I want some opinions on what the best place would be to buy a touch. If I buy from apple, I will end up playing about $430 because of taxes... I was considering Amazon, but I have some issues with them I don't want to get into right now.

So, besides Amazon and Apple, what is the best place to buy?

I looked at MacMall, and they have the 16gb for $358.98, the same as Amazon. They charge $9.99 for shipping, but it says there is a Mail-in-rebate for 9.99 on the shipping costs. has anyone done this? I also see they have a 1.1.3 updated touch for $389.94. If you think about it, that's not worth it. (unless my math is wrong there).

But, I've heard some bad things about MacMall and don't want to have a bad experience.

are there any opinions?

thanks.
 
1. Bestbuy is selling for $380 and i would have to pay taxes on top of that.

2. what reseller? besides, unless you live in my town, it wont help.
 
I used to recommend Mac Mall, because I have had a few successful purchases there for good prices, but based on the trouble that a number of other people have reported, I no longer recommend them.
 
hehehe, that's about as far away from me as you can get... i'm in Maine. :)
 
yeah, as i said, i CANNOT deal with amazon due to an issue i have. i'm not going to get into it....

is B&H reputable?

WAIT... it says they have free shipping too. who said it B&H doesn't have free shipping?

No one said they didn't, I just said that Amazon does.
 
B&H is very reputable, just don't try to shop during any Jewish holiday. Giant photo store in NYC.

I bought mine at Costco for ~$370. Not available at costco.com, though. 90 day return policy like no other. Like I'm going to return this. :D

Everybody should have dropped their price $20 to cover the apps as of a week ago. (2 weeks?)

Go ahead and pay some sales tax, maybe they'll fix a road for you to drive on. :rolleyes:
 
Best Buy

I bought a 16g IPT at Best Buy about a week and a half ago for 360 before taxes.

I did have to pay for the upgrade, but the math worked for me.

ha, well i won't be buying anything on a jewish holiday certainly... the next one is Purim in march. and i don't go online on saturdays.

anyways, unless someone else can suggest otherwise, i'll be going for B&H. thanks a lot to whoever suggested it.
 
Alright, i went over to the Marines recruitment center around the corner, and should be shipping of to basic training in mid February. I hope it doesn't take too long because I don't think they would let me use a Touch during training. maybe I should have asked Sgt. Dicks that.
