Because now the demand is much higher than supply, even 100 higher than normal retail price still can sell out like hot cakes, so what for selling normal price?

nah... even until today those resellers will keep on saying no stock no stock when you walk in and ask for it. whether real no stock or not, i dono but it's just stupid why stop someone from buying when you can get sales?

push someone hard enuf, then one would rather buy from scalpers or just buy from apple online store. either way, resellers loss, true or not?

I thought buying from Apple Resellers will be convenient, so is the other way round, they require you to purchase minimum of RM3XX worth of accessories before you can purchase the Ipad 2....

Sucks! Buy online and wait better...no need to rush anyway...

Hmm.. That was 1 month back. My friend inquired them and they said you don't have to buy accessories to get iPad 2. Hmm. The resellers were Macstudio lol.

Why the price Online is lot cheaper than buy it at reseller or like lelong and others.

I am planning to buy it OL but confuse why people willing to take long cue at apple reseller to made pre-order.

My question, is it buy online price for real?

If you say buying from lelong or other people, yes the prices are higher... but if you say resellers (assuming you're referring to Apple Authorised/Premium Resellers) are selling higher price than AOL, perhaps you can show us some backing of your claims. I wanna make sure Apple sees this...

which reseller are you talking about?

reseller as in i buy online then sell it to you? or those computer shops/mobile phone stall?

people are queuing at real apple reseller (for example switch/machines or even harvey norman) is because they might get it quicker than buying online

buying online, today you order, it might take 10 to 30 days to reach your hand. It might be slow either due to low stock or stupid custom delaying and delaying it.

yes, the buy online price is for real

Machines etc rather sell by bulk to handphone shop resellers, i bet they get some 'commision' from these agents. Better than rrp to customers. Thats why always xde stock. Try search about the Hong Kong case.

Best is apple store online, it takes time but better than giving money to handphoneshop sellers. They are just getting some revenge since ipad 1 officially out, the rrp was damn low than their cutthroat prices. So they need to cov back the loss.
