1GB Lexar USB Jump Drive - $49.99

Man, free shipping, too ... wish I had seen this before I bought my 512MB Sandisk Cruzer Mini for $45 shipped off the forums (though that's STILL a good deal).

The price on this USB pen drive is $79.99 - $30 MIR with free shipping, coming out to only $49.99 for 1GB in a space as big as your pointer finger. Offer valid through 10/9/04.

A good price but look at their resellerratings page

Seems like a risk to me

Lifetime rating of 5.72. I can't speak for others, but I've bought tons of stuff from Buy.com before and have always been extremely satisfied.

Regardless, that rebate form is good for $30 off the drive at a bunch of online stores, or from your local store. And it's not just for the 1GB drive ... you can get $20 off a 512MB drive and $10 off a 256MB drive. It just has to be the JumpDrive Sport model.

Rebate form: http://ak.buy.com/buy_assets/retail/pdfs/04Q3/0923-1009ml_multiLexarJDS.pdf

So buy where you want, and still get your money back. Purchase must be made by 10/9 (Saturday), and rebate form must be postmarked within 30 days of purchase.

and if you need to contact them, a previous search of mine has yielded this information:

They're a 5 minute drive from my house and there's a phone number listed so I'd feel comfortable buying from them because I would be capable of raining hell down upon them if they screw things up.

I've got the 128 mb model of this drive. It's really solid. The little plastic thingie that protects the flash drive is tough!

Buy.com is fine to buy from. I've never had any problem with them. They're a notch up from Tiger Direct, but certainly a notch below Newegg.

Very tempting... Definetly gonna put this on my credit card just incase.
