Make $11 by picking up an M$ optical wheel mouse @ Best Buy

[Blade Runner]

I just ripped this off a forum that ripped it off another forum....

Note! If you have participated in the Microsoft rebate for this product this year, then you are not eligible for another rebate. The Microsoft rebate originally ended on June 30, but has since been extended to September 30.


Best Buy has the Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical for $24.99 - $15 manufacturer rebate this week (page 29).

Office Depot has the same item for $19.99 - $5.00 instant rebate = $14.99 (page 6).

Go to Best Buy and buy mouse, then go to Customer Service and price match to Office Depot. You pay:

$24.99 Best Buy
$11.00- 110% PM to Office Depot
$15.00- Best Buy rebate
$10.00- Microsoft Manufacturer rebate
-------
$11.01-

plus tax (if applicable) and stamp for rebate.

Ok, here are the links:

Link (http://www.bestbuy.com/RebateCenter/policy.asp?o=27156&e=11087812&s=4297451) to Best Buy $15 rebate for model D66-00021 (newer version) of this mouse
Link (http://www.bestbuy.com/RebateCenter/policy.asp?o=27156&e=11159898&s=4622634) to Best Buy $15 rebate for model D66-00029 (older version) of this mouse
Link (http://www.bestbuy.com/RebateCenter/policy.asp?o=25881&e=11087812&s=4297451) to (at BestBuy.com) Microsoft $10 rebate for model D66-00021 (newer version) of this mouse...I suspect Microsoft will accept this form for model D66-00029 as well, but to be safe, just use the alternate form below.
Link (http://www.staples.com/Products/Rebates/09_30_02_Microsoft470610.pdf) to (at Staples.com) Microsoft $10 rebate for either version of this mouse. This is essentially the same rebate (same address) as the one above. I have called the Microsoft rebate center and this form is acceptable for either model of the mouse and they will accept a printout of this coupon for the rebate.

As noted above, the D66-00021 model # of this mouse is a newer revision than the D66-00029 model. These model #s will be on the Microsoft product label found on top of the retail box. Both boxes will say "Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical". The D66-00021 model will have an additional feature listed as "Three Programmable Buttons" that will not be found anywhere on the D66-00029 retail box.

Also the D66-00021 has a portion that is Black in color. The D66-00029 is a slightly transparent white-ish blue-ish color.

$11 bucks is what it would cost me in gas to drag my ass up to the mall and do all that :unsure:

Well normally I'd atack the "evil Empire" with this, but since I have the old "version 2.x" mouse in silver on my desk, and an Alienware "NOVA YELLOW" Intellimouse of the same variety on my Alienware PC, conected also on the des, I'm not going to bother. I will also remind you that this is advertising and I'l only allow it this once.

That wouldn't have worked here at least, Best Buy would have realized the manufacturer's rebate made it less than would Office Depot was selling it for and not done a price match.

...No it isn't.

Advertising would be if he were linking to his own site or something to get people to go there and hang out. In this case, however, he isn't after any personal gain.

This is a thread telling people how to make $11 (Although I'm not exactly sure why anyone wants to go through all this trouble for $11, but oh well).

I think it's time for someone named Cyrax to read over the forum rules again or something.
