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.

Stores are clearly all over the board on this promotion but the local manager did tell me that they would honor until the end of the month if not beyond (our state is on stay home orders until at least May 3).
Both confirmed that open box satisfactory or below appliances + TVs are 50% off. One even tried to put the code in for an excellent condition but it didn't work. He offered to take another $100 off but I declined.
The second store had an LG C9 satisfactory available (only box missing but base and remote available). $1100 + $100 gift card and I bought the 2 yr BB warranty for $149.
Now the question is, which one should I keep?
LG C9 for $1100
Sony A8G for $999.99 (missing remote and base/stand)
Thank You
Despite the ending, it does not, in fact, have GPS. It's super quiet. You can really only tell it's running by the lights and the occasional waste water discharge into the sink drain.

I hope the end of the month/May 3 is true. I'm okay with the TV I got but I'd rather the 55 instead of a 50" for a bunch of feature reasons. What region are you in?
