Intended to buy an iPad for my parents, I was looking for last year's iPad clearance after Apple announced new iPad pro. Yesterday, I found 32gb cellular iPad Pro 9.7 was priced at $439.99 on Newegg. For comparison, Target is doing $100 off sale at $629. Product description is a total mess, but it is directly sold from Newegg. After chatting with customer service to make sure this is not a refurbished product, I placed my order. Newegg didn't even charge me for tax. Seconds after I placed my order, it was out of stock. Feeling really lucky, hope Newegg will honor this order.

That's an amazing price for that unit and its new. I'm not familiar with Newegg though.

Interesting. I typically never purchase from online retailers I'm not familiar with, I always research the return policy before anything. Although, if they have price points like this with other products and they are reputable, I will definitely keep watch. B&H Photo is my primary preference.
 
I was pretty pleased with Newegg right up until a price increased between the time I added an item to my cart and the time I checked out (less than five minutes). Never again. B&H Photo is like my personal Amazon.com.

That's not really dirt cheap.
