We went in for an iMac and we went home with an iMac. For a bit less than we were expecting too. Sometimes you just have to be happy with the little breaks you get in life. Going out of our way to get more discount, that souped up iMac or something else could and eventually would turn around and bite us in the ass. Its called karma.

If I was in that situation, I would argue that I paid for the unit that was in that box, that THEY sold that unit to me, and now they're trying to rip me off. I don't care if it was a mistake or not, the fact is they already sold it to me, and trying to swap it out and opening the box is theft. Even worst, trying to pull a fast one. Of course if you're nice enough, you'll let them slide. I would obviously be pissed, even more so at the fact that I didn't personally get to unwrap the present myself (aka be the first to open it or be the only one opening it for that matter). There really is no way to rectify such a situation like that unless they ordered a new iMac extreme and replace that in my opinion. Others may be nicer and accept something less or even go with the original iMac (now removed from the box) or do what the Cow did and take the discount, but personally I think they deserve what they get for being dirty. If they had been honest and told me they made a legitimate mistake, I would have been understanding. But since they wanted to be dicks, I'd gladly take it the whole nine yards to get the unit I paid for.

You should have taken pics told them this will be on digg, and emailed to Steve Job's and than you should have told them you are John Cow, and seen them sweat. You could have walked away with at least a $500 discount.
