I was interested in this because I bought a netbook and recently bought a Macbook Air because I got tired of the former. It's been over a year, but I'm sure I could get more than a paltry $50 for it, and worse, having to buy it at time of purchase is an additional expense that makes little sense.

On the other hand, BB can lure people into buying these, then giving them reduced cost hardware that they can profit from a 2nd time. Genius.
