Deal Details
QA Edit: Seems the 50% off appliance part of this deal may have died but users as of today 5/1 still say they're getting the 50% off on open box TVs still. So we will let this thread stay in Hot Deals for another day or so, for users that still can get it.
------------------------

I was shopping around for a new washer/dryer, and picked out a pair by LG. Called in to the store to find out what might be damaged on the washer since you can't go in and see it. The Best Buy website lists the open box price as $695.99. They went over and looked at it, told me about the scuffs, and then mentioned "oh, and the open-box promotion brings it down to $347.99

I bought it, then called the other Best Buy that had the matching dryer, also as open-box. I asked them what was wrong with it, and about the price since "another Best Buy said you're running an open box promotion" and we all know that could be specific to one location or whatnot. The guy on the phone said the price I got the washer for was crazy, he'd never heard of such a thing. He went to explain that open box pricing changes all the time depending on the new item sale prices etc, but he'd ask his manager. He came back and said that there's an additional coupon he has to scan, for 50% off open box major appliances. The Geek Squad extended warranty price is based on the price you pay, not MSRP, so that also goes down in price should you be interested.

Pricing on the website does NOT reflect this promotion. You must call the store so they can scan the coupon, and pay over the phone. My order doesn't show any SKU for a coupon, just the super-low price.

One of the lower priced available washers (Whirlpool WTW5000DW) is the same price you can get new at Home Depot. Guess you have to look closely through these.

The pricing for last year model TVs is already priced as is , that goes for the Sony a8 and lg b9/c9. This was already going on for a week or so for TVs. So most people bought them. If you can find a tv that's listed in fair or satisfactory condition it's 50% off the sale price.
I just purchased the last satisfactory C9 within 250 miles, but it didn't reflect the 50% off. If I call in the morning, will they adjust the pricing?

How much did you pay for it ? What size ? It should be updated automatically. Did you order it online ?

If that was open-box, you can try. this discount is only for open-box appliances.

I would want to personally look at and inspect any open box appliance I was buying before hassling with store visit/pickup/transport.
