I think those sick orphans would rather their get healthy than worry about some electronic device that their may not be able to use for long. /s
Sounds like the only winners of this were the ones that matter to fool the poor Best Buy employees into this deal. I just hope this deal didn't cost some poor guy/gal their job either.
I got a M2 iPad Pro 11 from Best Buy half off. I didn’t “fool” them into anything. I walked in, asked “will you price match this?”They said they were aware and matching the discount on the iPad Airs, but they’d need to call to ask about the Pros. They called their superior, got the OK, and sold me the iPad Pro. I asked if I could buy a regular iPad as well, and they said they’d been told only one price match per customer. I asked how many people had came in to ask about the discount, he said he’d only spoken to one customer since clocked in, and I got there an hour before they closed.
I think we all need to realize that we’re Apple/tech enthusiasts, and while WE are all certainly talking about it, not a single one of my friends/family/employees/etc has any clue, nor would they care about iPads being half priced.
We’re taking note of the username.
I'm assuming it had to be in stock? The model I ended up getting from TD wasn't in stock, otherwise I might have run down to my local store to see
Incredible reply, I love it.
You got me. I walked in and said, “you will sell me this iPad.” And they replied, “I will sell you this iPad.”

It wasn’t in stock. It’s being shipped. Can update tomorrow as to its whereabouts.
Usually, whenever something sounds too good to be true, it is.
I would rather buy directly from Apple than this company I haven't heard of, but I wish you people luck in your journey to get a half-price iPad.

Wait, you have been charged? That is actually good. I have:
Authorization in progress.
Does not look like a trustworthy site!

Well mine is a pending charge, so technically no. I just want the pending charge to go away and I’m hoping it doesn’t take too long.
Thanks. I’m fine with them canceling my order out once a decision is made. I just saw that someone posted something a while back that said they might hold the funds for multiple weeks.
Don't cancel now... you've come this far already lol.... and besides a pending charge on your card is nothing, they haven't actually charged you.... If you need to make a purchase and go over your spending limit the Apple card will let you with no fees. so just ignore the pending charge and don't look at it. I am assuming this will be resolved between today and tomorrow..... I don't know how much longer TD can let this fester out there, they don't have the "its over the weekend" excuse any more.
Pending charge isn't a charge. It's just a hold of funds that falls off after so many days (5-7 days, I believe) if the actual charge hasn't gone through. The hold is managed by the credit card company, not the vendor. There's nothing to get back. The hold won't stay indefinitely. You're not out any cash. 👍

I just chatted with Tiger Direct support, and they said that if you order is showing in Order Review it will take 5 to 7 Business Days to review your order, before it can be processed. They suggested Selecting Overnight Shipping when your order is placed to avoid the long Order Review phase. I cancelled my order with them, as I do not want to wait up to 7 business days, just to find out they cancelled my order on me. Your mileage may vary...
Maybe it is me but I don’t understand this logic. You order something at a half price and you cancel it on the next day, because you have to wait 5 more days? Am I missing something important here?
Grin. I was about to say the same thing. I would wait months for a half-price new iPad. On the other hand, I can understand wanting to move on if you're sure it's not going to happen.
