Gearheads
« on: July 22, 2008, 05:00:01 AM »
Apparently Microsoft and Ebay have a promotion for 25% off what you buy from Ebay, if the item was found thru a search via MSN.  25% off is by cash-back rebate 60 days later. Add Ebay's 10% off promotion for -35% total on "buy it now" purchases.

Apparently this is still good, and the limit is 1000$ per item, so in total you get as much as 750$ off.
And I forgot to mention that this is for auto parts only, in case the title doesn't make it clear enough.

So I can get a Quaife for my ancient CRX for like $200??

You should.. I didn't ask for the details since no one seemed interested, but I think this is it: http://pages.ebay.com/cashbackoffer/terms.html?_trksid=m38
I'll try and find out the exact what and how and how much longer it's good for..  I forgot to mention that this is good for 3 purchases max.

You can find it starting at http://www.msn.com/ and typing "gold coin" in the search box at the top..  It takes you to a result page, at the top of which you should have a box for "Sponsored sites", and "Buy Gold coin. You may get 25% off with PayPal if eligible." 
Clicking on that takes me to the home department of Ebay, but searching for Quaife from that page keeps the "Live Search Cashback" button around, so I guess it should be good.. 
The link to the terms in the above post is correct.. Here's what looks like a more permanent link to them.

So it looks like it has to be "Buy it now" and paid via PayPal.  When you click on "Buy it now", you get a confirmation page that'll tell you if it's eligible or not.  You don't have to commit to anything to see that and back out of it.
