Update:

$300 coupon no longer valid.
You snooze you lose.
--------------

Looks like original outrageous option doesn't stack with the $300 off anymore. However, the regular system config:

P4 3.0Ghz
512MB RAM
40GB HDD
19" LCD
DVD+RW Burner

http://www1.us.dell.com/content/products/c...zPbHa0038155069

still stacks with the $300 off coupon ( 0M$FRC7G$0H7TC ) + the new 10% off coupon.

Get your 10% off coupon here http://www.bargainshare.com/index.php?showtopic=60082

so your final price is $557 with the above specs.

------------------------------Deal Below is now dead -------------------
use this link to credit B$:
1. http://www.bargainshare.com/goto.php?http:...fpage=dimension
2. click on the dimension 8400
3. apply code: 0M$FRC7G$0H7TC for $300 off $899

be sure the $100 Rebate shows on your order detail page.
be sure to choose the free dual drive cdrom+cdrw

note: the $300 off $899 is not supposed to work for dell outrageous deals so this will probably get pulled very quickly. Act quick if you want this system.

This is tempting. For the previous poster, I wouldn't pay the +$69 for the CD-RW and DVD-ROM. You can get the CD-ROM and CDRW Dual Drives for free and buy a black DVD-ROM from newegg for like $20, or a 16x DVD+RW for $50ish.

I heard this monitor sucks, so if you are going to unload that to someone else I guess it dosen't really matter.

jambali

4-11-05, 5:13pm

yeah I agree that you can get better deals elsewhere for the dvd+rw. I am actually planning to unload the 19" monitor on ebay and use the 2005fpw monitor I got last week for $449.

512MB RAM
40GB HDD
19" LCD
DVD+RW Burner

http://www1.us.dell.com/content/products/c...zPbHa0038155069

still stacks with the $300 off coupon + the new 10% off coupon.

so your final price is $557 with the above specs.

For those of you getting in on SB deals today and want to make/save a little more, I am always looking for OEM copies of MS Office Basic 2003 (and Acrobat 6, which is offered on some Optiplex systems). Dell is offering Office for $29 on many systems right now, and I'm willing to pay MUCH more than that. PM me if you're interested.

They are going on ebay for $225 and ebay is now going to be getting flooded with people who will putting up their LCD. Prices will most likely go below $200. Not to mention that you can get one right now for $269 straight from dell on another thread going on right now. So it isn't that bad of a deal.

I didn't want to get this further since it's kinda off topic. But checked it anyway: Go to eBay, search for E193FP, filter to get flat panels only, check Completed Listings. I did a quick calculaltion of the average prices for 44 most recently closed auctions.

The mean winning bid was $250.21 and the mean shipping charge was $64.50, which gives a mean final price of $314.71!

Edit:
Here are the median values: $250.50, $64.99, $312.62.
And mode: $265, $82.99, $334.98.
And S.D. if you want: $30.46, $13.30, $27.46.

Ebay has about 10% fees. so even if it is around $300 you are minusing about $30. leaving you a total of $270. A net gain of possibly $20 and when ebay gets flooded you may not even get that much.

jambali

4-12-05, 10:47am

actually ebay alone is like ~4% and paypal is like ~3%. You pay a bigger percentage for lower value items.

I sold one of these monitors earlier this year for $300 + $50 S&H. The ebay fees came to $13 and the paypal fee was $8.

Anyhow, we're getting way off topic. These posts should probably be moved to Deal Discussion so the rest of the thread can concentrate on the Dell deal.

Had a question on the $100 rebate for this item. If you purchased two systems together, are you still eligible for 2 x $100 rebates? Do you send in one rebate submission? How do Dell rebates work? It is confusing since the rebate form says "5 Rebates per promotion period per customer", but then it says below that, "One rebate per qualifying purchase". Can someone clarify, please? Thanks.

I'll have to add this answer to the Dell FAQ.

You will be eligible for $200 in rebates. You only send one submission.
You can get a rebate form + packing slip by going to this link:
Dell Small Business populated rebate forms
Find your order number in the list provided. It will only show up if it has already shipped.
Print out the corresponding PDF file.
Just sign & date it & mail it in. It shows exactly how much you will be getting right on the form.

No, I'm truly an exception to the law of averages.

In fact, I think that Dell has someone monitoring my activities, simply so that they can wait until I'm otherwise busy and occupied before offering these sorts of deals.

Nixon's Law: "Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you."
