I see new not refurb on the website.
Also, Best Buy isn’t going to sell at below cost so they won’t price match this time

Maybe the hacker went into the Tiger Direct CMS and changed the markup on all its products to 0%?
Are the discounted prices now being displayed on Tiger Direct what the resellers actually pay Apple for these products?

I generated a virtual card number via Capital One to use on Tiger Direct and locked 🔒 the virtual card after making the purchase in case the card gets compromised. 🤷 Regardless, all (most?) credit cards are protected against fraud.

Sadly not available where I live, or I'd buy one or even a couple just as family devices that will likely last a decade and stay great for any generic task.
I snagged an 11” Silver M2 Pro 256GB and a Studio display. Hope they pan out, but seems like this is low risk. Wasn’t really in the market for either but can’t say no at those prices.
I got a 1TB 11” M2 Pro for $757, but I’m quite certain it’s going to be cancelled.
I am reluctant about this. The price seems too good to be true, and when I was looking around it seemed like TigerDirect is not particularly reputable. Lots of negative reviews. Tempting, though.
The only reason I pulled the trigger is the fact that I ordered from TD Bank very regularly in the late 2000s and early 2010s and never had an issue.
Ordered a 256GB M1 iPad Air Starlight (says WiFi & 5G) for $391.99 with tax and shipping for $426. Then noticed people on here talking about the 128GB iPad Pro M2 for $400, so ordered one of those for $428 with tax, and tried to go back to cancel the Air, but cannot find a way to do it. Used PayPal for both, so we'll see what happens. Also took screenshots that show these are listed as NEW, so if I get some kind of beat up refurbs, I have a case to file with PayPal for refund.
Now patiently waiting...

So that's what TD stands for.

I haven’t seen anyone mention it yet, but they also have the iPad Pro 12.9” 128gb 6th gen for $555.99. Silver & Space Grey.
Online retailer TigerDirect has slashed pricing on the M1 iPad Air in several colors, offering the base 64GB configuration for just $313.99https://www.tkqlhce.com/click-462641-12637418?url=https://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1273774&CatId=11944 in Purple and Pink.

That's a savings of 48% compared to Apple's normal $599.00 pricing, and is by far the lowest price we've ever tracked for these current-generation models. Both models are listed as in stock and should ship the next business day.
For those who prefer cellular connectivity, the 64GB M1 iPad Air is similarly discounted to $391.99 from $749.00 in Purple and Pink. The Starlight color option is also listed at this price but described as "available for pre-order" and thus not in stock for immediate shipping. The Starlight model also requires a $9.99 shipping fee, whereas the other colors come with free shipping.
If 64GB isn't enough storage, TigerDirect is also heavily discounting some cellular 256GB models down to $469.99 from $899.00. This pricing is available in Blue, Purple, and Pink, but as with the Starlight 64GB cellular models, these configurations are listed as available for pre-order and will incur a $9.99 shipping fee.
With discounts this steep, we can't rule out the possibility that this is a pricing error and orders could be canceled by TigerDirect, but this is an excellent opportunity for those willing to take a chance on a fantastic deal on the current iPad Air. For those unfamiliar with TigerDirect, it is a longtime computer retailer that was merged with MacMall and which also absorbed online assets and operations of notable now-defunct brick-and-mortar retailers Circuit City and CompUSA.

I couldn’t resist! Hope this is real.

That doesn’t explain the 12.9” 128gb M2 for $555 in Space Grey and Silver. Pretty sure those are popular colors.

I know what's going on. Due to last quarter's Mac sales being down 28.66% year-over-year and missing analyst estimates ($7.74 billion vs. $9.63 billion estimate), Apple (through TigerDirect) is having a major sale to drive demand.
I mean, it worked for Tesla. 🤣
Musk says Tesla's price cuts are boosting demand but Cybertruck won't ramp up until 2024
Tesla's decision to slash prices this month has boosted demand, and the automaker cannot make vehicles fast enough. The Cybertruck pickup, however, won't see volume output until 2024.

I have absolutely no need for an iPad, but I'm tempted . . . I haven't tracked pricing at all, but it seems like an impossibly good deal.
😳 Holy cow!!! Okay this has got to be a mistake.
