Details: | Netgear 5-Port Managed Gigabit Switch $25 Netgear ProSafe 5-Port Gigabit Web-Managed Ethernet Switch for $50, and code EMCEKGT44 applies $25 off in the cart. At $25, it's a good price for a solid (and small) Gigabit switch that normally sells for around $46 (or a nearly identical one for $30). Also includes a lifetime warranty. Also, a $10 Prepaid Card is available by mail-in rebate. Statistically, about two-thirds of buyers will forget to mail in this rebate. It requires you to handwrite on the form in very small print, cut out the UPC with scissors, print out the sales receipt, and mail in the documents with postage within 30 days from purchase. Ask yourself if a $10 Prepaid Card (not a $10 check) is worth that effort. Most people will simply plug Ethernet cables and watch the Switch's link lights glow, but a "managed" switch does give some features useful for anyone interested in really looking at how their network works.

Advisory: | This deal requires the customer to mail in at least one rebate. Make sure that you save a copy of the rebate form immediately, just in case they take the rebate form offline. It is also recommended that you mail in the rebate immediately after receipt of the item, otherwise you might forget to do so. And you should mark the maximum date that your check is expected to arrive, so that you follow up with the company if you do not receive the check in time. Rebates can be annoying, time consuming, and require a responsible person to follow the tedious rebate instructions. And, this involves the possible risk of the customer fulfilling the rebate requirements but the company choosing not to send the customer a rebate check for any reason. The more well-known or reputable the company is (the company itself, not the company's products), the more likely it is that you will get your rebate. If the rebate is from a company that you've never heard of, of if you question the company's business practices, chances are high that you will never see a rebate check. Understand that dealing with rebates are risky, so ask yourself if the product is worth full price in case you never receive a rebate check. |
