with the dark blue base) instead of the LSD version. I will write them about a swap/RMA now which I expect to be completely on their dime. This is frustrating...

Probably you have an answer by now, but if not, their LSD batteries are almost all white with about 1 cm of orange at the base.

Epson Perfection 4870 Photo scanner $332 AR

There seems to be a generic (e.g. not retailer-specific) $50 rebate available for the Epson Perfection 4870 Photo scanner. The rebate is currently hosted at Buy.com, and that's the only place I have seen it. The link is: http://ak.buy.com/buy_assets/r...231hc_50EpsonP4870.pdf I have...

Yes, I guess this is a possibility, but if it happens to be the motivation behind this recent change, well, it's a shame. I have no problem using legitimate coupons and rebates to put together a good deal, but in my opinion, double-dipping like this is definitely not appropriate. --verbage

~~~~ Rebate Tracking Thread ~~~~

Greetings fellow Hot Dealers, Apparently, there has been a slight policy change regarding online rebate submissions (e.g. staplesrebates.com) for items purchased at B&M Staples stores. Nowadays, you must include the original rebate form printed out on B&M cash register tape even if...
