    Yeah I know that, just wondering if people were to haggle the price down from website prices. Like the agent told me he can gave me $50 off of listed price. Has anyone got a better deal than just list price????

    10% off through Dell.com/epp
    3% more if you have/use a Dell Preferred Account.
    Then you look for stackable coupons. ;)

    just go to dell.com/epp. Use the menu to select the area you work in and that's it.

    nope never have. My employer is part of the program but they never check. They may ask when you call but they don't verify it.

    Someone said that with Dell you need to play the "patience game" and I found that's so true. The first Dell rep I talked to told me that "7% is what I could offer, you need to be quick to grab that amazing deal because it's running short" blah blah... OK #$&* him!!! The 2nd rep is a girl and it's a week later since the first time. She told me "hey boy there is no deal for you at the moment. Do you want to purchase it now for $2,770?". WT EFF :eek: I was in EPP link when I talked to her and she was looking into my cart OK then b**ch. Then I found a really nice guy. He talked patiently and politely and my price dropped amazingly from $2,770 to $2,467.75 inclusive everything! It's a even better deal than EPP 10%. So strategy here is call then hang up until you find your chosen one ;)

    By the way EPP is just how Dell call their discount. It doesn't matter if you are employee or employer or not. A nice rep won't be bother asking you about that.
