$30 is enough to go "hog wild" where you live, Ed? You need to come to New York. That might be just barely enough to get you and your spouse dinner - without drinks or tips.
In any case, this happens every so often on Amazon when they shift prices. Has anyone ever gotten money from Amazon for one of these "negative" deals?

I'd be interested to know if Amazon ultimately honors it. It's not clear how much they're losing, btw, because all of these need a 1-year wireless contract.

I just got my $250 rebate check from amazon for a t68i I bought around christmas. I had to shell out $275 for the phone, but I am still super happy. $25 for a t68i? Great deal. Get paid $30? You can't beat that.

Ummm...Janak where are you hanging out? I'd say $30 is a start for one person and one really upset companion.

Yeah, I know I'm pushing it -- don't ask my credit card. :cry:
Having said that, not every part of Manhattan is as expensive as midtown or downtown (the latter put things in perspective for me a few years ago -- we would consider a $15 pickup lunch to be cheap, and a sitdown lunch for that price a bargain).
