Black Friday 2011: A List of Discounts on Apple Products and More
Do you like this story?
Sales Tax
National retailers such as Apple and Best Buy charge local sales tax on all orders. So, the advantage of using other online-only retailers is not getting charged that sales tax at the time of order (though you are typically expected to report it later). Local sales taxes are automatically charged for the following retailers in the following states:
- Amazon: Kansas, Kentucky, New York, North Dakota, or Washington
- MacMall: North Carolina, Illinois, New York, California, Tennessee, Minnesota, Colorado, and Wisconsin.
So, if you are in one of those states, it may make sense to look elsewhere or simply buy locally anyway if the savings are comparable.
iPad 2s
BestBuy was offering $45 off all iPad 2 models, but it appears to be sold out online. You may have luck at your local stores.
MacMall is offering $25-$45 discounts on iPad 2s as well depending on model. They appear to still be in stock.
Apple's online store is offering $41-$61 off the iPad 2 depending on model. Stock should be good from Apple.
Discounts on Other Apple Products
Apple's online sales prices will be on their online Apple Store, but their discounts will generally be the worst for most products (iPad 2 exception above), especially when sales tax is included.
Here's a list of prices at MacMall, Amazon and Apple Online's prices across the range of Apple's products.

Price Matching

Please note that prices may fluctuate during the day, though we try to keep on top of them. Several of the vendors listed are affiliate partners with MacRumors and referred sales may benefit the site financially.
