Taking advantage of rebates can be a frustrating experience in general. Among the thousands of consumers who bought discounted Connect3D memory cards and LCD TVs sold on Buy.com in January, however, many say they're living through the mother of all rebate fiascos.

In the seven months since Buy.com offered the rebate promotions, Buy.com has filed a lawsuit against Connect3D, the U.S. division of Connect3D appears to have vanished, and most of the Buy.com customers promised a rebate by Connect3D have yet to receive it.
