Hindsight is $300

I got another promo email from Dell this weekend and I've been itching to upgrade one of our ancient desktops. Their rotating specials are now a harddrive upgrade, burner upgrade, free shipping and $100 rebate. Plus I got a $25 off coupon code. So, on a whim, I go back and price out a system very similar to the one I almost got.

This one's about $300 more, even after the rebate! If I don't get any monitor at all, muchless an LCD, it prices out the same as the system I cancelled.

I'm bummed now. That deal was better than I thought. It's all about timing. I guess I'll wait for another one... Posted by Chris on 3/29/2004 01:47:00 PM :: Permalink
