STOP!!!!! I just got the 30GB iPod at Dell for $404.10 including FREE shipping. Here's how you too can do it. Call Dell Sales Rep Eddie Elam at 800.879.3355 x 62573. If you don't call Eddie, you may not be able to get this deal. A MacInTouch reader report from a man named James Faughnan was put up on Macintouch.com last Saturday that he got the 30 for $405 from Dell (actually it's $404.10 including FREE shipping). Unfortunately, he didn't include any information as to how he did it. I Googled his name and found an email address on a website that was in his name. I emailed him pleading for details on how he did it Sunday. He didn't reply until Wednesday night and said the deal was over and that he had gotten a tip from a DealMac reader last week. So I investigated that site and found the code on DealCoupon.com. But by last night the Dell website wouldn't complete the deal even though I had both the product description page and My Cart page showing the deal with the coupon code (thanks to Safari's Tabs and OS X's stability). 30GB iPod GONE. No longer a Dell part number. That was late last night. Dell's phone order system closed until this morning. This morning I spent 2.5 hours on the phone all over Dell Small Business Sales from Tennessee to Bombay India. I finally wound up with Eddie in Waco TX Home Sales who had the brilliant idea of looking up James Faughnan's order and was able to transfer his quote to my new order for the same deal price. I doubt you will find anyone else at Dell to do this for you. But I believe Eddie will. Call him and tell him I sent you. My order number is 359323343 and my name is Taylor Barcroft (not Kunga). He should be able to move my quote from James' quote on to other orders. If he can't do it nobody can. Believe me. I was about to give up when he saved me at the last minute. k On Thursday, May 22, 2003, at 12:41 PM, Steve Martin wrote: > Watch www.dealmac.com.
