Does Apple sell at reduced prices to churches?

[iaJim]

The subject says it all. A friend called and asked.

[Racer X]

not that I have ever heard.

Government, education and then everyone else.

[will2000]

They should!

What is the lowest price out there? For Federal employees?

[Racer X]

where would you have them draw the line will?

and this

For example, Catholic Church? yeah, obvious. Wiccan? maybe, but why Wiccan, and not BeerChurch? Where is the line.

[DharmaDog]

Why would they?

There are a lot of churches, but they haven't historically been large purchasers of IT equipment. Some of them are probably still using mimeographs.

[Racer X]

or at least Performa 630s.

[MacMagus]

If you are ordering several computers you may be able to get a discount. There's often a person at Apple Stores who is authorized to make such deals.

[mattkime]

everybody should get their own little discount

[Seacrest]

Lots of organizations get discounts from Apple.
I can get them through Printing Industries of Northern CA.
However, the discount the offer is only AS HIGH AS 8%, and therefore less enticing than ordering from Amazon with a rebate, and avoiding sales or use tax*.

*technically not legal

[incognegro]

churches get enough breaks.

i'll stop there so this doesn't get moved to the other side.
