OK, i'm doing my thesis and need like 10 of them (personal cd players), so the cheaper the better! I heard about Office Depot having them for $4 something, but they arent in my area anymore for that deal...anything else anyone knows of?

Wal-mart usually has them for under $10.00 :gdlicklips:

This is very interesting. If you go online to Office Depoot and type in CD player in the search, you will see a list of items available. If you add a 148 to the number, the price goes down. Example:
Portable CD Player (Item # 477769) It comes up as $29.99
If you add 148477769 it comes up as only $4.25.......:eek: I have no idea why, I read this on another site. It doesn't work on all items, but it worked for the CD player! Good luck and let us know.....I think I will play around awhile.....:yup:

Holy crap! I can't believe that worked! I just got 3 and my co-worker got 2. Says they're being shipped today and should be here tomorrow.

THANK YOU SO MUUUUCCH for telling us about that! This is incredible!! I have 2 (of 5) kids I've "adopted" for xmas (from 1079thelink . com) that asked for cd players and now I can be assured they'll get that, in addition to their other toys.

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

P.S. This is the one I got to work: 477769

I also got the price to change on this one: 851304

From $29.04 to $19.36

And this one: 355232 $69.99 down to $19.34

Mini digital camera: Sku: 431604 Regular $ 29.99 (with 148 -) $10.75

3 in 1 digital camera/webcam: sku: 743592 Normally: $12.45 (w/148) $6.23

It seems like the only items on their site that work with the 148 code are non-name brand items, maybe items that they use for promotions through-out the year. I believe people get the discontinued message based upon their geographic location.. whether or not their local store/stockroom has them on site.

What about searching for a local charity that's organizing xmas gifts for underprivlidged kids? I know two of our local radio stations are doing that.. You could also check with the Salvation Army.. They usually do something like that.
