lol. no

usually the stores don't do rebates. the manufacturers mail the $ back to u. the store still makes the profit, only the company mails u the $. sometimes the stores do rebates, so they lose money

the stores don't loose money. they still get the profit they make of selling it to u. but the manufacturer of the product sends u the $ when u fill the rebate. so the manufacturer looses the money, not the store

Ok ...maybe Best Buy has some harddrives that they want to get out of stock to have more shelf space for something else...or if a company is discontinuing an item and bringing a new one it. The company can make a harddrive for probably 20 bucks or something like that. They just put out rebates and people pay FULL PRICE...then send in the rebates for their money back. So with that harddrive I would still pay $140 and the company is hoping I dont fill it out right, or dont even send it in and then they make a lot of money..or if I do then they might loose a dollar or 2 but still...they just do it...ok they want to do it so they do it damnit! lol I kinda lost myself halfway through that but ohwell...maybe he can kinda understand..

DAMN MIDTERMS!!!
