I just found the message Dell sent me in 1999 to confirm my order and advise
of total charges. I ordered a computer only - no monitor - just a 'puter in
a tower and standard speakers. Nothing special. It cost $749.00 without
shipping cost.

Shipping cost was $120. This was for standard shipping.

They have dell store everywhere Op maybe you can pick up the same deal there
unless it was one of them online deals where you get a few bucks off and they
get the bucks back through shipping.......

See if the school has a deal with Dell and buy through that. Lots more
clout through an institution that as an individual. Maybe the bookstore?

I checked, but ya have to pay up-front. I preferred to pay the interest
charges, as my immediate gratification gene kicked in.

Yep, that was the deal Mike. For the convenience of havin' it shipped to my
house, I paid an extra $1000.

Op --can I negotiate a deal for anyone else?--

I got free shippin'--or so they said--valued at $49, rebate of $150 for
orderin' on line, and a nother rebate of $150 for gettin' the 4 yr. in home
warranty. Guess I could start another thread and ask folks when they know
they've been fleeced!

Op --suckered by the rebate--
