I bought the Acer 19' widescreen LCD last Saturday at $298 and now it's $259.

[gordholio]

I went to the web site. I don't see this sale up yet.

[evanx]

MIR though....how good is OCZ with their MIRs?
Quite good. You can raise the issue at the OCZ official forum, they are very helpful about that. Proof of purchase not needed.

I got the OCZ Rally 1Gb and the Acer 1706B. Good price and shipping.

I don't know if it's a problem with my javascript in browser or something, but when I click on the ads for the sale I get taken to a blank screen - both IE and firefox. :mad:

[mountaindew]

Yes just click on the ad....

[Ch28]

Does anybody know how good NCIX is with their price protection? I tried searching RFD for it but the damn thing won't search.

[darkman007e]

I'm finaly trying to pricematch the Z5500 with this (http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1068250&Sku=L23-6334) . Yes I know, but last time I did that with the eVGA GeForce 7800GT CO by error and I end up paying it only 305$ before tax and shipping.

But I did bought 3000$ of stock in 13 months.

Thanks for the 10$ shipping.

[fakishan]

Crucial Rendition 1GB DDR2

[kud0s69]

As far as I know NCIX has no price protection. If it's cheaper now your S.O.L.

Check your ad/popup blocker.

[Ch28]

****! Are you serious? The Acer LCD widescreen is $40 cheaper now ****...even if I brought in an AD that showed it was cheaper at another place they won't price match it now would they?

[burnaby]

NCIX is like DELL, no price protection. There's restocking fee of ~15% so better be sure before you buck up.

If you purchased with a credit card, check your credit card company if they offer price protection. However, some price protection policies don't cover computers and peripherals since they know these prices can be volatile.

[Dster]

Check your ad/popup blocker.

Nope, that's not the problem. For some reason, I can browse to http://opera.com but not http://www.opera.com

seriously, no joke. I think I must have a virus or something.

[gordholio]

Not much of a sale in my opinion.

[Ryan]

Check out the RFD $500 Wish list bonus contest!

Yeah I just called Citi Mastercard but the price protection number they gave me is only a 9-5 number so I gotta call back tomorrow.

[Slartibartfast]

Yeah I just called Citi Mastercard but the price protection number they gave me is only a 9-5 number so I gotta call back tomorrow.
I know from experience that Citi will not price protect computer hardware or software. If you learn differently, please let us know.

So I guess I shouldn't waste a long distance call just to ask them then? >:(

[Firestorm ZERO]

Man spent way too much. But hey replaced the old CRTs at home with LCDs thanks to that shipping promo :)

[kingsley]

So where's the deals?

[Gunz16]

So where's the deals?

Yea?

[djspazz]

The Panasonic DVD Burner is a good deal at $29.99. Even if it wasn't that good, it works well as a second DVD Drive.

http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=18290&promoid=1068

[Vitulla]

Ridiculous...10$ shipping on an 11$ item...

[batman321123]

I'm building a new PC, and I'm seeing some good deals in places, especially since I need new everything

[Mgz]

anything worth buying?

I'm interested in 1 GB SO-DIMM DDR2 4200 but :(

arctic silver tube is more expensive than Edmonton local store :/

I also want to stock up some TY DVD but I hear that recently the good batch TYG02 is gone and all they have is the 8x TYG03 crap?


I know there will be some good media specials coming at least


which one :D

[fatpiggy]

Bought two Panasonic DVD drives and a 512mb ram, shipping is still $10, with GST only, great deal!

[mahjongmaniac]

hot price on the Panny burner... and also the LG burners.


and some nice 99c deals like the A-B M/M cable, nGear paper sleeves

[[buck]]

Hot price on the BenQ... as much as the Panasonic drive may be tempting, they do kind of suck.

[ZenOps]

Yup, great price on the BenQ LS. Software is Nero Express 6.6? That would be sweet.

Panasonic is cheap $, and cheap quality... Mind you, the price is hard to beat if you just need a functional drive.

Great price for DDR2, but I think most peeps are looking for something a little faster.

I'm assuming there are going to be more deals added every night?

[lazarus]

too bad they don't just put all the deals up at once. :/
I need to buy a >=250GB HDD and enclosure.

[mahjongmaniac]

']Hot price on the BenQ... as much as the Panasonic drive may be tempting, they do kind of suck.

i've heard bad reviews on the Panny drives... but is it true for "all" of 'em?


regardless, as others mentioned, another unit to use as a functional drive isn't too bad.

DVD-ROMs cost at least $20 these days (cheapest i've seen was $25)... so for $10 more, why not upgrade it to a dvd writer... ;) )

[Medlar]

anyone know if it is possible to order on internet and then go in person to pick up the item you order? (is it possible?)
If yes, how does it works?

[mahjongmaniac]

I'm assuming there are going to be more deals added every night?

yep... same as Dell pretty much, except i think NCIX is hosting more deals than Dell is (like their wkly NCIX sales)...
and also it seems like there will be a "nitely" deal ... since it's up at 12 midnite EST (vs. Dell's 8AM EST)


man... how the hell are we gonna sleep if we want to anticipate BOTH of Dell's and NCIX's daily/nitely deals...? that's a deadly combination... :lol:

[duster]

What about the Acer 17" LCD at 190$?

Oh, I know it's not the best out there but it's for my sister, replacing her CRT.

Internet, some Word, Birthday cards maker and MSN Messenger...you know what I mean?!

