Hehe, remember the link to the "Five Cent Refurbished Screw" at Dell.com we posted a while back? Well, if you do, check out his reader email. Thanks for keeping us entertained TunoBoo!
Dell just called me at work. I had ordered 10 power cables for an Australian laptop for 1 cent each (Found link on Anandtech hot deals forum), and a refurbished computer screw for 5 cents (HardOCP had that link). They were all out of the 1 penny laptop cables, so no deal there. BUT I got a refurbished screw for 5 cents with free shipping. The CSR was like "Are you sure you want 1 screw?" I was like "Yah".
So he said "just a normal computer screw for 5 cents?" I said "No it is a REFURBISHED screw, and it has free overnight shipping." He said "Sorry I cant do overnight shipping free, but I can do ground shipping free."
So I will be getting them shortly ;) The CSR Was FREAKED. hahahaha
