MacPro Wheels

Are the assessory wheels available from Apple ($699) the same as the wheels you can buy initially ($400). If they are different, how so.

Your reply does not make sense because Apple sells a set of wheels (that's all, other than a screwdriver) for $699. Are the wheels the same, or not. You imply that they are the same but do not actually say that.


Imagine for a moment that the fixed feet cost $299 if ordered separately.


That fixed-foot price is included in the purchase price of the Mac Pro.


If you want wheels when you order your Mac Pro, those fixed feet get deleted from the order, and wheels provided.


For orders made after the original purchase of the Mac Pro, Apple doesn’t want those fixed feet back, which means you now have both a set of fixed feet and a set of wheels, which means you pay more.


Which means you pay $400 for wheels alone with the Mac Pro purchase, or $400 plus $299 = $699 for both.


And... Oddly enough...


Which also means you could order the Mac Pro with the wheels included (for $400 more), and then pay $299 later to add a set of fixed feet.
