Does Dell lower the price of its refurbs?

[JHawk]

I know Dell turns a lot of stock at its refurb site. Just curious does anyone know if they lower the price until a system sells or does it stay the same price once it is posted on the board??

Thx in advance,

i've seen a lot of old systems stay at the same price and never get sold. of course they might have changed it since i last looked

Every now and agian they have a sale and clear out the inventory.

Which Dell model are you looking at and what's your budget?

Most of the 'current' systems I've looked at get sold pretty quickly and replaced with 'new' returned inventory. So, if your wondering if a certain machine will be cheaper tomorrow than today, probably not. Now, they do have sales in that department (and of course over time, equivalent units offered get offered at lower prices as the price of the real 'new' units trends down).

I've bought a number of machines from the refurb department, had one bad one (bad motherboard), but they came out next day and replaced it. Saved a good $1000 on that system too, so it was worth the hassle. Lately the deals haven't looked that good, but I still would look at them first when thinking of getting another dell.