So I don't think she "deserves" a 5ms, 1000:1, DVI 19" at ~400$...

But I don't really want to buy piece of crap obviously!

Any comments/experiences?

[Ch28]

anyone know if it is possible to order on internet and then go in person to pick up the item you order? (is it possible?)
If yes, how does it works?

You're emailed an email confirmation and you take that into the store.

[tjuzer]

How do you know panasonic drive suck

[burnaby]

Yup. In shipping section select store to pick up at (likely Richmond for you), finish the checkout. You'll get email order is received, then an email order is processed, follow by order ready for pickup email. All should take less than a day. Print out ready for pickup email, bring to store, bring ID (driver's license) and CC.

[impostor]

nice price on that ocz 512mb usb key for $13Except the rebate link doesn't work. :evil:

For those asking about OCZ rebates, the postings on the 1 GB USB drive page seem to indicate that it takes close to 3 months to receive, and you have to send in the logo from the clamshell case, not from the cardboard backing.

[rahzel]

How do you know panasonic drive suck
not too familiar with panasonic drives, but it would only make sense that they use their own chipset, and the panasonic chipset isnt very good. BenQ used a panasonic chipset in their DQ60, and look how that turned out.

but yeah, for 30 bucks, it is at a low enough price to be considered, but i wouldnt recommend it as your primary dvd writer... maybe just as an extra drive.

[Montague]

Except the rebate link doesn't work. :evil:


Works for me.

(maybe it was "offline" when you did it - or they corrected the link).

[Edpaulw]

I cut off the logo on the cardboard and got my rebate.
I have received all rebates sent in to OCZ.

[Edpaulw]

Anybody seen a review of the Samsung SyncMaster 215TW LCD monitor on sale at NCIX?

[mahjongmaniac]

hm... don't remember if it was u or some1 else, but yeah, it was mentioned that OCZ rebates take ~3 mths +/- to rec'v... 4got the reason why.

[itsyours]

LOL!

[Hello World]

anyone know if it is possible to order on internet and then go in person to pick up the item you order? (is it possible?)
If yes, how does it works?

Yes you can. They even have a special counter for Internet order pick up at their Burnaby location.

So basically you'd choose the pick up option and the location where you want to pick up (Burnaby, Richmond, Vancouver, Langley). After they sent you an e-mail saying that your order is ready, you'd print out the order confirmation (not the pick up notification) and bring it to the store along with one piece of photo ID and the credit card that you used to place the order. A NCIX staff would verify your information, ask you to sign on the invoice, and then give you the items along with the receipt.

[miss_swan]

Did anyone mention that there's an Internet pickup counter at NCIX? :cheesygri

Anyways, picked up the TY dvdr's. Hope that they are the '02 batch. What the hell, 20 bucks is 20 bucks. Picked up the 1 dollar cd sleeves. What else can you buy for a buck nowadays?

[b33f]

too bad they don't just put all the deals up at once. :/
I need to buy a >=250GB HDD and enclosure.
They have a HD enclosure deal here (http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=17269&vpn=2U3488&manufacture=nGear%20Technologies%20Inc.&promoid=1068) :)

Any review on this monitor? i wanna upgrade my Benq 17" FP757 to 19" LCD

[Thanh]

Regarding that 10$ shipping promo, is it with Purolator or Express Post ?

[Siefer999]

Regarding that 10$ shipping promo, is it with Purolator or Express Post ?
sadly, all the 5.99 specials have been puro for me. im going to assume the same with this one.

i would rather have canada post han purolator.

even during non-shipping promo sales, for me at least, purolator shipping is always cheaper for some reason

[Turbo944]

Did anyone ever purchase a Transcend 80X High Speed card?

Is speed really 80X or if it's a marketing thing?

Can the nGear ALL-IN-1 Flash Card Reader and can most Canon digital cameras (like the S2 IS) read the 2GB card successfully?

Thanks!

[lazarus]

how do you know if you are entered in the sweepstake? I hit the submit button , and all it did was refresh the screen with the blank form! :s
Do they send a conf email to say that they entered you, and that they used your order number to add extra submissions?

[The Digital Dolphin]

By the way, it should be quite obvious, but the reason there is only *1* media sale on right now, is because there are going to be many more over the course of the sale. This is just the first ;)

I mean COMMON, when is the last time NCIX had *1* blank media item on sale only? :lol:

[SeerHawk]

Now this is a sale! $10 Shipping! Whew Hew!

[Edpaulw]

i would rather have canada post than purolator.

Not me -- because Purolator will make more than one delivery attempt and has better tracking.

[The Digital Dolphin]

Not me -- because Purolator will make more than one delivery attempt and has better tracking.

I agree, but Canada Post's express post tracking has gotten MUCH better then it was!

[Madcatmk2]

What would be great is the sale to have a few Seasonic S-12 500W at 129$. :)

[Jon Lai]

Anyone else other than me getting BAD REQUEST when they submit the sweepstakes form?

[evanx]

Yup. I asked them about it, waiting for a reply.

[Warwick]

Cheese me off!! :mad: I just spent a bunch of cash at NCIX and now they hold a contest where you get more entries for buying stuff.

Shipment hasn't arrived yet and I came this close to cancelling, then reordering, just to get in on this. :cheesygri

That, and Panasonic is very bad for firmware updates.

[Jon Lai]

']That, and Panasonic is very bad for firmware updates.

