Default HOT! Sony Vaio T9300 17" laptop w/Blu-Ray burner -$1315 free ship

Very hot deal on a great laptop

http://www.buy.com/prod/sony-vaio-ar...206854659.html
Not going to find a better deal anywhere. This list for over $2800.00+ elsewhere. May even come back as a price mistake. It also list two part#'s though the description is for the 790 series.

I would jump on it but already have Dell XPS laptops with BD burners.

Heck, I probably would have just sold this one to you for what I paid Dave as I have no use for another lappy, but alas;
Emailed received from buy.com, credit card would not go through. I call them, they said my CC company rejected the charge. I call my cc company and speak with someone in ????? (was not the US). They transferred me over to their fraud department. Fraud department said that they trans was suspicious because they have been having many issues with buy.com (?). Anyhow, my laptop sale was canceled and my account closed by buy.com. Credit card company apologized for the inconvenience.
How all of this happened is beyond me. So no deal for me.

The way I look at things, when I run into that many issues, it just was not meant to be.

Looks like buy.com pulled it off the shelves. Here's the message I got when clicking on the url:

Currently Unavailable: This item is currently unavailable from the Manufacturer.
