I went to my local OD today and saw one sitting on a cart by the tech kiosk. A manager saw me grab it and asked me if I was interested(duh!)..... I sensed he was desperate to sell it, so I asked him if he would take anything off the price and he took $5 off for me. Ended up being a sweet deal for $38 after tax.

went to OD this afternoon and showed the manager the printout to see if they had it in stock, he coudln't find any in the back and looked at me all crazy, saying they only saw $229 pricing on the web, not $39.99.

Had a OD store look up the internal store inventory system, showed a store 4 miles away having 2.

Grabbed a display as I could not find the other new box,
they had the box for in the back with unopened toner so I felt safe to buy it.

Did not give me the standard 10% open box discount as I think the manager actually wanted the printer for him self
and I pissed him of by buying it.

I just picked up two more at the OD around the corner in Clovis, CA at Willow and Herndon. I picked one up earlier at the Clovis OD at Peach and Ashlan. These were the last ones in all those stores.

I love that this is a network printer!

Using one at home for kid's general homework/printing, one at my home office, and will sell the last at cost to my brother or uncle if they want it.

I will be anxious to see if a good way to refill the toner carts comes up. If not, I may keep that third printer and use it instead of buying another toner cart. :-D

Awesome deal!

I noticed that Circuit City online has the same printer for $229 with a $50 rebate. Having found and bought one at a local OD last week, I bought another one on the same day from Circuit City. After it arrives, I will attempt to use my receipt from OD as proof for a PM. If the store does not account for the rebate, I should end up getting net Cash Back on this deal. Hope this will work.

I checked online and none of the three store around me have any in-stock (Seattle, WA).

I'm tempted to call (as most people are), but then I run the risk of alerting the OD employees of this deal and having them purchase it themselves instead of selling it to me (or another FW'er).

Good deal for those who got one (or a few).

What kind of fiddling, not having any luck on this end . . . first got a page that said over $100, then got the $39.99 then got discontinued/not available . . .

Consisted of some combination of adding it to the cart, getting the 'discontinued' notice, choosing in-store pickup, picking the store, then it magically appeared...YMMV.