Thing is, you probably can't get a DVD-ROM for a price much lower than that (last time I checked DVDROM still sells within the $20 to $30 range) so it's definately worth it for the guys that are aiming to build an alcheapo computer, or you're just a casual burner, burning no more than once or twice a week, then it woudln't matter.

purolator is my favorite courier by quite a bit. their air method is always next day, anywhere in canada, while canada post is always 2 business days for me, from BC to SK. their ground shipping is also usually a day faster than CP.

[lazarus]

My form got refreshed too and didn't get any confirmation email on sweepstake entry. Is this a normal thing? :confused:

Dunno, maybe someone can confirm this. It would be a shame if there was something wrong w/ the entry forms, and it wasn't really noticed until it was too late. >:(

Nope, I've shipped Puro-Air and it was 2-day.... but it WAS going into a backwater area of Quebec ;)

[The Digital Dolphin]

Man, this sale sucks.... the prices were so low I had to break down and finally buy an LCD monitor :(

Now I need to figure out where I'm going to put my Acer 19" Widescreen LCD.

i'd agree that u should pay just a bit more $ to consider getting the $30 Panny drive as opposed to a dvd-rom drive f/ ur local compy store, but i'd disagree w/ the "casual burner" concept...

IMO, it'd still matter even if u burnt one disc per yr! :P
u'd prbly still want the burn quality to be good and the disc to last....:!:


anyway, to each his own i guess...

ok that sounds like good news... i was hoping for another day(s) of media sale f/ NCIX...

Any review on this monitor? i wanna upgrade my Benq 17" FP757 to 19" LCD
I don't see any good upgrading to that model from your current one, except for a larger font size

[guest3721]

What happens every night after they update to add more items to the sale? Do the "old" items go back to regular price?

I need to know quick so I that I can place an order before midnight! Lol.

OK forget it I found the answer. They go on sale until May 9th or while quantities last.

[Jon Lai]

Hmm but I don't quite understand how it'll be updated daily either.

So will only the SURPRISE SALE deals be updated daily, or do we get a new "weekly" sale everyday? So if there were 18 items left today (there were 21 when it started), that means perhaps another 21 would be added onto the 18 making it 39? Whoo.. divide by 3, that'll be a long list (13 lines). Or does it work differently?

I think this is the first time NCIX has done daily sales, right?

[djspazz]

I noticed that the G7 mouse has been added.

[Jon Lai]

I noticed that the G7 mouse has been added.


I did a shift-refresh and couldn't find it.

[guest3721]

The new items should be up very soon hopefully.

[mahjongmaniac]

I noticed that the G7 mouse has been added.

i noticed that too...

is that it?

[guest3721]

It's 12:05. Anything new yet?

[Calmuser]

as already mentioned the G7 mouse and the only other new item I see are the 8x generic opticdisc dvds.

[Jon Lai]

Nevermind, it finally appeared after 12AM. Guess "updated daily" means 21 to start us off and one more per day?

[champ91]

as already mentioned the G7 mouse and the only other new item I see are the 8x generic opticdisc dvds.

is that all? lol...

[darkman007e]

I agree, but Canada Post's express post tracking has gotten MUCH better then it was!
So better that when I return my expressvu receiver Bell charge we 800$ cause Canada Post were too stupid to return them to Bell.

By the way check this f*cking nice pricematch they accepted.

But I did bought more than 3000$ of stock in 13 months plus add these speaker and my eVGA GeForce 7800GT CO.

I was wanted to buy the cheap N-Gear external enclosure just for backup but it seams too many people have trouble with them.

[The Digital Dolphin]

lol!...

ok that sounds like good news... i was hoping for another day(s) of media sale f/ NCIX...

so COMMON, stop teasing us already and tell us what blank media is gonna be on sale at NCIX ... ;)

Really I don't know anything for sure. But near the end of the sale you may just see something on the Maxell BQ DVD-R 3pks... but honestly, they haven't told me anything specific, I only know the BQ thing because I tend to be involved at some point in the negotiations with Maxell ;) According to Maxell, I have a future lead purchaser for Walmart or Bestbuy/Futureshop :lol:

(Despite how the above may sound, once again I am not an employee of either NCIX or Blankmedia.ca. Just a willing assistant in the cause of bringing good media to the Canadian public)

how bout helping out ur fellow RFDers by doing some persuasion / negotiation w/ NCIX to sell us some cheap Verbatim DL media... :cheesygri

[duster]

"Updated daily!!!"...not really! No update today. I suppose no update on WE. :mad:

EDIT: Ok, maybe the G7...I haven't pay attention yesterday. But if you say it's a new item, it's surely right.

[The Digital Dolphin]

how bout helping out ur fellow RFDers by doing some persuasion / negotiation w/ NCIX to sell us some cheap Verbatim DL media... :cheesygri

Hehehe... well that is not something NCIX has much control over, it has to do with Verbatim. The problem is that Verbatim can't make enough DVD+RDL media to meet the current demand as it is... so prices can't come down right now really....

Now that doesn't mean I'm not trying ;) As it happens, I've recently made a new friend at Verbatim, who will be coming up from the USA to meet with me this coming Wednesday, and DVD+RDL pricing is DEFFINATELY on the agenda :cheesygri

If all goes well..... well, I better not spoil ALL the surprises... just keep your fingers crossed ;)

[Jon Lai]

Glad DD is here to help us inflence the Canadian market... hopefully he'll be able to influence a few more retailers here in eastern Canada!

