I don't think you can fault someone for buying an item advertised with a rebate on the company's website only to find out that the rebate had expired. And presumably the salesperson confirmed that there was a rebate on the phone when he bought it. Now, he should have noticed the expiration date as soon as he got the rebate form and complained then. And I'm making an assumption that he called the same day he saw the rebate on the website. BillI did, I saw it rat then and called.bamp Jeff Hansman wrote: A minor distinction, at best. It's still not rocket science to ask whena rebate expires before plunking down your hard earned. Live and learn....I did she said there was a rebate, what would you have done???

You just have to be smart enough ( no reflection on the OP)to knowwhen they expire. Ah -- always an indication of bogosity, posting upside down. Scott did not say never to buy a product with a rebate, he said never to buy one ON THE BASIS OF a rebate. -- Stan Brown, Oak Road Systems, Tompkins County, New York, USA http://OakRoadSystems.com "Sticklers unite!
