Why was the iPad I bought so expensive?

[Jenmar58]

I bought an I-Pad Air 2 from Verizon last Friday and it cost $799. I was looking for a case for it when I discovered Best Buy had them for $499! Did I just buy a 2014 I-Pad Air 2 at Verizon for double the cost??

Was the Best Buy model Wi-Fi only?

[Jenmar58]

Not sure but I will check. $400 is a big difference! So did I buy a two year old I-Pad Air 2?

$499 is wifi only version, but still, the cellular version at Best Buy is $630

Makes me sick to know I paid $799 for mine and I haven't even used it other than set it up and sync with my phone. I was waiting to get a case because it's so thin. I was afraid I would drop it! Can I return it????

Within 14 days you can return. Will have a $35 restocking fee.

That's good to know!! Are you from Verizon and know this to be a fact? Because I will take it back!!

I do not work for Verizon, I am a customer just like you, but this is a fact.
