Hasta La Gadget!

I wish I could buy you all the deals in today’s Cheap Geek column. But I’m a little short right now, so maybe you could buy them for me.

1. Hey, this one’s pretty good. You can get a refurbished RCA HD50LPW175 50-inch plasma DLP HDTV for $499 from Tiger Direct. It offers 720p resolution and comes with a three-month warranty, in case you get a dud. If you’ve been dreaming of a giant screen but without the giant price tag, give this a try.

2. This is the cheapest portable video player you’re going to find, probably. Anyway, it’s way cheap. Buy.com is selling the Philips GoGear 2GB MP3 and video player for $23.99, and that’s with free shipping. Yes, it’s refurbished. It’s still a deal.

3. If you need a little spring break, fly away with CheapTickets.com and pay no booking fees on flights. This special lasts until May 31.

It’s tax season, and I’m feeling extra cheap these days. Prepare for some really good deals.

1. The buyers have spoken–and they want video cameras that are compact yet offers great features. If you want more than a Flip camera can deliver, look to this Samsung SC-MX20 camcorder. Buy.com is offering it for $198.68, with free shipping. The SC-MX20 has a big 34X optical zoom, image stabilization, and face detection. And while it doesn’t have on-board storage, the camera takes up to 32GB storage cards for 30 hours of recording time.

2. If you’ve been looking for an HD radio, you’re not going to find a better deal than this. And it’s an iPod dock. And it plays CDs. Grab the LG Tabletop iPod Docking Station (PC12) from NewEgg.com for the crazy low price of $68.00 (with free shipping).

3. The Mac community has been buzzing about the amazing MacHeist 3 Bundle. For the next 13 hours (as of this writing) you can get 14 Mac applications with a total value of $980.70 for only $39.00. The reason for the deal is that 25 percent of the price goes to charity. Swing on over and see what’s being offered.

Bonus deal: Hotels.com just launched 24-hour sales, with more than 100 sales each week.

1. Save a bundle on a refurbished GPS and you’ll have a buck or two left over for gas. Tiger Direct has refurbished Magellan Roadmate 1200 navigators for only $59.99. The Roadmate is a great line with an easy interface and attractive maps. This model has a 3.5-inch screen, a 1.3 million points-of-interest database, and a QuickSpell feature that makes entering addresses much faster.

2. Keep your iPhone or iPod charged for less. Apple accessories cost way too much, which is why you should consider this Cables Unlimited AC adapter if you need a spare. Use it for an iPhone, iPod, or anything else that can charge through a USB port.

3. It’s Friday and sitting on the couch all weekend playing video games is starting to sound real good. Grab a copy of Sega Superstars Tennis for the Xbox 360 from Amazon for only $10.83.

These prices are so low, you’d think were fooling you! But, no, we’re not.

1. What’s the best thing about driving with a GPS? The fact that you can just turn your brain off and zone out. That sounds dangerous–and it probably is–but driving becomes so relaxing: No more looking at every street sign to make sure you’re making the correct turn, and no more counting the exits; you can just blindly turn where the machine tells you to turn while thinking about other things. If you’d like that kind of driving serenity, snatch up this refurbished Garmin Nuvi 770 from Buy.com. It’s got a 4.3-inch screen, Bluetooth, and an FM transmitter, and it’s selling for the low price of $264.99.

2. The price of memory cards sure has fallen. Buy.com says the list price of this SanDisk 4GB Memory Stick Pro Duo card is $149.99, but it’s going now for only $15.41. Add on shipping and the total package is $21.97. Not bad; 4GB will store a lot of photos.

3. Rock out for less with this deal on a Guitar Hero wireless Les Paul controller for PlayStation 3. While the regular price is $49.99, you can grab one for only $19.99.

I can take apart the remote control and I can almost put it back together. Oh, and I can also bring you the day’s best tech deals.

1. Say it with me: “Excuse me, I believe you have my stapler…” Now we can all have Milton’s stapler. Amazon is offering a super deal on a red Swingline (keep it, because it doesn’t bind up as much). Grab one for only $14.55 and don’t let anybody take it, ever. “If they take my stapler then I’ll set the building on fire…” Easy, Milton.

2. A penny doesn’t even buy you a real blackberry, let alone the phone named after the fruit–except that it does right now on Amazon. Get a BlackBerry Curve 8310 with a new service plan from AT&T for $.01.

3. How about getting a robot to vacuum your house? Rosie from The Jetsons isn’t available, so pick up this iRobot Roomba instead. Buy.com is offering the Roomba 530 for the fantastic price of $159.99 (a 60 percent savings), and that includes free shipping.
