I bought a 48" LG C1 from Gamestop with the store credit from the pro member console trade-in deals a few months ago and LG gave me the 6 months HBO Max subscription even though Gamestop wasn't on their list of authorized retailers.
The TV packaging/box mine came in also looked cleaner and in better shape then TV boxes at retail stores. Only problem was they marked the tracking number as FedEx but it was actually for Pilot(I think that's the name). So I was surprised the TV was going to be delivered while the tracking on Gamestop's website still said waiting for pickup from FedEx.
GameStop isn't actually selling these directly. LG is selling them using GameStop as a storefront (kind of like how Amazon/Walmart have third party sellers). I bought a 48" CX model from them a few months ago and when I had issues with the order I was told I had to contact LG directly to handle issues related to it as they were the seller.
There's probably wiggle room in LG's stance on authorized resellers - local and regional warranty laws likely forbid them from enforcing this everywhere.
I posted it as a warning because LG is the one who gets to decide if they want to honor it, and they make themselves clear that they may not if the retailer is unauthorized.
I've seen horror stories - someone buying from GreeneTow and LG telling them to pound sand when requesting warranty services. If you want to risk it - that's fine. But there's nothing more frustrating than yelling at the brick wall that is customer service at a mega corporation.
Sounds like cap to me. Cause Green Toe would never show up on anything. They are only the middle man for whatever retailer accepts your offer. And they only use authorized retailers on there anyway

You may* not get the manufacturer's warranty.

Are you sure that's C1 and not A1? Looking at their Deals page, the worse A1 is 1500 for 65.
