I bought an open box 13 / 128 / 2.5 at Best Buy for $1248.
Then I ordered an Apple Refub 13 / 256 / 2.5 for $1359 and didn't win the lottery.
I went back to Best Buy and negotiated an open box 13 / 256 / 2.5 to $1250 from $1330.
I didn't realize that open box AppleCare warranties begin on the day they are first purchased, so when I registered MacBook 13 / 256 / 2.5, I was surprised that coverage began in November. I called Apple and they adjusted the start date forward to January, but I planned to buy an Apple LED Cinema Display and AppleCare extended warranty. However, the MacBook's start date is beyond 30 days, so I'll now have to buy a separate AppleCare warranty for the Apple LED Cinema Display. I emailed Tim Cook to see if his staff could somehow move the start date forward since AppleCare couldn't. Part of me is considering returning the open box MacBook--again. Argh.
