    If you added to the cart, the price changed.

    I just bought this unit and saw this and called them and questioned how the price dropped right after I bought it.

    Did they give you any $ back for the price drop? Or did they just tell you too bad? Cause I was kind of worried about the same thing cause I am about to buy this laptop, and I dont want it going down after I buy it and them tell me too bad lol.

    You can always refund it if they say "too bad".

    Also, Just had a conversation with Newegg:

    Hello my name is Latia. How may I help you today?
    2:20:06 PM CustomerBryan
    Hi, I was thinking about buying a laptop but I notice that the price has fluctuated pretty greatly over the past few days/week. I was wondering if I bought a laptop and the price drops the next week, is there any refund for the difference?
    2:21:58 PM AgentLatia
    We do apologize, however we do not offer price protection at this time.
    2:22:41 PM CustomerBryan
    Since you don't offer price protection is there any way for you to let me know when/if a laptop will be on sale and for how long?
    2:23:34 PM AgentLatia
    We do not provide this information. Pricing is subject to change online in real-time and without notice.
    2:23:34 PM AgentLatia
    We do apologize.
    2:23:56 PM CustomerBryan
    So I pretty much just have to take a gamble and there's nothing that you guys can do to guaruntee anything/
    2:24:49 PM AgentLatia
    We do not guarantee pricing.
