Dell representive mentioned that Singapore is a small country and therefore Dell find it suitable to launch it here. BTW, Launch Date is 5th May 2009.<\/p>\n<p>Dell Swarm is just like Group Buy. When more people buy, the product gets cheaper. However, most group buys are in forums while Dell Swarm is a very interactive and social network ready.<\/p>\n<h3>How it Works?<\/h3>\n<p>It has a few criteria. It has a countdown timing of 72hrs and limited to 15 buyers. After that (whichever comes first), Dell Swarm will close the group buy.<\/p>\n<p>The pricing will become cheaper as more people buy. For the first buyer (because he\/she is the first), he\/she will get the biggest discount. Subsequently, when other buyers join in, the price will get even lower (although not as big a jump as the first person). What is comforting is that with the last buyer and the last price, all the people will get to enjoy the lower price (e.g. a SG$1000 product will get SG$X discount for X number of person. All will only paid the SG$X).<\/p>\n<p>Put in simply, more people more discount and all will enjoy it.<\/p>\n<p>From Dell, delivery is free in Singapore.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"2447\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/techielobang.com\/blog\/2009\/04\/25\/dell-swarm-72hrs-15-buyers-sneak-preview-video-within\/dell_swarm_03\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/dell_swarm_03.jpg?fit=460%2C345&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"460,345\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.7&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;COOLPIX P5100&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1240622591&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;7.5&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;64&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.25&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"dell_swarm_03\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/dell_swarm_03.jpg?fit=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/dell_swarm_03.jpg?fit=460%2C345&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2447 aligncenter\" title=\"dell_swarm_03\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/dell_swarm_03.jpg?resize=460%2C345\" alt=\"dell_swarm_03\" width=\"460\" height=\"345\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/dell_swarm_03.jpg?w=460&amp;ssl=1 460w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/dell_swarm_03.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 460px) 100vw, 460px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>What are the things to take note?<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>You cannot customise the product (e.g. laptop or netbook or etc)<\/li>\n<li>Dell will need a credit card for transaction<\/li>\n<li>It is ONLY AVAILABLE IN SINGAPORE, at this moment.<\/li>\n<li>Normal Product price can be found at Dell website.<\/li>\n<li>Each person can buy up to 3 units.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There will be more information as the date draws nearer.
