HP 8500 AIO Printer, $75 + tax AC w/trade-in at Staples, starts 9/6

First deal post so be gentle

Staples weekly ad sneak peak has the HP Officejet Pro 8500 All-in-One Printer (wired version) for $150 off, starting Sunday 9/6

It retails at $299.99, so that would make it $149.99
- $25 coupon, bought for $2ish at e-junkie.com
- $50 HP trade-in for any old printer (it is eligible) HP offer

gives a final price of $75, plus tax, plus cost of coupon

It's best to do this at the store, because then you get the $50 for the trade-in instantly instead of having to deal with the mail-in rebate. So when you buy your coupon off e-junkie make sure you get one that can be used in store or you might have trouble getting them to take it.

Also, someone made the good point in another thread related to this HP trade-in deal, that you should take your old ink cartridges out of the printer you are trading in. I think they'll give you $3 store credit for those, so maybe you can get that applied first before you make the purchase for a bit more $ off.

Inkjet. Not a laser.

Where is the $25 coupon???

Thanks OP!

Sorry should've mentioned that in the original post - there's a bit of a catch, you have to pay a couple bucks for the coupon. But it is delivered to your email fairly instantly. You can get them at e-junkie.com.

No, it looks like the same deal they have right now. Op is assuming that the cost will be $150 minus a $50 trade in minus $25 coupon = $75.

Never make posts with assumptions on what the price "may" be at.

Most likely the price already includes the $50 trade in applied.

Nothing wrong with that. This printer uses higher volume tanks than the norm. Color output is great - low end lasers simply don't have the same color printing capabilities as a good inkjet.

wireless version is $225 at Costco b&m

I don't think you're supposed to provide a link to e-junkie coupons.

That's a FatWallet official rule.

Darn you OP! Just spent 50 bucks on the OJ 8000 wireless (no cartridges to trade in : /) Perhaps I should go get a junk printer from a garage sale and do this one too!

I was right whereas you were wrong. I eagerly await your full retraction and unreserved apology. The damage that your red flag has caused this post has been devastating on many levels.

Thanks in advance,

Edit - I should probably add that I am joking in case anyone gets upset. You never know on the internet

I would rather add something worth few cents or dollar and use $30 off $150 coupon, which is cheaper too

Isn't ink expensive for this?

So that's a $130 for ink. Sounds like this printer is better suited for high volume printing.

If you get a CIS(Continuous Ink System), it'll save you A LOT more.

Good deal but I bought Brother for $18 AC/AR. Brother ink is cheap.

I just bought this printer too. My father in law wanted to buy a laptop and so I could use the $ 60 rebate on all wireless printers (with PC purchase). So without using the e-junkie coupon this is what I got:

149.99-50 (for old printer) = 99.99
99.99-60 (need to fill in easy rebate) = 39.99 + tax.

Not sure if the ejunkie coupon can be stacked on top now that I have already bought it (in store). Any ideas???

BTW, I still have not given my old printer which is a perfectly fine working Photosmart All in One. Sinc eit was an impulse buy the guys at the store asked me to leave it when convenient and so I will do that later.

Picked one up for 71.15 after tax this morning. Trade in SKU scanned at $60.01 discount instead of $50.

What model did you buy, and what trade-in SKU did then use?

On store receipt, you'll see a promotion discount of -60.01 for printer trade in, but then on next line there's a charge of $10.00 (for printer recycle) which ends up $50.01

So, you won't get $60.01, but $50.01, when recycling your old printer. That poster didn't read his receipt closely.

How sensitive!!!

Just because ONE person half-picked on you???

tsk! tsk! tsk!

Whatever. Maybe your receipt has a $10 charge, but there sure isn't one on my receipt, and the total came to ~$65 + tax.

Maybe the cashier missed entering a second SKU on mine, all I know is I got a good deal.
If what you've reported was true, you might have been in luck

Another look at my receipt, there was a 1¢ charge for "Recycling Confirmation". So actually I got only $50, not $50.01, credit for recycling my old printer.

Anyway, getting $60.00 for old printer recycling is YMMV.

I think that it is $60.01 in California to off set the $10.00 recycling fee. I got $60.01 off as well, and the state $10.00 fee applied to my reciept.

I got -

1 Recyling confirmation - .01
1 HP Officejet 8500 - 89.97

Instant savings -150.00
* item discount -60.01

So it came to 89.98 for me plus tax. YMMV. I didn't get the $10 charge.

I didn't have an extra coupon (my $50 AR Samsung color laser CLP-315 printer is dead after less than 6 months, so nothing to print with :S) and needed a printer ASAP.

I kinda wondered when she said $95 somthing but didn't argue.

Missed it. Hope comes back up on sale before the HP deal ends. Got several good but OLD printers that I need to trade-in since their drivers are not available beyond XP...

Does someone have a scan of the original ad saying "9/26"? I went to get the printer today (did not purchase), and was told the price was $230, and not $150.
HP's $50 Trade-in program expires on 12/31/2009 and you can buy it from any authorized resellers. I found CompBargins is selling it for $158. See http://www.compbargains.com/_e/Multifunction_Printers/sproduct/1...

Maybe Staples will price match?

They also have the HP 8000 Wired and Wireless for $50 and $70 respectively. Their sales dept said they are HP authorized reseller. Has anyone bought from CompBargains.com before?
