Thanks chgoeditor, sorry for the late reply I guess I missed the notification.

Those arbitrage seem tricky for a novice like me. But unfortunatly I won't have a lot of time to NY (first time my GF would rather go for visit than shopping

)
One last question, I also need to buy an apple watch, do you know between NY and Chicago if there is cheapest place to buy it ?

Thanks
