They probably won't honor it because the color were different.

ahh thats not too bad then. But ive made a goal to never buy another mic. mouse again, they turn into junk in 2 months - the wheel gets so clicky and loud and its annoying. They should be smooth, not clicky and loud.

i bought this mouse like a year ago for my sister, the wheel is sooooooo smooth, not goof for counter strike, you'll scroll through all your weapons....lol and pressing it down (auto scroll) is really bad you have to press the wheel down really hard so it's not good for halo ie zoom on weapons, but other then that the scroll is really smooth(theres no notches like other mouses)

Print out the page in B/W and bring it to the store.. Most of the time, they only read the discription. :idea:

Too bad it says "Periwinkle" in the product name.

The default for pressing down the scroller (once you install intellipoint at least) isn't autoscroll, instead it is for application switching (equal to ALT+TAB but without the pop up window), unless you were talking about autoscroll on Halo or something.
Great mouse IMO, best $10 I ever spent on a mouse! (I got the "leather feel" one when Staples had the double price reduction error :) ).

Good find -- Like many RFDers I don't think I can justify buying yet another mouse though!

I did a 150% on this, simply because the girl was hot that asked for it... good thing this is mostly a sausage-fest on RFD, otherwise my store would be out of business because of me :cheesygri

yeah, stooples can really get u on that stupid "diff. color" excuse...
but i think that if the mfr part # is the same and other specs are same, then there shouldn't really be a prblm w/ PMing this ....

P/N are different for different colours... at least on all the times that I've actually bothered to check it.
But yeah... cute/hot girls totally get better PM deals than the average PM.

I agree on the scroll things. I don't like it. It's too soft and the tilt wheel makes it worse. I ended up giving that to my mom.

Since I don't have a remote, I use mine mostly when I'm watching videos on my computer, otherwise I use the MX310 that I still have hooked up.
Back on topic. I did the exact same PM last time BB had the "Periwinkle" one on sale from this thread. (http://forums.redflagdeals.com/showthread.php?t=153026) Got the black one from Staples for ~$15 + tax. I went over to the one on Lougheed by Brentwood mall, showed the ad to a young blonde girl, she asked a slightly older girl and got the ok. In and out in 5 minutes. :cheesygri

mmm. seems like someone needs to PM a calculator! or maybe you had the right numbers on your calculator and typed in the wrong numbers on your post.
59.95-29.99 = $29.96
$29.96 x 1.5 (150%) = $44.94
$59.95 - $44.94= $15.01 (which is the final price...i suspect you're adding the tax for Ontario residents.....15% isn't the case in many other parts of the country.)
