Deal Details
I bought a 65" B4 from BJ's 2 weeks ago for $999. I knew I should have waited a few weeks since the B5 was getting released soon. I checked today and the same store I paid $999 in Waterford, CT has it on sale today for $799! That is a screaming deal for a 65" OLED. I know the B4 doesn't have 144hz and it might be a bit dimmer than the C4 but it is still an amazing TV. I have a C1 and a CX and the B4 is brighter than both of them. I have the OLED panel brightness turned down to 70 for daytime viewing and 50 at night. It is more than bright enough for most people's needs.
I did check another BJ's in RI and the price was $899. In store only so check a few stores around you to find the lowest price.

I just picked one up myself in New York, however, my only issue is that they charge me sales tax on the original price, so I was taxed $168!
I have never bought anything from BJ's before, is this normal with them??!
I asked a woman and customer service and she said that it is but I just want to be sure

Double check your receipt, i had the same issue. it differed on the final pickup receipt and balanced out to the correct sales tax hope this helps

BJs doesn't lower the price, but keeps it at original price. Charges tax on original price. Then applies the discount as a coupon. They do this for all sales. They're technically coupons.

I have this, I paid a lot more at best buy for it... Before you get it watch the Battle of Winterfell episode of game of thrones... Then get this and watch it with the OLED. You'll be blown away by the improvement in dark scenes.

For anyone who lives outside of New York State, add the television to your cart and attempt to check out on their website, and see what they charge you for tax.
When I check out on the website it also charges me tax on the full original price.

I went back to the store and they referred to the discount as a manufacturer's clipless coupon, which I believe is how they are attempting to charge me tax on the full price.
I'm going to be contacting LG tomorrow and seeing if they are refunding. BJ's $1,300 on the purchase of their 65-in B4.
I came across this issue in RI when I bought mine for $999 a couple weeks ago. If I selected to pick it up in RI it was taxing me on the full original price. I switched to a MA and then a CT store and they both charged sales tax on the selling price. I called the store in RI and the rep told me that RI charges on the full price not on the discounted price. I have never come across this in RI prior to this. I don't know if BJ's is correct or not. I haven't had time to look into it to verify if BJ's is correct but I very much doubt they are.

Edit: I just checked on a couch to see what would happen. The couch was $699.99 and had "savings" of $100.00 for a total of $599.99. It was charging me sales tax in a RI store on the discounted $599.99 price. When I had talked to the rep at the RI store about the tax being charged on the original price the rep said it was because it was a "coupon" not a "savings". I still feel BJ's is doing this wrong because I have never come across this in RI buying anything. Sales tax is always based on what you paid for the item not the original list price.

Here are some general guidelines regarding sales/use tax on discounts. As always, check with your state/local

"Because discounts are generally offered directly by the retailer and reduce the amount of the sales price and the cash received by the retailer, the sales tax applies to the price after the discount is applied. For example, if your normal selling price is $30 but you are offering a 5-percent discount for first time customers, the tax base is $28.50. The same holds true if you are offering a dollar discount rather than a percentage discount. If the normal price is $30.00, but you are offering a $5.00 discount for returning customers, your tax base (prior to any taxable shipping) is $25.00.

If, however, the discount is sponsored by the manufacturer or the distributor and you will be reimbursed by either of these parties for offering the discount, the sales tax base is the full sales price and not the reduced sales price. As noted below with manufacturer's coupons, because the tax base is the amount of receipts you receive for selling the product, the states generally don't distinguish whether the payment comes from the customer or by some third party. As noted above in the Georgia definition, coupons that are reimbursed by a third-party are NOT treated as a sales price adjustment. This rule is pretty uniform across the country."

I can't seem to find any 55" in stock near me but I remember seeing them for $999 to $1,099 when they were in stock. Yes, more than the 65" version.

They do answer the phone at the store. Unlike Sam's club.
If you ask, they will look up nearby stores to see if it's in stock.

Well I actually went above and beyond and gave LG a call today as well as BJ's.
According to LG, there is no manufacturer's coupon regarding the sale of any of their televisions, nor are they reimbursing retailers for selling them.
I actually had the agent who I spoke to send me a transcript of our conversation to which I mentioned this to the agent from BJ's when I spoke to them.
BJ's is going to get back to me in 3 days or less as my case has been" escalated ".

I'm willing to bet I'm going to get my money back here as I don't think they expected someone to push it quite as far as I have.

However, a friend of mine is also a lawyer and I'm going to run this by him and see what he thinks.

In New York state, the only way they can charge you the full sales tax of an item is if manufacturer based coupon is involved in some way.
If the sale is at the retailer level (which I am 99% sure it is in this case), you are supposed to be taxed on the final sale.
