BB is offering an extra 10% off open box /clearance items through today. Not sure if it needs a coupon (I got one via email) but it's a good way to pickup an iPad at a discount.
I got an Air 128/Cellular (which seem to be hard to find, only 1 BB within 50 miles had an open box model) for nearly 200$ off; only downsides were:
1) No box - but everything was there except the Apple stickers and SIM card tool. Since I chuck boxes anyway it was no big deal for me given the savings.
2) Previous buyer had activated the cellular plan (which was still working) and try as I might I could not get the provider to turn it off. I didn't realize it until I saw I was getting emails with no WiFi connection. Not really an issue since I pulled the SIM card and went with T-Mobile but you'd think someone returning a device would remember to kill the data plan as well. According to the provider it was on auto renew as well.
