			The 10% restocking fee comes to less than $70 and the sales tax is refundable as should be the case.  I don't know about Best Buy, but at Apple the restocking fee was only charged if the iPad had been opened, which my wifes had.  If yours is open too, you could consider it the fee for it's short term use

			Funny maths of a casual encounter: 
		
	
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	
	I happened to stumble upon a last minute auction in eBay Germany for an iPad. The lucky owner has decided to shell out the nice quantity of €979, to which he'll have to add the cost of the appropiate US-EU electric adapter, for a total of €1000. He's paid that for a device which costed, in the US, and assuming it didn't take any tariffs with it, $699. The exchange rate being 1,33 to 1 aproximately, €1000 are circa $1330, almost doubling the original US value of the thing. Talk about impulse buying.  |

			No, the point of this auction is to make back the cost of the sales tax. If you give me where you live I'll quote the shipping cost. Should not be too much.

			But it's now used. So why would anyone pay less then 10% off the full price?
