Canadian Verbatim/TY Sales Thread

@Soup,

The ones I am talking about are 16X and DVD+R. I have seen the DVD-R ones there in the 50 spindle made in Japan also. The 100 spindle is always Taiwan. I will look for the octagon ontop next time I am in there.

Zellers eh? Now you have me thinking Art. All the Wal Mart stores around here are long clear of MIJ, but I would love to stumble onto some at another store.

It would be interesting to find out the MID of these MIJ's & I think I am going to pay Zellers a visit today as well. I might not be able to get any work done.

Ive been finding those MIJ's at sears....I bought them out (6 spindles) a few weekends ago....used staples add to price match and got them for $14.98 for each spindle. I'm waiting for another sony add to go get more, they restocked the shelf with 8 more spindles of MIJ's....the wal-marts around here havent had any for months.....Nightran turned me onto the sears gig

just dont count them spindle until you have them full in your closet

[beachbumm33]

lol.....I agree Night....I saw them there sitting on the shelf, just waiting for an add to pricematch.

Just picked up 2 50pk spindles of Verb's from Staples. I couldn't resist and can always use a few extra hundred.

I just went to the local Wal-Mart and found about 50 spindles (of 50) of Sony TYs! (eh FuriousG??)

A bit pricy at $24 but it would do in a pinch!

The bigger question is: "Has Sony gone back to TY??" These looked brand new and were stocked behind the others. They were not dust covered. They had the octagonal spacer on top!

[soup]

That's pretty well the same price I pay Gary D but of course no PST. I think I have seen them on sale once @ $17.99.

they are stored in boxes and could be 2 years old? You might even see some made in japan 16x sony's that are a sony mid, not a ty.

Everyday Low Price: $26.99

surely not?

[Netsurfer]

Chewy,
I was just about to mention that sale with Canada Computers. I think that $26.99 for a 100 pack of Taiyo Yuden has got to be a steal of a deal!

[Chewy]

notice the new packaging for TY value line??

[soup]

Don't forget: cost = $26.99 + GST & in some cases + PST + shipping but I still think it will work out to be around .37 cents a disc which is less than I pay for the Sony's.

I purchased my first burner online from those guys, but never bought any media. For about .37c a disk I may have to give them a try.

@ Gary D, sweet find you lucky bugger. I never see any of the good stuff at Wally World anymore.
