Price of 2001fp
 

I am going to be buying a 2001fp in the near future, and right now it is $560 at Dell and I have a $75 coupon so with taxes and stuff it should come to a little over $500 total. I know that they were going for $450 about a month ago, so I am wondering how often they drop the prices that low? I want to buy one now but if they are going to be selling for less than $450 in a month or so I will wait. Is there anyway to know if they will be lowering the price in the near future, thanks.

check ebay, and buy from a professional seller with 99.9% positive feedback. 420 seems to be the going rate, the monitors are still in their dell packaging with warranties, and shipping is like 70.

So $490 from someone random or "little over $500" from dell

HMMMMMMMMM, let me think about that one.

I hear there are some coupons for $1 vons brand cereal in the sunday paper, if you're intersted..

I've gone the someone random route twice on ebay, both were fantastic sellers. If you camp on ebay long enough, you're bound to get it for $475 shipped, which is way better than any price I've seen on dell.com (I think I've seen it for around $530, with the coupon).

Weigh your options.

I paid $460 for mine on Dell.com and I know there have been better deals there since. I'll be ordering my 2nd one the next time they are around $450 or lower on Dell.com. I'm in no rush, so I don't need to go the eBay route, although I am sure there isn't much to worry about if you find a respectable seller.

I never seemed to have good timing with these. Nice deals though.

Is there any educated guess as to when they will go on sale again. End of the quarter(is that December?) etc? Thanks

Re: Price of 2001fp
 

There hasn't been a sale in nearly a month, so its likely that one is on the way relatively soon.

Re: Price of 2001fp
 

what is the best way to find the deals? Will it just appear at dell.com or do I have to look on sites such as slickdeals.net and gottadeal.com? The price at dell.com is $561 which is 40% off the list price ( i think) but obviosly it gets well below that. thanks again

This forum is a good place to check, as well as fatwallet.com and the other deal sites for coupon codes. Whenever deals on the good dell monitors pop up they are generally very well advertised.