As far as the sale... It's Saturday morning and all I've seen "updated" was the G7 mouse and a pack of 25 generic DVDs from Optodisc... I was expecting >10 items each day, lol... kinda dissapointing.

The G7 was added at roughly 8PM PST on Friday night, just like the sale started on Thursday at 8PM PST. Therefore, you must wait until tonight (Saturday) @ 8PM for another update.

Yes. But you'd need to ditch the software that comes with it, it's terrible. Get Beyond TV or Sage TV.

>10 may be a lil too high... i was expecting something like Dell - 3 "special" deals and add a few other items on sale on the side...

but yeah... only 2 were added i think.

I suppose the deal for tomorrow should be starting soon now...

i think the least NCIX should do for their "daily deals" is to specify which item(s) is/are added on, rather than us trying to figure out what's new.... :|

[The_One]

should do for their "daily deals" is to specify which item(s) is/are added on, rather than us trying to figure out what's new.... :|

It doesn't look like a daily special though. It seems like only new deals are added once the previous ones have been sold out. Once the TY 8x were gone the Optodisc were put on.

I'll work with anyone who is not trying to make their money by misleading or abusing their customer base. If there is a company in Eastern Canada you think I should contact, please let me know. Currently I only really deal with NCIX, Blankmedia.ca, and to an extent Anitec.ca. I've tried working with MemoryExpress, but they prefer to completely ignore me and not answer my calls.

Ideally, I want to be working with at least one company in Alberta, one in Saskatchewan, and another 1 or maybe 2 in Ontario. I've also got my eyes open for a good computer store on Vancouver Island.

Looks like they added another item, but it's not a Sunrise Special. Rather it's one of the other specials listed below, which happens to be the Hauppauge PVR150.

I'd like to do the same in Toronto. Pick up would be downtown, during business hours (lunch hours OK). PM me if you're interested. I'll split the shipping cost between the number of orders. Note NCIX has limited supply, so there's a chance by the time I order there won't be any left. :) But I should have time to put in an order tonight.

not all the time! I used shipping promo and I got Air :) I usually get ground though. so you never know...

Where are the daily updates for this sale that was promised - am I looking in the wrong spot?

[TommyC]

I have two options, purolator ground for 9.98 or shipping promo for 10.00

Which one is better?

shipping promo probably uses whatevers cheapest for them so air for smaller items but ground for things like cases/speakers/monitors/etc.

One thing to think about is whether you might place another order within the week. In the past ncix has only allowed one flat rate shipping promo per account (not sure about this time though.) I got burned a bit by this at a previous flat-rate shipping week b/c I made a somewhat small order and opted to use the flat-rate shipping to save a couple of dollars but later in the week I thought about ordering a case which had a much higher shipping rate than the original order.

In the end I opted to order the case from tiger direct with their free shipping but I would have preferred to give the business to NCIX.

[mahjongmaniac]

no that canon multi function was there from the beggining. They did take it away for a couple of hours and brought it back though.

on a side note, I got my order already! only prob I see is my new dvd burner STINKS like crazy, and the smell rubs off on everything! :mad:

[burnaby]

Get someone else at home to order it for your. Of course you wouldn't want to create a second account which works but is morally wrong :| . Having said that NCIX probably prefer your second acct over losing business to TD.

[mahjongmaniac]

the normal wkly spcls most of the time don't sell out, so there's usually no need to add to cart to guarantee stock.

[Jon Lai]

the normal wkly spcls most of the time don't sell out, so there's usually no need to add to cart to guarantee stock.

The thing is, there's no point in trying to guaranteeing stock, because it won't work. NCIX checkout system checks the avaliability of the product even if you've added it to your cart previously.

The only reason why would would want to put something in your cart temperorialy is to guarantee the PRICE of a special item.

yeah i know... the price is v. tempting, even at $70 shipped + tax.

[Siefer999]

why did they add items every day? i would have ordered a couple of sd cards had it been available on the first day.

They still try to make few buck with the $10 shipping :p

[duster]

If you think they make money on flat rate @ 10$, you've definetly never shipped a box by mail or courrier...

I sent a CPU box to Toronto (I'm in deep Quebec actually)...final cost: 12$

I've ordered a bunch of stock, including a multi-purpose printer (kind of heavy stock...)...final cost: 10$ with this flat rate

For all of you that aren't very good in geography, BC if is more distant from Qc than Ont... ;)

So, I think this flat rate is a good thing, even if it's not 6$ like before. Oh, FS has free shipping but good chance if you want to build a whole PC from there...They has some great special on goodies and stuff sometime, but nothing comparable to NCIX on day to day.

So, come on guys...stop whining about shipping! :D

A seller can't ALWAYS have the better price. You found the same item locally, same or better price, without shipping? Great, just buy locally, you will create job in your city. But I think we have to agree with this fact: NCIX has great prices (can't be always awesome) and some good shipping promo when we're patient. IMO...

I totally agree with your assessment!!!

There are some very GREEDY and CLUELESS people making ridiculous posts about NCIX.

[mahjongmaniac]

So, come on guys...stop whining about shipping! :D

compared to their reg. s/h rates, $10 isn't bad at all... of course $6 would've been better >_>

agreed. most of the time i find that NCIX almost always beats the prices offered by my local compy stores...

.... and some good shipping promo when we're patient. IMO...

nah... more like when we whine a lot about not being offered flat rate s/h :cheesygri ... and then ppl say "s/h kills the deal"...
... then others ask "comon NCIX, where's the flat rate s/h?" :D

[Ch28]

I totally agree with your assessment!!!

