You might need to give people some more detail.
Do you want new/refurb or are regular second hand deals o.k. with you?
Which MBP are you looking for?
cMBP, rMBP, 13"/15"/17"... anti-glare display, other requirements?
local ads will always usually have the best gems
everyone selling online has researched the value and not usually that great
I've found numerous random people on local ads who have no idea and just want to sell their MBP or iPad's etc.
Keep an eye on craiglists and when you find one jump quick

Best Buy Deal
Here ya go, Best Buy is blowing out all MACs as they get ready for the dreaded Haswell. So go to these two links find your BB store ID; then modify the link to reflect a Best Buy store near you. Note (strId=205) is the Store Id, its in the link near then end of the address. In this example the store id is link to the Irvin Tx Best Buy where they have a few of these deals left. Strange thing is this is hidden, if you just go to the BB web site and search you'll never find this deal. Hope it helps.

Good luck trying it this way - order cancelled in 5 min or less once their inventory checker fails.
I got the best deal ive ever come across from Best Buy during an open box sale- they were discounting an additional 10% off all open box items. Got the maxed out 15" retina for $2077. The only downside was I bought it in May and my Applecare was only good from April- guessing the original BB purchase date.
Ive been looking for that sale again but havent seen it since.

Yeah, I tried to get one a few days ago from the Burbank, CA one, and it was cancelled the morning of.
