Pay 1 cent, get a RAZR and $100. Seriously!

As a dealhunter, I've seen a few offers that have defied reason. Here's another one.

Drop by Amazon at this link and pick yourself up a nice new Motorola cell phone for the grand total of $0.01. Not a bad deal. But it get's better. You also qualify for a $100 rebate. Which means you get a spanky new phone and around $100 cash, all for buying something you want anyway.

Of course, you'll have to commit to a Cingular service plan, but if you're already on a service plan anyway, no biggie. And as Cingular has excellent covearge it's a service plan with one of the best providers out there. Now, if only I can get the same kind of deal on my next house. I doubt they'd ever do $250,000 rebates any time soon though. Shame.
