Yes the list is $269. But these $50 instant and $50 mail in rebates reoccur at both Staples and Office Max quite frequently. You have to be patient and study the Sunday papers and not rely on the websites. The Office Max $170 deal I got was never on their web site. You had to go to the store to get that deal. k On Wednesday, February 5, 2003, at 11:44 AM, lloyds wrote: > The Cendyne 4x internal DV-R/RW drive is today (2/5) priced at close > to $300 with no > rebate at the Staples website.
