I can't agree with you.

- dell's website and coupon policy is very very tricky. this i know.

- but it is very very good to buy other venders stuff at dell website.

let me give you some my own experience
- in 2002, i bought a sony f707 for $1k, in less than a month, dell sold it for $720,
- a week ago, i bought another sony n1, about $400, then a couple of days later, with all the coupon stuff, dell sold it for abt $340.
- i am buying sometging, bought some coupon, with a 99c coupon, you save $25. it is cheaper compare to CC even with MIR.

whne you buy electrinics, check price against dell first.
