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.

What's the condition. Where in OH? I called 2 stores in Columbus area but they were reluctant to even talk to their Manager to check friends and family offer.
Which stores did you try? Was going to try for a microwave tomorrow.

has anyone in california been able to score this deal with the lockdown (since the stores are closed to pickup orders only (and most of them arent answering phone calls)?
Several already have reported some success (duarte and I think more). I just wish my local store offered delivery. Dont like the idea of curbside pickup of an oven range that I'll have to deal with unloading at home :/ still kinda tempted though.

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, 🤷
I'm in San Diego too, can tips and tricks I can do to help me get this deal?

How'd you get this to work in Michigan? All the store near me only do curbside pickup. Were you able to go in, or did you pay over the phone? Thanks
I bought the tv online and then had it price adjusted when I picked up in-store. Flint was curbside pickup only too. The tv automatically rang up the $899 price in-store.

I'm not in San Diego but near Sacramento, I checked for open box inventory online. Called the stores and gave them the sku to see what the price was and if they had it in stock. The associates were pretty helpful. They asked me to come to the store to buy the tv for the lower price.

Bought tv online, they didn't want to adjust in store despite girl on the phone telling me they will. Didn't pick up, will try adjusting with online chat before next pick up attempt.

Im from Northern California and I was able to order q7 65" open box satisfactory. Called the CSR at 10 AM today and he right away told the discounted price so I ordered one and picked up the TV just now.

The worst return or warranty service ever.
I've never been able to get them to stand by their warranty and store credit on returns.


Once Best Buys gets your $$$ you're screwed.
Not if you screwed them first, this was a MM for me, early birthday surprise! Read about it on my earlier post.
