I know. I never should have looked on the Dell website today; but I knew Green Monday was in effect. Guess what? I could have gotten a computer similar to the one I purchased for almost $200 less.
I know. Don't cry over spilled milk. There's nothing you can do about it. I just thought I'd pass this along as it didn't make my day! I KNEW I shouldn't have made a quick decision!
Have a good one. Anything exciting going on during this rainy Monday?

Rule #1: don’t look AFTER you’ve bought. You’ll always find it cheaper.

Is that what you learned after getting burned paying higher for that Rush greatest hits CD?

It seems that that is the way things go. You get an item and then a few days later or even weeks later, it's substantially cheaper and you should have waited.
I was once told that December - January is the best time to buy a computer.

Uh oh! No way to send it back? Local exchange? Stuff like that makes me mad. You could call and tell them it is on sale at xyx and $200 cheaper. Ask for a price match and/or refund or you could tell them you will be returning it. You may get the better price! You don't know until you try it!
I'm just sitting here entertaining myself on the computer. Fixing to go start dinner. The hubby is home early from the range today with rain moving in.

@LindaOHio I know what you mean. My hubby would say the same thing. Well at least you got exactly what you wanted on the new computer!! Has it come in yet?

They're sneaky that way. The computer that's on sale is comparable, not exact. It was put together with my specifications; so I don't think I can cancel it. My husband says don't worry about it...so I guess I won't...Still bothers me though! :-)

@kareng It's supposed to come before December 26. Could be any time. I'm waiting for an e-mail saying it shipped.

If you just bought you could try to cancel your order or send it right back and get the cheaper one.

They are "constructing" it to my specifications. I don't think I can cancel it.

Yup. I knew I shouldn't look. Green Monday is like Cyber Monday. It just gives merchants another excuse to sell, sell, sell!

@LindaOHio Ah. There's always that. Do they ever stop selling? I guess they have to keep the workers working and keep the shareholders happy and of course leave the lights on.

I never look after buying something for prices again, because I know how it can make me disappointed, discounts just happen...
