Dell XPS system misprice bargains!

Dell XPS system misprice bargains! £687.00

Freebie_Fetishfound 6 years, 10 months ago

There seems to be something funny going on with the Dell XPS pricing right now. Select an XPS system and then choose a different video card and the price will drop different amounts depending on which card you choose. An example is search by evalue 305 D08XP5 and then drop support service and choose the 256mb geforce and the price goes down to £687.

Thanks to wizmark ;)

This happened a couple of years ago, to the extent that if you kept upgrading it would go down further in price! ie: a laptop actually ended up being £28.
I tried to purchase one along with a few friends, but when they had realised their mistake, they did not honour any of the deals.
Not surprising really!

Try using the other XPs's code numbers as they still seem to have the error. 305-D08xp1 is worth a try ;)

Select an XPS system and then choose a different video card and the price will drop different amounts depending on which card you choose.

Err, yes, the Dell systems do that, this isn't anything amazing as the card selected is already a £400 add-on, if you select a different card the total price reflects the price drop. It's not a mis-price.

Yes but generally the Dell add-on price is much higher than normal retail so if it discounts by the price it "costs" on the Dell site it is a good deal.
MikeT[mod]6 years, 10 months ago #5 Show comment toolsReply
Normal pricing with the base video card is around £1100 when the lowest warranty option is selected so it is reducing the price well below that.

Hi
Did anyone get a message when doing the configuration that they are having technical difficulties with the price?

I see, well £700 seems about the right price to pay for a base unit with those features from what I could see of them

Dell has stated there is a Lead Time on the XPS 700 systems at the top of the page, so that might give them the time they need to cancel any orders that are mis-prices.

Dell
[COLOR=Red]Please be advised that there is currently an extended lead-time on the Dimension XPS 700 and there will be a delay in the delivery of this system.

Good find but

Im not quite sure if this is a misprice. I think it gives you an incorrect (higher) price initially which makes it go up.

[SIZE=2]Try doing this: when you have chosen the evalue code and can see the item, don't change anything, just press update price and the price lowers, eventhough you haven't made any changes....[/SIZE]

Fantastic Spot! I've just ordered one and everyone I work with are interested. Just to check, the worst thing that can happen is they could cancel the order, is that correct? I don't want to receive a bill for the extr £400+ :-D
gd_miester6 years, 10 months ago #11 Show comment toolsReply
Is this really a mis-price or is it the normal price? If it is a mis price what is the normal price?

it seems to also have a core 2 duo processor (for windows vista) which i think only came out last week.
chesham6 years, 10 months ago #12 Show comment toolsReply
Unfortuantely not a mis price - the D08XP5 automatically selects the 512MB 7900GTX graphic card, which is £246.75 more a month, and down grading the supoprt gives you £176.25 less to pay, bringing the price down to £688.00...good price though!!
emu6 years, 10 months ago #13 Show comment toolsReply
was tempted by this but then sat down and worked out u could probably build yourself for a bit less
xlr8r_y2k6 years, 10 months ago #14 Show comment toolsReply
this is a mispirce (mis-configuration of graphics card options) on this system, the XPS range is Dell's Flagship High Spec machines and sell for a premium price and has a lot of bells and whistles that you don't get on their normal system, i.e. 750w power supply, a standard BTX motherboard layout meaning that you can actually replace the motherboard not like in the normal Dell which have the own non-standard fixing points etc

The cheapest configuration you could get on this machine prior to the misprice was £1098 - i use this website for checking the latest Dell deals and they always have the lowest prices listed, you can check what the old price was here http://www.dmxdimension.com/blogcategory/dell_uk_xps_700.html

For those of you who thought this may have not been a misprice, here is last weeks spec for the xp5

D08XP5 (Home) - £1,098.75 delivered
Intel® Core™ 2 Duo E6300 processor (1.86GHz, 1066MHz, 2MB cache)
Genuine Windows® XP Home Edition, SP2 (incl Operating System Re-Installation CD)
1024MB Dual Channel DDR2 533MHz [2x512] Memory
320GB Serial ATA RAID 0 Stripe [2x160GB 7200rpm drives with DataBurst™ cache]
16x max. DVD+/-RW Drive
256MB nVidia™ GeForce™ 7900GS graphics card
