Just so you guys know, Apple keeps new devices in stock JUST for exchanges. They have to. Don't worry about your local store not having one, they have plenty for exchange.
This is so completely wrong on every level. Have you ever worked for Apple at a retail store? If no, then you shouldn't be talking and advising people to head down when you're clearly wrong. And if you have worked there... shame on you for lying. They do not purposely back stock items for exchanges. Through the genius bar under warranty, they might when that stock comes in. But I'm pretty sure most consumers want a fresh boxed product just like they purchased in case that needs to come back later as well...Just so you guys know, Apple keeps new devices in stock JUST for exchanges.

That's the model I ordered ... and will return if it bleeds like that one.iPad 2 64GB WiFi Black here:
What they're not telling you is that yes you CAN take it back to Apple and if they have units at the Genius Bar to swap, you're fine. What they're not telling you though is that once you do this, you are no longer entitled to return the iPad to Best Buy should you want to return it for a refund. You're basically getting a completely different product with an obviously new and different serial number. If you don't see that possibility, then you're golden. But if you do... beware.
They don't record it on the receipt? Well in that case.. just ignore me, I thought they did. Pretty sure they do with cell phones, assumed they did with these along with computers.
All you need is the iPad. You're not making an "exchange." You're getting a repair. They can't repair it there, so you'll walk out with a new iPad in a nondescript package.
