€50 off coupon - 1C46NRDHXGKLWFZ

Soarer · 15-03-2011 1:34pm

Now that I look again ShaunC, in your opening post, you say the price is €392.
But further down the first page when you post the spec of the Vostro, it says that the total is €299.50 including VAT and delivery.

Which price is it?

I got an email from Dell this morning with the 50% discount and because it is "high end" there is a €150 discount already

following the steps above I can get to

Price

Subtotal

Ex. VAT & Shipping

So it looks like the 50% off price would still be ex vat & del? Is the discount link/code unique to your dell account?

fmul9798 · 15-03-2011 1:51pm

Any chance you could share or PM the code before it expires tonight?

Grump3 · 15-03-2011 1:51pm

Still a stunning deal. Would bite someones hand off for one of those €300 quid off codes...:p

kneejerk · 15-03-2011 2:00pm

Pm'd you earlier.

Jonny7 · 15-03-2011 2:01pm

You've gone and whipped them up into a frenzy!

It was an e-mail to me as a previous business customer, it said I could get 5% 15% 25% or 50% off depending on the "random" code

fmul9798 · 15-03-2011 2:04pm

Says last day for the 150 off is today, presumably means 16th expiry is midnight on 15th ?

kneejerk · 15-03-2011 2:22pm

If you PM me your a/c details for the voucher I can purchase one for both of us

oneweb · 15-03-2011 2:29pm

I'd like to express my interest in a code if there's one to spare, please?

Sorry ShaunC misread your post, thought you were unable to purchase before the expiry!

I am still interested as per earlier PM

jamesbrond · 15-03-2011 2:35pm

I called a friend working in Dell and asked if he could get me this deal.
He did, and put it through for me on the spot. Now there is a dent in my credit card.

So if you know anyone in Dell give them a call. They should be able to help.

It would be only fair to pm the codes to the first 5 people who pm'ed the OP to express interest.

or the first people who asked on the thread and not people who are trying to skip the queue?

Helper_Monkey · 15-03-2011 3:10pm

i would also really appreciate getting in on this!

Xandra · 15-03-2011 3:49pm

Please, I want the code too.

PM Me.

quarryman · 15-03-2011 4:07pm

Love watching the bitching and moaning that goes on when a bargain like this pops up; "I was here first etc" - from a poster with 1 post.

NeedaNewName · 15-03-2011 4:17pm

The code can only be used once. Read dells coupon terms and conditions. And they reserve the right to "review" orders. I'd paste a link but I'm on an iPhone.

mik_da_man · 15-03-2011 4:23pm

I just got a mail from dell about some error on the codes yesterday and they gave me a new one. Only 5% though...

I have a feeling they have copped on......

Soarer · 15-03-2011 4:39pm

Hopefully ShaunC will get his.

Twould be proper bad luck if, by trying to help others out, he missed out on it too!

So that was a catch! :mad:

Tea_Bag · 15-03-2011 8:33pm

Replied to your PM there if you've time to check it. Im ready to go ahead anyway.

BTW, is there an option to switch the windows 7 from 32bit to 64bit? it should be at no extra cost, and makes a big difference in being able to utilize all that ram.

Soarer · 15-03-2011 8:38pm

It's XP 32-bit.

kala85 · 15-03-2011 8:41pm

is the code only available for five laptops per customer??

I was going to post "Genuine Windows® 7 Professional with XP Mode Installed 32 bit" too.

OP is you have a spare one I'll give ya 450 for it.

actually, after putting together the same system on Dells website, it looks like almost nothing is customisable, including changing to W7 x64. a real pitty. ill see if i have a spare licence somewhere, 32bit can only see/utilise upto 3.2gb of RAM.
I was really hoping to get it in red too

a real shame.

sorry NeedaNewName, i cant do that, its immoral (for those ahead of the line) and probably againsed boards rules ie profiteering.

and tbh, ive no idea if im in with a system myself, i just got a PM from the OP after sending him one early in the morning. no reply yet anyway.

commandz · 15-03-2011 9:26pm

Sounds good. I'm interested.

Mountjoy Mugger · 15-03-2011 10:44pm

What type of BA is this? It's a fukking joke, mods!

It's bad enough when the finer points of massage are allowed in threads, but a bloke touting a non existent link of a bargain is a bloody farce.

weeeeeeeelllll, if people get this, then its a very worthy thread. even if its only a few people. thats what a bargain is, something that expires after its out of stock or whatever.

Mountjoy Mugger · 15-03-2011 10:57pm

Post reported. We'll see.

It's sad, isn't it? Was it a good bargain though? - just a copy and paste, allegedly. No link, nada.

Tea_Bag · 15-03-2011 11:59pm

anybody got an PM or update from the OP? this deal expires today and ive havent recieved any word back. im really want this.

ShaunC · 16-03-2011 3:40am

Sorry folks, what happened was I tried to buy 5 laptops, waited hours for conformation, nothing happened, contacted support and they said there was a problem with my cc, so I tried to cancel order, they said I would have to contact sales on Wednesday. I went back to the site and tried to order one but was told the code was already used. Can't wait to talk to them tomorrow:mad: I will let ye know how I get on. if I get them

if not:(
Sorry about the fubar I'm pretty peed off myself

Liam O · 16-03-2011 3:45am

well I'll still gladly take one if you have any luck

Very good bargain, guy did his best to share it, most would just take the deal for family and friends.. reporting him? low dude, low

kneejerk · 16-03-2011 11:33am

Dont worry about it ShaunC.

Hope you at least manage to get one for yourself
