I know you'd pay sales tax on at least $85, maybe the full $100; I'm not
sure. Few would worry about the one dollar between them.

Same product, $64.41, no rebates:

Odd, of you remove the "&sgd=" part, they charge $65.73, which is about 1.5%
of their "retail" price different. I wonder how low of a price you can get.
That string is 20 chars, I bet it's hex which means 80 bits to flip. I can
see 2^80 http requests being not worth it.

Anyhow, it all depends how much hassle a rebate is (perceived to be), and
how badly you need this TODAY.
