    I just bought that new Panasonic BD55K BluRay player I've been drooling over.. and used the MS 30% discount and the Ebay 10% coupon.. and both worked.. but in WA we have to pay taxes.. so that pretty much ate up the Ebay 10% coupon. :mad:

    but if all the planets line up. I should get back $109 from MS. ;)

    Don't forget that there is a limit of how many times you can use the cash back thingey-12 times max per ebay account! So don't squabble it away on insigificant items.

    I thought the limit was just up to $2500 back per year? I didn't see anything about a quantity limitation

    I did this and made a killing off the other day. Bought something for 30% off + ebay's 10% off. Saved $170 off ebay's price.

    down to 15% now but MAY rise back up again as it did this recent time. i used one of my 12 EBAY transactions for a $25 item by mistake. forgot i was logged into the cashback banner and didn't even pay attn to the green ribbon. oh well. and for those who don't wanna read all the reiterations, with ebay there is a $200 maximum limit per transactions for cashback.

    i've been piecing together a $2200+ system and when all is said and done it will cost me less than $1600. all i needed was the motherboard. i procrastinated and debated and then procrastinated until i found cashback is dwindling. hope it rises up again before xmas.

    It was gone but is back again but only 8% right now. If nothing else it may help offset the sales tax on the polk ebay site.

    I'm guessing they're trying to minimize their costs from the influx of spending around this time of year...........

    I'd be doing a few more purchases for the 25-30% discount........

    Beware... I might have been screwed on this. I bought two items and the rebates are pending ($7.50 and $8.99). Then I buy a larger purchase and should be getting $68.70. It's been over a week and I already received the item but nothing is in my pending account. I look at the FAQ and it just gives you a bunch of reasons why but mine qualified totally. There's no contact to fix it situation either... gotta contact eBay and we all know how they look at things.
    Never kick a fresh **** on a hot day.

    Home Setup: Sony VPL-VW85 Projo, 92" Stewart Firehawk, Pioneer Elite SC-65, PS3, RTi12 fronts, CSi5, FXi6 rears, RTi6 surround backs, RTi4 height, MFW-15 Subwoofer.

    Car Setup: OEM Radio, RF 360.2v2, Polk SR6500 quad amped off 4 Xtant 1.1 100w mono amps, Xtant 6.1 to run an eD 13av.2, all Stinger wiring and Raammat deadener.

    Before your transaction finished, it would have said wether not you qualified.
    Did it?

    I haven't had a problem yet, but I take screen shots of stuff like that just in case.
