Thinkpad 755CX price drops and IBM PC Direct

["Lew Jansen" <lrj@hepth.cornell.edu>]

  I just wanted to let people know that anyone who bought a 755CX from IBM PC
Direct in the last 30 days ought to take advantage of their undocumented (so
far as I know) 30-day price guarantee.

  If you RECEIVED your machine within the last 30 days and it is now cheaper,
call your sales rep for information as to how you can claim a refund for the
price difference.  It involved faxing them a letter stating your invoice
number, prices, etc. which they then submit to their credit department.

  Considering that the SVGA 755CX 8/540 dropped from $5799 to $4849, it's well
worth the time to pursue this refund.  

  Something similar probably also applies to any vendor offering a 30-day
return policy -- it's worth a call.
