Not sure if this is done here.  I guess I will find out soon.  I saw a listing for a midi new in box thought someone could benefit

Whoever is selling is wanting the full price by the time you add shipping.

true enough but then there is the Microsoft rebate of 25% which is a decent savings that can't be had anyplace else

What's this rebate everybody is talking about and how do you get it?

Here is the info was for pretty much all festool stuff until Festool had the dealers pull all of the offerings off Amazon. Seems Festool has a problem with consumers getting a break on price even if it is on someone else's dime.

The first paragraph labeled i, states  ?Buy-It-Now? within sixty (60) minutes of clicking on an eBay paid search advertisement marked with the Live Search cashback logo (a ?Online Session?);

I don't see a cashback logo when doing a search in live.com for the midi.

Am I missing something? I don't think everything that comes up on as being on eBay when using live.com is eligible for the discount.

It has gone to being off and on.  Now you have to check back to see if Microsoft is offering it when you purchase.  It was on everytime I checked, up until today.  Only thing to do is check back from time to time.

The guy in charge of a large category at Microsoft (of which this payback for searching scheme was a very small part) was replaced. Gotta admit it's a pretty dumb idea from a business point of view.

The midi is mine.  It looks like Microsoft dropped the program on ebay.  I've dropped the price on the vac to $300 with buy it now, shipped it would be $335.

I just relisted this since the Cashback program is up and running.  After the cashback the midi would cost cost you $255, well below the $380 it costs from a dealer.

The vac is sold.
