I agree, Bill. Rebates are a fool's game. It's the equivalent of
loaning money to strangers interest-free with no guarantee that they
are going to pay you back.

I'm not saying I don't use rebates. I keep track of what rebates
are paid and which are not and I only have one unpaid rebate and
it wasn't on electronis gear - it was a $2 rebate from Long's and
I won't be bothering with any of theirs again.

You do have to understand that you're loaning them money and consider
the time and effort to mail the stuff in when you evaluate the rebate
and you're possibly paying sales tax on that free loan too. But I've
eventually gotten all of my rebates (other than that one).

The best rebate I ever got, was $3000, when I bought a new car. I just had
to sign it over to the dealer, who then took it off the invoice. No
waiting for that one. ;-)

I've done that too. Got like a 2K rebate and cashed in my credit card
earnings for another 2K or so.
