Is this like playing the stock market and how low can I expect it to go? It's gone from 1189 to 1190 and now back to 1181. Not a big change obviously but should I wait to see where it goes?

I've heard about cashback but really don't know how that works. Is the best way through live.com or ebay?. Isn't there always a 60 day waiting period for the cashback?

Well, whatever they use just dropped the price down to $1149.00. Down $32.00 from a few hours ago. This is just like watching the Dow Jones Industrials.
