Mitsubishi Electronics C Series 73-inch DLP TV - WD-73C12 1080p Home Cinema TV - $800 w/ FS @ Dell

Quote from mowbr4 : Also, I just checked on the ShopDiscover website. The 10%+5% does not work towards gift certificates. I also just spoke with a Dell Customer rep and she said that the giftcards cannot be used together. Bummer. Looks like the best deal is ShopDiscover.

You could buy 2*400 Dell giftcards which includes 2*75 promotional gift cards.

Combine the Two 400 gift cards to make it 800 + tax.

Sell the 2 75 gift cards on sites like plasticjungle.com for about 60 bucks.

You minus about 120 bucks off total for around

680 + tax.

Giftcards can be used together, you just CANNOT do it online. Therefore you will have to pay by phone if you are planning to use both GC. So probably the best option is Shopdiscover + $75 GC and pay online with Discover, then find something else to buy later with that $400 GC since that one doesn't expire.

So, overall is this TV worth $680-$700?

Quote from iRabbitt : I bought my fiancee a DLP TV and she left me for the gas station attendant at the kwik e mart. DLP TV's suck, they really really suck.

Thanks for the incredibly awesome post, you have contributed immensely to this thread.

Quote from Kevoo_11 : Gettin closer....I'm gonna go home and measure tonight just to make sure one of these will fit in my basement. I hope $699 is around the corner

Same boat. I mainly want to get the TV for under $800 (after tax). That's my goal. I don't need this TV but I want it.

anyone willing to report purchasing a $400 egift card and seeing if you can successfully apply both the $400 ecard and the $75 promo ecard on the purchase?

If it works, i'm buying and I believe this would be frontpage worthy

My thought process exactly.

Quote from paul86 : It wont go that low. That was a price error last year. It was discussed in length on this forum at that time. After the mistake was realized, it went back up to $799.

We have a different recollection of the $699 price. The set was listed at $699 on best buys web site first thing on black friday, it sold for almost half the day until it went out of stock. Everyone that had a legitimate order got it delivered. I don't recall anything about a pricing error. BB has also sold the 60-65" version of this for $499 and that price held for several weeks without being corrected.

But while I doubt it'll hit $699 again, it might. $800 for the set is still pretty darn good when you consider the cost per square inch. I paid $900 for my 73" and love it. But I remember the BB deal specifically because I bought the set for $900 and then BB listed it for $699 the next day and by the time I got my order @$900 cancelled, BB was out of stock.

I think the primary thing at work here is BB's cash flow. When they're in need of some, they dump items at a ridiculous price.

I think you are correct. My memory isn't what it used to be...

Are the gift cards just codes? Do they physically send you a card? Both? How fast do you get them after ordering?

anyone know?

Mine isn't either. What the hell were we talking about again?

Yes it worked. I gave them the two 400 gift cards + one 75 gift card to cover taxes

Yes the code come thru email. It was recieved within 5 min.

You were able to combine the codes online? Or did you have to call in to place the order?
