When I changed the country to Japan, the sticker price jumped from 2000 USD to 15,000 USD eq. for a very basic system. I am just at a loss as to what can explain this disparity. Guess I will have to call up my vendor to get a comparable quote.

My tip is always to try to get in contact with a couple of reseller and play them out against each other in the price department.

If you are looking for larger purchases 50k+ USD than you should talk directly with Dell, HP or comparable vendor and put them into the play off for who you choose :)

I always do that. I have worked with Strategic Sourcing for a while...so... ;-)
