Unless you're the person looking exactly for this kind of deal and you have one nearby. Then it's not so dumb anymore.
I have one listed as display model, not sure worth the trip to get a display model.
Do they come with best buy warranty or just the manufacturer?

Balance of manufacturers warranty, but you can buy their warranty if you want it. I bought a display of the 77" C9 during Covid and it had a decent number of hours on it, still performing beautifully. I guess technically its lifespan will be a little less than brand new, but I paid practically half price so that's a deal I'm happy to make.

I literally just picked mine up yesterday.
I had ordered one from the Levittown, NY Best Buy earlier this week, but then it popped up in Westbury, NY the following day (both locations are roughly 20-25 minutes apart). I placed orders at both stores just in case one had any cosmetic issues. After work, I checked out the one in Westbury, and the staff was friendly enough to power it on and test it out in front of me. While opening it, I noticed it was practically brand new—all the plastic seals were intact on the unit, the wall mount box, and even the remote control.
The next day, I rented a U-Haul and picked it up. They even offered free delivery if I canceled the order and repurchased it in-store, but I didn't want to risk it, so I decided to pick it up myself.
I'm about to cancel the Levittown, NY order, so it should be available for the next lucky buyer. Happy hunting, fellas! Still can't believe I got a brand-new unit at half price just because the box had been previously opened. FYI, even the box looked brand new—just missing the tabs.
Strangely enough, I had my 77" listed on Facebook Marketplace, and I was able to sell it the same day, recovering half of what I paid for the 83G. Now, the wall is clear for the new setup! 😀
In my experience the condition ratings vary alot at best buy. If it were me, I would go in person and see if I can look at it.
Problem is these deals are beyond obscure, if a deal cannot be replicated by at least 20% of the population it should not be posted!

Pro tip: I figured out recently, after making several BB open box purchases, that you can call or chat with BB corporate and they have a full description of the condition of every open box unit. Just a few days ago, I found a G4 open box that I was considering. There were 2 units available at different locations, purportedly in the same condition. The CSR was able to tell me about: display model (y/n), screen condition, scratches, dents, accessories, box, how long owned / when returned, etc. It made the open box purchase process less of a crapshoot.
