I've been looking for last year's OD/OM/Staples/BB/CC flyers for a project. But since most of them cannot be located with simple date changes in the picture links, I've had little success.

For example,
htt p://images.crossmediaservices.com/dyn_rppi/760.0.90.0/officedepot/large/040711_01ZA.jpg
is the first page of OD's July 11, 2004 flyer, but
htt p://images.crossmediaservices.com/dyn_rppi/760.0.90.0/officedepot/large/040718_01ZA.jpg
does not give the first page of OD's July 18, 2004 flyer but a 404 error.
And even worse, I don't have any idea how to get any of Staples old flyers.

Is it possible to get these? If so, could someone point me a way to do it? Thanks!

That's an interesting question. The only advice I'd be able to offer is to search through old posts and see if the links are still active. Sometimes people hosted scans of the ads and the links may still work.

Thanks, Alan! I searched the whole Internet & Retail Deals forum but only found limited number of flyers. It would be great if I can figure out some general patterns of those pages at crossmediaservices.
