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.
How do you figure ?
Best Buy sale price is $549, open item price is $533. 50% off $533 is $267.
Home Depot price is $497....
Please explain

I would want to personally look at and inspect any open box appliance I was buying before hassling with store visit/pickup/transport.
Yes, you do want to ask about any cosmetic damage.

How much did you pay for it ? What size ? It should be updated automatically. Did you order it online ?
I just purchased the last Open Box Satisfactory C9 65 online for $2,089.99. The 50% discount didn't apply because the brand new pricing is $2,199.99.

That sounds to me as you bought one in excellent condition. If it was satisfactory which usually missing the stand / remote / box / etc. the price would have been 50%

The only receipt posted so far did not have any indication of what the 50% discount was for. Anyone else have a receipt with a discount listed, or receipts showing the discount to use as ammo when we ask about this?

Yes buy now and cash about the 50%
I don't see the option to buy now. it only shows "find a store" next to the open box item.

So are these the stipulations for the coupon?
1) Open box Satisfactory or Fair condition
2) Major appliance or TV

I need a laptop and there are a few I'm definitely willing to pull the trigger on. Some are in excellent condition.

Satisfactory is described as missing non essential items/ accessories. You're thinking of fair condition

Yes, online because it was the last one for $250 miles. I'll call in the morning and see if they'll do the 50% since I just spent $2k on a new washer and dryer last week! If not, then I'll just cancel the order.

tempted to buy online and then call to see if they will honor it, but I have a feeling they will deny the discount unless its at the time of purchase
