Dell Computer on QVC
Today's "TSV" on QVC is the following Dell laptop;

Can anyone see any justification for this seemingly ridiculously high price? Seems a fairly poor spec to me!

Re: Dell Computer on QVC
Just seen 'em hawking it on the TV - laughable!
Similar laptop on Dell Outlet http://outlet.dell.com/Emea_Dfo/EuDi...!1078681519945
About £500 cheaper!

Re: Dell Computer on QVC
Today's Special Value £1412.9 4
UK Postage & Packaging £58.00
At least the postage is a bargain.

Re: Dell Computer on QVC
BTW, any one going to buy a Dell, go through http://www.couponmountain.co.uk/ you'll get some discount, £50 at the mo but can be up to £100, they're Dell affiliates, so you just need to connect to the Dell site through them and the discount is taken off automatically.

Re: Dell Computer on QVC
£58 for postage and packing?
I didn't know that boxes, styrofoam, polythene, sticky labels and cable ties were so expensive

As is more often than not the case with QVC - personally, half the fun for me comes with un-packaging / unwrapping and installing AV / computer equipment...

Re: Dell Computer on QVC
What a price...amazing
try www.eaf.co.uk for all Dell's end of line machines. Dell call anything not sold in 2 mths 'end of line' so there are some fantastic machines.

It would cost you £95 for this if you ordered direct from Dell.
