Return/Rebuy Question

[minkid817]

I was planning to buy some of the things that BestBuy and CompUSA have available instore now, and then bringing it back to the store on Black Friday and doing a return/rebuy. Can anyone tell me if this would or would not work? Thanks in advance.

All I can say is you can try it but more than likely this will not be allowed til after the sales are all over with. You may want to call one of the stores and make up a scenario to ask so it does not look like you are trying to take advantage of them. Do something like this: Hello, I was curious if we purchase a product today at your store and find that during the Thansgiving day sales that always take place, that the same product is on sale for a much lower cost, can i get the difference back, do I have to wait in lines to get it that day, what is your process for giving me the best price etc..

 

Sorry for the typos, typing with a couple of busted fingers.

Don't know about CompUSA's policy, but the Best Buys we've BF'd at close their customer service areas for returns during the "doorbuster" hours and use that area for sales of "ticketed" items like the laptop, desktop computers, and the like. During the last hour or so prior to the doors opening, BB employees cruise the line handing out "reserve item" tickets for those that want this or that particular item and when the tickets are gone, so is their stock of that item.....applies to the laptop certainly, probably the desktop, some of the TVs, etc.

 

The customer service desk area, usually the return/rebuy area, is open for customers to pick up and pay for those items only. The return/rebuy option has been "halted" during the first hours of BF, so far as we've seen.
