Deals: 20% bonus on iOS trade-ins, more MacBook Pro discounts and Air bundles
In this weekend's deal roundup: trade-in services are increasing payouts by as much as 20% for used iPads, iPhones and iPods ahead this year's product refreshes. Meanwhile, over a dozen new MacBook Air configs are in stock along with the return of the $999 MacBook Pro with optical drive. And some 13-inch Retina MacBook Pros are now discounted by $900-$1000.
MacMall now has 14 different 2013 MacBook Air configurations in stock and ready to ship as of press time (models highlighted in green), with the remaining configurations shipping in just a few business days.
AppleInsider readers who choose to purchase from MacMall can use the links in our Price Guides or in the Price Guide inserts in this article to activate the Promo Code field on MacMall's product pages for all MacBook Airs, MacBook Pros and iMacs that they stock. Entering Promo Code APPLEINSIDER01 and then clicking "Apply" will knock an additional 3% off MacMall's already discounted pricing on these Macs.
The 3% discount is available only when ordering online and online orders are processed in the order they are received. It's also worth noting that unlike stores like Apple, Wal-Mart, and Target, MacMall only collects sales tax in CA, IL, NY, TN, MN, GA, NC, WI.
iOS Device Trade-in Bounties Rise
It's within the months leading up to each new iOS device introduction that existing iPhones and iPads hold their highest trade-in resale values, and as such trade-in services are propositioning customers to lock in a quote for their own trade-ins if they can. To sweeten the pot, Gazelle is offering to pay AppleInsider readers an additional $10 on any trade-in item valued over $25 while NextWorth will give you an additional 20% in value for all iPads, iPhones and iPods when using Promo Code BONUS20 during the trade-in process.13-inch MacBook Pro Retina Price Drops

Do you expect the folks at ai to work for free? Or would you prefer to just pay for access? Or make donations? Send in your check and get everyone else to do the same and I bet they'll be happy to drop the ads and promotions
Well just my 2 cents here for the sake of a discussion.
I must say, I really enjoy the DED articles as not much else is happening on the weekends [edit ~ in the tech news I mean] and it beats the heck out of reading about politics, religion, wars and mayhem (sadly the last three are one and the same most times).
As to AI pushing their sponsors I guess it's their right to do so. They are easy enough to ignore if not one's cup of tea.
I don't mind the advertisements and affiliate links, but I do think that AI should be responsible and give a disclaimer or something for full disclosure.
That'd get rid of the trolls, at least.
I doubt it, Scamsung would just pay them more ...
I wonder what it's like to have an infinite marketing budget?
I don't know what you are complaining about. I use the AI price chart all the time. It's way easier than checking each site individually.
It's saved me a ton of time, and allows me to watch the prices and buy at the right time.
It's a great feature if you ask me...
I ordered
hahahahahahaha
Idk if that's normal for MacMall but would be inclined to think the salesman was several sausages short of a barbeque
