This is such an ugly case; hopefully, they are getting rid of it. They should sell Area 51.

Picked up probably the last one in the Twin Cities area a couple days ago for $748. No keyboard, no mouse, no power cable, even the Wi-Fi antennae were missing. The store didn't feel the need to discount it further based on that, so a quick email to the Better Business Bureau got me a call from Best Buy's executive team today with a $200 reimbursement. For just over 600 bucks after taxes, this was an absolute steal.

Why do I find this story hard to believe? The BBB ain't worth their name.

The BBB has, so far, in the past three years, resolved matters for me with Verizon, Samsung and now Best Buy. The only one with which it has failed has been Amazon - and by "failed" I mean I still got a response from [email protected], but they refused to do anything about my complaint (had to do with failing to honor a promise to replace a mis-delivered package). Better success rate than with the long-defunct Planet Feedback.

You are free to believe what you want, but what would I have to gain by inventing this story? Here's the e-mail they wrote me. I'd find the BBB confirmation as well, but it looks like I deleted it.

You're lucky. Wasn't meaning to call you a liar. But my experience with BBB is checking out a companies and most people will tell you that it's not legitimate. Glad you got a good deal. I got real lucky last December and got an open box Corsair Vengeance with a 13600k, RTX4070 and 32gb SSD ram for $299. It was listed as a 3070 but the geek squad guy must have found out the GPU was cooked and just threw a 4070 in there because the 3070s we're probably all gone. But it was just lying in the case not mounted with just the power cord attached. I thought it wasn't ever going to work. But after mounting it, it worked. And so far this has been a monster PC for me. Believe that if you want haha. Sometimes we get lucky. BB open box is hit or miss.

Glad it worked better for you bbb route to save some extra $$$. Sometimes it just works by calling cs directly avoiding bbb. At least it did 2 times for me in the past.

I'm not interested in what "most people", not a single one of whom, I'd wager, have ever personally dealt with BBB and are just doing the same thing as you - re-telling, third-hand, a story that, during the course of its travel through the Internet, has gotten warped and twisted until it makes no sense, will tell me. I've got half a dozen instances of first-hand experience which tell a different one.

How is it "not legitimate"? People really shouldn't use words the meaning of which they don't understand. No, it's not the foremost authority on consumer protection, nor are businesses required to be accredited by it. But with big businesses it still carries some weight - as my examples illustrate. The BBB can't force a business to do anything - but it can relay a message. Which seems to be plenty for those companies that want to do something for the customer. In my case, Amazon didn't and there wasn't a thing the BBB could do to force them, but others did.

You got a better deal than me, that's for sure, even with a prior-gen processor.

Sometimes it does and I did do that. First, they couldn't find my order. Then, two separate agents told me the only option they could offer was for me to return it or go back to the store (an hour away each way) which had already refused to discount it further. So, BBB it was.
