I figure that if all the rebates I have ever sent in were all to actually pay me I could conceivably be able to buy a new PC with money to spare. I have only received about a 100th of the money I have applied for in rebates. Rebates are just a slick way to rip people off.

If memory serves, isn't best buy, compusa, and circuit city all under investigation for rebate crap. Hell, I got my rebate after a week once I got the state consumer affairs office involved.

Right now, I buy nothing that says mail-in rebate. It's a damned scam for people to buy an inferior product at an inflated price.

Ie if a printer is suggested at $70 bucks, and has a $35 dollar mail in rebate, it's only worth $35 bucks and is marked up 200%
