So hear me out-

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/global/college-student-deals/pcmcat276200050000.c?id=pcmcat276200050000

(dont need edu email,)

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/apple-9...ace-gray/4901907.p?id=bb4901907&skuId=4901907

(look at open box portion of page, ctrl+f if you dont see it)

$545 for open box, but right now the promo is $100 off any iPad Pro and it works for open box too

I had it in cart for $472 total, already have the 12.9 though.

NOTE- could also do geek squad certified open box for $563 and if your local store has it in stock, it'll be $463+tax, came to $502 out the door if I decide to do it and want it now,

Tempting though ,this is getting very close to my "whatever" point though to have both. Part of me wants to wait for a $50 off deal, open box to drop more, and maybe snag when that comes if it does since window for coupon is until mid July, or maybe not at all since I have an iPad

Anyways, wanted to point this out for anyone looking for a deal 😀

Interesting. I was looking at open box iPad Mini 4s earlier today (so tempting), but I'll wait because I am working on changing my concentration at university and I'm not sure what portable that will mean for me (probably a laptop.)

100% go For it. When you arrive inspect the open box iPad Pro for any Blemishes or scratches and you get an extra 10% off.
 
Explain this 10% off thing ,not following

I hope someone hops on this deal 🙂 seems like as good a time as ever to pull the trigger if you were waiting,

If I didn't have 12.9 I would be all over it

Pardon my butt in: It sounds to me if you find any scratches or blemishes on the iPP, then it is not in the condition Best Buy described and they'll give you an extra 10% off if you politely mention that.
 
Interesting. That makes it even better deal

Sounds like your mileage may vary on that though?

I really dig my 12.9 wouldn't give it up

I have a feeling both 12.9 and 9.7 people will get hosed in the fall so getting a good deal is imperative

9.7 more so, may have iPad 3 length lifecycle. Purposefully held back with 2gb

What are they going to do? Leave a9x until spring next year to get next gen of both siZes? Or more like holidays?
 
I think they might wait until next year on the Pros and maybe even the mini, but what do I know? 😛 Given the shaky upgrade cycles it is hard to say.
 
Tempting but I got a nice deal on a 64GG iPad Air 2 a couple of months ago. I don't think I could survive with only 32GB anymore
 
If I could've lived with only 32gb, I would've gotten this one. But my 128gb 9.7 iPP was only $560 open box at best buy which was a great deal imo.
 
Great price. I got mine for $400 on Craigslist (from an Apple Store employee, so well maintained) and I thought that was the deal of a century.
 
I am having an absolutely awful swappa experience concerning the purchase of an ipad pro 9.7 at the moment. The seller won't ship the item. I have contact swappa and it is not helping. I am going to have to contact paypal.
