out of stock on stalpes smh

i gotta browse that forum more often

It was OOS stock on staples.com for me too, but there's an option to pick it up at a local Staples store. Which is what I chose. It looks like I got that the last 1 at that the closest store to me.

There's a Staples price mistake/issue damn near every week. You have to catch it quick or it gets shut all the way down by the Slickdeals effect. I got 4 2TB external hard drives for $45 each a few years ago when they were still going for like $140. They shut it down like 30 minutes after I picked mine up.
I'm convinced it is a part of their strategy these days.

I bought a very expensive desk at Staples for $50 because of all the coupons and shyt people were stacking...best desk I ever owned by far.

Right. It happens too much not to be strategic. Much bigger stores never have these many mistakes.

Thread is :dead: as hell :heh:

Here's something I found a week or 2 ago. If you experience stuttering using ethernet and you have an AC router, 9/10 you'll do better using the wifi vs. the ethernet port. I was stuttering using my powerline + ethernet port and completely resolved it by jumping on wifi :leon:

Yeah and it was a desk that was specifically designed and ordered by staples...could never get it again.

I have been looking everywhere for it, even contacted the company contracted to make it. Gone forever

Absolutely. Didn't mean to convey that it was though my post sounded like that. My other devices get very close to the advertised speed though the powerline whereas The FireTV only has a 10/100 ethernet connection and sees a lot less than that for some reason.
