Our power cord for our laptop stopped working the other day. As our computer slowly drained its battery until it fell asleep indefinitely, we decided we'd definitely have to get a new one. Tad took Lucy to the Apple Store yesterday and found to his horror, that a new power cord is somewhere in the range of $80. WHAT?!!! I love Apple products and everything but come ON!
So, while Tad thought about the worthwhile-ness of that particular purchase, he got an idea. He went on one of the Apple computers set up in the store and went to the Craigslist site. He searched for an Apple Notebook Power cord and found a man selling one in Milwaukee for $30.
Cordially thanking the Apple staff at the store, he and Lucy headed out to a Cell Phone store on Capitol Drive where they proceeded to purchase the same needed power cord for $50 less!
I was impressed by this tale and thought I'd share.
