Comment on iPhone 3G Refurb by StevenJ

The iphone really is the next evolutionary step in the mobile device. Many have tried to realize the convergence of phone and PC, but Apple with its Iphone is the first to find the mark.

Prior to the iphone it was hardware that made the phone. Apple has changed that and its the seamless integration of hardware and software that has made what is possibly the best consumer product in the last 25 years.

Comment on Start off 2009 with the Perfect Christmas Present: Jewelry by Russell

Hey guys buyer beware. Last year I bought some earrings from this seller and they were not as described. In fact the earrings were supposed to be graded VVS stones and they were I or worse. I returned them and this company was reluctant to give me a full refund. Anyway, I ended up only missing out on the shipping and insurance for about 50 bucks. I would never recommend buying from this seller!!!

Comment on Westinghouse or Sony - You Make the Call by David

The Westinghouse does not support 1080p, only 1080i. The Buy.com site inconsistently lists both as the max capability, but it is impossible to display 1080p with only a 1366×768 display. It looks to me that is a typo on Buy.com’s part.

While the snow thrower and Table saw are both extremely manly items, claiming to have “Stars” on your Man Card? Revocable offense. By the power vested in my by my website, OfficialManCard.com, your Man Card has been revoked.

Oh Jack, you have been watching too much Ice Road Truckers. “going out on the frozen tundra before the game” …that was the giveaway. But, chicks really do dig men with table saws, so I’ll let your tundra comment (and your muscle flexing) slide.

I was able to add it to my cart this morning while I was at work and then I was able to pay and download the collection at home once I logged into my account. Otherwise, I would not have been able to enjoy this great deal. Thanks Jack!!

Comment on All-in-One Printer at an Amazing Price by Jack

tye,

I think that’s true with any rebate offer. I’ve heard enough stories about rebates not being fulfilled to write a book.

We did research this rebate, and it does appear to work for Office Depot, as OD is a qualified reseller and someone I know called in and supposedly confirmed that the rebate works with OD. Having said that, your mileage may vary, so be careful, and if you can’t afford to lose $200, I wouldn’t take the gamble–even if there was no question whatsoever about the legitimacy of a rebate.

Word of caution…the rebate clearly says, “Offer good on purchases…with qualifying reseller ads.” How well does bargain jack research these offers? Is it possible that I’ll shell out the whole amount and then not get a rebate?
