  • My crystal ball

    Hello, hello, is this thing on??  Damn I really hate my crystal ball it never seems to work for me!  Normally when I make a prediction and make it public it is wrong.  Oh well, I’ll give it a try anyways.

    Keep an eye on NewEgg!  I just happen to get Acronis True Image in my head a little while ago and though I would check the pricing at NewEgg.  I had recommended it a few weeks ago to a customer and it was roughly $23.99.  I don’t have any in stock at Burrows Solutions and really can’t beat that price so I am a good guy and will just recommend that people order it straight from NewEgg.  Today that same option is $38.99, however a MIR just started for the item today.  That $20 MIR is good starting today through the 11th.  I don’t like how they increase the price just because they start a MIR but understand why they do it.  Now the thing that interests me though is past promotional patterns.  I’m pretty sure that any other time Acronis has had a MIR that NewEgg usually ends up putting out a promo code in one of their promotion emails.  With that you can usually end up paying only $5 to $10 after the MIR for some great software.

    So like I mentioned above, keep an eye on NewEgg for the next week.  If you are in the need of the latest version of Acronis True Image I suggest you wait until the last minute (order on the 10th).  I only suggest this because I really feel there may be a better deal coming?  If I’m wrong then you should still purchase it because $18 after MIR is pretty good, just wait several days though.  I will keep an eye on my inbox and hope to see an Acronis promo code soon.  I’d really like to upgrade to the newest version!!
