Buying a New System - Jeanne Hedge - 11-12-2007
Anyone know if any of the major online retailers are having Black Friday sales?
I really need to get a new computer at a reasonable price, avoid going shopping on Black Friday and the weekend after like the plague, don't have a trustworthy mom&pop shop to build me one nearby (and I don't know how, and don't want to (now, anyway), build my own)

Those seem to be only going-to-store sales. I'm wondering if anyone's heard about any on-line sales.

Dell usually has a sale-of-the-week going on. I think they change on Thurdays or Fridays. If you pick and choose, you can sometimes get quite a substantial upgrade free.
Best Buy, if you sign up for their newsletters, will send advance notice for big online sales.

Edealinfo.com usually has ongoing "sales," especially for Dell. They work by finding odd or unnoticed combinations of coupons and rebates that make for maximally reduced prices. Prices vary, of course, but camping out their website for a while can produce some downright shocking bargains sometimes. I recall seeing quite a few cellphone sales where (with a 2year contract, of course) the mail-in rebates added up to the point where you were essentially being *paid* $100-200$ to take the darn phone off their hands!
