-- THANK YOU for Office Depot tip! (http://discussion.visorcentral.com/vcforum/showthread.php?threadid=21059)

Smile THANK YOU for Office Depot tip!

I just purchased a Visor Prism two days ago. Found this site and immediately learned that I probably should have saved up more $ and waited a bit to buy a pocket PC. Ah well, for what I need this ought to work for a couple of years. That will allow time for all the kinks to be worked out in the Pocket PCs or Treo types of devices.

Anyway -- wanted to thank all of you who mentioned Office Depot. Went to our local one right after work. They SAID they were all sold out. I insisted they look in the stock room. They found a Stowaway for Visor. Then they said it was $99 -- I told them to check -- they reduced it to $69. I asked them to check with other area Office Depot stores. By going to a different computer to get the store and part # they found the Stowaway for $49!!!! Needless to say I bought it. :-)

Without this site, I would not have had the information to push my case on the price. So I'm very happy with you all. Thanks again!!!

Yes, but at least you spelled everything correctly...

But I thought it was "grammar".



It's all in good fun, isn't it?

Speaking of which, I notice the spellchecker is not free anymore.

I was in Office Depot tonight and they had some unreal prices. Backup Module for $11.88. Prism Cradles for around $20.00.

They even had the Total Recall Voice Recorder listed at $34.00, but when I tried to purchase they were sold out.

Of course, the Magellan GPS Companion was still $149.99.

Thanks to the Office Depot posts I have picked up the Backup Module for $5.88 and the Flash Module for $15.88. Yesterday I was looking for the Stowaway keyboard, and the asst. manager was ready to sell it to me for $37.50, but when I noticed 2 more, she sold them to me at $25 each. She also threw in 2 Tiger Woods games at $4 each. Not too shabby for a Visor newbie!

So...what did I miss? Is Office Depot closing out all visor stuff?

They're discontinuing selling Visors. The local one here never really had much selection (they only stocked the Deluxe and Platinum, IIRC), so I'm not surprised if they never sold well.

Unhappy DC

How depressing - I visited all my Office Depot's weeks ago and couldn't find a SINGLE Handspring product left!


Posted by mdatl on 02-02-2002 07:22 PM:

Here is my "thank you" for the tip. I went and got a Total Voice Recorder for $24.99.

You need to get the SKU and call around. Hopefully you can talk w/ someone that actually has some customer service skills and will go look for you. Total Voice Recorder SKU is 785-281. The Office Depot's around here have the Stowaway going for around $50, 8MB Flash for $23.99, Magellan $150, and very few cases. I can't find a case that suits me but they are running some good deals.

Damn!!

I just checked the online "store locator" and found out there isn't an office depot within 60 miles of my apartment. Talk about the bad luck.

Do they just have modules and accesories on sale, or units as well? I would have LOVED to buy some previously out of reach (cost wise) modules.

Well, till I hear that Best Buy or Staples are liquidating, I guess I am out of luck.

Actually the stores near me were just about out of everything, the only module available was tiger Woods Golf at both locations HOWEVER the Keyboards were there in a locked case and not real visible if you were not specifically looking for the sale price, the ones displayed with all the other PDA's were still listed at $99.99!
