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.

Confirmed for Columbia, SC. Called Lexington Best Buy and they said they could not honor it. Called the Northeast Best Buy and they honored the 50% off for all Satisfactory and Fair items. Bought a Washer, Dryer, and Range. All before tax: Whirlpool Washer: $381, Whirlpool Dryer: $438, GE Range: $243. All we huge upgrades from what I currently have. Total after all accessories and tax was $1300 delivered. I will likely return some of the accessories though so hopefully get it all for ~$1200.

I got a super helpful employee when I called. I originally asked about the price and condition. I mentioned my "cousin" worked for Best Buy in another state and gave me a coupon code. She price checked the unit and tried the coupon (nothing, this was before detailed instructions were posted). I called back about 30 minutes later since the price in store was cheaper than online. I asked if I could purchase over the phone. She said sure. I told here my "cousin" sent me the full scan sheet, but she talked to her manager after the previous call and knew to input the coupon before the total screen during checkout. She applied the code and total came to $765.47 after tax.

Here are the links to the units I got. They were at the same store so I only had to go through the whole explanation one time:

Any idea how long this will last? Closing on my house in a few weeks. Need a fridge and wouldn't mind upgrading dishwasher and oven but can't make any large purchases yet...

This worked for us. I called earlier before the actual flyer was posted and they would not give any further discount. Girlfriend called back with flyer and coupon code and had no problem! $2400 stove for $600! Thanks OP!

April 17-24. I'm giving it until tomorrow before everything is sold out. The stores I went to today said the employees were already buying everything up.

No go in Kildeer, Crystal lake or Vernon hills in IL. They said an employee needs to come place an order. Offered $50 off.
Weird for Kildeer store I told them my reference was Steven from Skokie and they were able to honor it

OMG! I am so thankful to OP and the member who posted the SKU! I have wanted the C9 for so long and I just got the LG 65C9 OLED delivered for 1100 + $100 BB gift card. I paid $250 for 5yrs of burn in protection (I was about to spend at least 1800 on just the tv).

Thank you thank you thank you! FYI- Just tv and power cord. No remote or stand. I mount everything and use universal remote so NBD for me.

*Edit- Just picked up the OEM Magic Remote on from the rain forest site for $30 Applause
