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.

Really? I purchased a C9 Oled 65 inch online. I called the store to adjust the price and they said they can't and that I'd have to call the main number for adjustment. Any truth to this?
It seems all stores doing this differently. One store I went took the payment over the phone and sent me an order/pickup confirmation email almost instantly where the other store I picked up my oven said I'd have to come to the store. no online purchase, no phone purchase. no wonder why they had so many in line waiting...

For TV's does this qualify only for satisfactory? Anyone got lucky with an excellent quality TV?
With respect to TVs, I was told that the discount only applies to open box items in "Satisfactory" or "Fair" condition. Unfortunately, can't confirm one way or another as the product I purchased was in "satisfactory" condition.

Are those a major appliance or TV?

To be fair, I don't think this thread originally included TV's? But it seems to only work for the two.

Worked for me after 3 tries here in DFW . Some BB said the code didn't work at all. The one what worked I didn't even mention it, the rep said appliances and TV's only. Bought a 3k LG fridge for 1230$ plus tax. Wife found out what I had done and wanted a washer and dryer. I called back the same store. Different rep, claimed 50% off was only for employees and not all appliances. I mentioned my purchase and said I was given an exemption, didn't even want to enter the code for me. I'll call back tomorrow and ask for the first rep(she was already off when I called back)
which stores did you call in DFW? Anyone got the 50% discount to work in DFW?

Depends but I got lucky on a 77 inch that was a month old display model wall mounted. Then a 55 inch oled that was in Bnib condition marked as satisfactory.

I got it to work at McKinney. But like I mentioned, I called back 1 hr later to get something else and they wouldn't apply discount. PLANO said it was only for a few TV's. No appliances. Allen said I needed a code. I have them the sku and they claimed it didn't work .

As of last week, it was only on satisfactory or fair TV's. Now in saying that, I was able to score a 65" Sony 950g that was a return, had all the items included in the box that was marked as satisfactory for $699 which was 50% of the new price. The TV only had 19 hours on it. As far as picking up OLEDS, please keep in mind that most of these are displays with thousands of hours on them. Burn in is a real concern. Also the 900f's have been out for two years and can have a tremendous amount of hours on it. Some of the stores are marking items that should be in excellent condition as satisfactory to move them out.

I got a 55" C9 for $750. Unfortunately, it had bad uniformity issues when I did a gray slide test, and clearly visible banding/waviness on white/grays. I guess it's going back. Has anyone else had the same problem?

This is an awesome deal, but was expecting better quality given all I've heard about OLED TVs. I guess I'll be holding onto my 2013 LG Plasma a little longer.
