I was at a local store today and they still had a PRS-505 on display and the price was $199. I asked if they had any more but that was the last one. I was offered a 10% discount so I said I'd take it. They have the original box and all the stuff is intact.

The rub is, they couldn't get it out of the display holder because it was connected to an alarm so they have to call me when they get someone to figure out how to get it out.

Question: Now that I have time to think about it, I'd like opinions - should I go through with it?
