The NEWEGG deal on the toolbox is dead. They are out of stock, and the price is $29.99

With all the various "a child's foot was mangled while wearing Crocs" stories that run here, I'm surprised that one of the morning deals is for kid's Crocs.

I just entered the code for 40% of SNL season 3 at borders and it brought the price down from $57 to $38. Went to amazon to do a compare before ordering...

$27.99 regular price.

@GuJiaXian: Just don't take your kid on the escalator.

@420greg:
Same thing here. Full series of the West Wing: $269.99, or $161.99 after discount.

On Amazon: $143.99.

@Ben Popken:

Who went #1 in your Wheaties? It's a very fair point, and I hardly think that you'd deem it appropriate if someone's response to a post about tainted food were "don't let your kid eat [product X]." GuJiaXian makes a fair critique. Ben, time to disemvowel yourself.

@GuJiaXian: One of my Ex's got caught in an escalator while wearing regular shoes. If you practice due diligence, you're usually safe in whatever you wear.

The toolkit is sold out. :( Figures as lately everyone has been having me do cpu/laptop repair.

@JustThatGuy3: It was a joke. Good morning!

Amazon OCZ OCZ2G8004GK DDR2 800MHz 4 GB Gold Edition Kit for $4.99 after two $20 rebates w/ Free shipping
IS INVALID

both rebates state:
Only one rebate per qualifying product per household per promotion. Multiple purchases on a single product only qualify for one rebate per promotion.

@Mxx: Well, you also have to send the original UPC from the package. You can only send the original once.

@Ben Popken: Heh, I have two kids myself, and I have absolutely no desire to ever buy them Crocs (escalators or not). I'm not the richest guy around, but I can afford to buy my kids real shoes. :)

@GuJiaXian: I agree. Crocs are hideous.

@JustThatGuy3: The only one that sounds like they had #1 in their Wheaties is you.

I came to show my disapproval of Consumerist promoting Crocs, but am glad to see other people have already taken care of it.

@GuJiaXian: Obviously, you buy them for kids you don't like.

@Git Em SteveDave loves this guy->★: Double true.

I find it funny that both Amazon AND Buxr make that mistake.

Good deal for the 40% off borders. Just picked up season 5 of DS9 and the whole ST:V series for $200 off. Happy day!

@undefined: advertising crocs again? please make up our minds...should we hate them or wear them?

Uh, how exactly does Amazon expect us to redeem two rebates on the same product (the OCZ ram)? Both rebates say "one rebate per product", and they both require the original UPC cut from the package. Am I missing something? Misleading at best!

The Newegg deal was dead sometime yesterday guys.

Crocs seem to be sold out. Can't find that one on the linked site.

@420greg: Oh, dear. Very same thing for the Deadwood box set coming out next week. The original price was higher on Borders than on B&N or even the HBO shop--but I still thought I was getting a deal with the marked-down price of $123. Until I saw your comments and checked Amazon: $108.

I visited Borders "Customer Care" to cancel (it hasn't shipped yet), but they don't allow you to cancel an order once it's submitted. I think that's a $15 lesson learned for me.

@undefined: I think this discussion is a great example of why advertising on Consumerist freaks me out. Ben will write post after post after post attacking a product, but turn around and shill for it right off. It confuses the message, though I hope (but don't necessarily believe) that the majority of Consumerist readers are smart enough not to buy a bad product even at a cheap price.

@bunnymare: Even though I think they suck, some people might have a different opinion, especially at the steep discount. This deal is for them. Morning deals are not paid content in any form so there's no shilling going on.

@SamataCoates: If you call Borders customer service they might be able to cancel it over the phone. Also, if you can afford it, and Borders has a good cancellation policy, you can buy it on Amazon and simply return the other set from Borders when it arrives.

@JustThatGuy3: "#1"? What are you, nine? If you're going to use scatological references, don't talk around them. You just look like an idiot. Say "wee-wee in your Wheaties" or "shit in your Big Mac" or something.

Yeah, yeah. You think it's a sign of intelligence, or your piety, or your sophistication that you don't use words like "piss" and "fuck." Well, it's really not. At least not the way you're using them. If you're one of those guys who thinks swearing indicates a lack of creativity, you have to actually, you know, be creative with your language - not simply bowdlerize popular (but profane) sayings by infantile substitution.