Agreed. I hate all the people on here that ALWAYS complain about NCIX's shipping and how they never have discounted shipping. It's always the same people that do it too.

Completely agree. Look at Canada Computers... "Free Shipping", BUT $10 Handling charge. Almost everyone charges similar prices for shipping. There are a few that have free shipping like Dangeo, but you'd have to spend over $500. Unless you like paying prices at FS/BB/Staples, you won't get free shipping.

[darkman007e]

Did anyone got his order shipped yet ?

[Firestorm ZERO]

Did anyone got his order shipped yet ?

not yet :/ I guess they have lots of orders (and price matching heh)

[nivek7]

Yay, my order just shipped.

[Jon Lai]

Finally a few new items for surprise special. I'd love to get a single Plus series from Maxell to test, but $0.79?! WTF!? A couple months ago they had it for 9c!

At least there's still two thirds of the sale left. Hopefully something will amuse me later on.

BTW, did any of you guys find that they added things to the weekly specials, or do they only update the surprise specials?

[opilion]

Yay, my order just shipped.
My order shipped tonight too... Not bad - just placed the order yesterday afternoon...

new items? i don't see any ATM

the maxell dvd, oblivion game, OCZ SD card and Ritek cd-rs were added last nite, FYI.

You do realize that even $0.79 is below cost, right?

It's still below cost.... I think the manufacturer suggested retail price on that is $1.95 or something. I know for a fact NCIX paid more then $0.79 per each disc.

[mahjongmaniac]

well, let's remind ourselves that these $1 or less items ARE promo items intended for ppl to make large/semi-large purchases here...

btw, according to NCIX, the reg. price is $2.18, so the MSRP has to be at least $2.18 or greater...(i don't think NCIX would reg.'ly price this > than the MSRP ;) )

$0.79/disc w/ JC is still a pretty good price IMO... but damn that 9c was hot... it got cleared out the next day i checked the sale...

weird that the 1st 2 or 3 days of sale, they only added a couple items each nite... and then the 4th/5th days they have more and more items to add each day...

so are we gonna have 10 new items 2moro? :D

i just asked DD about the "Tru Blu" Taiyo Yuden DVD-R's.

these are just regular Value Line Taiyo Yuden DVD-R's, with an 8x rated speed. Taiyo Yuden did just officially change the rated speed of their value line DVD-R's to 8x, though.

as for the tru blu, its probably just the name Precision media gave them.

[[buck]]

so since these are value-line TYs, there might be bonding prblms too?

They're exactly like any other value line Taiyo Yuden DVD-R. No branding anywhere, at least for the time being. Don't know if they're TYG02 or TYG03, but they could be a mix.

[Firehawk]

What happened to all the Canon BCI-24 Colour cartridges? They're not even listed anymore, and the max amount of BCI-24 Black Cartridges you could buy was lowered from 5 to 2. Damn! I was gonna buy those on the weekend but decided to wait to see if I needed to get a HSF too :mad:

Edit: To buck: YEAH SENS WOOOOOO

[Jon Lai]

It's still below cost.... I think the manufacturer suggested retail price on that is $1.95 or something. I know for a fact NCIX paid more then $0.79 per each disc.

But how does that explain the 50-Pack cakes for $30 on their usual sales? That's 60c each - I don't believe a jewel case is 20c, let alone more than that.

[[buck]]

You're not familar with jewel cased media prices, are you? It's not rare for the jewel cases to cost 30%+ of the actual media.

It's not so much that $0.79 is a bad price, it's more that $0.50-$0.60 is a very good price!!

[Jon Lai]

SlimCD - $8/100

LMAO, and I'm serious. I buy them in 100's boxed up all the time, considering that I burn 300+ DVDs each year.

Thanks for clearing it up on the price of the Plus media itself though. I guess I might be picking up a couple just to test, instead of getting the extra savings in a 50 cake.

[Dster]

For the first few days it seemed like regular prices did not reflect sale ones - now they all do. Can anyone else confirm this?

[zickvon]

The BenQ FP91G+ 19" LCD is $239 for special price. The regular price was around $300 yesterday, and is $259 today. Will the reducing of the regular price affect the special price? cuz I'm looking for a good 19" LCD.

:!:
Guh!

I just bought the LG L1951S on sale for $249 over the weekend, and that one doesn't have DVI (also 12ms, but that doesn't matter to me much). And now this BenQ one, which has DVI, comes on sale for $239! >:(
I wish my order hadn't shipped already.

[zickvon]

Yes, I want to place the order for two BenQ FP91G+, but I don't whether they will drop the on sale price as well cuz the regular price is droped this morning.......

[burnaby]

Haven't been any good 9c deals in a long time. Probably thanks to all the crys for low cost shipping instead. Those maxell 8x was good deal @ 9c.
9c only?
damn. that must be the NCIX wkly sale where i checked out their sale the day after they hosted their new sale.... :|



Go Sens, bye Habs.

[x21hx]

wow.that is insane shipping..i placed an order yesterday around 3pm...

it came today noon...i was expecting thursday or friday

[mahjongmaniac]

But how does that explain the 50-Pack cakes for $30 on their usual sales? That's 60c each - I don't believe a jewel case is 20c, let alone more than that.

actually, like buck said, JCs can cost QUITE a bit...

i remember back in the days buying those 10pk cd-rs in JCs and comparing the price w/ the same brand cd-rs 50pk spindle w/o JCs and the $/disc diff. was huge.

and remember... we had a short discussion w/ DD and others at one time about the fact that there's also diff. qualities of JCs too... ;)
so maybe these are some high-quality JCs ... :P

factoring in the cost of the JC, cost is more like $0.50-$0.60 per disc...

