When to Buy a Dell

I'm feeling more and more bummed about the deal I missed. A month ago, I spec'ed out and actually placed an order for this computer. I didn't feel so bad about cancelling it at first.

But then I've been pricing out the same system several times. Wow! I missed a deal. Today, the same system priced out at over $2000 shipped! That's about $700 more than I would have paid last month.

So I decided to do a little searching to see when the best time is to buy a Dell. The word is that they have the best deals at the end of their fiscal quarter. So this means the last week in april, July, October, and January. Generally, their rotating deals are about equal in dollar value, but some of the deals may interest you more than others.

Also get Dell coupons at TechBargains.

Next week (last week in April), I'll be pricing out the system again. If it comes back down to $1300 I just might pull the trigger...
