This is a live CashBack variation, but i posted it because there is an eBay coupon that you can stack on top of Cash Back for an extra 10% off. This coupon expires tomorrow! I didn't realize I had it as it only showed up on certain listings. This is also true about Cash Back. It only works on certain eBay listings. Cash Back requires Paypal purchase, and eBay coupon requires that eBay and paypal email address match.

Step 1
First go to msn.com or live.com and do a search for your item. Click on the eBay CashBack link in the sponsored ads. There are plenty of postings on FW that explain Cash Back. Read them and figure it out.

Step 2
Once in eBay get to Electronics, and search for your item there....
If a listing is eligible for the CHOLIDAYTECH coupon, it will appear beneath the buy it now price. It has a dollar sign and a lower price with a link saying you have an eligible coupon. This coupon will work for any Consumer Electronic Purchase. Look in Electronics>other as a place for people who list consoles as electronics>other second categories. Many do this and all listed here are eligible for the extra 10% off CHOLIDAYTECH coupon.

Step 3
Once you find a console listed here that shows the coupon savings, then click on Buy it now. MAKE SURE that Cash Back is confirmed on this page. If you do not see confirmation about the amount of Cash Back you will get and/or see the message saying this item is not eligible for Cash Back, hit the back button and repeat this process til you find an item that takes both the coupon and CashBack.

This will work for any consumer electronics purchase, but this is the one way to stack it on video game consoles and accessories. For example, Wii Fits, listed in Electronics > Other are eligible for this CHOLIDAYTECH coupon, but if listed in video games, it is not.

I believe this eBay coupon is a one use coupon, so if you used it you are out of luck. If you have not used it, check you eBay account for it, or look through electronics listings for the coupon icon and lower price on the item page.

Cash Back pays you on the Pre-Discounted price! So in my case, I found an xbox elite for $350. The coupon took it down to $315. Microsoft Cash Back was $105, 30% of the original $350, so this was a true 40% off deal. I paid $20 to ship as this was slightly cheaper than a higher priced one with free shipping once all the discounts were applied. Thus the new elite cost $210 +$20 shipping = $230 seen in ad title.

Before you go crazy and scream about how you cant find a deal as good on an elite, I cant control how fast people snatch up these eligible deals or who lists them in the right category in the next day. All I am telling you is that you can save 40% on a video console if you look for it intelligently for the next 28 hours or so. Be smart on how you look and compare. It may be cheaper to just take 30% off a similarly listed item in a category not eligiible for the CHOLIDAYTECH coupon. Right now this combo of Cash Back and eBay coupon is the cheapest way I can find to get a video game console, especially Wiis which you can get around $200 this way and there are quite a few available that are eligible in this fashion.

I hope this helps someone fulfill an Xmas wish, or personal "need". Moderator feel free to move if this is in wrong spot. Just thought it would help other FW members to pinch a few more pennies through tomorrow.

This is pretty well know, and should be in Deal Discussion or something. However live CashBack is well known, and the eBay coupon only applies to certain people, so this isn't really a deal or a discussion at all.
