Thanks to purduealum91 at FW

Go to office depot and add this item to your cart:
http://www.officedepot.com/shop/catalog/sku.asp?LEVEL=SK&ID=421791&SID=6SF24GDB2WFX8PPLW1C5R4L7CHMWA6S0&PP=14

It's item #421791.

Go to checkout.
Select in store pickup
The price on the next screen will show up as $4.44! Complete your checkout (tax will be added), and go pick up your super-cheap shredder!

It was OOS for me, but the page that showed it as being OOS stock also showed me the $4.44 price. Hopefully some of you can get in on it!

I couldnt get it to work, as soon as you try to purchase, it goes out of stock.

man, this is sooo not working. I tried every store in Orange County, I gave up half way through the LA stores. The verification thing all sad no backorders. If someone does get it, please post and let us know.

I just got a call from Office Depot just now saying that their corporate office had cancelled the order due to a misprice. They gave me an 800 number to call,,,but I doubt I'll bother.

They've fixed the price. It's now $49.99.

I had to *itch and complain to the mgr and they honored the deal. If you sense no backbone with the manager, go for it! Told them I was a regular shopper for my business at their place. They got so frazzled by my yelling, they ended up giving me the PS60C-2 Shredder at the $4.44 price. $4.81 after taxes. :D

you can try a different way to get it to be 4.44. just add three of those things to your cart, they will say they cost 49.99 each, and then checkout. select pick-up and then it says 4.44 but it also says out of stock. thats funny becuase when they cost 49.99 it says theyre in stock but at 4.44 theyre OOS.
try it and see if it maybe works

I could not get them to give me the ones that I ordered but they did give me a $30.00 ink cartridge for my printer for $5.00. Not as good deal as the shredders but I still have my dignity intact.

One location called me after I ordered and said that they were out of stock despite my order going through. Another location did give me one though. 2 managers discussed it and came up with my shredder. At least I got one.

I went to Office Depot website, went to the paper shredder, added 3 to my cart, and then got that msg. If you mean how I got that image to work I did [ IMG]URL GOES HERE[ /IMG] and I just uploaded the screenshot to my webpage and in the "URL GOES HERE" section I put the link to that screenshot. Be sure when you do the [ IMG] and [ /IMG]that you leave NO SPACES, I just did so that it would show the text instead actually tring to work.
