Challenge: CD - R deal

Apr 19, 2010 4:02 PM

There are DVD-R on the fresh page, but I need CD-R's. I'm looking for bulk amounts, mostly, but a 100 tube would be fine. Let's see how cheep we can get this.

Best deal I found I noticed in the Sunday paper, but is also available online from OfficeMax.

I've had luck with this site before: www.shop4tech.com
But right now it looks like the cheapest they have are $0.18 each, and that's for an off-brand.

How important is quality to you? For the best burn-rate (getting the fewest "coasters" possible), Taiyo Yuden and Verbatim (made in Japan) are generally considered the best.

Right now NewEgg has a 100-pack spindle of Verbatim CD-Rs for $16 w/ Free Shipping. Considering that there's also no tax (for most), this might actually be cheaper than the TDKs at Office Max (where most of us would have to pay tax). Only $0.16/each:

Unfortunately they seem to have been made in Taiwan, not Japan. But they still get terrific reviews.

For really good discs that will last longer (better for archiving important stuff), here are some Taiyo Yudens. The 600-pack (you did say bulk) brings it down to $0.22/each:

I took the newegg deal. But I'm keeping that 600 pack in the back of my mind. Thanks!

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
