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.

So we call and provide this code?
Don't bother calling - buy it online full price. Go to the store. Tell the cashier you're going to cancel the order (it'll already be up front, picked and ready to go). Cancel it via your smartphone. The "license" goes back into the inventory. Have them ring it up, and give them that SKU to punch in, and it'll ring up as 1/2 off on open box appliances.

I have never heard of a Best Buy putting out a used customer return fridge. Generally all the open box fridges on the floor are the display models that don't even get plugged in, or something where delivery was refused.

Direct from BB website.

Open-Box Satisfactory
Minor to moderate cosmetic signs of use possible
Any signs of use will not impact performance
Nonessential parts or accessories may be missing

So yes they sell used returns.

What was the price for the TV before the coupon?

You got the TV for the normal price in store. My store has it for that price and it is without any coupon
Your store has a 65" Sony A8G in "satisfactory" condition for $1000? Better snatch it up then! MSRP on the TV is closer to $2500, sale price on new is $2000, and open box is around $1600, before taxes.

The discount of 50% off reflects the current sale price of the item new, so if it's $2600, the 50% off open box would be $1300, before taxes.

For those that have bought TVs, are you getting 50% off the new price or 50% off the open box price? There is a store about 1.5-2 hours away that has a TV I'd like to get but I don't want to drive that far only to be turned away.

How long is this special offer good for? Currently in the market for a washer/dryer too but won't have time to go pick anything up until next Monday.

Got a LG B9 65" OLED for $950. No remote or stand. Floor model. Will evaluate for burn in and probably add a Geek Squad warranty to be sure.

Wow, I noticed as the day goes on there rules and requirements are changing. Potomac Mills location only honored it after I showed them from my emil receipt from the Baileys location.
Still worth the fight for the price adjustment bc stock is going fast
Thanks Ricketta2k3. I finally got it worked from Baileys as well as Sterling. I got all my shopping list done and all four major appliances for under $1200. Amazing deal!!!!

Seriously, WTF. I've seen a few people near the end mention using a SKU for the 50% discount, but no one posts what that SKU is!?!? Gone through about 12 pages so far and still looking..
