I've found that with OEMXS the length of time that they have had the product seems to impact their willingness to negotiate. If they have 940 available (that ought to be a crime!!!!!), give it a little time, and assuming they don't move quickly, they'll be a lot more likely to take less.
Honestly, I've found them to be very reasonable on all but one offer I have ever made-- and on that item, they were WAY overpriced. I received a blank decline (no message, no counter), and they still have it posted several months later at an outlandish price... But I get a little chuckle every time I see it on their page.
With 940 to sell, I'd say they'll take a little while to move, and then the deals will get a bit better. If I were them, on a supply like that, I'd try and hold out a while at the higher price too... To gauge demand, if nothing else.
I sure wish I knew how to buy whole pallets of things like this from companies like Intel!
Speaking of related items- anyone know their lowest price on the 12gb/s expanders? (RES3CV360) currently marked at $400.
