Hi Everyone,
I'm new to the site but not to mac I've had them for years. I am buying two 20" imacs very soon and I'd like to know if there are deals out there for multiple purchases or if I can get more free perpherals. I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks

Macmall usually has something running to get a free mouse or a copy of parallels on top of the mail in rebate. Best Buy had something pop up this summer to get a free subscription to .mac and a copy of iWork, but I haven't seen anything similar from them for a while.

Even if you buy 100 iMacs, you pay full price on each. Apple doesn't give bulk discounts.
That's not true; they do give bulk discounts to large contracts. Also, please note that the OP didn't say that he needs to buy it straight from first party.

I know Apple isn't going to do anything for you.
 
Yeah unless you are a reseller, you won't get a discount for multiple purchases.

You won't get a discount from Apple for buying 2 comps at once..
 
You won't get anything from Apple or any big-brand stores (i.e. Best Buy). You can however, call third-party Mac resellers (i.e. MacMall) and see what they can do for you ;)

Don't worry about the other responses, you can get a discount if you're willing to do the leg work. It might take visiting a few apple stores and other discounters however eventually you will get a discount...its a buyers market at the moment.

Apple stores give discounts under a variety of conditions (for example IBM employees got a 7% discount on most items).

Also consider online retailers, the list price is often cheaper and you also avoid sales tax.
