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.

In my case 2 different stores in IL pretty much added it on their own and the open box condition didn't matter. No fuss no nothing got free delivery with fridge and cheaper extended warranty
Oh wow. That's awesome.

I was able to pickup a Sony XBR85X850G for $899 at the Flint, Michigan store. It was marked as a Satisfactory Open-Box, but it was brand new in the box. Thanks OP!

This is probably a long shot but is anyone here a bestbuy employee in northern California that wouldn't mind me using them as a reference? I called several bestbuys here and they wanted to verify an employee's name in thier system before they will give the discount.

Had to call three best buys to find 65" B9 OLED with remote and stand, but got one open box satisfactory for $950 (I know, half of sale price not open box price but it had everything and that's all they would do)

Also got a Samsung SS Fridge for $324 which was half of the open box price! Just had to add the $19 Home Depot truck rental to get it home.

This is all in San Diego. I was surprised how friendly people were both on the phone and in person.

Thanks OP for this amazing deal. You deserve all the reps for saving me so much today. We really needed the second fridge. The TV, 🤷

Did you try calling another store and asking for their name?

Can i get square trade warranty protection for TV from costco or amazon instead of geek squad protection for 5 years because geek squad seems to be expensive?

Worked in Indiana for a high end Whirlpool washer and dryer. I had to give the name of an employee, luckily I know a friend who works at BB.
