Why is it cheaper to buy a NEW DELL notebook on EBAY than at Dell.com?

Question

I don't understand how folks on EBAY can offer NEW IN BOX, not refurb, not scratch and dent notebook computers cheaper than you can get them at Dell.com. Is there a scam or trick here?

Answer 1

If they are on E-Bay, like any other 'new' product on E-Bay, they are refurbished or end-of-line. It is not a scam - just someone or company such as a clearing house who got the product at a reduced price. After all, they have to make a profit!

Answer 2

Dell sells their products more than Ebay for two reasons.
1. Dell can do whatever the want with their products only because it is their product they are selling.
2. Ebay is a place where you can buy anything basically. People mostly want to sell their products cheaper than the products online sight because the consumer wants to get rid of the product, so they sell it for less knowing that people will say "Well I looked at Dell.com and they have the price for $2,000. I can go on Ebay and get it for cheaper." So basically, people are technically in competition against each other for people who will buy it, so down the price it goes.

Answer 3

No, no trick. Dell.com sells them for the SUGGESTED MANUFACTURE'S PRICE. So on Ebay, some good deals, but they work with a lesser profit margin. Also, on Sunday paper ads, sometimes you have good deals, especially when they have rebates on them as some on Ebay are not there or do not tell you about them.

Answer 4
