That may not be their fault.
Apple used to have some BS requirement like that for authorized 3rd party web sales.
There was a time when you couldn't purchase a new Mac online from SmallDog without a pre-existing relationship with them.
I suspect that Apple's still making some vendors jump through those hoops.
I understand that, but don't understand the pricing difference. Like C(-)ris said, not a very good way to treat new customers.
Having said that, though, a low end 2009 mini upgraded with 4GB RAM and a 500GB hard drive for $755 ("returning" customer price) is pretty sweet.
