Hey guys....Sorry if this is a repost, and those who know me know Im not bullshitting on this....I just picked up two flat screen ( not the real thin monitors,) Compaq FS7550 17" monitor for $40 at Staples--They retail for $350 bucks

Info is here:

Basically, You price match at Staples with this web site listed in the link, and below:

Price match here: http://www.compuvest.com

Search for and then you use Compaq's mail in rebate ( $150)

Rebate Form:

http://products.hp-at-home.com/offer..._bundle_us.pdf

and you get the monitor basically free...

Staples matches any websites price as long as the website has the monitor in stock....Bring along Staples 110% Price match policy which you can print out from their web page

--It was great , I got no flak whatsoever--Until after the transaction was complete and the rebate coupons started printing out!!! Too late!

And the price match policy worked against them BIG TIME!

I love it!

Monitors come w/ JBL speakers as well--they are decent!

Good Luck!

 

thnx im getting one tommrow! and im gonna use it as a x-mas gift for someone

 

Seriously, do it! I was so shocked that it worked! But their policy works against them....Just make sure you print out the ad from Compuvest--Staples may or may not try and call them to verify that they are for real so they will need the number...

Good luck! And do, do it quick- before Staples shuts this down

 

and thank you to chinisimo for hooking me up!!!

 

im confused..looks like it's 140$ not 40???

 

YES!!! THANK YOU!



Nope...Go to Staples--Monitors are $350
Bring the Compuvest ad which has 'em for $160

You pay $144 --> 184 ( depends on if Staples is smart enough to charge you shipping when they <b>price match</b>)

Then you send in the $150 rebate form

So at the most, this would cost you is $40 some odd dollars

 

silverbullet also asked me this. wonder if it worked for him

 

So if Compuvest has them for 160, why dont you just get it from them, and use the 150 rebate ?

It'll cost you $10

 

wouldn't the folks receiving the Compaq rebate form figure out that you paid only $144? And they're cutting you a check for $150? I'm really doubting this will work because you have to send in a receit stating how much you paid.

And since my corp has the fatwallet link blocked, could you tell me the specific model number for that Compaq monitor? thanks...

 

 

The odds are they'll send you the rebate for $144. Don't forget you also have to factor in your local tax... plus they'll probably want to match with shipping costs as well.....

 

i'm not sure if compuvest is an authorized dealer. plus if you get it at staples, anything wrong, you can still take it back.

 

BTW... I just did this at lunch... came to $173 and change.. minus the rebate... $23 bucks baby

 

but who says they will give you the rebate, you have to mail it in right?????

 

DAMN! This shiat is sweet. I'm picking up 2 of them up Friday when I get back down to Virginia!

 

but i think this is a 1/address deal. unless you ahve somewhere else you can have the rebate sent to. write down your neighbor's address w/ your name. so if you neighbor got your mail, they'll probably give it to you. unless they are tricks and hate you.

 

NYKEEROCKA - yes.. you have to mail it in.. however, I'm not worried about it. The Staples computer showed I was eligible for the rebate and even printed out the form on the receipt!! Worst case scenerio.. I'll sell it for $200 or so... no biggie

Chinisimo - I read all of the fine print on the rebate form and it does not say any limit one per address or anything. What it says (over and over) is that you need the original receipt and bar code for EACH qualifying product. No joke... the word "each" is capitalized... so it sounds like you can do several.. as long as you have the documentation, you should be good.... I'm probably going to buy another one on Saturday if my wife approves....

 

Ahhh--Beautiful

 

so u can really get this monitor for ... 30 bucks or so after the rebate?? ... would i mail in the rebate slip that the link is to ?? or does one print out after i purchase it???

MaCe

 

We don't have Staples in Houston

 

bl^5, buy it online or call them.

good deal juniorbean. thanks. I really dont' need a monitor now. so i'm just hooking my ppl up.

 

Just went to Staples and got it...

Came out to 190 and change, because the guy charged for overnight shipping ...other then that it went pretty smoothly, except that the guy lied at first and said he didnt have internet access to check the overnight shipping price...

Still cheap though...hopefully there will be no problems with the rebate

 

did you guys crash compuvest.com? I haven't been able to get on the site for a while now...

 

waiting for rebates suck....

 

so I haven't been able to get on Compuvest's site. Other than printing out the actual HTML page w/ the product listed on their, how else am I suppose to prove to Staples the product is cheaper?

 

i cant get onto the site either!

What to do what to do...:?

 

DISREGARD last post.

I finally got to the site, and was able to print it.


I reserved the LAST one they have up the street from my office. Going there after work. Thanks for posting this! They have it for $349!!!

 

Sweet--Enjoy!

 

Thanks so much for sharing this info. Knowledge is Power. Unfortunately, I cannot get into the compuvest site right now. I'll try later. I personally don't need a 17" monitor, but I'm sure a friend somewhere might.

 

THAT IS FOR A REFURB UNIT--rebate not applicable

new at PCMall it is $355
