New to Google checkout? There’s a great deal still going on at Buy.com. Spend at least $10 and sign up for a Google checkout account to get $10 off. The best part? If you buy something that is exactly $10, like this Kingston 1GB USB flash drive, it’s completely free!
There is one catch – you may have to pay taxes or shipping, dependent on region. Word is a California resident was only charged $.72 cents, but in PA I got hit with $6.29. Ah well, maybe your state is one of the cheap ones.
(Thanks, K.C.!)
Nice find! Shipping to Houston appears to be free, with no sales tax either (odd, waiting for something to appear on my credit card online)

Sort of a bummer, but not surprising.
Joe- I got the same email. Hopefully the delay won’t last. Pour Kingston – kind of like the shopping equivalent of getting slashdotted.
