Amazon is great, and here are some tips to even more money. Check out the outlet section often. They have some great deals. Here are your links.

• Outlet Store - Great deals here!
• 2001 Calendars - The year just begun and you can save up to 75% off some calendars!
• Greeting Cards - One of the reasons I conveniently forgot to send out holidays cards this year was because were SO expensive. They're dirt cheap now.
• Kitchen Outlet - I can tell I'm getting older when things like this excite me. *sigh*
• Lawn and Patio - Ditto.
• Game Outlet - I completely recommend Grim Fandango, System Shock 2, and Daikatana (kidding... just kidding)

They are having a pretty wild sale. Discounts are everywhere including toys, books, video games, and movies. Go and check them out!!! ETOYS

Even better price on one of the best CD-RW's available at this time (the Burnproof 16x10x40 will be readily available sometime, just not now) thanks to a pricedrop. Sanyo makes the innards of this CD-RW (just like the Plextor and the Lite-On 12x10x32 models). It's CloneCD compatible too.  The retail price is $349.99!

It's over $200 everywhere else.  This is perhaps the cheapest 64mb MP3 player on the market.  It's expandable to 96mb too.  Get it quickly though, last time it sold out in 1 day.  AMAZON

I believe they're running out as well.  They are having some problems with their website though.  It showed them gone the first few times I refreshed, then they were back.  There are 4 models right now, as I'm posting this.  One is $11.93, and the other three are $14.93 each.  DICKSSPORTINGGOODS

Considered by some to be John Carpenter's best work.  I've never seen it, unfortunately, so I cannot bestow my own review.  Then again, I'm pretty opinionated, so it might not help so much.  It's set to release on March 6th, 2001.  AMAZON

It's a great scanner (not just cause my wife works at Epson).  Check out the reviews.

Two really cheap deals at Amazon.  One I'd say is pretty useful, the other, well...

• Amazon 16' promotional tape measure.  Usually, $7.99, now only 99 cents. TAPEMEASURE
• Gemmy Industries Crawling Hand.  Um, yeah.  List of $9.99, now only 90 cents. CRAWLINGHAND

Haven't tried this one myself.  Must be 21 years old and live in the US or Canada.  Correct info will be verified.  SWISSAMERICA

This is actually a pretty sweet deal if you have a crappy video card. Your old 2MB card is worth $30 off a new 3D accelerator. Welcome to the 3D world. ATI_TRADE-IN

Believe me when I say that the PS2 is kind of overrated. I mean, there aren't very many exciting games for it. The Dreamcast, on the other hand, has some pretty cool stuff for it. You should check it out. Don't forget to click on the coupons database to get even more discounts!!! TWEC

I'm not exactly a handyman, but you might be. There are a lot of odds and ends on closeout at Amazon. I have no idea what they are for, but if you are looking to fix up your house, then take a look. AMAZON_OUTLET

Just FYI, Overstock and Gear.com have merged, so you can get even more deals! Technically, the Overstock coupon should apply to the Gear items as well. Give it a shot.

One of the best prices I've seen in a long long time for a fast (10ppm) laser printer.  It supports envelopes and legal sized documents as well, which gives you good flexibility.

• Start here for $30 off a $150+ Purchase for all customers.  Expires 1/31/01, but I hear they're probably going to pull it earlier.  $30/$150
• Get the Minolta QMS Pagepro 1100L printer for $179 before discount.  PAGEPRO1100L

Haven't said enough about this one lately.  This is the company I use.  They have 5.9 cents/min state to state long distance service over Qwest's high quality all-fiber optic network.  There's no monthly fee for this service too.  When you switch over, they send you a $25 check, just for switching.  Also, and this is important, if you want, they will take your name off of about 1000 telemarketing lists for free.  Man, you don't know how great that is.   I would PAY for that service (and believe you me, I'm pretty cheap.  heh). ESSENTIAL

Get as much as you can.  You can pick up to 9 items per product.  I think the batteries and film are especially good deals, though the tape sounds pretty good too. SAVON

Buy.com's deal of the day is pretty decent. If you need more RAM, but can't spare a lot of cash, then this is probably your best choice. This one might sell out, so get in on it soon! BUY.COM
