2GB USB Flash Drive for $9.99 Office Depot messed up

CLICK HERE

These were in their ad this sunday for $19.99, but they are priced wrong in the store and online. Buy them while you can, I just bought 30..

These have the new ReadyBoost Capability for Windows Vista::


Windows ReadyBoost improves system memory and boosts performance.

Adding system memory (typically referred to as RAM) is often the best way to improve a PC's performance, since more memory means more applications are ready to run without accessing the hard drive. However, upgrading memory can be difficult and costly, and some machines have limited memory expansion capabilities, making it impossible to add RAM.
Windows Vista introduces Windows ReadyBoost, a new concept in adding memory to a system. You can use non-volatile flash memory, such as that on a universal serial bus (USB) flash drive, to improve performance without having to add additional memory "under the hood."
The flash memory device serves as an additional memory cache—that is, memory that the computer can access much more quickly than it can access data on the hard drive. Windows ReadyBoost relies on the intelligent memory management of Windows SuperFetch and can significantly improve system responsiveness.
It's easy to use Windows ReadyBoost. When a removable memory device such as a USB flash drive or a secure digital (SD) memory card is first inserted into a port, Windows Vista checks to see if its performance is fast enough to work with Windows ReadyBoost. If so, you are asked if you want to use this device to speed up system performance. You can choose to allocate part of a USB drive's memory to speed up performance and use the remainder to store files.

All stores have safety guards for incorrect pricing these days. If you actually get them you will be lucky. Laws were changed to make it easier for them to recover their mistakes.

not really, they have to honor an advertised price... especially after they've charged my card for it! a purchase = a business contract

But they can also easily credit your card.

In fact I remember a case a year ago or so where LCD monitors were being sold for 19.99 (instead of 199.99) on some site and I do believe that if you got them, they sent you a legal notice saying you had to ship it back (on their behalf) if you did not want to pay the full price of it. In the end, if you sent it back they did give you like a like $25 or $50 credit for the trouble.

That's when I learned about the crazy law. The law implies that as long as the difference from the price posted and the intended price is a reasonable difference, the consumer should be aware if they are possibly taking advantage of human error.

Simple as that. I'm not sure if it was a state law or a federal law, though....

WIth that, it's totally worth the shot of getting them. And I'm not sure if $9.99 vs $19.99 would be considered a reasonable difference.

It's not available here either but check this deal out.




It's an mp3 player with voice recorder and doubles as a 1 GB USB 2.0 Storage. It costs $0.00 (after $25 rebate). if u don't mind dealing with the rebate this is a steal!
