I plan to by a new computer from Gateway 2000 in the next week.  The new
computer will either be a 166MHz with EDO RAM or a 200MHz with SDRAM.  I
would like to know if I can haggle with the Gateway sales people.  I
believe they would probably drop their price below what is published in
ads.  Could you tell me how much of a drop I should ask for?  Does a
Gateway 2000 sales rep work on commission?
 
Thanks,

Deborah Urciolo
