When I said that I couldn't go ahead with that she told me to take her ext and call her back when I was ready to proceed. I said not to worry as I could not possibly spend more than £700 and told her my card was waiting but I'd have to leave it. Surely a 6.25% discount is a bit low?
I've heard of 10, 20 30 % offers I guess I just wait now and see if they call back:)
You could try do a £700 order with e.g. a reduced CPU. Then when it comes to ordering say "I'll buy now if you up the CPU to 'blah' for the same price".
Re: Dell Haggling.........
I got to haggle free delivery and £80 saving on mine... also swapped Vista Business with Home Premium which isn't really a haggle but a preference. I'm the most unassertive guy in the world, but I guess as long as you seem unsure if you want to go ahead with them on the phone but sure that you need a laptop, you can save at least something.