I don't know about jewel case prices, you're right. All I know is that locally the prices of jewel cases are like:

14mm DVD - $13/100

wow... those are some really cheap prices for cd/dvd cases there...

i'm not too sure about the price about slim-sized cd/dvd cases, but the full size cases it's more like ~$18-20/100 (cd/dvd)...
well, those prices are what i remember the last time i looked ~1/2 yr ago at some local compy store....

[Canadianpsycho]

Well I couldn't resist the Viewsonic VX2025WM at $399.

20" WS, 8ms, 8 bit panel for less then 500 bucks taxes and "express care" included (which I still think is a scam but I know if I don't get it I'll get a panel with dead pixels). Cheaped out on the shipping though... Can't wait to try it out.

[mahjongmaniac]

deals now in regular site?

For the first few days it seemed like regular prices did not reflect sale ones - now they all do. Can anyone else confirm this?

what do u mean by "reg. site"? main home pg?

all the prices advertised on the anniversary sale webpage ARE sale prices...

the evga 7900 gt ko for 349 is an awsome deal. i bought it for 369 but not the ko

[The Digital Dolphin]

But how does that explain the 50-Pack cakes for $30 on their usual sales? That's 60c each - I don't believe a jewel case is 20c, let alone more than that.

A good quality jewel case, manufactured with virgin materials, will cost MAXELL somewhere around $0.20 CAD, and about $0.30 to the end user. A cheap chinese made Jewel Case, with lot's of recycled product used when manufacturing, will cost about $0.19 to the END USER (about $0.15-$0.16 CAD wholesale).

There is also all the printed material costs to consider, and the labour involved in packaging the product. And then the added shipping costs because the product is much more bulky and heavier then bulk.

So yeah, it DOES make sense ;)

[The Digital Dolphin]

I don't know about jewel case prices, you're right. All I know is that locally the prices of jewel cases are like:

9mm DVD - $12/100

Those prices are unrealistic. Regular GOOD prices are more like:
14mm DVD - $17-$19/100
9mm DVD - $19/100
7mm DVD - $19/100
FullSize CD - $38/200
SlimCD - $30/200

And even the ABOVE prices are really low...

And even the ABOVE prices are really low...

I'm surprised to find this, especially because the quality of the JCs that I've been getting at these "super duper low prices" have been pretty good in quality. There's usually a few witin the 100 that needs to be thrown out, but usually over 90% of them are good.

[mahjongmaniac]

that was exactly what i was wondering about... the prices Lai stated were pretty low...

Lai must be getting his cases not f/ a grey market, but f/ a black one :razz:



btw, $19/200 full-size cd cases?

that's pretty cheap at ~$0.10/case... cheapest i've seen is $0.15-$0.20/case, if bought it bulk...

[Jon Lai]

Lai must be getting his cases not f/ a grey market, but f/ a black one :razz:

I think they may be grey market, but I'm not sure.

In Toronto we have 3 locations around the city where there's lots of computer stores grouped together, and usually they're like al-cheapo stores selling refurbished items, which is where I usually get the boxes.

so... um... ur cd/dvd cases are "refurbished"? wtf? :-0

[Jon Lai]

so... um... ur cd/dvd cases are "refurbished"? wtf? :-0

No, just that I get them from those types of stores. You know, cheap renovations, boxes piled up on top of each other, not much organization, long lineups, one cash, etc... like factorydirect type stores.

Well, there is stolen product... and that is possible pricing for that. And then there *IS* used product, but usually the cases are scratched.

Honestly though, I wouldn't buy from a store offering pricing like that, as my first thought would be stolen. The price of plastic is higher then some of the prices quoted above in this thread :confused:

NCIX just added the OCZ MiniKart...

http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=18315&promoid=1068

$63.98, pretty hot. Something tells me, though, that NCIX either saw the other thread about the $69.99 one or something tried price matching with them.

At this point, I have a ques... better to buy the 2GB SD card for $59.99 and get a SD to USB drive adapter thing for $3.50 or buy this MiniKart?

[x21hx]

well..seems like the memory card ocz works with my canon s2 fine...

i wasn't too impressed with the 133x...my normal sandisk outperforms it...but I guess for $60 its not too bad...

thanks ncix...they also included a free hard cover notepad...free is always good..

thanks

[northeastwind]

lol. You guys know how much those cd cases are in China? Less than 2 cents. So it's not surprise to see ncix selling it for $10/case. :)

What do you mean by outperforming? Did you test it on a card reader?

[mahjongmaniac]

Well, there is stolen product... and that is possible pricing for that. And then there *IS* used product, but usually the cases are scratched.

u know, now that u mention of "used" product, i remember a couple yrs back when i used to drop by those chinese pirated dvd stores to checkout new movie releases on vcd/dvd and i recall seeing some USED cd/dvd cases being sold there... it was pretty damn obvious as there were scratches and cracks... and not to mention the layer of DUST that covered it b/c no1 would buy it ... lol

so yeah, i guess it shouldn't be a surprise that there are stores out there that sell used products...

