Data Storage - huge discount on Amazon.ca
I've been waiting for these to come on sale enough before buying one. I was just on Amazon.ca, and their 1, 2, and 3 TB storage devices are on for a huge huge discount.
I just picked up
http://www.amazon.ca/Seagate-Backup-...&keywords=3+tb
Regular price is nearly $300, for only $120. The 1 TB ones are on for $80 and the two TB ones around $100.

Conclusion: Amazon was way over-priced to begin with?

It's just how amazon works. They take the original MSRP and then show the discount from that. It was probably 150 for a long time before that with a 50% discount.
I'm more surprised when I don't see something discounted on Amazon as prices don't stay at original MSRP very long.

Sometimes shopbot will show a lower price for a store too, I don't know if it's just a delay or if its the store actually showing a lower price to the shopbot crawler to try and attract people.
Amazon sometimes has good prices too tho.

We are so lucky to have memory express here in Calgary. I bought a 3TB usb 3.0 Mybook from them 6 months ago for $110.

Sometimes shopbot is behind in their prices, showing last weeks sale price.
Yeah it sure pays to comparison shop, even if it's for a few dollars. I hate it when I buy something and later after my impulse is over I check and find I could have got it for cheaper. I do a lot of on line buying as there is limited choices in this small town. Recently I finally dipped into ebay for some satellite parts and it went okay although I prefer established places with brick and mortar stores.

Neat! Canada Post used to have something similar for some sites but it seemed to go away.
