What is the biggest discount that you have gotten from Dell when buying something? I bought my I9200 in Feb 2005 on a day when they offered $1000 off.....I then coupled that with salary sacrifice and managed to get it for roughly half price!!

I once got two servers for less than the cost of one - they had a number of promotions that hit at the same time, and I managed to get two PowerEdge 2650s for about $2500 - the retail cost of them was just over $6000.

My regular sales rep wouldn't sell them to me at that cost (and he usually matches any web prices we see), so we had to use a company credit card & just buy them from the web. He told me that the cost I got was below Dell's cost to make & sell the units.

A I9300 with a price tag of 2051, and only paying 1201. That's a 42% discount. However, take into account that DELL always hikes the retail price and always offers certain mnimum discounts.

My laptop was almost exactly half off. The original configuration was just under $1600 and I got it for $825. Not too bad, especially considering what I got.
