And there are a slew of 10% stackable + 15% SB coupons going pretty cheap on Ebay.

Just a heads up if you want to move quickly on it - works out to about $6200.

BTW, this worked for me a couple weeks ago on the MkIII. Dell said then 3-5 weeks, as with the DsIII now, but it shipped just a bit more than a week after I ordered it.

The 1Ds is gone already, but the 1DIII is there.

Are you trying the Small Business store? The Ds shows up for me there, the D out of stock

What's Dell's return policy on open boxes?
I just ordered one but started to get a sinking feeling after reading that some people are experiencing AF issues with the 1Ds.
If I get a lemon, I don't want to go through Canon trying to fix it but would rather send it back for a refund or exchange.

How does the stackable 10% work? The list price is $7999 with 15% off it is $6799. So do you get another 10% off that price? That is a steal of a deal! Do you have to be a Small Business with some kind of registration with them?

To optimize your discounts with Dell, first go to fatwallet.com and create an account, then click on Dell Small Business 1.5% cash back. This takes you to Dell SB. Find your items and put them in your cart. Add any coupon codes you have (or purchased cheap from ebay). Note: adding a coupon code will remove the existing 10 or 15% sale discount, but if you have legit stackables, you put in a 15% code, then add a stackable 10% (about $10-40 on ebay). So, $7999 becomes $6799.15, then adding the stackable becomes $6119.24. Then, sales tax gets added, for me, that would bring it to $6516.99. Now, if you first checkout to pay by credit card, you'll get a pop up box saying to put it on a Dell preferred account and receive an additional 2% discount (sometimes you'll get no payment interest free financing for 6-24 months as well). Do this, now the net price is $6386.65 (assuming they give the 2% off the sales taxed total, not sure on that though). Ok, so $6386.65, then in 120 days, you can claim your Fat Wallet rebate check of $95.80, bringing you to $6290.85. Not bad at all. And it's REALLY good if you are in one of the 10 or so states that are not Sales taxed on Dell purchases.

I don't think so. You have to say that the product won't be exported, so that will be a deal killer....

Might just be my browser, but neither 1 series shows up with any discount.... perhaps Dell has changed it or the deal is over just at the 1 series level.....

Did you acquire coupon codes and enter them in the cart to apply them? You can do this without going to the final purchase step.

Don't forget, with DELL you will probably pay tax on your purchase..
