Yep, those of us who purchased the Little Tikes JamCam because the Barbie one was out of stock are golden!!! I couldn't believe it when I found the rebate for it -- $40 woohoo. Here it is:

Now, if anyone feels like telling me how to get my Flooz up to oh about $10,000 so I can get a plasma flat screen TV, I'm all ears!

Forget to mention I also got the attache case http://www.gotapex.com/ubb/smile.gif So, the total, after the ZIP, JamCam, $20 instant rebate, Attache case, and $40 JamCam rebate is a whopping $11

I love the internet, and thank you to all the Apex members I've been mooching from for the last month.

Ok here is the better price!http://www.msbcd.com/Catalog_Type.asp?ProductCode=24444&Session=238878409
They have it for 49.95 before the 40 dollar rebate making it 9.95 after. Now how will staples price match it freenet?

The reabte says at participating retailers only. Does anyone know if this'll work? I don't want to cut off the UPC if it isn't going to work. Also I checked buy.com (who has it for 55.95) and they make no mention of the rebate.

The rebate gets better and better. I called the phone number, 1-877-776-3493 and asked one of the reps about the rebate. First off, there is no designation of who is a participating retailer. That is, you can buy it from whomever you like as long as you get a receipt. And secondly, there is NO LIMIT. Yep, you could purchase 50 of these things and send in the rebates for all 50. Shop away!

i think that it would be the other way around AJ. Ken would want to know what happens when the poolboy comes every wednesday. For some reason that pool never gets clean...

Staples parts just arrived. Only took 1 day!!!

Fast service. Now I need to see how much my credit card was charged. Looks on the receipt like I did indeed get the ZIP, camera, and attache case at the great price, but I'll call my credit card company just to make sure.

Thanks again to all here for the heads up on this deal!!!

I was gonna pricematch at the 49.95 but I realized that would put me under $50 so I pricematched with buy.com (55.95) and that went through. Heres the email........

Can anyone email me the specifics about this deal? I have been looking all day for the codes and can't find an original post that details the specifics. Thanks. [email protected]

Okay, I'm lost. What is this deal again? I understand that some camera has a rebate.. but what does it have to do with Staples and a Zip drive?

BTW.. bought a BRAND NEW CAR last night... WOOHOO!!!!!!!! 7.70% interest

The deal started at the beginning of the week and was at staples, buy any digital camera and get a zip drive free. People bought the Jam cam, WWF slam cam, and barbie cams for little money (between rebates and/or price matches) and got the zip drive with it for free. But staples is in on it, and at last report there are few cameras or zip drives left and people haven't been able to do the deal since yesterday. Even the b&m stores have been warned and have pulled merchandise off the shelves according to some of the other boards. A few people that got in on the deal late have said they got the orders in on time, received only the camera and not the zip. They may have to return them. So it looks like this deal is pretty much dead if you didn't get in on it by tuesday or wednesday.

The point of the post was that, while the original deal Staples had was awesome, those of us who got in on the deal the fastest were able to purchase the cheap web cameras and get the deal. I purchased the Jamcam Jr. because the Barbie one was sold out. Unbeknownst to me, the Jamcam had a rebate in addition, so after getting all that stuff, I found the $40 rebate, which brought the whole deal down to an amazing $11 or thereabouts. There were so many codes and rebates involved in that deal that I can't remember them all, but it was truly amazing. Too bad they canned the deal for everyone else after about 15 hours http://www.gotapex.com/ubb/frown.gif

MaggieOK: what car?? Get a good deal? http://www.gotapex.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

I got RIPPED, I bought my car new almost two years ago, a '98 CiViC Lx sedan, paid $18,100, then got rid of their roadside assistance (we have AAA anyway), brought it down to $17,300 after tax, etc..and now I see people got it for a little over $15k, which sorta makes me feel bad. http://www.gotapex.com/ubb/frown.gif
