    Im checking the outlet prices most of the time but last 6-8 weeks there arent any discounts as used to be before (such as -200, price shown in red).
    I noticed that happens since e1405 came out.
    I also wonder if its unusal for the outlet store and can we espect these discounts in the future?

    It also all the people running scripts to pick up to cheap configs to sell back on eBay, they have them set up to watch during the time Dell drops the systems to the outlet and the good ones will be gone before any of the regular people even get a chance at them :mad:

    Well i know they can pick the hot deals, put them in the cart and hold them for X hours until the scripter is ready to check out. Probably can do the full checkout too, if you know what your doing.
