Got one of these as a Christmas present at MicroCenter, after the rebate it was $20 so this is good price!

#1 Why you pimping that link. BTW it's wrong... Anyway, everyone knows already that 1saleaday is a member and has been padding the reviews themselves for quite a while. No Surprise. Notice how they all only have 1 review and just say the something about a great website or service over and over again. But.... not about the "ITEM" they bought.
Try http://www.consumeraffairs.com/online/1saleaday.html instead.
Better yet. check out the 772 negative ebay feedback.
Spend $3 more and get a "new" wireless mouse.... with a warranty.
The reseller ratings posts do look fishy like they have people doing nothing but posting to it all day long (for example over 15 pages of high rating posts on Jan. 6th but not so on most other days throughout the year? Yea, right), but in this case Logitech moves a lot of new so-called "refurbished" goods which are just overruns put in white boxes with a sharpie marker through the serial # on the sticker.
While yes you can get complaints on any business and yes consumeraffairs.com had complaints, but is it a place to say you got a great experience... not usually. Is there anyway to see if someone had resolution after posting on consumeraffairs.com, probably not? There are about 45 consumeraffairs.com complaints since Dec 1, 2011; I bet that's <1/2% of the orders they processed during that time! It took me scrolling back 16 pages on resellerratings.com (with about 10 reviews per) to get back to the 4th of January (which is a little astonishing in itself I thought). Though am I/we suppose to believe some 160 post are bogus? I've posted on resellerratings.com for stuff I've got from odd places I've made purchase, so I figure they're somewhat worthy. Though I'm not completely naive to the fact that they're an "elite" merchant member and can make good on/repair the worst entries, I was still surprised.
If resellerratings.com permits a company to "pad" their ratings, then I'm madder at resellerratings.com for compromising their integrity. While I was not endorsing 1SaleADay, I was in a way trying to indicate such sites are something by nature of the products, sales, and volume always a place that can be a hit or miss. In this case shocked 8.6 of every 10 posts showed a good experience straight off, or after some form of resolution. If you judge it as distorted, I can’t confirm that.
Sorry if I left Ben’s readers to extrapolate anything other than posting a link with more information.
Casecutter - 1st, resellerratings had to have integrity to begin with.
Your link provided no information because the link is bad (still) as I told before. Had it worked, the only information it would have provided is that 1saleaday reviews are padded to the hilt. There used to be a time before 1saleaday was a member of resellerratings, that just about all you saw there was bad. I know this because I sent this info and more to Ben (the original) and they were banned here and De@lnews, and the archives here and there were wiped.
Why else would you provide the link to a page after page of glowing reviews except to promote the vendor?
We all know you are the video card guru guy here, but daily deal marketing is a whole different learning curve. For the most part it's a numbers game and a lost leader marketing ploy. Win some loose some.
There are lots of reputable business that try their best to win all of them. Support these businesses instead and less people will be negatively impacted. May cost an extra buck... do your part.
Review the case you made and see how many reviews contain the item they bought. So So few. Why is that?
I guess none of those people bought something from a listing they saw here and just forgot they could come back "here" or anywhere else and leave a good review.
Guess you missed the 772 negative feedback.
See if this helps:
ripoffreport.com/directory/1-sale-a-day.aspx
Also try complaintsboard.
There all in google, so easy!!!
A lot more than 40.
This is internet marketing, not video card chit chat
Dibbs - First off there's no reason to get all personal about this. Secondly, blame Ben's for the busted link. Looks like their filter change it to be 1 Saladay, something I'm sure you've ran up against posting here at Ben's. As to your conclusion that providing a link to a known and for the most part reputable website, as I'm implicated in some conspiracy or complicity is completely unwarranted.
I will say most folk don't need to be informed what the purchased was; they're not there find a product review, just the purchase experience. While I'm not sure where the 772 negative feedback is reference from? Other than personally counting each of the 1-2 star posts I’m not sure how you'd arrive at that? While resellerratings you can sort, that only provides high-low, you then would need to click though something like 150 pages before you get those with the worst criticism. (Which is underhanded and suspect) You have a valid point that I checked; Ben's past listings going back to December, and other than your oink's and members like jujube, Thomas74 there's not much of folks saying they didn't have a good or bad experience. From reading through your 73 posts here with Ben's it's obvious you are personally vested in some type rancor with onesaleaday. Heck even on that 5870 listing (12/6) I said "#1 fear’s are founded"... that was you! Please I wasn't here to start anything or get caught up in some crusade.
So where does this leave us... just adding a link to what is normally a reliable site to find how a store/internet front or such conducts business cannot be purported as malice intent. Upon further review I did I point to the fact that some 160 post all magically popped up, (dave_I don't remember seeing that until after you amended your post) and I'm not representing/defending any party here.
For me this is concluded.
Casecutter - Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I have nothing personal against you, just commenting on comments.
You asked where do the 772 negative feedback come from. Makes me think you can't read.
To save you a trip back up the page:
"Better yet. check out the 772 negative ebay feedback"
Step by step.
1. go to ebay
2. click on advanced link (to the right of the search button)
3. click in find member on left side
4. type in 1saleaday and the captcha code
5. click search
6. click on the feedback score number link
7. click on the number for negative feed back (756 right now)
Bingo! All the negative feed back in one convenient location with out the need to go searching through pages.
Other than just about everything in your last 2 comments, here's the part that I don't get.
*Why the link?* It ABSOLUTELY serves no purpose other than to promote the vendor.
Your 1st comment says "Got one of these as a Christmas present at MicroCenter, after the rebate it was $20 so this is good price!
This listing is for a refurbished one. Apples and oranges. Don't get it. What does the link have to do with the item. The link, plain and simple says: Hey, check out this link I'm providing. Look at all the great reviews for this seller. Based on all these great reviews I (meaning you Casecutter) would recommend this seller.
Anyway, think about this. Right now there's 756 negative feedback for 1 month. Now let's just suppose that on average there are 250 a month. Now X 11 then add 756 = 3506 people that were negatively impacted. that's just the ones that bothered to do feedback.
I noticed you skipped over the complaintsboard and ripoffreport stuff.
Now add that and the consumeraffairs stuff to the mix and that SURE is a whopping bunch more than your pithy 40 you reported.
Hears the deal. I buy something listed as "new" from a reputable seller (Amazon, Buy, Walmart) I can be satisfied 100% in my mind that I…
Guess you missed the 772 negative feedback.
