The 40% and 30% coupons ended last night. There is a 15% off coupon good this weekend, but not much else. You're better off waiting for next week's deals.

LOL. Almost every year you see some "ladies" with hand-made shirts that say something like "Christmas Shopper Coming Through - Get Out of My Way!" I might have to get some GottaDeal.com baseball caps made....

Don't worry - there are still 2+ weeks left in Dell's quarter, so there are bound to be some more equally hot deals coming up...

LOL. I built my first PC in 2000 and have continuously upgraded parts and I think only the floppy drive remains now from the original version, yet I still consider it the same computer.

There is a big thread on FW about how you can get an 8400 with TWO 2001FP 20" LCDs for around $1400. Here is the config if anyone wants to try to do it: Dimension 8400 Pentium® 4 Processor 530 with HT Technology (3GHz, 800 FSB) S308H [221-5710] 1 Operating System Microsoft® Windows® XP Home Edition with Service Pack 2 WHXP [313-7222][412-0409][412-0688][463-2282][420-4834] 11 Memory SAVE $110! 1GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 533MHz (2x512M) 1GB5P [463-1265] 3 Keyboard Dell Quietkey® Keyboard QK [310-1582] 4 Monitor 20.1 in 2001FP Dell Ultrasharp™ Digital Flat Panel Display 2001FP [320-3850] 5 Video Card 128MB PCI Express™ x16 (DVI/VGA/TV-out) ATI Radeon™ X300 SE X300SE [320-3934] 6 Hard Drive 160GB Serial ATA Hard Drive (7200RPM) 160S [341-1056] 8 Floppy Drive and Additional Storage Devices No Floppy Drive Included NFD [340-8442] 10 Mouse Dell Optical USB Mouse OM [310-4037] 12 Network Interface Integrated Gigabit Ethernet IN [430-0742] 13 Modem 56K PCI Data/Fax Modem DFAX [313-2279] 14 Document Management Adobe® Acrobat® Reader 6.0 AAREAD [412-0705] 15 CD ROM/DVD ROM Dual Drives: 16x DVD + FREE UPGRADE! 16x DVD+RW/+R w/ dbl layer write DV16DVP [463-2108][430-0945] 16 Sound Card Integrated 5.1 Channel Audio IS [313-2758] 17 Speakers No Speaker Option N [313-2198] 18 Productivity Software WordPerfect®, Powerful Word Processing CORELM [412-0551][412-0701] 22 Security Software Norton Internet Security™, 90 day trial NIS90 [412-0626] 25 Digital Music Dell Jukebox - easy-to-use music player and CD burning software MMBASE [412-0691] 27 Digital Photography Paint Shop™ Pro® Trial plus Photo Album™ Starter Edition DPS [412-0521] 28 Limited Warranty, Services and Support Options 1Yr Ltd Warranty, 1Yr At-Home Service, and 1Yr Technical Support S111OS [950-1260][950-3337][950-9797][412-0360][960-2800] 29 Dial-up Internet Access 6 Months of America Online Membership Included AOLDHS [412-0585][412-0625][420-3224][412-0687] 37 Optional Second Monitor 20.1 in 2001FP Dell Ultrasharp™ Digital Flat Panel Display 2001FP [320-3850] 45 Dell Media Experience Dell Media Experience™ DMX [412-0660] 115

REPOST!!! ban him immediately!

Why would you sell one MX-500 and get a new one? Do you want the backlight? You'd get $40-50 for the used one most likely. That is if this isn't the new price for the model now that the new models are out.

Most of their laptop (and desktop?) promotions (rebates, upgrades, etc...) end today, so it'll be interesting to see what they come out with tomorrow to combine with the coupons. These kinds of deals will continue until the end of the month as it's the end of Dell's fiscal quarter, so it'll be an interesting 2-3 weeks :) Don't be surprised if they bring back the $500 coupon for a few more hours :)

I didn't want to say anything

Some more just sent to us: $200 off Inspiron Laptops $999+ $350 off Inspiron Laptops $1499+ $250 off Dell W1700 17" LCD TV $300 off Dell W2300 23" LCD TV

Anyone who is looking for a good universal remote - do not pass up this deal. Cheapest price I've seen prior to today was $80.

Just a heads up that there will be some new Dell coupons tomorrow: $25 off $250 in Electronics & Accessories 30% off Dimension Desktops $999 and up 40% off Dimension Desktops $2499 and up The $25 coupon is unique because the minimum $250 amount is lower that it usually is. The 40% off Dimension coupon could be a huge discount. Configure your dream system with a huge LCD :) Coupon codes will appear at 8am CST tomorrow morning :)

I picked up 24 and Buffy yesterday. Might order KOTH and Millenium as well...

I'm probably going to keep it. If I already had a laptop I would consider selling it, but there are so many of these on eBay now since so many people bought them last week to sell, so I wouldn't make much on it anyway. Plus when I saw Dell's print ad in my Sunday paper, they had virtually the same configuration for $1499, so to get it for $799 (minus the tax deduction ), it's too hot of a deal not to keep it for myself, lol.

Well my 700m shipped last night

There are 2 memory slots, one you can get to from the bottom, and the other you have to pop off the keyboard to get to.

While we wait for the first ads... Does anyone have any good Black Friday "war stories" from previous years?

Anyone have their system ship yet? Mine is in the final "Boxing" stage so it should be shipping any day now. Just ordered a stick of 512MB Corsair memory from ZipZoomFly for $87 with free 2nd day shipping. I'm considering this sleeve for it as well.

Agreed. The only 2 consoles I own are SNES and Dreamcast. Some great games for both of those systems.

I just posted a deal for the Elura 60 that Ross mentioned: http://forums.gottadeal.com/showthread.php?t=2729 Not as hot as his "potential" deal, but still pretty good with 2 stackable coupons.

Another option is the 512MB Sandisk Cruzer for $29.88 AR at J&R: http://www.jr.com/JRProductPage.process?Product=3960826

I don't really see any really hot deals on those models now. ECost has an OK price on the 14 model, but nothing else that I can see right now. Give it another month and see what BF and the online stores have to offer. Dell usually has good deals on camcorders - many times 15-20% off plus $40 coupons, but they carry mostly Canon models.

There is a chance that there will be 2-3 really nice camcorder deals, but chances are any camcorder deal you'll see on BF will have been available online in the last few months. The "regular" prices are so high at places like BB that even the sale prices are not anything really hot. What particular model(s) are you looking for? Maybe we can find you a deal somewhere now.

This is an amazing deal - a quality Dell LCD for $249.25 plus $13 shipping. No rebate hassle either. The $35 coupon expires after 1500 uses, so order soon if you want in.

Bobby - it was a $500 coupon and $200 rebate. The coupon has expired now.
