Western Digital My Passport 1 TB,External (WDBBEP0010BBK) Portable $89 + Free Shipping! (eBay Daily Deal)

good deal?

I would rather buy on Amazon for $96 ...

The assurance that the product is genuine and seller is reliable, the returns policy, etc all make it worthwhile to spend a few dollars more.

Moreover, even Amazon prices should drop in a few weeks -- my uneducated guess

It's an Ebay Daily Deal, i wouldn't worry about it to much. They have strict terms and conditions the merchant have to follow

Amazon + staples pm, ac = cheaper than this

Hmm maybe you are right.

I wish you could still get $25 off $75 from ejunkie!

Not a slick deal. I have one of these I bought last December at Staples that was ~$60.

Coupons no longer are available to use like before.

That's with use of a staples coupon which is no longer available or get...no need to tc. Staples put a complete stop to the coupon now because of abuse

Staples put an end to the fraudulent use of coupons. My purchase was with a legit coupon. I expect to use legit coupons again in the future when Staples sends them to me. I even received a $5 off $30 coupon this morning...

Staples coupons or not, $90 for a 1 TB drive is far from slick.

HDD prices just recently started to come down slowly after the floods, so any where $80 - $90 is a very decent price for a 1TB EXT Portable HDD.

Also in regards to the coupon, those coupons you received that are user specific which only caters to you and those selected who's fortunate enough to receive them because I never got $25 off $75, only the smaller ones like $5 off $25.

You getting it for $60 pertains more to YMMV than anything because not everyone can get it for that price

Obviously, some deals are YMMV. That is not the point. The point is that the price is not that great compared to other recent deals.

Here are a few portable 1 TB USB 3.0 hard drives currently on Newegg for $89:

Even Google shopping lists a few for $89 (+ shipping):

The "deal" this thread was started about is NOT a slickdeal. It is an average online price (at best) and is easily reproducible with little effort.

Welcome to the new Slickdeals. Where retail is the new deal...
