Apple - Sale?

Sally-Lou

Does anyone know when/if Apple do a sale? My husband wants an ibook, and I'm trying to convince him to wait for a sale, but I'm not sure if Apple do sales?

Any advice would be great.

Apple often run these 'special' events. From experience they boil down to - anyone interested in Apple products... come along and buy the same stuff for the same price and be extra happy.

I would like to be proved wrong, but Apple are notorious for not budging one bit on price, you may be able to get a warranty thrown in but that'll be about it. Their theory being that 'our products are lovely and people will pay!' is a sound one, unfair but sound.

Why is that approach unfair exactly?

I'm sure its a one day sale the only one per year they do, i came on here trying to find out what the discounts are likely to be if anyone knows.

I missed the sale last year did'nt check my emails regular enough but i have been waiting for it this year!

My daughter wants a laptop and i was told in store to wait for the one day sale in November, expect only be 10% though or maybe only 5% .
Someone will know i hope!

I got this email too! i think its due to black friday in america (day after thanksgiving)

Also have you checked the refurb section out
they are a bit cheaper and come with same standard warrenty

As I recall from previous years, the savings are about 5%. Nowhere near as good as using the refurb store, but better than nothing if, like me you are lusting over a magic mouse or some sort of similar peripheral!

The free shipping is actually the bargain here - it has been increasingly irritating me that the break on free shipping is now at the £75 ish mark. It makes it cheaper for me to actually drive to an Apple store and pay for the parking, than order a vital connector or whatever from their website.
