It’s a $100 upgrade at Apple. I’m taking about a model that has an i5/8gb/256ssd config.
But there in lies my confusion:
the base models are i3/8/256 and i5/8/512
i5/8/256 is a custom order ; there is no $1049 SKU afaik
the base models are i3/8/256 and i5/8/512
i5/8/256 is a custom order ; there is no $1049 SKU afaik
I see what you mean. As a club store, they sometimes get custom configurations of items. Odds are, they won’t carry a config like what I want but you never know.
I doubt they'll do anything to offer that i5/8/512 even if it does get re listed.. if it were me I'd take the i3 for net $749 and run
They actually had it on the website on Thursday and Friday but it was the gold color.I doubt they'll do anything to offer that i5/8/512 even if it does get re listed.. if it were me I'd take the i3 for net $749 and run
I saw that too but I'm just saying
I doubt a supervisor will take $500 off that model, sounds like you talked your way into the i3 for $200 off the list price which aint bad.
But keep us posted !
I’ll probably order the base i3 model this week and use the cash card for accessories.

W: So you have the item numbers correct but they did not send the right item to you. This is a shipping error.
W: I would normally place an exchange for items but when they are out of stock we can only do a refund.
W: Or wait till item comes back and do an exchange. But we do not know when the item will be back.
D: I'm willing to wait.. is it possible to put a comment down on my account to do an exchange later once the item is available?
W: It will be placed in our notes. I will have to suggest on keeping an eye out for this . And contact us as soon as you see it back. Then we can do the exchange. They don't really keep an eye out for these kind of thing s but they will do it for you When the item comes back and you contact us.
