They're on clearance for $200 with an $80 rebate (either online or mail-in). Staples is the only store I will buy products with rebates because I don't think I've ever had an Easy Rebate rejected unless I was almost too late to submit it (it rejects it at night on the 59th day which was technically wrong but entirely my fault). Supposedly the rebate will still go through even though it's a clearance price. I've been on the fence about buying a 1400 vs Workforce 1100 (it is very important for me to be able to print bright, crisp cyan and sapphire blues and when I had a C88+ I could only print varying shades of navy blue). I plan on converting it to pigment, am currently researching reviews on a CIS for it.
I had found one in one Staples while looking for laser paper on clearance. It was the display model, when turned on the ink light was solid red, it was missing the CD tray, and the front door wouldn't stay closed. I asked for an extra discount on it but they refused. They looked up store inventory in my area but the only other one was a display model. I went to that store and they had one in a box too!
Of course today I saw a Workforce 1100 for $70... which is actually not as good a deal (30% off vs 60% off) but now I'm debating whether or not to pick that one up too...
