That is what I have done in all of my previous purchases.  Much like cars, high end electronics MSRP is never what you end up paying but the salesperson I spoke to on the phone said there was no room for adjustment.  I'm pretty sure it's just that one person being unable to make a pricing decision themselves and unwilling to escalate me to someone who could.  I put in a ticket on the Dell Facebook account to see if they can help me out, otherwise I think this is the end to my relationship with Dell.

Thanks for the reply.

Ndafoe,

Dell doesn't price match but you can dicker with them  on the phone when ordering and  see how you do?
