Yesterday I mentioned this deal to my wife who has been wanting a new laptop. Our local BB?s rarely have the clearance prices people find and post here. I told her to have her parents who live 4 hours away from us, but less than a mile away from a BB to go check their store. Perhaps they would get lucky. No luck, they didn?t even have one in stock. But they had their BB check stock in our area, and said one store an hour away from us had 11, and a store 20 minutes away from us had 1. I told her not to bother, there were no confirmed reports on the ?smoking? price at ATHD other than the OP. She went down there today in spite of my advice not to waist her time and gas. She said the store was dead. She asked if they had the laptop in the OP. He checked the computer and said they had one and it was $499. She said a ?friend? picked one up at a different store for $309. He asked what store and she said she wasn?t sure. She was right there looking over the BB employees shoulder and saw a listing of all the stores in our region including the local price. She pointed out a nearby store that sold their last one at $304 something and asked if they would match that. Nobody was more surprised than I when she told me he said yes.
Not even a YMMV, but just luck that belongs in the brag and moan section, if there still was one. My thanks to Harvey for the OP though. I?m going to find those XP drivers and upgrade it.
