I do :D

I am looking at item number #E1353

Dell 1.7GHz Intel P4 256MB,80GB,17" Flat Panel DVD,CDRW and Printer

Retail Value $3278.00
QVC Price $2919.00
Today's Special Value $2532.00
Shipping and Handling $62.47
Easy Pay 4 Installments of $633.00, plus Tax and Shipping/Handling


Can any other compaines beat this price???

that seems a little expensive...
maybe u can try building one yourslef and u would probably save money i mean,
a p4 1.7 ghz with a mobo should be around $250
that monitor is probably 500-600
and the 80 gig is probably 120
the burner is probably 100
probably 100 for a printer
50-75 for ram
dvd for about 80
and add some money for vid card and stuff and the total should be about 1400-1550

or am i missing something?

Right now, I'm building the equivilant of a $2400 system right now... and for only $1200 -- savings $1200....

Buy everything as "retail" and you still get your 3 year warranty on most of the stuff -- it not its 2 years -- sometimes you can get a lifetime warranty of stuff (like from Pny).

I'd rather build it myself than to waste my money on another company doing it for me...

Either way, if you have a business, you can still write it off as a business expense. ;)

Today's Special Value $2532.00Can't tell what other options you might get, or which dvd drive, what kind of printer, etc... but I just went to the Dell site and configured a system with everything you have listed, for $2303 -- without really trying to cut corners. So it doesn't seem like such a spectacular deal.

QVC is the absolute worst place to buy a computer. They don't have a clue about what they're selling. Who can trust a company who sells a computer that includes an "Intel 3d hard drive" and a "Soundblast" sound card? :confused:

You can find some awesome deals by configuring your system at dell.com. Don't buy computers from tv.

The worst thing about this is that they say the system has a "retail value" of 3278.00. Wonder where they came up with that, when any bozo can buy it directly, at "retail," for less than they are selling it for at a "discount."

I've never purchased anything from any of those shopping channels, or even really watched them, and this fraudulent statement makes it pretty certain that I never will. At least with a PC I know enough to see at a glance that even their "special value price" is too high, but I might not know that on other products. 9onlinehost's jewelry, for example.

So they go on the air and say "this is an incredible price, this $3300 system for ONLY $2500!" And people assume, well... they couldn't say that if it wasn't true, right?
