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.

Persistence paid off. Was looking for mainly a dishwasher and a range/micro if I could. After some detective work I found a managers name to use as my "friend" from a store about an hour away. I don't think it really mattered but made it seem more legit First place I tried for all 3 items. Was going well and then I was transferred and told I had to have the employee with me to get the discount. Tried another location and decided to shoot for only the dishwasher because I didn't want to push my luck. Ended up working there. Called another and was able to score the range and microwave. Thanks Slickdeals.

Very store dependent. Brockton, MA I have seen TVs missing remote, cables, box and stand with scratches marked as "excellent." I just bought a TV from Braintree (but haven't picked up) a "satisfactory" with all hardware including remote in a box that was described as a customer return in perfect condition.

I just gave a random name and a different store location when they asked. Manager said ok and processed the sale with the discount after that.

excellent = floor models or just literally had box open but never taken out
satisfactory = small scratches. best when calling to ask the associate to walk over to the appliance and see what type of damages it has and where it's located
fair = more scratches and even dents

every open box condition is eligible

Officially only fair and satisfactory to according to rep on the phone. Claimed it couldn't be entered for higher grades. OTOH, YMMV and how well you negotiate!

Picked up a 65 " LG C9 for $1099. Comes with $100 gift card (basically eats up taxes). Had stand and remote and was a display on the wall. The B9s all had missing parts and no $100 gift card back. B9's were $855. So basically $150 more for parts and newer tv. Will report back on any issues. Have 30 day return period.

According to the store I called, the lady said the company removed the friends and family portion. It's now only for employees. I guess it's over?
I got the same response

Got shut down with the "employee needs to order it" line. I have an acquaintance who works for Best Buy I'm hoping to get their employee ID and see if that will be enough.
