Default The "Deal" Thread

I'm a sucker for deals, when I find one I just can't pass it up. So post what you feel is an unbelievable deal below, and maybe you'll help some fellow CP'ers out.

Can be on anything, travel, electronics, flames stuff... you name it.

Nice... I may have to pick one up.

Good Deal - The guy who I bought my SUV off of 2 years ago.. Looking back on it, I took one up the hooper! (even though I got a kick ass buy on it at the time).

HAHA! Holy link! Anyhow, I don't usually use Crappy Tire brand tools, BUT, I was given a couple from this "Maximum" line and they are fantastic. Really durable. If any do-it-yourself types don't have a reciprocating saw, go buy one! Best tool in my workshop.

Damn, that's half price. I just bought a 2nd receiver from Best Buy last month, should have waited.

Is that Acer stuff, you know, good?

It's sort of a corny, low-rent sounding name and I've never bought anything from them. There is a pretty good deal on a big monitor there though so I'm thinking of it.

Check that thread, there's some mention of references to people who liked it I think.

Bought an acer laptop a few weeks ago and I love it ... great screen.

I think they have been making monitors for a long time. I would place them above the budget brands you can find at futureshop/bestbuy etc. but not really in the same relm of the panasonics/sony/sharp tv's

Actually, I believe that Acer makes a lot of the monitors and computers and such for people like Panasonic and Sony and then the bigger companies put their names on them. I was told this by someone who works at Memory Express when looking for a new laptop. He gave me a link to it so I will see if I can find it for everyone.

I think there are only 4 or 5 companies that make the actual panels for all other companies; but each company does do their own electronics within the TV, and that makes a huge difference, as well.

My very first computer was an Acer. It was very good.

I had my ACER for 6 months and I had to ship it back because it would not stay powered up with the plug in. They had to put a new motherboard in it and since then its been fine for the last 5 months

I bought my 360 Premium system for $499. The extra wireless controller cost me $59.99 + tax. Just today I read on the EA Sports board that Best Buy is selling a Premium system with a 2nd controller for $499.

I don't know if this is valid though, I just read it from some kid on a message board.
