Best Buy is trying to keep me from becoming a happy 15" PowerBook owner. I've been carrying this powerbook brochure in my pocket for the last month as I save up and guess what happens...
I have 1225 dollars in best buy in-store credit from a returned laptop (HP) and I want to get a 15" PowerBook.
I also have the remaining balance to purhcase the powerbook.
So I go to buy it and best buy says "We don't have any 15" PowerBooks in our distribution center so there's nothing we can do."
Not only am I having to buy it from them, I'm being forced to pay full price (and not get the student discount).
I was hoping someone could help me come up with a solution to the 1225 dollars I have sitting in limbo.
Here's what i've come up with so far:
Offer someone 1225 dollars towards a flat-screen TV or something in exchange for 1125 dollars cash.
Sell the in-store credit on e-bay for 1125 dollars (but I think i have to be the one to use it).
Buy a gift card for 1225 dollars and sell it on ebay.
Turns out, they don't really have any apples in stock. I had them look to see if they had any 12" PowerBooks with the superdrive because I know I could easily sell one of those on eBay, but once again i'm greeted with the same sorry response.
:::::: Please offer any suggestion you think may work. I've done everything in my power at this point to become a happy mac user and now I need help.....

Are you in California, by any chance?

No, actually i'm located in Florida....
I just actually purchased a iBook with the money and am going to attempt to trade it in for a powerbook when it arrives at the local mac store.
I guess no one had any suggestions... I'm probably the only one something like this has happened to.
Thanks for viewing though

Maybe you could just wait until they get more Macs in stock. Possibly.
