Amazon and Newegg sell the exact same fan for $7. Fry's and MicroCenter sell the same fan for $3.99. NOTE: I am talking about the non-LED version (CF-012LB) which is what this deal is for. As for them wanting a short-term cash infusion... I think you're reading too much into it. Most TigerDirect (TD-XXXX) rebates are merely cash changing hands from one Systemax company (TigerDirect) to the other (4MyRebate). I doubt they are even manufacturer-funded most of the time. |

$9.99 Before Rebate Period ----> $16.99 During Rebate Period ----> $9.99 After Rebate Period By the way, I caught Newegg withholding stock again on two FAR items. That Emerson Alarm Clock Radio & Emerson Portable Weather Clock Radio that made it to the front-page. Yeah... both rebate offers were valid thru 02/28/13. Miraculously, at 12:30 AM PST on 03/01/13. they both appeared back in stock. LINK #1 [newegg.com] LINK #2 [newegg.com] I think that's totally bizarre because some people receiving DOA units and instead of replacing them, Newegg just credited their account and told them tough luck. Then, it turns out they actually had some anyways. |

If you follow TigerDirect deals... you know they will offer a mail-in rebate on just about anything. A rebate is one of their favorite tools used to give a temporary discount on an item. They use them because they stand to benefit in at least 3 ways: 1) Positive customer reaction for TigerDirect brand --> May increase sales on other products down the line. 2) Rebate breakage --> Customers who simply fail to submit the rebate or miss the postmark date. 3) "Rapid Rebate Processing" --> TigerDirect's parent company, Systemax, also owns 4MyRebate. When people choose rapid processing, they are essentially giving back 10% of their rebate value back to TigerDirect, in a round about ways. MSRP isn't a very important figure except to select products, such as: automobiles, fashion, televisions (i.e. Samsung/Sony unilateral pricing), and high-end radar detectors (i.e. Escort). I thought satanslover summed it up pretty nicely: "They can make [the price] whatever they want since buyers won't be paying it and market discipline is not applied to it. The only thing that you might consider is that the pre-rebate price is the "penalty" if you don't submit the rebate correctly. In that sense it might matter." |
