That IS a good deal compared to the one I got;) I had an opportunity to bid on some items from a company that was undergoing liquidation. I picked up an APC Smart-UPS 3000 for $75 (they retail around $1000 http://www.provantage.com/buy-7ampo313-smart-ups-3000-apc-su3000tnet-shoppin g.htm). Now if someone can point me in the direction of a cheap "reconditioner", I'll be able to utilize this 142.00 lbs. ( 64.55 kg ) paperweight;) Mark -----Original Message----- From: Bobby Heid [mailto:bheid at appdevgrp.com] Sent: Tuesday, May 11, 2004 10:18 AM To: 'Discussion of Hardware and Software issues' Subject: [dba-Tech] Heads up! Great deal on an APC 1000VA UPS at Office Max - YMMV Hey all, I heard on Fatwallet.com yesterday about Office Max having the APC Back-UPS XS 1000VA (600 watts) for the $30! These normally go for $129. There is $99 instant rebate/discount. I stopped by a local OM after work and the tag on the shelf did say $30, but they were sold out. So I went to another OM and they had one, but the shelf price either had $99 or $129, I can't remember. Anyway, I asked the manager about the price and he looked it up on a piece of paper he had and sure enough, $30! So I got the last one that they had. I doubt OM has any stores outside of the US, so sorry to the non-US listers. But if you are in the US, I'd hurry to your local OM to see if they have one. I would not call and ask about the price because if the employees did not know about the deal, they may tell you they have none and buy them themselves. Although you might call to see if they have any and to hold one for you. Good luck!
