My crystal ball
Posted on March 3rd, 2010 2 commentsHello, 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!!

Yeah… NewEgg has been great for good pricing, but I’ve been disappointed a few times when I found something cheaper at buy.com or dell.com shortly thereafter. It’s definitely worth shopping around if you can spare a few minutes to do it.

So far it appears that my “crystal ball” is failing me. Emails from NewEgg on Thursday and Friday failed to give us promo codes for Acronis. Generally Mondays email will only give us a sneak peek at the upcoming Shell Shockers deals. Also the expiration for the deals listed on Friday all expire on the 11th, which is the last day for the MIR offer on Acronis.
So I was of course wrong. However just to be safe, I will probably wait until the 10th or 11th before I order.
