I just got Bestbuy to retroactively price match the apple "refurb" price for a 16gig vzw LTE model. I bought it on 10/7, and planned to return it today.
When I got there, I said I was considering just buying one of the discounts refurbs over the iPad 4 (w/ retina blah blah blah).
So the refunded me the difference of the $629.99 price to the $509.00 that apple is selling them for now.
I'm happy with the outcome. Saved me a trip to the apple store (1.25 hrs away), a new activation fee for Verizon, and 3 free month of lte service that I was offered to add it to my share plan.