Honestly though, I wouldn't buy from a store offering pricing like that, as my first thought would be stolen. The price of plastic is higher then some of the prices quoted above in this thread :confused:

what i mean is...on my canon s2...i have it on the burst mode...with the sandisk...i can maybe take 50 shots continuously before it lags (get the "busy" flag)....with this card which is supposed to be hispeed...I get maybe 15-20 shots before it lags...with my kingston elite no lag whatsoever (but I get memory card errors)...I can't win here..but oh well...$60 is still pretty cheap...

also it took ~4mins to transfer the card (full) to my computer usb2

it's like <1/2 a day that there was a deal posted for that OCZ mini kart USB drive at some online compy store and then NCIX comes up w/ an even better deal...

yeah... i wonder if NCIX read that thread and saw me mentioning about PMing NCIX to get $10 s/h :D

I ordered a Transcend 80X after reading good reviews about its speed with the S2, let's see how it goes.

I have used other couriers that report progress as your package passes through each major (and some not so major) city. This is pathetic - even one status per day would be good.

Bastards! I just placed an order for the 250 gigger WD three hours ago...

well, the price is nothing spectacular...

that has been the going price everytime NCIX has had a sale on the Seagate SATA/ATA 300GB HDs...

they were like ~$140 around xmas,... and i think the 1st time i saw an ATA/SATA drive go for ~$120 was in Jan./Feb.


EDIT: oh wait, it's the SATA2, ... whatever, ... just FYI

[darkman007e]

This is my problem with NCIX for my order it's always long and the worst is when they shipped by Purolator Ground. I'm in the St-Hubert near Montreal and before Christmast I order my friend PC that I only received in January while I check the tracking of other people that were farther than me and of course they all received their thing before me.

You guys wanted cheap shipping so they did $10 shipping and when your orders take longer to receive you all complain.

NCIX has a huge sale with discounted shipping and they all think they're gonna get their order in 2 days even though there's more orders and they live on the opposite coast.

NCIX has always been average at processing orders. Plus you can't expect to get your stuff quickly if its getting shipped via ground.

"No PST if you aren't in BC, so there are further savings there. "

All your NCIX sale postings have this statement.

This is misleading, as NCIX has always charged me HST (for the last 2 years) even after I pointed out your posting to them. They say they are not responsible for incorrect info on other web sites and they are now required by law to charge the appropriate tax on every sale. In the past it was an advantage to shop NCIX as I had to pay GST only. I see other postings in your forum that say don't pay any PST if outside B.C. So what's the deal here? Could you enlighten me on this please? Alternatively, please confirm the facts with NCIX and remove this incorrect info from your posting as you are promoting a business on false pretenses.

"No PST if you aren't in BC, so there are further savings there. "

I think you are correct.

From NCIX's order page:
All orders shipped within BC will be charged 7% Provincial Sales Tax. Residents of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland will be charged 15% HST. All other orders within Canada will be charged 7% GST.

May be you should PM the mod directly so they don't miss it.

If you really want to get technical, the first part statement is correct. Here in Ontario we pay GST and PST. You Easterners pay HST. Since HST isn't PST you could argue that Ryan's statement is correct since you guys aren't paying PST at all.

You could probably argue that the "Further savings outside of B.C." aspect of the statement isn't correct though ;)

I guess I did not make myself clear in the post. NCIX insists they charge PST on all orders as it is required by law. I did have a lenghty discussion with one of their sales manager and it was explained to me that it does not matter where the shipment goes to, the appropriate tax for that province has to be charged. They used to charge me GST before although the HST was applicable. My question is, if NCIX does not charge PST but does charge HST then it is an issue we can take up with NCIX otherwise the post is misleading and needs to be corrected. After all, deals are posted for all readers in all provinces and any exceptions should be clearly outlined.

After all, deals are posted for all readers in all provinces and any exceptions should be clearly outlined.

I'm no tax lawyer or expert, but last time I checked PST isn't applicable on out of province purchases. So I don't see how NCIX or RFD is misleading anyone there. As far as the HST is concerned, I was under the assumption its law now to charge the full amount, not just GST. Again, I could be wrong. Do other etailers charge East Coasters the HST? Or just GST?

[noname]

GST, HST and PST are all separate taxes (i.e. HST is not GST+PST)

GST and HST are both FEDERALLY administered taxes, so any business in Canada must charge it, depending on the location of the purchaser. PST is a provincial matter and a business only charges PST to purhcasers in the same province as their physical store or where they are requried by law to be registered. NCIX is registered in BC only

HST is special in that in exchange for the Federal government collecting the HST, the province (all on the East Coast btw) gets a portion of it in leau of administering its own PST.

for those not on the east coast, technically, PST is chargeable on out-of-province purchases, but it is up to the purchaser to make that disclosure and pay the tax to the province.

I think this one was up (late?) last night, i'm not sure about the other one.

btw, is it just me or did NCIX not add anything new to the surprise spcl category 2nite?

don't recognize anything that's new.

Just a q about ncix reviews...anyone know how they work?

I've posted a review (gave 4 or 5 stars) before and it showed up instantly as I recall (not 100%)

This time I posted another review (2 stars) and it hasn't showed up yet...

Just wondering if it has to be approved or not?

