Well, actually you are not wrong Chris.
If you think about it, you are making a very big point there, actually.

Thanks!

You are wrong Chris. Oh!
Not right, not wrong.

If you follow the second quote of what you said, you can actually believe it or not. But all in all the point to the conclusion is to actually make sure that the activation is done, period.

With or without numbers, the solution is clear. Hope I solved it now with the 3.14159265. Man!

Ignoring Pi and the therory for relativity there, let me make it simple:

The Buy Back program is utterly pointless. You can ALWAYS get much more from a private sale. Look at Kelly Blue Book. They have to values for reselling a used car. A trade in (dealer) value and a private sale (classifieds, eBay, etc) value. Which one is lower? Exactly. :) They WANT you to sell it back to them so they can turn right back around and sell it for what you could have had for it.

Now, that's right, but if you don't have to pay the $99 for that Buy Back plan, don't you think it is at least worth it? just in case you need fast money at some point? You don't have to take it back if you don't want to, and you are not spending money on getting the plan.

But i do agree with you, that Apple products are worth a lot more than what Best Buy will give you back for it. Even old Apple products hold on for long, no doubt about it.

The buy back program is not for you to just get money back. thats not the point The point is, you can buy a product now and six months, (or 12 or 18 what ever) from now if there is a new model, you can pretty much upgrade to that by selling your machine back and you get a gift card. You are NEVER gonna get the full retail value back, not after its been used. Thats the same case if you sell on E-bay. Why would someone pay for a $399 64GB iPod touch thats been used when they could buy a new one for the same $399

Besides if six mohtns from now you return it and it has some scratches or dents, your value will go down, just like it would if you were to sell it on e-bay

I bought it with my Samsung laptop I just purchased as I need a computer for my new job that I start late this week and its only going to be temporarily till I can get some more money and perhaps buy a better machine (not that this laptop is bad, it has the latest sandy bridge processor, I just want something a bit better, better graphics etc)

Besides, you don't have to buy it if you don't want to.
