I mean, will a lot of people do this? Transforming a $3500 device into a $2500 refurb over night?
I wonder if they will get a lot of these.
Of course, my problem is I can not test it. I need eye glass lenses to test it (apparently), so I don't even think I can go into the store and give it a 30s look. The barrier to entry is quite high for me.
I imagine a not-insignificant number of those who preordered will return it. Anecdotally, everyone I know who bought one plans on doing just that. Sales numbers have been higher than expected, but I do wonder where they net out after returns.
The Apple stores have a machine to test your eyeglasses and match them (if possible) with the set of lenses they have in-house for testing. Lots of people were demo-ing that way when I visited on Saturday.
I bet Apple will sell refurbs for much higher than $2500. My guess is more around the GameStop used game pricing structure of 10% off, maybe round up to 3250.
??? I was writing about it being a hurdle to even try this out. How did you get it being about the returning part and not about trying it out in the store.
