yea it jumps around a lot.
gold coin, cheap ps3, cheap wii, things like that usually bring up the 30

i ended up getting a wii, two controllers with nunchucks, cooling station, 4 good games for like $200

Oh. and you can now buy up to 12 things per account

So did anyone get their money back yet? I was waiting until someone does so that I can start shopping too, but I just went with it today. I bought a used xbox 360 with accessories for $96 after the cashback ($48 taken off). I might go on to buy some lowering springs/ struts combos soon.

sounds like it was more than 25% off with your deal.

Mid December is when I get some back.

Yes, on December 1st they also had this coupon that saves you %10, so i had a total of %40 saved on that $159.99 xbox360. thats why.

Probably because of the holiday season its going down and everyone is buying. I really don't know what determines the percentage.

its basically random.. or at least on some random time table / pre-determined time table / whatever

i did see one article that said ebay gives a list of keywords to microsoft or something like that, and someone determined the percentages for those keywords.. thats why searching for one term could have gotten 30% but at the same time doing a different search could be 4%.. for all anyone knows right now there could be some obscure search keyword that still kicks out 30%.. but probably not..
