[$399 AR Clearance laptops at Circuit City]

Good idea CheapArse! I will try mailing in the rebate like that since there was no box. Appreciate the anti virus/spyware links Rossman ~

[$399 AR Clearance laptops at Circuit City]

Thanks for the deal info CheapArse and the link Rossman! Just got back from purchasing the Toshiba for my teenage son. Went to our local CC @ 10am when they opened. None in stock. CC searched their computer for the Compaq which was SOLD OUT throughout Minnesota. Found 1 "open box" Toshiba 1 hour from our home, and he bought it. Price came up @ $449 with no rebate since it was an "open box". My son is thrilled to own his first lappy:sidesplit Just hope I steered him in the right direction with this deal. Seems like a very good value to me and hopefully will meet his needs. Now I need to find the forum advising on antivirus and spyware to protect his investment. GOTTA LOVE GOTTADEAL!

Usually when there is a 1.00 charge, its not an actual charge. its usually just a hold. Maybe your local video store or something. They do that every so ofter (6 mo, year, whatever) to make sure the CC# you give them is still active. But if its still there next week, may be worth pursuing.

Thanks for info. It's weird though 'cause I rarely use that card and watch it closely. APPRECIATE THE RESPONSE!

That same kind of thing happened to me 2 years ago at Best Buy with a Black Friday Doorbuster DVD burner. The item in the box was not the item. Neither Best Buy, the manufacturer, the police, my credit card company, or Best Buy HQ in Minnesota would help. Finally after 6 months of letter writing, talking to China, Minnesota, San Jose, sending faxes. filing court papers, the BBB finally resolved it and I received a full credit, letter of apology, and the item. Now I always open the box at the counter. Sealed or not.

:fryingpan Yeah, I see what u mean. I was speaking of the above and should have been more specific.

Visa fraud department just call me to verfiy my purchases. There is a charge from ARCOT SYSTEMS made on the same day I ordered BB Toshiba online. They listed it as "professional services" . It was only for $1, but could it be they charged all of us $1...you think?

 

Did anyone else get this charge?
