Why is it that Dell has no good coupons when I want to buy some?

[Kaido]

I need to get two basic office machines with 17" CRTs for $1k or less, and now all the deals are gone. What's up with that? I thought they always had the $299 computer deals lying around. Any suggestions?

if you aren't pressed for time, just wait. Dell deals come around pretty frequently.

I'm having the same problem buying an Inspiron 700m.

Dell's not really doing any deals for a while. It's been mentioned in several forums, such as the Hot Deals forum here and fatwallet.com

Dell said when they released their last quarterly earnings report that they may have gone too far with the coupon specials.

 

don't forget fatwallet cash back for the extra 3%

I'm glad I got in on my 700m before the last batch of coupons expired.
There have been rumors that Dell was going to do away with big coupons

Yep that will probably affect future deals, coupons, rebates, etc. I hope the infamous Dell Inspiron $750 off $1499 coupon returns, one day.

Has anyone else noticed that the Dell Small Business Outrageous Deals have suddenly disappeared?

A few months ago you could have easily purchased a Dell Dimension 3000 with 17" CRT for $299 AR with free shipping.
