I just bought an open box desktop from bestbuy, the list price is $699 new, they offered it to me for $550, I gave them $500 plus they gave me $20 off a notebook bag. also bestbuy gave me no interest financing for 18 months.
They told me it was a display model from their last batch of desktops.
The cheapest I found online was $530 plus shipping for a refurbished one, but I'd rather have one that I know exactly what it was used for than some random one that might have had a major problem with it.
So my question is, did I get a good deal? or is there something I can buy that is better than this desktop.
