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.

THE FULL RUNDOWN !!

Employees of bestbuy get a coupon code in their work app that is a barecode you are supposed to get.
you can call and try the friend thing and the people are just using their own shared bar code.

I called into the store and they had items not on the website and got me a great deal.
I believe they are doing this to remove extra bulk in the store allowing it to make the store to have more room when they finally re open. they would be more space to walk around people.

my total was 752 as I added a 50 dollar stacking kit and then 49 in taxes.
he took my creditcard over the phone and scheduled free garage delivery.

Is the A8G worth getting for $999.99? No stand or remote.
I think so...just bought one as well in CA and total came out to $1098.49 with tax. Picking it up in 15 mins. Perfect timing as my old lcd tv just crapped out last night.

Thanks for the response. I am bit tied so won't be able to go pick up today. But did yours come with the base and remote?

Would be nice to know your thoughts on the TV once you're home. I have a 40" Sony LCD from 2010 that's still going strong.

oddly best buy in PHX (camelback) said they had no idea and weren't doing anything like this but paradise valley I can confirm and I believe N Scottsdale bestbuy is also doing this (but i'd call scottsdale to confirm). got a whirlpool washer machine for 450+ tax.

Edit: I was not asked for a employee code/coupon

I just called in and the employee that answered said there was indeed a friends and family discount but you have to know someone. So yeah, YMMV.
