    i found a $200 off inspirons coupon on ebay that the seller lists a stackable.. does this mean i could stack it with a 300 pff coupon to bring a 1500 laptop down to 1000? that would be an amazing deal.

    Used to be stackable, but Dell stopped it just recently.

    Coupon codes on eBay? Is that even legal? Sounds pretty ridiculous anyways, since BOTH coupons must be "stackable" for both to go through, and DELL is tightening up the coupons like all heck.

    I would not try any stackable coupons :)

    1. Most if not all of them are no longer stackable
    2. Coupons usually take away the instant savings, which will actually reduce the value of that coupon
    3. I don't have anything else but I thought it would look nice if I had a third thing listed :)

    If dell still has the free 2gig ram and 160gb hd upgrade, then it is a good deal with the $300 coupon.
