Put together a nice deal for myself at Staples for a Canon PowerShot digital camera.
Canon SD750 PowerShot (MSRP $249.99) : $ 199.98
Epson R280 Photo Printer (MSRP: $99.99) : $ 99.98
Epson Printer Instant Savings : – $ 5.00
$30 off $150 coupon : – $ 30.00
Sales tax : + $ 17.22
5% cash back (from American Express) : – $ 14.11
Staples EasyRebate for Epson Printer : – $ 70.00
Staples EasyRebate for Epson Printer : – $ 25.00
Sold Epson Printer on eBay : + $ 45.00
eBay Fees : – $ 3.14
PayPal Fees : – $ 2.04
TOTAL : = $ 133.25
So, I got a $250 camera for $133. That’s a savings of about 47%.
I doubt we’ll keep the printer. It only yields about 400 prints per set of ink cartridges and it takes 6 cartridges at $100 for a full set. That comes to 40¢ per print if you factor in the cost of photo paper. You can get excellent prints at Walgreens for about 19¢, less than half the cost.
