Rogers selling Note 5 for $950 outright.. Should I?

[alex217c]

I've been looking for the note 5 at multiple rogers stores to purchase outright and finally found one that sells it for $950 CAD. Most of them wouldn't sell it for another few weeks cause its their policy to sell it to new customers first who wants to sign a contract.. But is this the correct price? Another rogers was selling it for $1000 and they said every store has their own price.. I thought the actual price was $850.

That sounds very steep to me, but not sure what normal prices in Canada should be...

That looks a bit high, but I'm not in Canada, I'm in USA so I can't say for sure.
Just for comparison, my GS6 Edge 64GB was $919 taxes included.

Are these corporate stores or third party retailer?

They are corporate stores. Rogers wireless. To me it seems like they are overcharging you for outright price so you would rather sign up for subsidized price and get locked into their contract. On rogers website it even shows $359.99 for 2 year contract and save $490 which equals up to be $850 for the full price.
Some rogers store said i need to wait 90 days and some said a month after the release date to outright purchase it. Nothing is consistent in these stores.

The website only allows me to upgrade not outright purchase. I'm gonna try calling them again and see why their store price is different than the online price.
