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.

Got a new basic range for $211, down from $649 regularly. Got the matching built in microwave for $111 from $269. All open box fair, the rep looked and told me they are floor models with little to no damage.

Madison, WI. That may have helped, as OP is also in (presumably Madison)

That's a slick deal.

edit: got the range installed and it's great - no damage! Very happy with my purchase.

Which store I called skokie and HIP and both stores seem clueless with washers and dryers
I just bought a washing machine from orland park location on S. Lagrange Rd. with this 50% off promotion. Talk to Rick in appliances over there. Awesome dude

I was told 50% off the "On Sale" price of a new item for Open-Box. All locations were willing to process my request for items in Satisfactory or Fair condition. All i had to do was mention the Friends & Family discount. Got a satisfactory condition B9 OLED 65" for $1016.49 here in Iowa. SLIIIIIIIICK!

What was the promo code? How did they apply it?
I didn't use any promo code. I just asked first if they had the item in stock. I asked if I could use the friends and family discount you all have going on for open box items. He stated he didn't think this was applicable and to maybe try online. I told him I will try that but first could he check with his manager first. I think he just went to the back and typed in something and it worked. I don't think he actually had to talk to a manager.

I'm currently picking up the same set in SE Michigan. My cost was a little over $900 before I added the 5 year warranty to both.
Yeah, they offered me the 5 year warranty for $100 on each. Said I could call and get that added during the 14 day return window.

Bailey's crossroads worked for me
I am talking with them right now. Although they admit that I can get the discount - I'll have to come to the store to get the price adjusted and need to bring a BB employee who can show their employee ID. I already got a fridge & dishwasher from another location and they didn't even bother to ask for that. just paid over the phone and got an instant email confirmation for pickup. The second store now telling me to do differently. confusing but they are the only store around me have the microwave/oven in stock. I guess I'll come and get the $ adjusted.

So are appliances 50% "with" the employee discount mentioning? Or are they just 50% off open box items by default (like store promo)?

I was able to get the Samsung Q90 82' for 2250 yeee! The Open Box price was 3599 online and when it called they dropped it down to 2250, which is not bad. First time I have been able to score a deal like that. Thanks dudes and dudets!
Solid price. I'm trying to decide between the 82 Q90 or a 85" Sony X950G for $1500.

I called a store and was told they required a code from an employee in order to receive 50%. Anyone encountered this? If anyone has a code that they are not using I'd love to have it. Or if it's not unique code, I'd like to give it a try too. TIA!

Nice! I'm going to try the Ann Arbor store here in a minute. I can go to Novi if I have to but I would prefer not to. Thanks!
