Yeah you can get it cheaper through Dell's EPP programme.

Guys have you checked the spec?
It claims to have a Blu-Ray drive within it- that must be a fair bit of the cost.
Also has 7950gtx and Upgraded display.

I think it seems a little bit weird with all bidders named bidder1,bidder2, etc...
Maybe Dell is trying to push up the price, since they wouldn't sell below the market cost....

I just think there's something fishy about all this PCs and laptops.....

Just my opinion,

To help keep the eBay community safe, enhance bidder privacy, and protect our members from fraudulent emails (such as fake second chance offers), eBay has changed how bid history information is displayed. If you place a bid on a higher-priced item, only you and the seller of the item can view your User ID in the bid history. Other members can no longer view User IDs and will see anonymous names, such as Bidder 1.

Fair enough its a good spec but my point is why the hell do they start bidding so soon. They could have left it till the last hour at least... U used to be able to pick up bargins on the the ebay outlet.. Espec the desktops, now there's no point.. U can get one from dell with a lcd etc for less money

You're dealing direct with Dell, no middleman.

unklerosco is right. I used to buy from the Ebay Outlet a fair bit but don't bother anymore.
