Rebirth Posted November 12, 2004 Posted November 12, 2004 Thanx. Compusa has loads of stuff on sale before and after Thanksgiving.
Morphx2 Posted November 12, 2004 Posted November 12, 2004 Yes! GeForce 6800 for 200 bucks after rebates! Unless Best Buy can do better, im gonna snatch that up on black friday!!!
Brad Posted November 12, 2004 Author Posted November 12, 2004 I linked as many of the CompUSA items to the web site as I could find. CompUSA usually has several of the items available on the web site as well.
IP Freely Posted November 12, 2004 Posted November 12, 2004 A couple of questions: Are these CompUsa rebates or manufacturer rebates? I have been told to stay away from CompUsa rebates because many people have had problems getting their rebates.
Brad Posted November 12, 2004 Author Posted November 12, 2004 The person that e-mailed to me lists them as MMIR, which I assume means manufacturer mail-in rebates, but I don't know if that is really the case. We won't know until we get the actual ad, and even that probably won't say either way.
elena_398 Posted November 12, 2004 Posted November 12, 2004 shoot, there is some stuff my hubby wants, but no CompUSA around me. Closest I found from the web site was in Fairlawn, 32 miles from me. All well
Dust N Bones Posted November 13, 2004 Posted November 13, 2004 I hate compusa. Every time I've ever tried to buy something there they have nagged about purchasing an extended warranty. Like non stop. If the first salesman doesn't convince me then he sends another person over to try and convince me to get the warranty. I was told recently that the sales person doesn't get comission unless they sell an extended warranty with any item over $100.
dolan007 Posted November 13, 2004 Posted November 13, 2004 Personally I love CompUsa. I've always gotten all my rebates back. Rules are to photocopy all your info, UPC etc. Write down all the info about mailing address and tel. # on rebates. Some rebates you do online. All has been good and I am going to try to get the $1499 plasma this year
LotsatiArma Posted November 14, 2004 Posted November 14, 2004 Its odd to me that some of the sale is 4-10pm, now im not sure when to get there.. was gonna be ready to get there at 2am, but thats not neccessary..?
RossMAN Posted November 14, 2004 Posted November 14, 2004 Its odd to me that some of the sale is 4-10pm, now im not sure when to get there.. was gonna be ready to get there at 2am, but thats not neccessary..?Until we see the final ad we're not sure if that's the day before Thanksgiving or Black Friday.

gordita Posted November 15, 2004 Posted November 15, 2004 which is the $1499 Plasma TV on BF ? is it the Daewoo?
Brad Posted November 15, 2004 Author Posted November 15, 2004 The ad says "model varies by store" so it's probably a really cheap model they got for BF only.
lesliepear Posted November 16, 2004 Posted November 16, 2004 6 Hour Special Sale: Starts 4:00PM until 10:00PM. LIMITED SUPPLIES!!! Centon 512Mb DDR2700 Desktop RAM: $74.99 -$45 MMIR (1 Per Customer.) Does anyone know if this memory will fit a Dell Dimension 2400 desktop. Does CUSA allow UNOPENED memory to be returned? My husband's PC DESPERATELY needs memory!
MisterBill Posted November 16, 2004 Posted November 16, 2004 A couple of questions: Are these CompUsa rebates or manufacturer rebates? I have been told to stay away from CompUsa rebates because many people have had problems getting their rebates.People who complain about CompUSA rebates have not done them in a long time and are reporting based on bad experiences they had when TCA was handling them (and CompUSA was paying them slowly). I did some CompUSA funded rebates a few months ago at web-rebates.com (Mesa, AZ) and got paid very quickly. Now, the problem is, most of these are likely manufacturer's rebates, and on those, it's pot luck because each manufacturer is different, and some are very good, but many are very bad.
Jaidensmom Posted November 16, 2004 Posted November 16, 2004 I'm dying right now! Compusa has 10gig ipods for sale for 129.00...YES thats right I said 129.00!!! PICK UP ONLY!!!!! Arghhh there are no compusa stores anywhere near me. I checked availability for any friends or family I knew out of state and couldn't find a store that had them in stock. If anyone does happen to find one in stock somewhere give me a shout. I am just sick over this , it would have made christmas awesome here....damn them!
Brad Posted November 16, 2004 Author Posted November 16, 2004 Yeah I saw that iPod deal yesterday. None around me either. Would have been nice - 10GB is the perfect capacity for what I need.
Jaidensmom Posted November 16, 2004 Posted November 16, 2004 LOL I'm glad I'm not the only one who was drooling over this deal. I was even hoping I might be able to get some store to pm that but I've got no clue who would have a 10 gig in stock. Got any ideas Brad? Anybody here a expert Pm 'er? PS: Brad did you also see the 15 gig for 179.00? You might get lucky and find one in stock.
MisterBill Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 So, since CompUSA will hold in-store pickup orders for 72 hours, if I were to place an order now for one of the Wednesday 4pm FAR's, it should still be there waiting for me when I get there on Wednesday, right? Knowing CompUSA, I think the odds of anyone getting around to reshelving the item early is kind of slim... ..although the manager who pulled my last item might not be thrilled to see my name again since I told him off last week, after I showed up to pick up my item and had to wait for 10 minutes while some salesperson was giving a sales pitch on the benefits of a wireless network in the middle of a transaction at the pick-up desk (where he shouldn't have been to begin with). No one bothered to offer to help me even though there were people standing around while I was waiting. I finally found another copy of the program that I ordered on the shelf (with CompUSA you don't actually get charged until you pick it up so if you don't pick it up, it's no big deal) and bought it at a regular cashier, after which I found the manager and told him off :-).
WackyW Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 Personally I love CompUsa. I've always gotten all my rebates back. Rules are to photocopy all your info, UPC etc. Write down all the info about mailing address and tel. # on rebates. Some rebates you do online. All has been good and I am going to try to get the $1499 plasma this year Do you know which one this is going to be?? All the BF ad says is " 42" Plasma TV w/ Stand - $1499.99 AR" THanks for the heads up and any info if anyone knows.
Conscript Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 Wacky, I think that 42" Plasma is going to be the Daewoo just because thats the cheapest 42" plasma they have now. That means its more releastic they drop the price on it just a little more than on another one more steeply.
Brad Posted November 22, 2004 Author Posted November 22, 2004 Wacky, I think that 42" Plasma is going to be the Daewoo just because thats the cheapest 42" plasma they have now. That means its more releastic they drop the price on it just a little more than on another one more steeply.The Daewoo is in the same ad for $1799, so that's unlikely I would think. I'm thinking it's a one-time-only model they ordered just for BF
Conscript Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 Yeah, I guess a new model we're not aware of for BF only makes more sense in that case.
