OK I have seen some wacky sales on the X10 pages.
Today's shows what is called "Certified Like New" modules.  :'

Maybe that is where the Scratch and Dent stuff went.

Comments?

I'd say it has better terms than the Scratch and Dent sale:

"A word from our uptight lawyers: Due to the nature of the Scratch and Dent Tent Sale items and their "Scratch and Dent" condition, we can only offer a 30-day refund for only the purchase price.
Beyond the 30-day refund, there is NO WARRANTY as to the function or merchantability of these products. These offers are not available in Canada."

...As opposed to:

"Certified Like New - 1-year replacement warranty included"

>!

Yes scratch and dent was a poor comparison.  ???

Hey, why not available in Canada? :(

Speaking of good deals, has anyone seen a really good deal on door/window sensors? I could use some more of them..... :'

Certified Like New is available in Canada.   :)%

I've got a screaming deal over the phone for door/window sensors. Call 1-800-316-0075. Let them know you want some DS10A's and give them the promo code MT656

Thanks!

OK so I phoned in and gave the above info and they said that promo code MT656 is for the MINI-TIMER! Is there another promo code for the DOOR/WINDOW SENSOR aka DS10A?

My favorite DS-10A sale is the 7 for $19.99:  http://www.x10.com/promotions/ds10a_ed_pk_1m_promo.html

I would love for them to beat it in the "Name your price" event!  $15 - Now that would be a deal! ;D

I guess scratch and dent is preferable to SCratch and Sniff...Lol! Sorry couldn't help myself. But on a more serious note (if that's possible) I just got my software download from the "Certified" sale and am very optimistic. The price was rather surprising and I have high hopes that this is just the first of many purchases if my old technologically declined brain can make everything work.  Oh, by the way...hello everyone! >!

PS: I'm going to use my "new" active home system for home/security and Holiday displays mostly I think...

Welcome to the forum TD!!!   :)%  Don't worry about being an old timer, most of us are!  Yes x10 can be a lot of fun but, it can be a little trying at some times.  But if you hang in there we at the forums are here to help!  Between all of us there isn't anything we can't figure out!  (I think anyway!)  Again Welcome!  :)%

I can answer the question Brian asked to open this thread... you might not like it or find it funny. I spoke with customer support online and at the 800 number. They not only wouldn't answer the question but left me with a whole lot more questions.
Here's what happened: I ordered the 50 dollar "certified like new activehome package". When it shipped this happened:
Qty Description Part

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1 Certified Like New: Appliance Module 3-Pin AM466SD
1 Scratch-n-Dent ActiveHome Pro Interface CM15SD
1 Certified Like New: PalmPad Remote HR12ASD
4 Certified Like New: SocketRocket Lamp Module LM15ASD
1 Certified Like New: Lamp Module LM465SD
1 EagleEye Motion Sensor MS14A
Do you see the scratch and dent? I called them about this. I asked if Scratch and dent was the same as like new. Neither even acknowledged the question. I asked repeatedly and was ignored. The closest I got to an answer was: When we run out of like new we substitute "Sc ratch n dent. So they're the same... no answer. So one is better and you use your referb leftovers when thwe like new are gone? No answer. 
So is there a difference? I couldn't find out. I also asked how scratch could be the same as like new. No answer. I was finally directed to the "supervisors" who have not answered yet.  I must admit to being very concerned. I must admit to feeling that I have been somehow downgraded and asked that they add something to make equal into equal since I didnt get like new. Why wouldnt they call it LIKE new if it is equal.? They also said not to worry about the one year like new being honored because thats what I ordered. I pointed out that all over their site they say that scratch and dent is thirty days then forget it while one year is one year. Dont worry they said. Can you send me a quick email so I have something in writing? Your site is very specific. No answer.  I asked several times and was assured it would be ok if I needed help. So why is it so hard to send something that'll take 10 seconds so i can have my mind set at ease?  Or at least point me to something on their site that states that.   W@ow. Am I stressed.  TD >*<
