Anyone work for dell?

Hi i need tips for haggling with dell as i want to buy a 2707WFP 27 lcd.

I can get a refurb one for £465 off ebay but wonder if its possible to get close to that price with dell themselves.

dell want £734.08
incl. VAT, shipping

Theyll give you 10% off without even bothering to haggle. If you want more I am not entirely sure how to get it.

I have seen people report upto 15-20% reduction on monitor prices on further haggling.

If you arent in a rush, ring up (make sure you give them your phone number) and tell them somewhere local is doing it for such and such a price (if you can find a link, even out of stock, thats good as well)...they will usually tell you that they can only give a certain percentage off (maybe 12&#37..so you then say, nah, Ill try somewhere else...

Someone will usually ring you back in the next few days. They did it with me twice.

Thanks all, will be interesting to try.

I always found it amusing that when haggling with them, they'd ask you for your account name and password so they can see into your basket!

Let us know if you have any luck I've been eyeing one up myself. They were briefly £680 all in about two weeks ago and with a quidco discount that took it to about £650. So I suppose 600-650 would be a good price.

[Sinizter]

If they were 680 and you got a 10-12% discount that would bring it down to £600 anyway. This is in addition to the quidco cashback.

I tend to order through quidco and then call them up to haggle. But you might be able to get marginally better deals if you haggle with them on the phone before ordering it.

It never hurts to say stuff like "I have been a loyal customer for many years" or "I always get my monitors from dell" etc etc...
