We just got a new wave of specials from Buy.com! Please note that typically some of these items sell out quickly, so your mileage will vary, depending on when you read this post. We will not be tracking their stock-status as time goes by. Please note, that just like Amazon, Buy.com offers items both of its own and also sold by third-party sellers. If you are not familiar with a particular third-party seller, be sure to investigate them as usual. Also please note, some of the specials mentioned below are factory-refurbished, so turn off your speed-reading mode, and pay attention :)
Camera and Video
If you don't object to refurbished, you can get the Flip Video Ultra (60-Minutes) for $70 with free shipping and handling. This is model F260PR (Pink). Again, please note this is factory Refurbished. There is a limit of five units per customer.
New in box is the silver Canon PowerShot SD990 IS for $365 with free shipping and handling. They beat the Amazon price on the silver model by $15+, however, if you prefer the black model, Amazon herself has it for $355.
Cutesy colorful mini-tripods with versatile legs for $10 with free shipping are featured in this next special. The model is the Sunpak Flex Pod Gripper Mini Tripod and they are available in the following colors:

Gadgets

Bill Gates is not singing, so fear not :) The 4gb Microsoft Zune 4GB MP3 player along with a FREE Microsoft Zune Car Pack headphones are offered for for $78 with free shipping and handling. This is the black Zune. That's a lot of gear for $78, if of course you do not have philosophical objections to MSFT gear :)

On the glorified digital picture frame front (which most people call HDTVs), you can get this 37" Panasonic 1080p LCD HDTV for $585.
Computers
On the computer-front, they offer the HP Pavilion Elite M9500F Desktop for $540 with free shipping. This has a 2.4GHz Phenom-9750 processor, 8GB of memory, 750GB disk, and 64-bit Vista. This is factory refurbished!!!
Laptopwise, the Asus F50SF-A1 is offered for $900 with free shipping. This has a 16" screen, the Intel Core 2 Duo P8700 2.53GHz processor, 4GB memory, 320GB hard disk, the NVIDIA GeForce GT 220M memory, DVD Super Multi Format (includes DVD-RAM for Panasonic fans), wireless (802.11b/g/n), webcam, 6-Cell battery and (yikes!) Vista Home Premium.
On the affordable yet recent, the HP CQ60-417DX Notebook for $364 with free shipping and handling. This is a factory REFURBISHED unit, and uses a single-core Celeron 900 2.2GHz processor, so it is not ideal for processor-intensive applications. Other than that, it has plenty of "modern era" features: 3GB memory, 160GB disk, dvd burner (8X), Intel GMA 4500M, 15.6" TFT Active Matrix display, and 64-bit Vista Premium (kinda ironic to call that mess "Premium" but that's another story for another blog)
Getting even smaller, for $220 with free shipping they are offering the HP MINI 1116NR netbook, which has the Atom processor, 1GB memory, 16GB disk, 8.9-inch display, and the other netbookie features, including Windows XP. This is Factory Refurbished.
Memory time! For $33 with free shipping you can get the Future Memory 1GB DDR SDRAM 333MHZ 200-Pin SODIMM Laptop Memory. Be sure to make it's compatible with your computer, as not everything is interoperable with everything.
