Samsung UN55ES6003 55-Inch 1080P Slim HDTV $899.99 + Free Shipping (Ebay Daily Deal)

Nice TV but I paid $800 for this over Black Friday -- Dell deal (after 7% tax) so luke warm at best.

I believe that deal was $1100 w/ $300 Dell GC

Black Friday is over.

12/14 Purchase

1174.85 with tax
-180.00 Dell gift card promo -- 2 $500 gift cards (merged) + $180 promo instant used towards TV
-245.00 ($300 egift card sold on Ebay)
---------
$749.85 price paid on Dell promotion (after selling $300 egift card)

I like the TV but wouldn't pay $900 for it with TVs being a big sale item this week before the Superbowl there is better to be had.

What time is better than BLack Friday to get a deal on a TV? The week before the Superbowl. TVs have been dropping in price in case you haven't noticed BUT hey it is your money so jump on something mediocre.

My deal on this TV was mid December by the way. There were much better TV deals right after Balck Friday and with prices falling that trend will continue.

Guess I scrutinize for the Slickest deal... But glad folks give this a thumbs up for $150 more than I paid in mid December (guess I am slicker)...

Yours was also a lot more work.

Alot of leg work. I do remember that Dell $500 w/ $95 bonus because I purchased the Dell U2713HM. Aside from that, this is still a great deal without the hassel of the extra worked needed for that specified amount. Also comes with $18 eBay Bucks

10 min to sell $300 ecard on Ebay.
5 minutes to order 2 gift cards (500 each).
5-10 min to merge the 2 gift cards for $1000 and place the order via phone.

Maybe 20-30 minutes work to nab the TV for $750 with the TV delivering to my home.

Finishing up my man cave now to hang this on the wall and use the new Onkyo 809 receiver I picked up from Amazon for under $430 and the 5 Klipsch Gallery G28's for wall speakers (200 each) and 1 Klipsch Reference 12 subwoofer for 300...

Still hoping to nab another 2 Gallery 28s for 200 each to have 7.1 surround in my man cave.

Then I don't know why you brought up Black Friday in the first place.

Not sure why you're defending a long-dead deal so vigorously, but nevertheless, Dell gift cards sell for ~10% discount off face value on eBay, and eBay/Paypal take another ~10% cut. On a $300 GC, you're realistically netting about $250. After factoring all of this, plus additional shipping charges and the very realistic real chances of getting ripped of by the buyer, there's no way $300 in Dell GCs remotely equals $300 in cash.

Not defending the deal -- just defending the reality that TV prices are dropping and this is a week that you can usually snag some great deals.

If you read my math I sold the $300 gift card for $245 after all fees (Ebay/Paypal) and used the other $180 towards the purchase.

I am happy that everyone isn't a super Slickdealer -- makes my life easier.
