You must work for a qualified reseller to have access to the deal.

Hmm.. perhaps one can arrange a negotiation with a retailer and try to get these prices

No Retailers [that I know of] specifically don't match membership clubs for this very reason lol

[Delicieuxz]

Man, wish I could somehow get one of these deals without having a job in tech retail. Intel should open the deal up to the public for like 1 day, IMHO.

Kind of defeats the purpose of getting people to learn about them first

Heck, I'd do all their online info courses about them, if it enabled me access to this deal. I did a bunch of stuff like that through Microsoft's Expert Zone many years ago.

 

C'mon, Intel, let get me all informed about the details of your products, and also one of these deals, in the process!

I just got the 6700k back through the Summer Deal, now contemplating as to whether to snag the 6850k for 179 or not...

[0ld_Chicken]

ugh, I hate this.  I always get the same feeling of "so close, yet, so far"

[aberdie]

Would love to grab one or the either at those prices. Ugh. . .

Suffer through a year of retail

[Suika]

Don't really need either of them considering I bought my 5930k for $199 awhile ago, lol. Going to see if one of my friends wants one, though, since I have the masters pricing. Thanks for the heads up, I was figuring the sale would start soon.

Unfortunately, I have suffered far longer than that.  I don't think it qualifies though, since its not electronics.

Check the list just in case. At one point, if Walmart qualifies and Sears used to, you may be surprised.

Or suffer through the extremely worthless Canadian Dollar and high prices of tech products up here.

I did both - 5 years of retail and dealing with our Canadian Dollar. In 2014 I bought an i7-4790K for $158 CAD after taxes, import, and shipping.

DEAL IS LIVE! GO GO GO!

 

[Suika]

Just bought myself another one. Figured I'd give one of my processors to a friend.

[Scruffy90]

The only thing I miss about working retail, dirt cheap consumer products for spending some time watching a power point presentation . 

[Katsunaka]

That pricing is amazing. Just for working retail. 

 

Wal-Mart works for the program. I just looked at what works, i may talk to my buddy in GA and see if he can use his walmart info and get into that for me. 

 

Pickup that 6850k and update my 5930k machine some.

[Quix]

What is a rough estimate on the shipping time for the chips?

[aberdie]

My store does not qualify

Depends when you order and where you live. Says "up to 6 weeks" though.

Selling them is technically against the terms of the program.

Just out of curiosity: if someone were to pick up a 6700k this year, and sell it two years down the road to buy an 8700k (or whatever it's going to be called) through the Retail Edge program, would Intel terminate said person's account? Every time a Retail Edge sale comes around, it makes me wonder if there are people with dozens of previously-high-end processors laying around or something.

If Intel manages to find out that you sold a processor previously purchased through the program (presumably by matching an identifier on the chip or box), they terminate your account. I'll "give" my processors to friends, but I haven't dared to sell the chips on eBay or the like.

[shortsyoungster]

After entering the program, how much training is required to get these deals? I probably will go for the higher priced option unless the training is fairly quick.
