It appears that Best Buy will not be the best place for you to buy your Apple products in the future, if the latest rumors are to be believed. MacRumors are reporting that Apple are not pleased, in any shape or form at the way Best Buy have been selling their products. It seems that Best Buy were limiting the quantity of iPad 2’s for sale as they had reached their sales quota for the day and actually were telling customers they were out of stock.
This type of sales practice is definitely a big no no if you carry Apple stock and it seems that Best Buy has had their entire Apple stock withdrawn, although they are still showing as inventory on their website.
We’ll follow up this story and let you know of any further developments so keep checking back for that.
