basically meaning they wouldnt have as many sales
Yes, I believe so. Not sure if they'll be as good as they were though. We'll have to wait and seeAsian Dub Foundation said:i mean, they can still do some discounts on their HIGH END products right?
Finger said:But none of this stuff is really a direct reason why they wouldn't run end-of-quarter sales.
Maybe it is a reason. Nobody here has any idea how their quarter is shaping up. Their fiscal year ends after the next quarter at the end of January so if they need to boost sales for the entire fiscal year there might be better deals then. IF they need to do that.mikeblas said:Huh? Why isn't my theory about good enough profits a direct reason why they're not running end-of-quarter sales? If they've already made their income numbers and don't have excess inventory or production capacity, why would they cut prices?
Someone who used to work for Dell posted in that thread as said this wasn't the case. He said that Dell was just getting out of the really cheap $200 POS computer business so that they wouldn't have to support cheaply made budget computers. And that it didn't mean the deals were going to disapear.Worminater said:if i recall a month or two back dell made a press release stating they woudl no longer be a "budget" computer retailer or some such, as in going for high end crowd or something.

Ya, they had announced it more or less a few weeks ago. Heck people even posted that same news here in the deal forum.BladeVenom said:When Dell didn't meet last quarters profit expectations they said they were going to cut back on the deals.
cold solder said:It looks like Dell's stock hit a new 52-week low last week. Should be interesting.
On the contrary, it probably had something to do with it. Discounts eat up profit.BladeVenom said:So I guess cutting back on good deals wasn't such a great idea.
