New Pro 3 Owner From Pro 2 and Best Buy Hooked Me Up!

[nightrider76]

Ok so I sold my Pro 2 128GB on Ebay so i could upgrade to a Pro 3. So far i am loving the bigger screen since that was my main gripe with the pro 2. So I ordered my new pro 3 online for pick up at my local BB. Went for the I5 256gb unit. Got it home, setting it up, i went to system to see the stats and low and behold it said core I7 8gb ram. So someone at BB messed up and gave me a I7 for the cost of an I5, and what made it sweeter is i was able to hunt down a $150 edu coupon too. Part of me feels bad someone messed up there but part of me is like well not my fault. Already spent 2 hours setting it up before i discovered it. What would you do?

Welcome to the forum

What a deal!

 

[kundas1]

what I would do is buy another one and sell it for profit! I'm sure ALL of the i7 is priced mistakenly... but thats just me

What would you do?

Enjoy it.

When I bought mine it was going to be an open box for $100 off. After they rang me up I stepped off to the side to make sure everything was in there. The pen was missing from the box. I guess Best Buy's QC missed that before they decided to sell it.

No worries they bring me up a new one as they only had the one open box. The kicker was they charge me the same price. So I got my i5 128 for $899.

At 1st the girl in customer service said they would have to charge me full price for it but when she did the exchange she said I got it for the same price as the open box. Maybe it was a glitch in their system or something but I was not complaining and the girl at customer service didn't appear to care..

Some (not me, I have an i7) would have you believe you downgraded by going from the i5 to the i7. Enjoy!!

Personally, I would go back and return it (if I wanted the i7, I'd pay the difference otherwise, I would settle for the i5). I just would not be able to rest easy. But then that's just me and people would, no doubt, call me an idealist and an idiot, but I don't mind.

I'd rather take the punishment and be able to sleep well at night rather than any other alternative. Another affirmation, perhaps that I am really a idealistic fool!

Got nearly the same deal, $150 off my i3 with 10% off the type cover and Microsoft complete! On top of that there was no tax and I got a free sleeve plus a lawn chair of all things lol.

Personally I would have returned it or paid the difference . When faced with situations like this, you set the price of what you are willing to sell your integrity for.
