 Thank Me Later for anyone that's wondering and getting pissed at Toast for not posting it here so that we can all be less intelligent after knowing another useless acronym.

Don't even bother going to Titles, if you want something affordable.

 The only reason I go to titles is if I need something right away (like running out of lead before a test) but I would never get electronics from there.
 
On the other hand, i have recently discovered how ridiculously cheap ebay can be, i just bought 2 mousepads for $3 with free shipping

 I would risk buying cheap things off of eBay but anything expensive, no thanks.

 I just mean in general, i would never buy anything worth more then $20 at full price here off of ebay. but for little accessories, like a fan and a game i bought, they work fine

 I was just saying what came to mind. Never said you would buy anything more than $20.

		 Asides from Canada Computers theres also The Source at university plaza, they take SPC too so it might work out cheaper. If you dont mind waiting though I would shop online, Amazon, Tiger Direct, NCIX, Best Buy, etc.

		 you can try directCanada, i found it better then NCIX and they have free shipping on orders over $50, plus it took only like two business days to get here. Though if your getting insurance, they use a different shipper so it will take like 5 biz days or so.  
 
Can you RMA your mouse back? usually there's at least 1 year warranty, or maybe even more.

		 I got an M505 (this one specifically, there's a newer version that isn't as good) at Staples for about $20. It's great, works on pretty much anything.

12$ cheaper then best direct, you dont have to walk and you might even get free shipping
 
or if you want to pony up 20 more dollars you can get a g700, but i've found with even heavy mmo playing and pretty efficient keybinding you dont need more side buttons then the g500
