MF Coupon stacking

I'm thinking MF is crazy like a fox here. :) Adding up the discounts they're able to sell the items at about 25-30% off in most cases, probably close to cost or a little bit higher, but doubtful that they're losing money on anything here. Its not like the great GC stacking debacle of June 2010 where people were getting stuff for 60-70% off and having orders cancelled. And its not like this just started yesterday.

I'm guessing its not entirely by accident that this has been allowed to go on for this long.

I was wondering if I'd get the nasty-gram email about the order being cancelled...instead, I received a tracking number and an email saying it has shipped. Score!
 
Mine also shipped. Got the MrRebates email and the total said $256 but I really paid $236. It freaked me out because I thought MF edited the total and didn't give a coupon to me but I checked and my card was charged $236. Oh well I'll take an extra buck if they really want to give it to me.

My mrrebates was off a bit too. Weird.
 
So, My PF-210 came in last night. I was surprised to see it as they said it was backordered and shouldnt expect it until 1/9. So I open up the box and it is a returned cab. You can see that a PF-500 was attached to it at one point as there is holes in the tolex. Also when I took the lid off there was a power cable, speaker cable and the attachment screws where in there loose stuck to the magnets of the drivers. I am not very happy about it. There was no indication that this was a used or returned cab.

Give them a shout and you will probably get a brand new one in exchange.
 
So now that it's here I can finally brag. RETAILMENOT11, CALLSANTA, and BONUSSAVINGS saved me $251.77 on a "restock" Genz Benz Streamliner 900 (which started out being $849.99). So my sub-total was $598.22, but somehow MrRebates.com got me another $45 back, so it really will be $553.22 once that rebate arrives. 35% savings...not bad :D I had previously purchased a Streamliner 900 for $750 (using some $100 off thing that was running a month or so ago) but it was still within the 45-day return policy and I'd barely used it... so... returned that one, re-ordered using stacked coupons. Win. :D

Unfortunately none of these coupons are valid anymore and stacking doesn't appear to work either.
 
Not sure why but the Ampeg Heritage 410HLF (USA Made) cab is down to $749.99 from $899.99 at MF (not in stock but available 1/6/12). Add the REALLYWANT12 coupon and it's down to $637.49. Also they still have an additional 7% back going thru Mr. Rebates.

**they actually have 2 listings for the HSVT 410HLF, one for $749.99 & the other for the regular $899.99.**
