I read an interview with someone at Dell, maybe Micheal, I don't remember, who was explaining the great advantages of selling through the internet. One of them was that you can put up a new promotion and know within minutes what its affect on sales will be (at least in the consumer space where long evaluation cycles and price negotiation are not a factor). Maybe Dell is experimenting with different prices on the same system at different times of day or via different routes of access to determine the effect on demand and maximize the revenue/net margin tradeoff.
