Applecare-Cheapest Place To Buy

I remember seeing something about a place in LA that was suppose to be a good place to buy the Applecare. I have the MBP 13 and I think it is MA519ll/A $249 at the Apple Store. Anyone remember the name??

MBP 15, 2.53 and a PC with Vista, Mac OS X (10.5.6)

ebay is the cheapest usually; however, being very cautious is a good thing:

check out the seller's feedback, and I prefer buying it only if it is advertised as new and in an unopened factory sealed box.

There have been many threads here regarding this issue - do some sellers email a previously used registration code? Some have reported that Apple has refused some activations; in some cases you won't know until you'd actually need to take advantage of the Applecare because of some problem. You can avoid that by only buying it in a factory sealed box.

You can find the place in LA here (I've purchased from them as well):

Lol, I'm prepared to humour you on this occasion. The store was in Lakeside in Essex, UK. I have no idea of the sales assistants name as I didn't make a purchse there and then, I opted to purchase my MacBook and Apple Care directly from Apple over the phone.

This was not a 'store opening' this was a member of staff who was advising me as I browsed the store. I took her suggestion with the help of a kind friend who is a full-time student and recieved my Apple Care for the bargain price of £46.

From a very happy customer.
