Anyone know what these terms and conditions are (it doesn't say anything else)? I have a few laptops that are like 15 years old, would they work for this trade-in?

I just wish Best Buy did more (any?) shipping of these open boxes, but I did find some within 50 miles.
I do have a Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i open-box excellent being shipped to me...will have it in two days. They basically just ship them from other stores. I'm guessing it's inventory they can't get rid of locally so they put it up for shipping, which would explain why shipped units are typically crappier than in-store.
Oh, and if no one noticed, BB changed the rules for Open-box Excellent last week. According to official BB site, an OB-Excellent may not even come with a box. At all. So now what was an Open Box-Good can now be sold for more $$$ as an Excellent!

Honestly the first thing I do when I buy something open boxes just go home and test the battery for cycles. I bought my Lenovo duet open box and the battery had like one or two cycles only. If it had hundreds of cycles I just would have returned it immediately.

So, had to waste 45 minutes and $5 in toll road fees to go return it. That's 3 in a row of Open Box units shipped to me that were totally screwed up.
So kids -- when you see Open Box EXCELLENT, it's just a suggestion, a possibility of what might come in the box to you. But unlikely. Like a weather forecaster, being a BB employee is another job you can screw up and be wrong ALOT and still keep your job.
