Just got a deal for 2GB OCZ Gold on eBay for $151 delivered, but looking for a deal on an X2. Anybody can suggest where a terrific buy for a 4400+ can be gotten?

1) Best Buy.com advertises games for preorder and yet does not ship them on time. I had this happen on 4 games, 2 not popular.

2) Best Buy.com does NOT offer exchanges. This is a serious problem. If an item is on sale, and breaks within a few days, but the sale is over, prepared to be engaged in a major hassle with an Indian call center. Usually a Best Buy brick and mortar store manager will help, but Best Buy.com is impossible to communicate with.

3) BBest Buy.com uses an off-shore call center. These employees are difficult to communicate with and do not help or clearly and thoroughly communicate the information that you give them.

I have had excellent experiences at Best Buy store, but I do not recomment Best Buy.com to anyone, even if there are good prices. You are risking many hours of hassle if something out of the ordinary happens.

I just got off the phone with Dell. I had an order to place and I was going to do it online, but thought, I better call just to make sure it goes through right. After getting all the items in the guys says, "If you add a dell laser, it will be $700 cheaper". I was thinking that he meant, if you order a dell laser, I'll give you $700 off the laser, but no, he actually meant that without the laser the order was 11,500 and with the laser it was 10,800. Couldn't pass that offer up! Got a Dell 5100 CN Color Laser for -700. Now I'll look great to my boss for being a tough negotiator since I already got the full price approved.

Funny thing is that we just ordered a 5100 a few months ago for $1200 (with the extra paper drawer, some toner, ect) so this one will sit next to the other one for spare parts basically.
