Holy Smokes! Awesome Deals at a Group-Buying Site!

Anyone want a 40% discount on name-brand hardware, software, electronics, and even cars?  You do? Well, you are in luck.  Due to the infinite wisdom of an Internet company, which, like all other Internet companies, cares more about marketshare than about profits, you can get insanely great discounts on almost anything from Palm OS software to digital cameras.

The Internet company in question is a group-buying site called Accompany.com.  "Group-buying" is a rather new phenomenon in which a website allows a customer to obtain volume discounts on a product by grouping them with other customers interested in the same product.  While the group buying process along can save you as much as 20%, Accompany.com has sweetened the deal by offering an additional 20 - 25% discount on all of its products through its New York Times co-branded site.

To use the 25% discount, visit http://www.accompany.com/nytimes and, during the purchase process, enter the promotion code "thanks2u" in the correct field.  To use the 20% discount, enter the promotion code "GroupNYT". The 25% discount is limited to the first 5,000 customers, so if you are interested, you should act quickly.  If you are too late for the 25%  discount, the 20% discount has no listed expiration date or limit.

Here are a few of the awesome deals that the promotion codes make possible:

* Palm V with Hotsync Cradle: MSRP = $329.  With 25% discount at Accompany.com = $191.25 ($183.71 if several hundred more people decide to buy)

* Kodak DC290 Digital Camera: MSRP = $899.  With 25% discount at Accompany.com = $494.96 ($487.46 if 66 more people decide to buy)

* Nintendo 64 with Star Wars Racer Game: MSRP = $149.  With 25% discount at Accompany.com = $74.26 ($64.46 if ten more people decide to buy)

* Panasonic DVDC220 DVD Player: MSRP = $499.95.  With 25% discount at Accompany.com = $221.00 ($213.75 if fifty or so more people decide to buy)

This is one of those rare "use it or lose it" offers, so if you have been craving something that Accompany.com offers, now would be a fantastic time to endulge yourself!
