How do you get Dell to give you a freebie when you purchase a laptop?

Hello,

I'm going to buy a laptop from [rfdlink=55]Dell[/rfdlink] today. I'm getting the [rfdlink=55]Dell[/rfdlink] Inspiron 1525 (http://configure.dell.com/dellstore/con ... =NI15_F_1E) for $769 (I added Bluetooth + the Wireless N card) + tax.

It's my family's fourth time buying a [rfdlink=55]Dell[/rfdlink], but it's my first time buying from them (I'm paying for this on my own.)

Is it possible to ask them to throw something in for free? :confused: How do you get the salesperson to give you something for free?

Thanks for your help.

I doubt they will give you anything for free but maybe accessories for a reduced cost. You could also try surfing the web to find coupons that you can use at checkout.

Doubt it, laptop = very little margin, most accessories = higher margin. They make more money on the accessories than they do on the laptop.

If you were buying multiple laptops, maybe. Buying one laptop for less then a grand. Doubt it.

I think companies should offer "freebies" as an incentive.
companies shouldnt need to offer u freebies for buying sth from them,

although they could offer u discounts since u've bought several computers from them before, which is why u should brg this up to them

I call the India call centre directly, and haggle with them a bit. I've never gone away without at least 10% knocked off, or a USB key, or KB/Mouse combo tossed in.
