Dell price increase

[lilelvis2000]

Is it me or has Dell increased their prices substantially. A system I bought six months ago for £345 now costs over £400. Is this the result of the falling pound?

I'm now looking for another supplier.

Well, you would expect just about that amount of increase in GBP terms. Shame for people who are now also paying higher VAT on that, there's no reason for VAT amount to go up, it's not priced in $ or €.

Yeah I read somewhere that all Computer equipment will be going up in price due to the falling pound - get it while you can!

Actually maybe this will be a better way of sving money than putting it into a savings account, buy a PC sell it in 6 months for £100 more!

RIght, who's got a van I can borrow to go to PC world?

New car prices are also going up for the same reason.

Almost everything we buy is imported. Cars, computers, clothing, food, fuel.

The pound is becoming worthless and so goods are going to get more expensive. At the same time wages and contract rates are falling.

That = investing in the rising Euro or Dollar. Why not just open an account in one of these and keep cash there?

A weakening pound causing inflation! Who would have guessed that?