Yeah negative reviews have to be approved by staff. They don't like people giving a 1 star review and just saying "it sucks" or something like that. Of course if someone posts a 5 star review that simply says "this is awesome," they look the other way. :lol:

hmm..thats what i figured...i dn't agree with this tactic..but oh well..what can you do

[cjpark]

It sucks, anything less than 3 stars and you have to enter an order number. I placed a large order over the phone and that order number doesn't work when I try to enter it for a review. Ended up just giving 3 stars and stating that it would have been less if I was able to.

[Vacillator]

not sure if that's too useful now as NCIX has the 1gig for $39 less a $10 MIR

http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=16189&promoid=1068

$10 MIR - http://source.ncix.com/pdf/16189-May-07-06.pdf

less MIR to deal w/, so might wanna consider the 1gig over teh 512 instead...



MIR's expire May 7th tho (b4 NCIX sale ends)


I don't think this is posted but you can get the 2GB Rally for $89.99 minus a $15 rebate (74.99 after the rebate, which is the same rebate as above) using this link: http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=16190&promoid=1068

The price isn't quite as good as the others on a per MB basis, but if you need the 2GB size, it might be OK for you. You have to buy it today to get the rebate.

[cechlin]

anyone know tonights additions?

[champ91]

it says updated daily, i think they just removed some items. didn't notice any new items.

[Jon Lai]

Updated daily is BS, IMO. They only updated the first and second days, and then they updated like every other day, sometimes even 2 days.

[The Digital Dolphin]

Yeah, but common, saying "updated every other daily" just sounds lame :lol:

But yeah, I agree they should have stuck to their guns. Something like start with 10 or 15 "surprise sales", and have them run for 48 hours with limited quantities, the next day bring out another 10 to 15, and at the end of that day, remove all of the original ones that didn't sell out, and bring in 10 to 15 more.

But hey, that's easy for me to say and all.... but DOING it is another matter.

that's what i was expecting when i saw the banner too. definitely would've made their anniversary sale a bit more interesting IMO.

[Jon Lai]

Well they could've smartened up and promoted something like: "More Specials to come for the duration of the sale!"

yes, that and the 20" viewsonic are very good.

with free shipping, woot, its hard to beat.

Ok thanks. Just bought it through the RFD link. No PST for me, so the deal is even better.

Who would buy this consider the OCZ one is $7 cheaper?!

Just realized it ends tomorrow... so whatever's added now will be what's at the end of the sale. Hopefully they'll start adding "end of sale specials" starting around now ;)

[djspazz]

I dunno... maybe cuz no rebate? OCZ rebates are very questionable...

True, but for the quality difference, I would rather risk it. Speaking of which, they still owe me $7 from a pack of RAM I bought during the first days of March. Emailed them a while ago but no response.

[The Digital Dolphin]

I'm sure they've been monitoring this thread, so I wouldn't be surprised if the next time they try something like this, it's close to your suggestion. Although who knows when they'll do a sale this big again.

i thought i saw that date for the 1gig OCZ...

hm... the DD hinted to us that there'll be the BQ discs... wonder if that'll come up later 2nite or 2moro....

Email NCIX support, they will get you in touch with an OCZ forum where you can contact them about your missing rebate. That's how I had to do it, still waiting for them too, but at least they show up on rebatestatus.com now. It's been since December!!! So YMMV with OCZ rebates.

Do you have any proof about the quality difference? Ex.: the Transcend SD 2.0GB 80X is a TRUE 80X card unlike the 133X OCZ and it's 100% compatible with any camera.

We're talking about the 512mb USB2.0 Drive, not 2.0Gb SD.

not sure if this is really "new", but NCIX has this for $39

LG GSA-4167B 16X DVD+-RW 16X Dual Layer Writer IDE 2MB Beige OEM W/ SW Burner (http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=16689&promoid=1068)

did they have the black 1 b4, or the white 1?

i just remember the 4167B was $40 near the beginning of the sale....

[Wildfire]

I placed an order on Saturday, and it arrived today by Purlator (in T.O.), so that was pretty fast!

I ordered the 2GB OCZ SD Card and the OEM TRU BLU TY 100pk, I just checked, they turned out to be TGY02, (which is a nice surprise since that's better than the expected TGY03!) if anyone's curious.

[Mok]

shipping depends on if they used ground or air...my 1 order was split into 3 seperate shipments, 1st two left on 5/5 and hasnt' arrived yet, the 3rd shipped 5/8 and arrived today (by air)

Well... YMMV. Some BB's do, some do not. From my experience, I'm 0 for 3. They always come up with a lame excuse. Anything from NCIX not having stock (even though they do) to NCIX not having a good return policy. Technically BB should PM, but they are not consistent.

[Blood_Lust]

hmm.. ok.. I'm gonna head to BB Scarborough town when I get off work. I'll update this if I get PM or not. ;)

bad news. Manager at BB Scarborough Town said they don't pricematch stores with restocking fees. :mad:

Really!? I didn't buy them since people said there was little chance of them being TYG02 and according to DD, there was supposed to be some good Maxell media on sale. Since today's the last day and there doesn't seem to be anything of the sort, what happened?? :confused: :confused:

This is dissapointing to end the sale with the addition of these two items... I expected a spectacular end to their 10th anniversary specials - something "fireworks" sized.

It won't be in the next sale either unfortunately.... but I *CAN* say that it's much closer now then it was 2 days ago. there are a few formalities in the way, but I would expect it in next weeks sale if all goes well (and if people move quickly)

Yeah, I was really surprised to find that the spindle was TYG02, but I'm pretty happy now that I ordered them lol, 100pk of that for $32 sounds damn good for me
