nice nice! the best deal was working there. our employee discount was "cost+5%". low margin items like PCs, laptops and mobos/cpus didn't do much. but high margin items like cables, recordable media any of the "general merch" was incredible. high-end HDMI cables that retail for $20 would get discounted to a dollar or two.
if it wasn't for a house fire I'd still have my PC I built there. when the 4770k was the flagship CPU.
oh and Intel would sell us i7 CPUs for like $100 when we did their training course
That's pretty sweet, but not the fire, that sucks.
yeah it was a decent computer... and house

How do they keep you from just selling that shit on Amzon?
they didn't. they told us it was 100% ours to flip if we desired. the reps told us this.
oops I thought you meant Intel.
they tracked your employee purchases basically. if they saw you buying a shit ton of stuff you would get questioned. but it was hard to prove.
we would also snipe odd shit. like xxx refurbished flagship graphic card from 3 years ago comes in for $400 look it up in the system and employee price is $50. it happens lol
