Yes, just did haha. I knew it was too good to be true. Did anyones order go through?
Went to a different best buy (the store that claimed to have it was around a 40 mins drive away). Printed out the webpage and showed it to an employee. They said they didn't have it at the store (expected) but he said he could check the other stores. The only store that had it was the same one as the one with the discount I found online....with 1 in stock. He called the store and apparently they already sold it "without a power cord" (weird).
Dang.
Dang.
If anyone is in Louisiana (baton rouge area) I am willing to sell one for $100 above the asking price. I was able to pick up 2 of them.
That is an incredible deal. Gratz to all who could find one for this or a similar price!
I believe that Apple can reset the warranty date if you can prove that you bought it from a retailer, in case this is necessary.

These are the models from last June when the first retina macs launched. So they are a generation old but still an amazing deal. Check your local best buys alot of stores in my area have these still. You can search online by going to shop and deals then going to instore clearance and open-box. Then just search local store stocks. Good Luck
Well I kinda need this computer before September....
I pretty much need the 512gb, 256 will be very difficult considering I'll have bootcamp ~100gb, Mac ~ 20gb, Xcode and more.
Want the 2.6/512/8 or better. The best deal I can find is $2149 from B&H (apple refurb store is cheaper but B&H has no tax). If anyone has a better deal that would be awesome

The site isn't always accurate...it turns out every store near me was sold out..even though the site said otherwise

How long did it take for the order to be canceled for you? I ordered almost an hour ago, I haven't received a cancellation email, but I also have not gotten the email saying I'm cleared to pick up.
around 5 mins... an hour seems weird.
You could call them, but unfortunately you can't actually contact the store directly--you have to go through best buy's customer "service" phone number.
About 10 minutes. Maybe you're cleared? Best call or go in person though to make sure, for something like this. Funny thing was, it took me a few tries to even get the order through. They kept rejecting my credit card and my wife's. We had to end up trying multiple ones before one went through.
Interesting. I called customer support and she said the store had one in stock, but until I got the email finalizing the order she could not guarantee it to me. Looks like I will be making an early morning 2 hour drive with my fingers crossed the whole way!
Yea still just in the "order received" status. States that it is "confirming in-store stock"
I really don't know, but I'm excited to find out!
I heard the 13 retina was like 899 or so and the 2.6/8/512 15 retina was 1499. I didn't find anything at my store though
So these "clearance" Macbooks have to be purchased in person. Is that why online orders are being cancelled? Is my best chance just to try going to the store that says they have it in stock? How accurate is the website? If it's listed, is there a chance it's not available in store?
Just got the $1499 model at bestbuy. ordered online and order accepted in 20 minutes. It is brand new. everything's perfect. Battery cycle was 1 when I opened it. Manufactured in august 2012, so it was indeed in stock for too long and may need clearance.
Forgot about haswell, nowell, somewell.... Nothing can beat a RMBP15 512g for $1499
funny though, 3 weeks ago I ask the same item (was 1999 dollars) at a bestbuy and want them to cut $100 off, they didn't budge at all. Now they cut 500 dollars off.....
They didn't show it at store. you need to ask, or you can order one online and pickup yourself.
inventory is running out fast.
